After owning one of these for over a year I'm reasonably happy with it. I do think it's strange though that I never see these recommended anywhere else on the internet except here. I'm not saying people recommend against them... it just doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar except here. LOL...

I probably should have, but did not. I confirmed they leslies does sell the evo robots, at least on their website, and they do service other Polaris/fluidra models, so I’d hope the seemingly reputable folks at marina pool and spa would have been honest with me… and if they were genuinely...
