Like you i was questioning the same few weeks ago. Ended up ordering from Marina. Here is why
Price is usually 100-200 cheaper depending on the model. Marina is authorized Pentair dealer so warranty is the same. Marina was nice enough to give me prowler since SI was not in stock at that time. I...
I would suggest calling Marina Pool for recommendation. I was almost ready to pull the trigger from Amazon but ended up buying from Marina. Better services and competitive price.
I ended up getting a pentair prowler for $749 from Marina Pool and Spa. To my surprise. it also carried a rebate of $100. So it ended up same price as S200 with app navigation. I use the app to clean steps. So far happy with the purchase
S200 does the waterline cleaning. CC Plus does not. So S200 has an advantage point. i am going with Warrior Si for $749 which is equivalent of S300 with a bluetooh app.
I would recommend return ir and get dolphin s200 or warrior se from marina pool for $699. Or call your local pool store they may have dolphin active 20 for $629 including a $50 rebate. All these cleaners brush waterline which cc plus does not clean waterline. Dolphin s200/warrior se/active 20...
I looked at it. Active 20, warrior SE and S200 they all are exactly the same. The rebate from a pinch a penny for $50 stands out. it comes out $629+tax-$50 rebate. Need to ask Marina if they have similar model/price point.
To add to the mix i just got quote for Dolphin Active 20 from local pinch a penny for $629 with a $50 rebate brings out cheaper than offered for Marina
Back to square one one Pentair Warrior SE vs SI vs A20. Basically $699 vs $749 vs $629 ($50 rebate less)
i am on the same boat. on other hand the Nautilius CC Plus on Amazon doesn't seem to exhibit the same behavior. Another Dealer mentioned CC Plus is better, it may be due to the only model they sell online so they stand by their product :)
Thanks Jim. Convinced to buy Warrior SI for $749.
$50 more than Warrior SE but okay to have some option of controlling the cleaning. Hopefully Pentair approves the rebate. Tired of waiting for Maytronics rebate
i have similar setup, with 18K gal pool. Spent countless hours on comparing nautilus cc plus on amazon and called Marina as other recommended. Their price is too low and with no sales tax they are the best winner in my opinion.
Debated between Dolphin S200 ($720) and Pentair Warrior SE ($699)...
Thank you for the insight and sorry to hear about denials. Seems the rebate is usually $25 for S200. Not worth the wait. I am planning to give warrior SI a try. Someone in forum mentioned marina upgrade their filters. Can i get more details please. Thanks
I am unable to decide between these two. The price difference between the two is about $70 ($779 vvs $849) but the later says it can clean waterline.
Dolphin site list Triton as a cleaner for water line. But i see CC Plus is the #1 seller and has very high number of reviews. Am i missing...
Do you still recommend ordering fro Marina? I wonder what advantage they have compared to Amazon? the only option i see is saving sales tax Please share your thoughts. Are there any price advantage over Amazon?
