Anyone take one for the team and pick one of these up? Curious how it reviews compared to the Betta and S2 from Aiper. My Betta has honestly been running great despite the little red gear on the impeller needing glued on - don't see myself changing brands but interested to hear impressions!

So I ended up buying one of these in May because I needed something immediately while my Dolphin E10 was being repaired. I'm honestly really impressed with it overall. It's still a 'dumb' cleaner but does do a decent job of maneuvering around my pool using the 'S' pattern - which ends up...

Yikes at that price, but the features seem really nice - will be curious how these units review next season. I love the idea of the non-Pro model actually mapping out the pool floor and navigating "smartly", although I have my doubts on how effective it is. I agree Katodude should take one...

My Betta 2 is still going great after getting it back from warranty claim in early April. Motors are still whisper quiet, compared to when I shipped it off. I'm in the same boat. I've already got my moneys worth and more over the past two seasons, no way I could deal with manual skimming...

Yikes $300 for just the power supply. Not sure what I expected but that wasn't it.

Can't say enough good things about the Betta when it's working well. Went to check on it this morning, this was just from running it overnight.

Just checked UPS and supposed to be getting mine back from repairs tomorrow. Perfect timing too, been really sick of manually skimming these past few weeks!

I dealt with back pressure related to air in the basket/filter for the longest time until just recently. Air would get compressed in the filter when in use, and turning off pump would release this pressure shaking the plumbing and blowing the lid off the skimmer. I believe over time this led...

Thanks for the feedback. I heard similar things from others online, but talking to local pool repair companies, most said they wouldn't even work on anything besides Pentair/Hayward/etc, which made my decision easy. Hope your newest one works out better than the rest!

I did, looks like they only offer rebates for EV charging. I ended up going with a Pentair SuperFlo VST and so far it's been working great. Surprised how quiet this thing is on low RPM.

Crud, was hoping for a few weeks but we'll see! I just shipped it off today.

Welp, threw mine in the pool this morning - and it powers on and off randomly. Both motors work, and it will putter around for anywhere from 1sec to a full minute before eventually dying with led lights flashing back and forth between green and red. Thankfully still under warranty and their...

Are Doheny brand pumps decent quality wise? They are significantly cheaper than comparable brands, I assume for a reason. It looks like one of them is actually a re-branded Hayward. Shows self-priming, probably louder than most? I have a 1hp Hayward super right now that looks like it needs...

https://www.engadget.com/aiper-seagull-pro-pool-cleaning-robot-quad-motor-220001324.html Seems like they have potential, releasing in March.

Mine is still going strong since getting it early May. I have noticed it being quite a bit louder, I assumed it was the bearings in the paddles in the front but might be one of the propellers instead? Either way, I've skimmed maybe like 10x this entire summer and pool looks great. Love this...

Interested in these. Do they actually map out the floor, knowing where it hasn't been similar to robot vacuums? Are they using cameras to accomplish this or some other method? Are there other robots out there that perform similar functions? Is the cord in your video just so you can easily...

Version 2.

Mine is still chugging along, running at least 12 hours a day cleaning and making my life much easier. Went out of town for a week, had someone empty him once but came back to a nearly perfect pool surface. Never gets stuck but I also don't have stairs... Love this thing.

Thanks for this, informative had no idea. 22 133 19:15 is what current batch shows, so thinking around a month old. Never heard of local stores selling growlers lol, will look into it.

Yeah I thought about this before ordering, but for the price it seems worth the risk. I spot checked a few that I got in and couldn't make heads/tails of whatever was written on them date wise. Thankfully the last batch seem quite potent for raising FC so hopefully not a concern. Stinks you...

My buddy tipped me off to Walmart selling 128oz of 10% sodium hypo for $4.89/ea. I'm able to get free next day shipping with orders over $35. https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/48938023 Seems like a no brainer unless someone has a better hook up? I have vinyl so cal hypo is an option but this...

Too cute. 12 days later and this thing continues to impress me. If I had to guess it's likely been running for 120hrs+ total since I've bought it, I'll get up in the middle of the night to pee and peek at the pool and see him cruising around still cleaning at 3am. Seriously love this thing...

Or god forbid you land on the cute little guy!

Yeah only a single skimmer and return over here, and historically doesn't do a great job pulling in surface debris.

Well it's been 48 hours since receiving my Betta 2 and I haven't skimmed once. Surface looks better than it ever has. We had a small storm roll through last night with the potential for hail, so I took him out of the pool beforehand and threw him in this morning. There were a fair amount of...

Right, I meant keeping them both in during a cleaning for a few hours - not indefinitely. I try and pull my Dolphin out soon after it's finished a session.

Got my Betta 2 in yesterday afternoon, ordered blue version but they sent me white unfortunately but I don't care enough to return. I unboxed it and immediately threw it into the pool, I loved that there were no cables or batteries or anything - just the unit and optional remote control...

It's a dope backyard, looks clean. Getting seriously excited for this thing!
