I'm loving this thing. It works great! I was driving it around the pool like an RC car.

The older girls haven't gotten to play with it yet but I'm sure they'll like driving it

That's awesome. It's got great features and it's going to make keeping the pool clean a breeze.

Have fun coming up with a name. I suggest a rousing family discussion of the matter over a meal at Johnny Rockets.

Oh, and don't forget to try driving it at night with the blinking LED light in the front (does the M series have the LED light in the front?).

The temptation to make "pew, pew...PEW" laser gun noises is undeniable....

Dang! you guys making me feel like I need one of these to clean my pool

Instead of getting tangled around the barstools it went right up and over them. So for anyone curious we ran it for a few hours yesterday, it had no trouble getting up and staying on the waterline even by the spa and stools but it hiccups a little on figuring out the Baja step. I'm at work but maybe Mike has a different opinion since he's been playing with it

I have the Z5 and it won't go onto my 12" deep reef. Yours should be the same?

 

[Mhambel1]

Yup, same here. It doesn't climb up. We put three pool returns on the back of the shelf. They have been doing a good job pushing everything down so far during normal filtering. I'm thinking a light brush every once in a while will keep it good. How many times a week should I run this robot?

 

[kimkats]

Your pool will tell you. You need to run it enough to keep the pool clean of sand and such. At least once a week and go from there.

Mike and I built and stained the bench next to the spa in the sunken bar. I'm going to polyurethane it today. I really love the color this came out its dark walnut by varathane

 

[joanniern]

We built it with the wood pallet our decking was shipped on. The support we made out of pressure treated wood

 

[JoyfulNoise]

Awesome sauce!!!

 

[bdavis466]

That really looks good and fits the space well.

 

[kimkats]

WHAT??? From trash to work of art! I LOVE that color and how the grain of the wood shows through! WOWER!!

We finished the steps although everything now needs a good wash. We are held up on the deck because we had to order more boards. They'll be here on the 2nd and we can get going on it again. Mike and I put the trusses up on the patio cover and have been slowly getting close to roofing it.

 

[joanniern]

We also finally put out our new furniture

WHITE? You got WHITE and have kids and a husband???????? You are BRAVE! LOL The only while allowed around here is socks cheap enough to throw away if/when needed.

That looks awesome! Is is a comfy as it looks? I love the pillow on the pretty bench!

I'm all for the cheap, clear vinyl covers...ya know, the kind that sticks to your skin when sweaty...then again I am Italian and I did grow up in NY so plastic furniture covers and "velvet" wall paper is kind of the norm for my fashion sense ??

 

[joanniern]

I'm sewing new covers they are also white but are stain resistant and stronger material. The covers are removable and washable

 

[bmoreswim]

Did you weave the material too?
