Active 30 vs Premium 40 vs Premium WiFi (And maybe EVO 604/614)

So I think I am giving up on the M4 - want to move to top basket anyways as I have grown to hate the cartridges and with a 36ft pool it seems the 20/200 series have too short of a cord?.

Trying to buy in store for the current rebates unless I get some online smoking deals (i.e. the Premium if it is a good model). All the Dolphins listed I think come with caddy and both filter types - not sure if they all have the bigger basket or some have small one. I don't really need the caddy as I have my M4 one which is another reason the EVO 604/614IQ are tempting but unproven.

Ultimately just want to remote powering of cleaner which I would get with automation and wifi plug so onboard wifi and apps not crucial but are nice.

The Active 30 seller is trying to say it is equivalent to the Premium 40 but hard to tell from sites??? Same seller also suggested Nautilus CC Pro at $1499 but no extra filter or caddy which seem worth the $300 difference......

I believe in KISS. Keep IT Simple (Sailor, Soldier, Sammy, Sally, Stupid). Your choice for the final word.

I have the Active 20. Dumb robot but gets the job done. I throw it in the water, press the power button. 2-hours later done. Love it. Everything else is fluff.
Unless it would place itself in the water and then climb out when complete, and coil its cable, then upgrading just does not make sense.

Just my opinion but hope it make sense. All those extras don't do much for you.
