It appears that I can only get Polaris products repaired at my local pool stores even if they sell then, so before I bought something like a EVO or other brand I would find out who does the warranty repairs. In talking to the guy in the repair center I started asking about other brands he recommends and he is a big fan of BWT as they have a 3 year warranty and the best ( in his opinion) micro filter capability - which is a bigger thing for me as we don't have a ton of leaves. He sells most all brands in addition to repair. He also mentioned the Dolphin Active20 with the additional extra fine filter- with a 2 year warranty. He sells them both for $999. I really don't care about the wifi ability to turn something on and off or program. The ability to drive something to a spot that got missed would be nice, but not required. I run a robot maybe once a week and take it out and clean it and store it after ever use - which maybe be partially why my last one lasted 18 years. Also considering the Polaris Epic 8642Q which is currently on sale for $1100 including a cart - but might need to add the fine filters. Thoughts? Suggestions?
