My local Pinch-a-Penny repaired this robot occasionally, replacing wear parts as necessary. They commented more than once that it had a lot of sand/silt in the cleaner and that likely caused it to wear out faster than normal. Before I invest another $800 in a pool robot, what am I missing? Should I buy a different model less susceptible to this type of wear and tear? The robot was left in the pool year round but we took usual care in untwisting the cord and cleaning the basket. Any insight because I'd hate to buy another similar model with such a poor life span. Thanks for any thoughts.
