Dolphin s300i

My 2 y.o. dolphin s300i when scrubbing wall goes straight up instead of tilted to one side. I've checked the directional nozzle & it moves freely. Authorized service shop says this is normal but wants me to bring it in to be checked out for a fee. Manufacturer said the same thing but all their promotional videos shows this device tilted to one side when cleaning walls. Anyone experience this?

Going straight up does the same work, doesn't it?

It cleans that small portion but it also wear out the wall because robot stays in one spot scrubbing when its supposed to be tilted & scrub along the waterline for a certain amount of time.

Are you talking about the wall or the water line? My A30i goes straight up the wall, but when arriving at the water line will start sending out water from one side moving horizontally along the water line.

Oh duh! Yeah that makes sense now..... If OP's doesn't do that it should be checked out. It wasn't clear to me what the problem was.

Please update us if you find the "fix", ok?

does the dolphin s300i have a full basket indicator (light)?

B,

My S200, which is the same as the S300 without all the bells and whistles, goes up the wall and stops at the tile line.. Then water blows out one side moving it along the tile line..

It stays level and does not tilt.. My older Dolphins all had handles and tilted when cleaning the wall tile. The S200/300 has a different system to make it move along the tile line.

Full basket indicators are pretty much useless.. I would not rely on them to be very accurate either way..

Thanks,
