I recently purchased the S300. The pool store I purchased it from had access to the "S" line but nothing else. On the other hand, the local Leslie's had access to the rest of the Maytronics line but did not have access to the "S" line. Seems like Maytronics is controlling who is allowed to have access to it...
So far I'm pretty happy. I did not expect the S300 to have bluetooth capability (like the S300i), but was pleasantly surprised when I found out that it does. Looking a little closer at the specs, it seems that the only difference between the two is the filter style (the 300i uses pleated filters plus a mesh filter, the 300 only has the mesh filter) and an additional 2-1/2 hour cycle option. My pool is pretty large, so I wish I would have paid the extra for the longer run time of the 300i. Oh, well.
