We bought a house built in late 2017 that had a pool put in by a nice local pool company in late 2018 by the original owner.
Its a salt cell with pebbletex surface, seemingly nice equipment, with a Pentair racer cleaner and Hayward booster pump. I have a reputable local pool service that comes out once a week for maintenance but once of the wheels broke from the Pentair so I am shopping cleaners, which is how I found this amazing site.
Would like opinion on my equipment and suggestions on a new cleaner. If I have a weekly guy that says "all I have to do as an owner is worry about where I hang my trunks". I am assuming that means that along with cleaning the baskets/filters, etc that he is also scrubbing the pool. I noticed the couple months we've been in the house before the front wheel broke off that the cleaner continuously got stock on the steps.
Do I need a robot cleaner for my set up if I have a pool guy coming over once a week, is something like a pressure side cleaner with a scrubber ok?

Robot cleaners are some of today's newest products, allowing owners to clean pool surfaces very well without the additional demand placed on plumbing, pumps, etc. Still, many love their suction/pressure cleaners. Really a personal call based on features and budget.
