My next robot WILL have top loading. It's the one activity that you have to perform to run the robot, every time. Clean the filters. I get tired of flipping over my robot to pull out the filters. My kids can't flip the robot over so I can't make them do it.
The clips that hold my filter cover on the robot are also not the most reliable now either with the old robot so sometimes when I pull the robot out of the water, one of the clips comes loose and some debris goes back in the pool.
That wouldn't happen with a top loader.
