I currently have a suction side Rebel and have been browsing the threads on robots the last month or so and am intrigued. So I was thinking about researching the and maybe replacing the Rebel in about a year or so. Well today I noticed the hose ends on the rebel are getting brittle starting to crack and break off, so I may be moving on to a robot real soon. Many of you have sold me on the Warrior / S200. After reading reading through other threads I have a couple of questions:
1. It seems some people leave the robot in the pool all of the time and others only put it in the pool to clean and then remove it. My rebel stays in the pool 24/7 which is convenient, but with a robot, I don't think I really want to have a cord laying across my patio all day, every day. For those of you do not leave it in the pool, is it a hassle to put it in / remove it daily or almost daily?
2. Is there a big advantage of the caddy? The specs for the Warrior SE is about 16.5 lbs dry if I am reading the info right. That doesn't seem to be too terribly heavy to lug around. But it may be convenient for storing the robot and cord. If I do go with a caddy, I may upgrade to the Prowler 930 or S300, just because there wouldn't be too much of a price difference.
Any thoughts or comments on the above is much appreciated.
