Newbie - Robot Question!

Hey folks, 1st full year (installed last fall) with new pool. Fiberglass inground pool, 16X40 rectangle (18K gal) with ledge and lots of steps/corners everywhere. I usually get dirt/grit build up on the ledge and steps or corners in the deep end. Was looking at the Dolphin Premier or the Polaris F9550 sport to cover the size of the pool and for waterline cleaning.

Wanted to check with the group and see if anyone has any preference between the two or experiences with either good or bad? I don't mind spending the money but want to make sure its going to perform as needed and I won't still be scrubbing waterlines with a brush or hand vacuum corners/ledges.

Thanks in advance.

I have the Dolphin and love it. I haven't had to use a vacuum in years. That said you still want to brush daily as it also helps to mix your chemicals properly.

For best results you will want to brush the steps, ledge and corners and push the debris into the open before starting up the bot.
