Thanks for the advice. I just ordered the Dolphin Premier. It has wifi and bluetooth and also came with a caddy. I found a lot of models hard to get here in Canada. Like the Dolphin S200. It wasn't even available on Amazon. Anyway, I wanted some of bells and whistles so found the premier on sale in Toronto with free shipping.
Pool Cleaners (robot, etc)- how long have you had yours?

I've had to overhaul mine once in the last 10 years, and replace the tail float. Otherwise - it's still good.

Blue Diamond - 10 years and 3 months with zero repairs. Vacuum pump motor still working but motor to drive vac across pool died 3 days ago.
No complaints except a minor one that repair costs are enough to pay for a mid-priced robot replacement.
This is in East Central Florida, with solar heat so the season is long. No cage so it had to deal with the usual blown-in dirt/sand plus leaves, live oak pollen, etc.
Going to try out the Dolphin M600 as a replacement - sourced from Marina Pool, Spa, etc.

Second week or so with the Doheny's Discovery. It cleans ok, undecided if I would purchase again. I also have Nautilus CC Plus that should be returning today from a warranty repair after 1.5 years of use. It cleans very well, but I would not buy it again, because the black plastic side panels leave black marks on the corners of my plaster pool. Very obnoxious to scrub off. Also, the tracks come off on occasion.
