My last two cleaners are/were suction side cleaners. My current unit is a Pentair Great White. Unfortunately it is suffering from advanced age and will soon need to be replaced. I have been thinking of going with a robotic cleaner as I believe that setup and take down will be simpler. Some qualities that I would like to have:
Brushes so that I don't have to manually brush the pool as much.
Clean bottom and also the walls.
High reliability and durability.
Timer so that during the week I can leave the unit in the pool and will operate only enough to clean the pool once over.
Don't really need a remote control.
My pool has wedding cake steps and also a spa bench. It is also a free form pool, in the shape of an "L". In ground with PebbleTech finish.
I am willing to pay more for a better quality unit that will last longer and do a better job. Can anyone chime in with some recommendations?
