Recommendations for new robot?

[loveit]

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a new robot. I just recently started researching but feeling overwhelmed.

I currently have a Dolphin M400. I've had it since 2018. I need something that doesn't weigh as much. It doesn't always climb the walls. Also, it has started draining out dirty water after lifting it out, so all the fine dirt particles are going back down into the pool.

I have a 12x26 fiberglass pool (7600 gallon), and SWG (dunno if that matters). I need something to clean lots of dust/dirt, and bugs (worms, beetle-looking things), no leaves. Something lighter weight than the M400 and that has less risk of draining out the dirty water into the pool. I do not need a schedule.

Call Marina Pool and Spa. They can give you the best recommendations based on your needs, they keep up on all the models. They have been good to TFP members. Oh, and because they are brick and mortar, you get the full warranty.

As for dust/dirt, you might find a model with "fine filter" option to be best for you...

I didn't have much luck with them. I called and left VM and emailed twice and never got a followup. I hear great things about them from here and Reddit, but I didn't have much luck.

Call right when they open at 10AM Colorado time. Most get lucky then. When you do get them, you'll be happy you persisted as everyone to this day is raving about the personal service causing the wait time.

She talked me and an IRL buddy out of the expensive model. (Who does that ?) His was a dud and she ran out of the cheaper ones and sent him the better one free of charge. It was probably 2 weeks total from the first phone call to free upgraded robot on site.

Thanks, I spoke with Margaret at Marina and went with the EVO 614iQ
