I did -- shipped out today. Good news is Maytronic will send out as soon as FedEx scans it -- Prepaid shipping.
New one came in today -- running like a champ. Climbing walls and breaking Barracuda hearts.
Question -- do you recommend the filters installed or using the mesh? Our pool is enclosed. Not much in the way of leaves, etc. Sand, etc, mostly.

It seems not all are the same? Do you have pleated filters in the basket and a screen insert? Or gave to do one or the other?
I would use the pleated ones, like vacuuming our pool 
. Mine has a screen insert and I get a lot of tree junk but if your covered just use the pleated ones..
I asked earlier if anybody had to replace then the several folks said Nope, rinse and put back in

My only issue is the flashing LEDs when it's scheduled. We have three sets of french doors leading out to our pool -- lots of windows. Ultimately, I'm going to have an outlet installed in the ceiling and mount the box on the wall to keep it out of the elements and easy to access. The LEDs are like living over a bar.
I might use some of that black landscaping fabric to make a small drape over it.

I agree with that, mine was on the porch for a while.My only issue is the flashing LEDs when it's scheduled. We have three sets of french doors leading out to our pool -- lots of windows.

Have you tried automation mode yet? Easy way to get around that

They one I bought doesn't have automation mode. I think making a little flap to cover it will be fine and won't look bad.
It will do it, they just don't tell you

all you need is a smart plug, $15 on amazon..Then you can turn your cleaner on and off when you want or set a schedule
here is how mine is set now. Plus you can start and stop from the app
Pentair Warrior SE - length of power cord and Aux power control
Hello, I just purchased a Warrior SE from Margaret at Marina Pool Spa & Patio (thanks for the strong recommendations everyone) and now I need to install a new exterior outlet on the side of my house to power it. I have a small overhang off the side of the house (like underneath a bay window)...

Nice. Does your require another button press to start the robot? I have a large power button to make it go.
The down side to automation is once you set it up you can't use the buttons on the power supply. If you push them it disables automation. So you can try automation mode and go back to normal.
I just use a smart plug like this VeSync Smart Plug by Etekcity, 2 Pack Mini WiFi Outlets, Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, Remote Control from Anywhere, WiFi Energy Monitoring with Schedule Function, No Hub Required, ETL Listed - - Amazon.com
It's amazing how little information about these gadgets there is. Does the robot "learn" the pool layout, like our Roomba, or does it just randomly run around for a couple hours?
I guess we aren't normal pool owners, I asked Pentair about automation and they acted like I was making it up.
I also asked Circupool about how the Edge works and was told just use it basically
I think so.
Either they tell me or I'm going to take it apart and find out for myself.
My Circupool swg will be here today.
