Swivel cable - Maytronics vs Polaris?

My Dolphin is dead after an almost 4 year run. Great cleaner although the cable gets very twisted after several runs, even though it’s a swivel type. Had to replace the cable last year (60’) and the new one wasn’t better in that regard. Anyone know whether Polaris’ swivel cable is less prone to tangling / more adept at untangling? I’m leaning toward sticking with Maytronics but if Polaris has solved the tangling issue that might sway me. TIA.

Jax,

The cable on the EVO is much, much better than the Dolphin cables..

That said, if you leave the EVO in the pool, and run many times in a row, it will still tangle... but, since the cable is twice as thick, it does not tie itself in knots like the Dolphins do..

Thanks,

Thanks Jim R! Is your EVO still going strong two years later? Any significant issues?

Jim,

I still love it!!! When I need another robot it will be an EVO..

That said, it has only been about two years, so only time will tell how long it lasts..

So far I have had no problems at all.

Thanks,

Jim R.
 
In 8 seasons I never had an issue with my Polaris cable twisting. The robot is having issues this year and I will most likely buy another Polaris.
