Which robotic pool cleaner is the best, Aquabot, Dophin or Hayward or somethiing else?

Question

I have a 20X40 inground pool with a liner. Tired of having to vacuum all the time.

Answer 1

The Hayward Navigator is a good one. They swallow just about anything in their way but they do have an issue regarding the mesh on the turbine intake on the back of the unit. You need to watch to see that it doesn't get clogged with debris. That inlet provides one of the turbines water, that in turn powers the turning gears that stop the cleaner from getting hung up in a corner or against a wall. Easy to fix, but annoying if you get fine debris clogging it all the time.

The other good one, that's virtually bomb proof but can be a picky eater ( hates twigs) is the Kreepy Krauly. They are so simple in design that there's virtually nothing that can go wrong with them and they work pretty well.

Answer 2

I've used the dolphin and it works very well.  good for sand, and small stuff, not so much big leaves and what not, but thats what a skimmer net is for.
