I'm currently research inground robotic cleaners and decided to post this to help everyone in my shoes. I've intentionally left out commercial units and the new cordless battery units as they have $3000 or more price tags. Some of these listed have remote controls, some dont, and I'm sure I've left out some specs that others might find important, but hey.....it's a start and I'll update this if anyone has any input. If I missed a brand or made a goof, please post!
