I realize we are in the slow time of year, but I was still hoping to get some feedback (my pool needs vacuuming again and doing it manually is a pain and time consuming). Given that parts for my Viper are getting harder to find and tend to be expensive, I decided to go ahead and get a new cleaner. Last night I ordered a Polaris 280 (should be here tomorrow) based on the mostly good reviews compared to others and it seems parts are readily available at decent prices.

Wish me luck.
