    Well after reading some of the problems people have had with their Dolphins and the crap service from the company, plus the observation of mine today - tomorrow it is going back to Costco. I find that if I just let it go it periodically gets stuck going back and forth in the same 10' straight area. The only fix is to shut the power off to reset it. This is not acceptable for a $1,000+ appliance.

    [QUOTE=brent.roberts;10469]Got a new Dolphin Dynamic yesterday. I was very impressed with it's first run. After 2 hours it had essentially picked up everything off the bottom and most important to me, looks like it will save or delay the expense of a new vinyl liner.
    We we got this home a couple years ago the liner was already badly wrinkled and I expected this spring to need a new one. The Polaris ATV got hung up and broke gears inside. The Barracude and another similar impule cleaner hung up too.

    This is an old thread buy I wanted to go on the record as having yet another tale of disappointment.

    I started steering poorly, then wouldn't go. Emails and calls to Maytronics got me nowhere. I cut off the floating cord ( don't know what I had in mind to use it for ) and trashed the whole thing.

    A lot of money for about 2 seasons of auto-cleaning.

    I'd love to find a good replacement.
    16x32 vinyl; SWCG, DE filter, Intelliflo pump,
    solar heat ( to over 90 deg for the wife)
