Having still not decided on a cleaner, I thought I might revisit this thread.

OK, after reading everything I can find here on robotic cleaners, I am honestly quite nervous about buying any of them. The problem is that I talked them up so much trying to convince my DH that we needed one, that he now thinks we need one. Who knew?
I have found this comparison chart, and it does mention the Prowlers on the very bottom:

Do I really need something that cleans the walls, or is it relatively easy to just scrub the walls and have a bottom only robot? That one thread with the scrubbing, bike riding noodle thing, sounds quite interesting.
I'm tempted to just get a Pool Rover Plus. They're relatively inexpensive, work quickly, and will satisfy the need we now have for a robot. We will have a free form, gunite, 32 X 18 and 14, kind of kidney shaped, pool with no ladders.

Is there any reason why a Pool Rover Plus would not be a wise choice?
