Rover Plus versus Phantom

and to never step on them for fear of damagine the liner.

It won't damage the liner. The only rolling/moving part are the 4-rubber wheels. The PRP does not skim or skirt across the liner. I feel very safe with it not ripping my liner.

I have a PRP as well, starting 2nd season (in a month or so - yeah solar). Sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't. It does a really good job at picking up stuff, even tons and tons of leaves. It doesn't do straight walls (though it will climb the side inclines in a vinyl IG like mine). When I bought mine last year, I didn't see the Aquajet, otherwise I might have gone for that.

The only time I don't like it is when I am brushing the walls and floor once a week or so. Even with good numbers, the liner can get slightly slick. Of course, being a gadget freak, the Wall Whale helps with that! Also, the cord can get really tangled, especially if you run it twice in a row (even if you reverse the wheels so it turns in opposite directions) - the cord untangler either doesn't work for me or I'm too dense to use it correctly.

Finally, (and this is really piling on), the PRP and PoolBuster make a great combo!! I use the PB most of the time and throw the PRP in once or twice a week. (Actually, my wife does the PB, she likes doing that, but she won't touch the PRP).
