Isn't that about what a cart filter will filter too, ~20 microns? From what I've read here people seem to quote performance more inline with DE filters, ~6 to 10 microns.

It is a filter bag that all the water and debris is pushed through.

i see that there are many many robotic cleaners out there.

the dolphin, blue pearl, aquabot etc. How does one sort through all the options?

I think "almost" everything being equal on performance of like type robotics, price is the tie breaker.

I'll only add availability to the criteria. I ended up getting my Aquabot because the pool store had it in stock and I wasn't going home without SOMETHING! (And I no longer by 'chemicals' from them)

Yep, theres that too. I have to pinch myself to stop from buying just so I don't go home emptyhanded - patience is not my long suit - wish I could order online to a direct portal into my house. lol. My DH would KILL me.
