I'm sorry that you're having so many problems with the 380--mine lasted 5 seasons with the only replacements being a drive belt and one backup valve. It needed new wheels when I took it out of the water, but that's because it lives in my pool year-round and my chlorine levels have been quite high at times. I recently replaced it with a new unit instead of overhauling it, but got it for half price by sending the old one back. My new one is working fine.

I don't know of any other cleaner that uses the same pump, but will be interested in any other replies that you get.
