Robo-Kleen by Dolphin. Does it break?

[Aranon]

I just purchased a Dolphin Robo-Kleen and waiting for it to arrive. But since I ordered it I noticed on E-opinions that 3 or 4 people say they broke right after they got them. Now I am wondering if I wasted my money.

Does anyone have any history on them. I understand the work beautifully when the actually work. Now I'm scared. Did I waste my money? Please someone calm my fears. Now I wonder If I should have spent more and got the pool rover. But I thought Dolphin was a good brand. Help.

Yep we had one... no make that two of them. Got home with the first one and loved it. It picked up everything and I do mean everything! But after a few days it just quit rolling. I mean we took real good care of this thing. Cleaning it, washing it out.. making sure the bag was very clean.

So we take that one back to the dealer and get another one. It starts all great and does a wonderful job. BUT after about two weeks it quits working as well. At that point I am on the phone with customer support and got no real help there. Took it back to the dealer and you could just see the tech guys rolling their eyes. Come to find out they got 30 RoboKleens in stock. Within a month they had over 20 returns! That told me enough right there.

We held off for the rest of the fall and just now ordered a Aquabot Pool Rover for just a few dollars more. It seems to have a really good name behind it. We hope this is the one that works for us!!!

So I guess I need to see about exchanging mine when it comes in I guess. Anyone else have the same problem?

Who knows? You may have great luck with that unit? I'd try it and see if you like it. Just make sure you know the return policy before you use it.

If you want to know where I got the lowest price on the Aquabot Pool Rover just let me know. They also increased the warranty to two years at no cost plus they are willing to match prices.
