Just got it and used it for the first time yesterday so this review isn't based on long-term experience; however, did a great job - climbs walls like a fiend all the way to the top and it appears the built in software does the job in "tracking" the pool - while it seems to roam around in a random fashion when it turned itself off I couldn't see any areas it missed. Filters are a snap to remove and clean and don't dump crud back in the pool as do some other models. The anti-tangle swivel built into the electrical cord seems to work, no twisted cord when I removed the unit from the pool. Using the one-page quick start guide is about all one needs to get things working; however, parts of the instruction manual not so hot: First off, it's a generic manual applicable to several of Aquabot's products - for the price (not cheap) I kind of expected a manual exclusively devoted to the Elite. The first page is something about "float installation" if find totally cryptic and instructions for programming the controller box not much better. Remote not included with purchase which is kind of cheesy, albeit not sure why I'd need it. As a real nit-pick, the wheeled carrier needs simple assembly - three nuts and bolts to fasten the push handle to the carrier body. At the assembly area the aluminum tube handle assembly is an "L" shape that fits into a semi-circular depression in the body. At the last few inches of the depression the tube is too wide (or the depression too narrow) to seat the tubing making the bolt too short to seat the nut. Long way of saying my handle is attached by only two bolts, not three, but this is probably OK for moving it short distances on a flat surface. Last thing - won't do stairs, but then again I doubt any unit can. It will climb one or at times two stairs, pauses, changes its mind and retreats, but even if it made it all the way up it wouldn't do much of a job as most of the time the cleaning brushes are not making contact with the flats of the steps as the treads are on the apex of the stairs. Not a big deal - just brush the steps by hand into the pool where the unit will do its job. All in all, so far I really like this thing; nothing I hate more than vacuuming a pool, brushing down the sides, etc.

Upgraded to the Aquabot Elite after our 17-year-old Polaris cleaner finally bit the dust. This is so much better. No external pump needed. Just drop it in the water, plug it in, turn it on and it takes care of cleaning the bottom and sides of our 40-foot pool that also has a "full-L" shallow end and stairs. Unlike our Polaris, this cleaner actually spends ample time in the shallow end and cleaning the walls. We have a vinyl-lined salt-water pool. We don't usually get much algae because of the excellent salt water chlorine generating system, but we do get a lot of leaves and bugs in the pool at times. This device picks up everything and rarely misses any debris. I use the 90-minute program. Because this is fairly expensive, I'm afraid to leave it in the pool all the time, in an effort to extend its lifespan. I just put it in the pool once or twice a week and then remove it when it is finished. The fine-mesh debris-collection baskets are super easy to remove, clean and reinstall. I clean them every time I use the device. Just open them up and rinse with a hosepipe. I keep the device stored on its included rolling cart and inside our basement when not in use. The only real gripe I have is that Aquabot should sell an optional "extension cord" to add to the length of the low-voltage cord going between the power control unit and the robot itself. The included cord is plenty long, but the controller is not supposed to be exposed to extended sunlight, rain, or weather. So in order to keep the controller under cover, like under our upper deck where it won't get exposed to the elements, the cord is just not quite long enough to reach. The other gripe I have is about the Aquabot company itself. Trying to research and decide on the best cleaner for my needs using Aquabot's Web site is very difficult because the company produces so many models with varying features, and so many of them are very similar. In addition, the company produces several models that are "exclusive" to certain authorized stores and on-line dealers and they have virtually no information about these models anywhere on the Web site. I did call Pool Express Group, Inc.(the seller of this particular cleaner) to ask specific questions about this and other brands and models of robotic pool cleaners. They were very helpful in going over the features and making recommendations for me. Otherwise, this device works as expected and I am very satisfied with it so far. I can't speak for the durability of it over time, as I've only used it a few times so far. But it did come with a three-year warranty.

Would have easily given it 5 stars but for one issue. Have had the "Bot" for a week now. Just opened the pool and the bot has come in VERY handy to clean the debris which accumulated in the pool over the winter (though the pool was covered). Easy to clean, the two filter baskets pop out very easy and the entire robot is easily accessible to rinse out the debris. One caution...the filter basket pops open to clean the dirt from inside but the "hinge" (if you can call it that) is flimsy. Be careful not to open it too far or pull at that door at too much of an angle. The plastic pivot points/hinge will (and did) break. Now I am seeking a replacement filter basket and they seem to hard to find. however, the bot DOES do the job.

I've been using My Aquabot Elite for a week now. I love it, my kids got excited when they see it climbing walls and how clean the pool looks after a round of cleaning. It picked up everything, leaves, bugs, hair and upon cleaning the filter you know it had done its job because you can see the micro size debris it had picked up. Filter cleaning was a breeze, removing from unit was a one step process, so is putting it back. I almost did not purchase this model because of a few bad reviews but I can confirm that maybe, just maybe those guys probably misused it, or just had bad luck with getting one that slipped by quality control. I suspect even maybe, just maybe competition bad reviews? They can happen. Regarding one negative that a reviewer mentioned about delicate filter mechanism and the filter cover opening up during operation; just make sure you don't get rough opening the filter when cleaning and make sure that it is set properly when putting it back, a pronounced click indicates it is locked secure. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MODEL. I never have to strain myself cleaning my pool, I just love watching it go and do the work for me. The price dropped a few days after I received it and I was assured by the third party vendor that my price adjustment refund has been issued. BUY ONE, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!
