I did my homework & I acquired a Polaris 9300. It is now in the midst of it's second pool cleaning.
My pool is fairly large (28k gallons or so) & odd shaped with steps and sitting shelfs.
In the past I did not want a cleaner that hooked up to the filter system as I figured the hastle of getting the prime going & cleanup would not save me much effort since the vacuuming itself was no big deal once everything was setup and running.
So when I got a pool catalog & saw that the new ones were electric, did not hook up to the filter system, & had many models available under $ 1K I got interested.
It is actually quite amazing to see this guy scoot around the pool, climb walls, climb steps, and do tile brushing. The first time I used him it was not as good a job as I would have done manually, but it did do 90 to 95% pool coverage & even got some of my steps & shelves plus any tile brushing was a bonus. I figure running this guy twice a week will leave me with an overall cleaner pool & should not be a problem to get 100% pool coverage. So far so good.
Anyways, I am curious if anybody out there has experience with this or other models in a similiar price range.
