 great when it works. it'll break fast though. September 12, 2008

The Robo Kleen works great *when* it works. Every time I use it or every other time I use it, I find myself having to pull it away from the wall part way through a cleaning session because it runs into the wall and stays there or climbs it's front end up the wall so that only the back wheels remain on the floor. Also several times found it had mysteriously floated up to the surface of the pool. I used the Robo-Kleen for 1 month during last year's season and 4 months during this season before the motor stopped functioning. And now it is out of the warranty period.

I purchased one RoboClean 3 years ago and it stopped working after 18 months. Theyb offerred to fix it for $140.00. I do like the way it works so I went out and bought another brand new one. That one stopped working after only 11 months. I sent it in for repairs since it is still under warranty. Product was received by Smartpool on 7-7-08. I called them on 7-14-08 to check RMA status and was told item has not been received into the warranty department yet and after they do check it in it will take 2 to 3 weeks to fix it. I was originally told they had a 5 to 7 day turn around time. I called again on 7-16-08 and I was told by Valerie that there was a note in the system that it was checked into the warrantty dept on 7-13-08 and she must have missed that the last time she spoke with me. She said they should fix it and ship it out in 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks. I called agian Today 7=23=08 and spoke to valerie again (she must be the only person in this department) she now says it was checked into the warranty department on 7-18-08 and it is probably still going to be about 2 weeks to fix it. I live in New Jersey and we have a short pool season so this product does not get much use and after spending over $500 on two Robocleans I still find myself standing on the pool deck vacuming the pool with my old vacum, RMA46480.
UPDATE: Valerie called me on 7-24-08 and told me my unit is shipping out today. It arrived on 7-28-08 and once I opened the box I relized this was not the smae unit. The one that they sent back to me was old and worn with many broken peices. When I places it in the pool it did suck the dirt off of the bottom but it blew the dirt right back out of the top. I called them and was told they do not make mistakes and that was the same unit i had sent them. I drove to there company hedquarters in Lakewood NJ on 7-29-08 after the service manager Daniel refused to return my calls. She was pleasant when I arrived and even said she would be happy to give me a brand new one, but unfortunatley they were out of stock and wouldn't have any more in until Febuary of 2009. She gave me what she said was a refurb even though my unit only had 4 mounths of use and I took it because I really just wanted something that would clean my pool. When I opened the box, I saw that
this was not a refurb but some old unit that was in for rerairs and never picked up. I took the original unit back ( they gave me a new bag for it and that didn't help) and now I'm going to have to sue them in small claims court.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

I purchased this upon the recommendation of the Leslie's pool employee. It worked well for ~ 2 weeks, whereupon it just stopped. I returned it to the manufacturer and they sent a replacement. The replacement lasted all of three months before it too died. The motor just quit and the power box burned and melted the plug. The manufacturer would not replace it again.
I replaced this last one with the cheaper "bug"-type and it is working perfectly a year later.
Save yourself time & money and forego this piece of junk.
