What's a good pool robot vacuum?

[Shane]

I have a Betta robot skimmer. I need a robot vacuum. We have several trees, so leaves will be an issue. We have LOADS of grasshoppers right now, so that's definitely more than our in-floor cleaning jet system can keep up with. I need a robot vacuum that can handle big stuff. Cordless would be nice, but I'd rather have a cord than a cordless model that can't get the job done. Pool isn't huge.

What do y'all recommend?

We purchased an Ofuzzi Cyber cleaner and so far so good.

It was $189.00.

I have purchased a few expensive cleaners and over paid for every one that I have bought.

I hate pool cleaners!

I've never understood the robot pool vacuums. Why do you want to deal with charging them, putting them in and out of the pool.

I like my booster pump Polaris vacum that's set on the pool pump control board to come on every day and do whats its suppose to do. All I have to do is go clean the lead bag every few days as it fills up.

We have tried them all. We started with Maytronics which makes Dolphin and the Pentair Prowler. I'm not a fan of the brand. The best robot with a cord on the market currently is the Polaris Alpha IQ+. We dumped the other brands and this is our top seller for 2 years. I have had one in my pool almost 24hrs a day for almost 2 years and it's been great. It's not cheap but it is the best robot.

Based on reading about a bunch of them and watching YouTube videos, I've kinda narrowed it down to the Polaris VRX iQ+ (I think it's the same as the Alpha iQ+, just a different color), Polaris FREEDOM Plus (similar, but cordless), and the Dolphin Explorer E70. They're all expensive, but I'd rather spend money on automation than spend time cleaning the dang pool over and over. I'm still open to other models, and I'd LOVE to spend less for something that was effective for what I need.

I run my IQ+ for a 2.5 hour cycle 7 days per week and it never leaves the pool unless someone is swimming. I see a lot less warranty calls on the Polaris robots versus the other top brands we've sold in the past. The Freedom seems to be good but hasn't been on the market long enough for me yet.

That sounds like what I need.
