Aqua Products ABT Aquabot Turbo In-Ground Robotic Pool Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The good:
Every time I drop the Aquabot in, it comes out with stuff in the filter - so it is doing what its suposed to!I missed the start of the season - with some big leaves and lots of smaller stuff, so I do not know how it handles this stuff yet.So for now it is simple upkeep.

The bad:
First time I dropped it in it got stuck on the ladder.I have to admit that I dropped it in the shallow end parallel to the end wall - so it headed straight for the ladder.No big deal for me - I can take the ladder out in less than a minute.

The ugly:
The "random" path is really a way of saying that the Aquabot has no clue what it is up to - or where it is.My guess is that some advertising wonderboy turned "robot has no way of navigating" into "random path covers entire pools".Bottom line:
I live in the NE - so I cover the pool at night to keep the heat in.Stuff still gets in - enough that I could spend an hour a day vacuuming.So this little fella saves me time that I do not have.I think that for those who live where they do not need to cover the pool, this is an even better investment.I paid $800 incl delivery, so shop around.I got the Turbo rather than the regular for a couple of reasons, one being the timer.

Product Description:
The Aquabot Turbo utilizes state-of-the-art microprocessor technology in cooperation with a multitude of sensors to completely clean pools as large as 50 feet long, regardless of their surface type, in four hours or less. Aquabot Turbo offers you the convenience of complete pool cleaning climbs at 90 degree inclines from floor to waterline and everywhere in between, including most stairs and benches. Aquabot Turbo can cut your total pool maintenance bills (chlorine, electricity, water, etc.) by up to 50%. Having its own built-in motors and filtration system, Aquabot Turbo operates completely independently of the pool's filtration system, eliminating the need for sloppy, tangling hoses and costly-to-operate booster pumps, as well as decreasing pool filter usage and wear up to 60%. Simply plug it in, drop it in, and press a button.
Features:
* Scrubbing Action: Aquabot Turbo's front and rear rotating scrubbing brushes loosen and remove heavy dirt and fine particles from floor, walls, and waterline to be vacuumed and trapped in its own internal microfilter bag.
* Vacuuming: Aquabot Turbo's exceptionally high suction power and large vacuum intake ports enable it to easily vacuum up all types of dirt and debris.
*Built-in Filtration System: Aquabot Turbo will clean and purify thousands of gallons of water per hour. Aquabot Turbo is equipped with an expansive, reusable microfilter bag that has the capacity to hold many leaves and twigs and is capable of filtering out all types of fine particles including sand, silt, algae, and bacteria. The filter bag is easily removed and rinsed clean.
* Better Chemical Distribution: As a result of Aquabot Turbo's heavy-duty pumping action, the pool's bottom and surface water are circulated, raising the overall water temperature, which reduces heating costs and creates a more even distribution of chemicals that normally settle to the pool floor.
* Low Maintenance: Constructed of corrosion-proof materials, with fewer than 10 moving parts, Aquabot Turbo requires little or no maintenance.
* Free Educational DVD: Every Aquabot Turbo comes complete with a DVD to show you how pool cleaning can be accomplished at the touch of a button.
