Hi, folks! I recently bought this robot, and I’m really liking it. My Dolphin was getting heavier all the time, wasn’t picking up fine silt, and I may have tripped over the cord one or more times (world’s worst klutz here). I didn’t need something that would go up the walls and wasn’t looking to spend a ton of money. This particular one has a good sized basket in it and also a fine filter that can be removed when not needed. For my size pool, it works great and covers the entire floor. I haven’t found it difficult to use the hook to pull the cleaner over to me when it needs to be pulled out and recharged. The floor is staying so much cleaner, and since there’s no cord, it doesn’t interfere with the Betta’s operation.
