Robotic cleaner for IG with steps, benches & Spa

[Ccryder5]

Good evening folks!
I’m getting ready to purchase my first pool cleaner for our newly completed IG gunite pool....and wondering if anyone is using a robotic (Dolphin) on a IG pool with built in benches, steps, spa, etc?
Will a robotic actually climb onto these surfaces too?
or should I just be looking for a decent suction cleaner...
Thanks in advance!

5,

Please let us know if you find a "Decent" suction cleaner...

Robots can end up on benches, but I doubt they clean them well, if at all. Just sweep the benches and steps into the pool and let the dolphin do the rest.

Thanks,

Jim R.

My Dolphin will climb about 2.5 steps until the water intake is above the water line and then quits and goes down again. We just brush the stairs now and then. Call in orders to Marina Pools will get you this one for $699. free shipping

Just pulled the trigger on my robot. Margaret at Marina Pools said the Dolphin S200 has gone up to $719, so she steered me to the Pentair Warrior SE, same thing, for $699. Be here (and in the pool) Monday!

Agree with others. We have steps and benches and the robot won't climb them. Just brush them into the main part of the pool and the robot/filter will clean it up.
