First, know that I have cleaned my pool manually the last ~10 years (Kreepy before that).
Thought I'd give my quick thoughts on the Seauto Crab cordless pool cleaner. Overall for the price I paid it gets a 2 thumbs up. It arrived partially charged. Once charged, it cleaned for 2 hours and 10 minutes. The unit returned to its original spot once cleaning ended. Cleaning the unit was simple and easy. Instruction book was clear. I won't be using the app that only lets you switch between modes: 'all-cover', 'wall-only', and 'floor-only'. 'all-cover' mode is fine with me. Many users reported an app forced update had bricked their cleaner. The manual does state maximum chlorine of 4 ppm. Seems odd. Mine was at 5 this morning, so we shall see. The pool was cleaned as well as a kreepy would have done it. Not perfect, but presentable. The current price on Amazon is $919.99, I bought on Lightning Deal for $399.99. I wouldn't pay $1k for any pool cleaner. End of cleaning cycle, it moved ~5 feet to its starting position before stopping and the status light turning to red. I will post a longer cleaning video tomorrow. If you should have question, please ask.

Great review, Thanks!! Looking forward to the video and your long term take on it when the time comes. It's very encouraging to hear about the 2-hr run time.

WRT the "max 4ppm FC", I'll posit a guess that a TFPC run pool with FC buffered properly by CYA will not be a problem!

When this is achieved, with acceptable total cycles and battery degradation, or low replacement cost, I'm willing to go AU$800 for a rechargeable robot. Amazon here has them at AU$1040. (around $700)
