Crab Robotic Pool Vacuum, Wall-Climbing Robot, Automatic Pool Cleaner, Suitable for Walls and Floors of 1614 Square Feet Pool , Black/Grey

Edit: I dropped my rating from 5 star to 1 because the robot stopped wall climbing after 2 weeks and customer service is so frustrating. In short, the Seauto customer support would tell me redundant advice like, “turn it off then on” or “put it in wall mode”. Shame as it started off working great. The robot will climb the wall once, then go back down and only do floor mode. So seems like a firmware problem, but I don’t think there is a possibility to update the firmware. I’m now returning it. Shortly after the contact piece on the male charging jack broke off. Again, all of this in 2 weeks. Customer service asked me many redundant question s, asked for videos, then replied “ We will report this issue to theR&D team to see what the problem is and reply to you when there is the latest. Thank you for your feedback”. My original review is below.———First impression is the device is solidly built. Appears to be strong plastic and well put together. The small exception might be the basket latch which feels slightly flimsy.The runs are averaging about 2 hours. The device really gets out of the water and scrubs the scum line exceptionally well. I have a large pool and am running it 4 times a week.There is an APP you can download called Unlock Seauto which gives you basic settings, like the option for wall mode, floor mode or both. It set up easily via Bluetooth. I did not even see this mentioned when I purchased it, but in any case a nice bonus.Occasionally the robot will pause its location on a strange part of the pool, like the stairs or corner, but shortly after will move itself on without trouble. Even in slow mode (slow or fast can be selected in app) it looks to be traveling too fast along the bottom, and as a result occasionally missing dirt it just went over. Perhaps an simple firmware upgrade will resolve this in the future.Parts appear modular so hoping they will be easy to replace when the time comes. I took the battery out once as I was traveling home with it by air and it was easy.I must be removing a lot of small debris as well because the pool water is looking clearer. Really impressed.Cannot speak of longevity as the unit is new, but so far very happy.

This is a great robot! I drop it in the pool between cleanings when there is debris in the pool and before events. It does its thing pretty well and the catch basket is easy to clean out when done. No tubes to mess with. Clean and easy.

Here is my 5 month update. The charging cable broke. The charging cord corroded when plugged into the vacuum. When I pulled the charger off the vacuum, it pulled the plug right apart. You really need to be putting dielectric grease on it. It's so important they should ship it to you with the product.Should be an easy fix.. it's just the charging cable. However the company is totally and completely unresponsive. The phone number listed gets a busy signal all day ever day. They have a chat they don't respond too, and it's been a week since we emailed. So to recap you have a fundamental design flaw and no product support. Do not buy!Here is my legacy review, such a shame it broke. This is absolutely the best vacuum I've ever purchased. My pool has a 7.5 ft deep end with lots of curves.I've tried a both mx-8s, and mx-6s (worked ok, not great), I've tried other cordless vacuums. All of the other cordless vacuum got one 1 star reviews and returns. Note, after my review they changed the description to say "for above ground pools".This thing has gobs of power. It's literal miniature tank. It can climb the walls no problem, and it even can run parallel to the water line and clean the tile.It's one of the most impressive machines I've ever seen. If it gets stuck it reverses the vacuum suction and fires itself into the air.The engineers really did a top notch job in the design. Those guys are freaking geniuses.

This robot cleans very well. Picks up all the small particles that a net can’t get. It climbs up the stairs and walls easily. Takes about an hour and a half to charge. It comes with a hook to retrieve it when it’s done. It’s easy to clean. The only things I don’t like about it are that it is heavy, and when I remove it from the pool some of the debris comes out of the bottom flap, so you have to remove it quickly to minimize that. Overall I am satisfied with it. It gets the job done and costs a lot less than a lot of the other robots with the features that it has. It’s strong and I feel it’s worth the price for what you get.
