Purchased a robo-tek rover cordless for $3260 after reading the reviews on here and wanting to avoid the cord. I previously owned a Hayward Tiger Shark at a previous property. Our pool here is fully tiled and recently installed.
I agree with the previous poster's comments. The Tiger Shark, which was significantly cheaper, cleaned the pool better at the expense of dealing with the cord. I have tried 3 cycles of the cleaner now (having to charge the battery each time as it run out of charge) and the robot-tek is still leaving behind considerable ...Read more

Does a reasonable job.
The remote is handy.

But consider other options. I wonder if most 5 star reviews are by first time robot owners.

Points against:
- It is significantly bigger and bulkier.
- the manual is pretty half hearted
- the process to empty the bag/filter is annoying - it’s a fiddly process to clean the debris out of the bag, and getting it back into the unit is a frustrating exercise.
- wall and steps cleaning doesn’t seem as good as prior robot...Read more

Not often a product is universally lauded but you cannot fault the cleaning power of the Robo plus

1. On your next “one pager “ simply add the information that to get device to sink squeeze and keep squeezing the foam rollers .. took a call to place of purchase to get this invaluable snippet
2. The caddy purchased was horribly out of alignment so much so that a nut could not tighten on the 4th screw. Took back to shop which is an annoyance as was on other side of town. On opening two more caddies they were found to have the same issues. Luck...Read more

I have had the Robo-Tek Robo-Plus for about three months. It is the second robotic cleaner I have bought. It is far superior to the previous cleaner.
The pre-purchase discussions with Steve at Robo-Tek and and the demonstration with John Guy (Cranbourne Pool and Spa) made it an easy decision to purchase.
It does an excellent job of cleaning the pool and climbs the concrete walls with ease. It moves rapidly around the pool and does an excellent job of picking up debris. The powerful motor ensures the pool is thoroughly circulated. As a result...Read more

I was hesitant to buy a robotic pool cleaner. I had read some bad reviews and heard about poor experiences from some of the leading brands. However, I'd had enough of manual cleaning and was sick of chiselled 'pool guys' flirting with the misses. After looking around I choose the Robo-Tek Robo-Plus. Well, I haven't been disappointed.

First, this product was super easy to setup. A couple of bolts on the caddy, plug it in and throw it in the pool. On its first mission, I let it loose in a reasonably clean pool. After an hour it had got all the...Read more

I have an Albatross in ground vinyl lined pool and had been using a Kreppy Krawly since 1994. The pool was always work to keep clean and sand filter struggled to keep pool clean.

The Robo=plus is fantastic and it allows the pump to skim and filter the water without struggling to run the Kreppy which never really let the skimmer work correctly. Anyways all that is gone now the pool has looked almost as good as new and way better then it has in years.

Some point note:
1. A manual in the box would be good.
2. Anyone using this th...Read more

Today we purchased the Robo-Tek Robo Plus and gave it a test run in the pool. After only being in the pool for 30 minutes, it did a much better job than the previous robotic pool cleaner brand that we had for 5 years. The machine is a lot quicker and picked up a lot more leaves. We used to have issues with our previous pool cleaner as it struggled to pick up large piles of leaves that were grouped together on the bottom of the pool, but not the Robo-Tek Robo Plus, it ate them all up. I don't think we will need to empty the filters as often eith...Read more

After using a suction hose for years we finally made the change and purchased a Robo-Plus. It was the best move ever. We've had ours now for almost 10 years and it has been terrific. Only recently I had an issue with the drive belts. After all this time one of them broke. I contacted Steve Scown, the owner, and he was back to me in a flash. Before to long he had replaced the drive belts, free of charge. He explained that a better quality belt was being made and he was sending them to me. The quality of the others wasn't too bad as they'd surviv...Read more

I inherited a suction side pool cleaner with my in-ground fibreglass pool along with purchase of a home. Unhappy with the time to set up and pack away (I know why poeple just leave them in the pool), operation and cost of tune up kits and replacement parts I have been looking widely for a few years now at "automatic" pool cleaners. Lots of expectation with no guarantee, and reading review after review from unhappy customers of expensive hi-profile brand name units simply does not inspire spending. I then found Robo-Tek on line by sheer accident...Read more

I was very, very skeptical of purchasing this so did my thorough research . Having spent a small fortune on pool cleaners over the past 10 years, the last thing i wanted was to spend a considerable amount of money to get the same poor results. The fact it does not go through your filter system was a bonus for me; you know the constant stopping and starting to get the creepy crawly moving in the same area and in circles!!!!!!

I was not disappointed. This robust "machine" does exactly what is stated. It has grunt, and cleans the pool like nothin...Read more
