4.0 out of 5 stars works great but needs maintenance, August 21, 2010

This pool robot works great cleaning the pool. For the first two years I had it no problems. After about two years I have had some maintenance problems with it. I had to take the cover off and reconnect the tube inside the robot. The tube just pulled off and I pushed it back on and put the clamp back on. The second problem was that I had to adjust the gear drives on teh wheels. The wheels got a little loose and one wheel wasn't moving. It was pretty simple. Take the cover off, loosen the two screws on the gear, push it back 1/8 inch and tighted the screws back up. Also, the mesh bag has to be replaced about every 18 months.

Oh where do I begin??? This Pentair Legend Platinum cleaner makes me CRAZY! First off, (#1)the thing will not clean my deep end. The hose is long enough, but it never seems to make it down there and stay long enough to clean up anything. We have adjusted the pressure, and the direction of the jets, to no avail.
#2)The little bugger gets so wrapped up in its hose that we find it tied up in knots almost daily.
#3) Like one other user posted, the hose gets caught up in the cleaner and wedged into between itself and the front wheel all the time.
#4) When it DOES pick up something into its bag, you can't get the unit out of the water to take the bag off without loosing most of the bags contents back into the pool from the bottom side. The rubber flapper inside doesn't keep anything in the bag. SO once the unit stops running, the contents simply dumps back out into the water.
#5) Assuming you have anything left in the bag to dump, the velcro at the top of the bag refuses to stay closed so that you can place it back in the water secured.

We've only had our pool since Aug 09, so we haven't looked around at replacing the Pentair, but I believe we've given it enough "time" to pass a valid judgment on it...it's failed miserably! We will be looking at other units very soon. God luck to you!
