Customer Reviews of iRobot Verro 600 Pool-Cleaning Robot

Great technology, poor build quality
I bought this directly from irobot and ran it every 3 or 4 days for about 3 weeks before returning it to irobot. The technology is great and when the filter bag didn't fall out, the pool was incredibly clean - it really does sparkle, I was able to cut back on the number of hours the filter ran, and I noticed that I had to add less chemicals. The amount of slime that collects in the filter bag from an apparently clean pool is proof of how much it's picking up. My pool never looked so nice and I only had to drop it in, go have dinner, come back and put it away. <

>Unfortunately, the build quality from irobot is poor. The tabs that hold the filter bag in place are too loose and the filter often falls out when you lift the robot out of the water - dumping everything back in. The plastic protective cage between the filter and the motor has the same problem. <

>After some web research, I discovered that irobot licenses this technology from Aquabot. I returned this to irobot, and purchased an Aquabot T2 which I found for about the same price after shopping around. The T2 is nearly the same robot, but appears to have a much better build quality and a few enhancements over the irobot model (for instance the scrubbing pads don't soak up water like the irobot's causing it to smell funky between cleanings). In addition, my local pool store is an Aquabot repair shop, so I won't be shipping it out if something goes wrong and I need it fixed under warranty. <

>I really wanted to like irobot's version - I like some of their other products and this simply looked friendlier (we dubbed it scrubby). Unfortunately, for this cost, I wanted three or more years of trouble-free use out of it, and I didn't see that happening.

Pretty good in clearing the bottom of my pool
I purchased this robot after my water powered cleaner couldn't do the trick of clarifying my water. <
>My first impression is positive, as it cleared 80% of the dirt. <
>The only drawback is probably it's steep cost.

Disappointing High Tech
The robot looked promosing at first. It certainly made its rounds in the pool. After taking it out an hour and a half later I noticed the bottom popped out at some time. It collected some of the sand and minor particles, but left the majority in the pool. We tried it 6 times with the same results.
