- Sold on Amazon - Not sold by Poolbots, so no 30-day in-pool trial or Poolbots support

- 2-Year Warranty - The Dolphin Premier and Sigma carry 3 years
Liberty 200
- No Waterline Cleaning - Won't clean the dirtest part of your pool
- Cordless Model - Decent solution if no power near pool, but fails in other areas
- Short Batterly Life - Must be recharged after every 1.5hr cycle
