Il s’agissait de remplacer le même robot qui âgé de 14 ans ne fonctionnait plus .

I was thinking of buying a Robotic one and I am happy I didn't. The thing that threw it over for me was that the Polaris 380 is kept in the pool. The Robotic should be taken out. If not you have an electrical cord running over your deck. I have dogs so that wasn't an option. Where do you store it when it is out? From what I read on other posts it was 3 or 4 years before you had to repair it. I replaced my 380 with a new one and it keeps my pool sparkling clean. Walls, stairs and everything. My old one lasted around 20 years. They are pretty much bullet proof.

I read the bad reviews but gave the 380 a try anyway since I had a Polaris 180 for years and it worked great until it died of old age. The new 380 was basically the same as the 180 but with some "upgrades" like belt drive, click on bag and updated look. Click on bag was a fail, it always falls off. In the 1 week I tried this model the bag always fell off, every time. And this 380 always sprayed water everywhere even though I had the RPMs and tail pressure set. My old 180 did not do this. This 380 would get stuck on a step and just spray all over the yard. Add to this the wheel hubcap falling off a few times and overall this 380 was a fail and waste of time....I returned it and got the new Polaris Quattro from a local Leslies store and so far that is working great.
