    Good vacuum but the cord gets tangled too easy. 

    Business response:

    Thank you for your review, James!. We’re sorry your cable is consistently tangling. We don’t want to inundate you with too many suggestions, but have some tips to improve the cord tangling issue: 1) Remove the cleaner from the pool and lay the cable across the pool deck to relieve coiled memory 2) Allow the cleaner cable to enter the pool at the center of the length of the pool 3) Only use enough cable to reach the farthest point from the cable entry location 4) Gently toss the necessary cable across the pool water for ev... read more

    The robotic cleaner plastic "lid" isn't very sturdy and it does not clean around my entire pool. It repeats in many of the same places. Very bummed that for the price, the results are sub-par. 

    Business response:

    Hi Raina, We are sorry to hear your EPIC 8640 isn’t living up to your expectations. Would you mind helping us better understand what you mean by the lid not being sturdy? Does it not latch easily? Any additional details you could provide us would be greatly appreciated. As far as pool coverage, typically a new cleaner does more of a random pattern while it learns your pool. This might be why you see it repeatedly clean in the same places. We appreciate your review and will take all your comments and additional detail... read more

    Slow picking up leaves … have to run 2 cycles to get all of them

    I've had the cleaner for only 2 months and had to take it into service already for a new charging cord and drive. Not a good experience. Also, apparently these parts take over a week to get -- so I'm without the ability to clean my pool for two weeks. 

    Business response:

    We're very sorry to hear about the need for service and replacement parts when your cleaner is so new. We hope the local dealer you're working with is helpful and your cleaner will be back in service soon. From your Polaris Team

    I've emailed about this and was just told that sometimes this happens and to contact warranty support for a diagnosis. No real concern for the fact that their product clearly isn't working right. Why should a brand new item need a diagnosis? It's been doing this since day 1. I have had this item for about 2 months. It can't climb walls well (was told maybe the walls are slippery from algae; first no algae, but also isn't it supposed to clean that right?), it flips on its back even in the shallow end. When extracting it from ... read more

    Doesn't pick up fine debris particles as good as my 10 year old dolphin. Doesn't clean the whole pool in 1 cycle. Misses sections.
