NITRO WALL SCRUBBER - BY SMARTPOOL Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a Smartpool Nitro Wall Scrubber to replace a broken Dolphin unit. It is a great little robot with some nice features and only a few minor issues. Note that there are 3 products in the Nitro line: the Cleaner, the Wall Climber, and the Wall Scrubber. The Wall Scrubber (this product) appears to be the latest addition to their product family, with the most features.
First, the good:
1. Price - much less than the similarly-functioned robots I've seen elsewhere.
2. Thoroughness - It does a fantastic job of cleaning the entire pool, stairs and water-line included. The dolphin did a good job on the pool floor and the water-line, but it never got up on the stairs, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the Wall Scrubber up there. It didn't get the top step, mind you, but the bottom 2 steps were vacuumed.
3. Speed - it's much faster than I remember the Dolphin being, and normally gets the job done in about an hour for our 20'x30' pool. I think this is due to the way the Wall Scrubber's tracks work - in addition to movement, the tracks kick debris directly into the front- and back-filter intakes, so one pass is usually all that's needed for a complete clean.
4. Convenience - removing the filter in the Wall Scrubber is a cinch! There are two little latches that are quite easy to depress, and the filter unit lifts out of the body. Again, comparing this to the Dolphin, I MUCH prefer the Wall Scrubber. The Dolphin's latches were klunky and became stuck regularly, and the filter bag needed to be held in place with some little brackets.
5. Weight - nothing much to say here except that the unit is pretty light.
6. DIY repair. I haven't yet had to take advantage of this (I've only had the Wall Scrubber for 2 months), but if the robot does break down, it's good to know that all the parts that I might need are available from Smartpool. When my Dolphin broke down, I made the decision to junk the unit instead of sending it off for an expensive repair.
Now for some minor issues:
1. It seems to have some trouble with smaller rocks. Leaves, twigs, dirt and debris are all sucked up with no issues, but I do occasionally find some pebbles that the unit didn't get.
2. Leakage on removal - one of the features I was REALLY looking forward to was the forward drainage port. While the port works well, the filter's intake doors (front- and rear-) invariably get blocked open by a twig or something, and smaller debris always escapes when I remove the unit from the pool. I wish the springs holding the doors closed were a bit stronger.
3. No power-line swivel - the robot works well, as detailed above, but coiling the cable is tricky because it gets twisted during use, and must be unwound. The power-line IS kink-resistant, true - but it still gets pretty twisted.
4. NO CADDY. This was a little bit of a surprise for me, because their other Nitro's come with a "free" Caddy. Not so with the Wall Scrubber. I assume this is a cost-savings measure, but it's still a chore to have to carry the robot, with its cord and the power unit, back and forth from my storage area.
So, overall, I'm happy with the Wall Scrubber, and am glad we bought it. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good, user-maintainable, robot without 2G's to burn on a remote control system.

(More customer reviews)I Have owned more expensive units costing 1000-1400. I took my chance on this one. At first the unit would not climb, then it just stopped working. I must say at first I was disappointed, so I returned it to the Manufacturer for a replacement. The new one worked fantastic! It climbs walls doesn't scrub the water line but will clean up to it. That is not a problem for me, as non of the other models did a great at this. It does a great job on the bottom and cleans the deep end as well as the shallow end. Will not climb stairs, but don't get hung up on that, none of the previous models did a good job at that either.
The unit is able to go up the steep grade in my pool were other models I have owned would fall back down to the deep end. In addition, it has a great feature: if it senses that it is stuck- like on the pickup drains on the bottom, it will pop a wheely and navigate out of its stuck position. The more expensive units I had owned would get stuck and I would have to pull them off the main suction drain.
The unit is light and easy to pickup out of the water. The filter design is very easy to remove and clean and a breeze to put back on. I found that the Dolphin was the most difficult and the hayward cartridge design was not as effective as the bag type.
Another plus is the entire unit is modular: meaning that you can buy a replacement motor or brush and replace them yourself. Once it goes out of warranty this feature will be a benifit.
I would recommend this unit to anyone that is looking for the best bang for the buck. plus it comes with a Caddy...
Buy It!
