I bought a Navigagtor after owning 2 Baracudas. I should have stayed with the Baracuda. I have had nothing but problems. It is always getting stuck by the stairs or ladder or on a wall or in the deep end or just stuck in place. I have had it worked on by a professional pool service company (who sold it to me) and they've never been able to make it work properly for longer than a month. I have given up on it. I'll never buy another Hayward product. This has been too frustrating.

Don't worry, buy Aquabot by: Curt
Aquabot Turbo or Tempo are fast and relatively cheap. I think they offer the most for the money.
Parts are readily available and with proper care you won't need any parts for years.
If you need repair and don't want to do it yourself, many swimming pool stores have on-site repair for your Aquabot.
Dolphin pool cleaners by Maytronics are also good machines.You can't get many replacement parts and if there is a problem with the motors, the robot MUST be sent out for repair. This could take many weeks.
