So you have used this tank cleaner for about a year before you made the review? That’s my biggest concerns is the long term use of one of these expensive robots. And it holds up ok in a salt pool it sounds?
Sort of.... I had the Tank X11, which is the same model just with a larger battery. When we built the pool in the video I was without a pool so the X11 went to my parents pool. It's been chugging away in there pool ever since. Now that the new pool is done I got the C1. My new pool is a salt pool, so far no issues but I've only had it in the salt pool for a few months now. I do spray it down with fresh water when I take it out, not sure if it's necessary with the salt pool but I do it anyway.
Just to share my experience. I service a pool cleaning robot and I got one of those yellow Tank X11. The owner only used it a few times, water got into it and damaged the engine and batteries. In my opinion, the housing of the robot is very poorly made.
Still working good ? Not much out there on long term durability. Thanks for the thorough review.
Yup, it's actually in my parents pool full time now. We put in an inground here last summer and I picked up the smaller Smorobot for my pool.
Battery is toast at two years old :(
@@dansutube100 Glad I bought the extended warranty !!!!
