Not for me
I love iRobot (have a Roomba and a Scooba), and was excited to get the Verro. But I didn't see how I could realistically live with a device that I would have to drop in and pull out from the pool with every use, as compared to a skimmer line-driven device. Then there's removing the bag and washing it. Although I would not have to clean my pump filter as often, it just seemed like I'd be spending a lot more time on the pool than with a traditional pump-driven robot on my skimmer line. I do appreciate that the Verro likely cleans my pool better, and puts less wear on my pump. But I can't quite justify the cost when there's the additional time required.

Just Aweful
Would definitely not reccomend this product. It never covers the entire pool and tends to go to deep end. To redirect it, you have to pull the cord and try to make go in a different direction. It is horrible on fine dirt. Basically all it does is pick up leaves at the bottom of the pool and it never once went up the stairs in the pool. The one we got, went dead after 2mths of use, so now we are faced with a nearly $700.00 dinosaur. Not sure how to go about getting it replaced. Think next summer we will just switch to system reccomended by our pool guy. He likes the Polauris system. We didn't choose it, because we were worried about overworking the pool filter, but this thing was a disaster. Anything would be better.

overall - good device
I've been using this robot about 2 weeks now and I am quite pleased with it. In general it does a good job, it collects most of the leaves from the bottom of my pool and climb over most of it's walls. Where it fails to clean is the round areas at the extreme of the pool, so I have to brush it and make sure the dirt goes to the path that the robot cleans.
Is it perfect ? no
Is it worth the money - yes.
You still need some manual work with it, but it cuts the amount of work you do by 80%-90%.
