Hi Everyone - I recently posted a thread seeking input on corded vs cordless robot cleaners. Now I am seeking specific recommendations on a cordless robot. Here is what I have:

26000 gallon inground pool with a very irregular shape (roughly kidney - about 42’ long and about 22’ wide at the widest.)

Pool has steps at one end, as well as a small shelf (around 2’ x 4.5 ‘ and 16 inches deep) for sitting

I have a Betta SE Plus surface skimmer bot that is always in the pool

I have a Poolblaster Max vacuum for spot cleaning

I want to replace my Dolphin Nautilus CC plus corded robot cleaners- I don’t like dealing with the cord/extension cord, etc

I am looking for a cordless robot that can handle the irregular shape; clean as efficiently as my Nautilus; focus on floor, walls, and waterline (eg I don’t need surface skimming since I have that covered); and be used about once a week. My budget is $1200 max.

For those that own a cordless robot used on a pool with irregular shape, tell me what you recommend. To be clear, I did receive some input on my last post - so if you already commented, thanks. Here I am trying to focus solely on those that have cordless robots for an irregular pool and like them.

Hi everyone - I’m new here. I have a house on the Sheepscot River in Midcoast Maine. The house is on the water - we have a floating dock and a large wall of windows overlooking the water. It is a marine environment with a fair amount of wildlife - eagles, ospreys, herons, seals, cormorants, porpoises - as well as lobstering - lobster buoys and lobster boats harvesting, and sail boats. For wildlife the best times are early morning or dusk - lower light level periods. We currently have an old pair of Nikon Monarch M511 binoculars - 8 X 42. They work pretty well, and we use them both outside, and inside through the windows - but I’ve been thinking about buying a new pair of binoculars. I really don’t want to spend more than $750. For that budget, and my viewing parameters, what would people recommend? Is there anything for that budget that would be an upgrade to my existing Nikons?

Hi everyone,

I have a home in Midcoast Maine. We are on the water and surrounded by about 30 acres of woods. My neighbor came over on his boat last night (I have a dock but no boat) and I was using my large mag light to guide him in as my dock doesn’t have lights. I realized it was pretty pathetic. He showed me his pistol grip spotlight that was awesome - but he told me he paid $275 for it. I want something similar - powerful, rugged, intense beam, and rechargeable. I may use it near the water so waterproof would be good, but I would probably use it more around the property at night for security (so not used excessively but want it reliable when I need it). However I don’t want to spend more than around $80. I saw a brand called Coast that had one around that price or a little less. For my needs, what would you experienced folks recommend?
