This new Polaris 280 is replacing a twelve year old Polaris 380 which I rebuilt once three years ago. So far the new Polaris 280 is working well. It vacuums well and seems to avoid getting stuck or hung up on the steps and love seat. Installation was rather straight forward and I followed the directions for adjusting the hose length to fit my pool.
I plan to update this review in 6 or 8 months.

Merrily we roll along…
Arrived within a day of my order. Plug and play with clear directions. Follow them and it all fits together nicely. Inserted it into the wall mount, turned it on, measured the wheel rotation and let it roll. Within 15 min the new Polaris had the pool cleaned. It’s been years since we had a sweep that worked this well. Pricey but, amortized over the new few years, it’s worth it.
