Yeah sure, learn, that dumb chunck of plastic.

What annoys me is that the instructions do not tell you what mode the thing should be in to program. Power off, hardly. Power on, maybe. Power on and in the pool, maybe.

The directions are absolutely minumal. Darned shame. So close to being really good.

As you say it works well when it works. I think mine is saving me a couple hours a week of vacuuming and brushing.

Hope it helps
