All that being said, I think that everyone knows how this movie is going to end. The cordless technology is not there yet, this much is true, but they are going to continue to improve upon it until they surpass and eliminate corded units completely. I’m in the market for a cleaner, and as things are at the moment, I’m probably going to go with a corded unit, but I’m going to hate the cord, of this I have no doubt. I know that you have said that you don’t remove your cleaner, but from everything that I have read, it is highly recommended by the manufacturers as well as people that repair corded cleaners, to take them out when not in use to extend the life of the unit itself as well as the cord…so if you follow this advice, you’ll be constantly putting it in and taking it out in the same way that you would a cordless cleaner, eliminating the corded advantage. You may have the means to spend $1500-$2000 on a pool cleaner every few years, but I would imagine that most people out there would like to extend the life of their investment as long as possible. Also, none of the cleaners, corded or cordless really seem to follow much of a uniform pattern when cleaning. They all seem to just go in random directions regardless of claims to the contrary. You have been in this game much longer than I have, so I am going to go with your knowledge and get the Explorer E70 and hope that it works as advertised, and that the cord doesn’t drive me up a wall. I believe that cordless is the future, but the future is not now, unfortunately…but it’s coming. After all that, I thank you for what you do, and all of the work you put in to inform everyone out here trying to sort their way through all of the lofty claims on both sides of the argument. It’s very confusing. Take care.
