I have put my one week old M4 in the pool and it does not move, the motor runs because I see the water churning.

Hi Ms. June - there should be a drive motor to turn the tracks and a pump motor to move the water. If the unit is not moving, then you may have an issue with the drive motor. I suggest that you take it to a shop and have it tested to determine if it is the drive motor.

I have one and it worked fine. I would hold it in the air and turn it on to see if the tracks move if not then something isn't engaging.

If you read my reply, I said that there is a little motor with it. Sorry - thought that was clear. Note: a motor is not the same as a pump; however, it does move the water around, as in agitate.

My pool people says with loud sound , it is on its last leg. Mine was also leaking water. I replaced rather then refurbished.i believe was right move. However if not leaking and working wait till it goes. Bought new pump online ,less money then local. Noise from housing motor !i believe he said.

I think it should go underwater as advised, but mine get wet after a week of normal use in pool and beach.

Just put it in to water and it will work There is a sensor at the bottom of the boat that will let the motor activated only when the boat is on water

It doesn't hold very much water. You would not see a change in the water level of the pool.

There is a small motor that sits outside of the tank. It is connected by a small tube to the air stone that goes in the center of the tank like the picture represents. Yes, it does go in the water.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

When it has air in it it floats. When it is full of water it doesn't float. You don't want air in your vac line. It sounds like perhaps you've installed the canister inbetween pool hose links. Remove the canister from the hose. You should place the unit underwater and allow all the air bubbles to escape, then plug the entire canister directly into the wall vac hole. Then, attach the pool hose (make sure you hold the hose underwater to release all air pockets before attaching to canister.). Should solve your problem.

Give it time, it works great in a round pool, it will stop for a few seconds then it will continue it cycle, its like an old man its slow but gets the job done, this thing really works however just give it time to do its thing.

That didn't happen to my pool. The first one worked for about 3 weeks and they sent me another. That one did not work at all and when called and asked for a replacement for the second one I got no response. This product does not work I wasted my money.

Turn it on and immediately submerge it into the pool. This is the best pool vacuum I've ever had.

Have you tried looking under the suction make sure no leaves are stuck also use the pool stream to shoot out any debri...sometimes this helps..could be clogged..

I am on brackish water, and have owned the craft a little more than a year. I can tell you that I have not noticed any difference in its condition over than time.

We have three stairs in our pool. The robot stays on the flat bottom of the pool. It does not go up the stairs. I brush off the stairs before putting the robot to work and that seems to be OK.

To tell you the truth I haven't seen anything floating. I will check again and respond. I would return it if you're not sure.

Well I threw it in a 9 ft deep pool and when I got it back it was like I never threw it in. Works great but if you need further answers check this review http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v;=4XhBcqHHNpQ
