Unfortunately, the cord gets so tangled up every time that the power unit gets pulled a few feet from where it's supposed to be. Am I the only one?

Hi - I haven't had that issue. I just throw the entire blue part of the cord into the water and it stretches fine

My cord only get tangled if I don't unravel every couple of weeks or switch wheel turn. But no, I don't really have that problem with mine. Maybe your pool is very large?

We found that different settings of the wheels/axle resulted in more or less twisting. Generally, the more the robot turns, the more the cord seems to tangle. Try adjusting that, where you start the robot in the pool, or how long it cleans. For our pool (18x36 rectangle), making the wheels turn hardly at all and starting the robot at one end rather than the center kept the cord from tangling but still got our pool clean.

I always sorta straightin out the cord a bit before use and also have my power unit where it won't get dragged around.. I keep mine in a shaded spot on a table and make sure the sun is not shining on the power unit. It seems to get a bit hot when not in the shade.

Rotate the wheel pins between every use. And I always unwind the cord from the bot to the plug every couple of days. Also I start the bot near the midpoint of my above ground rectangular pool. Good luck.

I don't have that problem but mine does get stuck going back and forth in one spot.

No! Can you believe it??? AND to make matters worse, everytime you want to use the hose you have to unfurl the entire cord and then release the hose. I find the design draw backs for this unit to be incomprehensible. What were the designers thinking???

Try tucking it in a corner, if that doesn't work, use those 3m velcro strips to secure the base. I lodged the cord under a hutch foot, so it didn't move.

I am sorry I can't help, as I also faced the same issue. The moment I powered up, the fuse trip and the whole unit is down

Yeah I've had the same problem. I bought it to use in my bathroom. I had to just keep it plugged in.

I purchased the same unit and I had the same difficulty. Connecting the unit to the power source, the indicator light shows power coming in. Might be an internal contact problem or a mechanical design problem, because anything connected to it was not charging. I had to press constantly the plug of the chargeable unit into the charger openings, but after a short time the contact got interrupted and I had to press again and again. Bottom line: not a good unit, I would not recommend it to anybody to purchase.

I put the male side of the cord though one of the holes that has the second small hole on each side and kind of "clipped" it there. If it wouldn't stay then I would hold that end of the cord there and just start winding it around. Hope that helps.

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

I think it does not work without the power cord being connected to it ALL the time. so i returned it.

I often do, with no problem. The cord seems to end up warmer than the device; but I'm often on battery when using it on the sofa. :)

i didn't have that problem at all !!!the only suggestion i have is to make sure the plugs are pushed all the way in !!!good luck.

Never had this problem, but would guess you may be using to long or thin extension cord. If the cord is overworked, it will heat up and reduce power supplied. Try with a shorter or heavier cord.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

Check the power cable in the back. It does not fit quite as snugly as it should on this unit.

yea. it's probably defective. it works good on my end. no issues, no freezing. The connection might have a failure or switch the power cord. That might have the failure. Test it out.

You're connection to power is most likely coming loose. Try moving your cable around and reapplying your electrical tape. Let me know if that helps.

Push and hold the center button on the power cord. Sometimes it takes several tries
