Pros & Cons
Pros
The suction is amazing and the ease of cleaning is crazy good. Only con is we have self cleaning pool & it hangs up on the pop ups. The standard filter is a fine single layer nylon mesh which is good for leaves, sand, dog hair, etc.
The p-40 is a similar model and thought i would keep the old quattro for spare parts. Owning a pool pretty much demands owning a dolphin. This one is def worth the spend.
The sigma has enough suction to cling to the wall, surface and bob up and down cleaning the waterline! It not only does a great job at the water line but everywhere else as well. The attached photo is two days after heavy rain and thunderstorms. Climb... Read More
It is an amazing machine that will save countless hours of vacuuming. The operation is simple. This requires some strength and proper lifting technique.
The vac does a great job on the pool floor and i see it cleaning the waterline on occasion. Plan is to devise a drain clip on remedy to keep the vac off. The robot now works flawlessly with no issues getting stuck on the drain.
Cons
Maytronics customer service is a joke. Have been nothing but disappointed. When and if you do finally get in contact with them they want you to pay to ship it back to them. I and to contact amazon again in order to get a return approved finally.

It's now a $2,000 pile of cheap plastic. This hassle and extra costs are not worth the high price. You're better off buying cheaper models and save over $500 because they are misleading you on the features.
Highlights
Quality
The app works great and i have no regrets buying the sigma
The construction of the filter assembly makes it much easier to clean out vs
Had the pool builders crappy pool cleaner for the last several years and it continued to not clean the pool and get stuck on our stairs
Worked well for 2 months then today it suddenly stopped working
Price
Worth the extra money for this model
The price of the robot is just a fraction of what you already spent on building your pool and it makes pool maintenance so much... Read More
I expect much more from a 1600 product
Vac line powered electric and a dozen price tiers for any of them
Shipping
I called maytronics customer service located in georgia they sent me a shipping label and 1
Update maytronics paid to ship it back and repair
I live close so i dropped it off and they shipped it back within a few days
Packaging/appearance
It did not come with a remote control
Competitiveness
The sigma is superior to the premier in every way and it is worth the extra money
For the additional 200 the sigma is significantly better than the premier
There is zero comparison to the premier
That is the same difference between the pool robot that came with my pool versus the dolphin sigma
