iRobot Mirra 530 Take the work of out of cleaning your pool with the iRobot Mirra 530 Pool Cleaning Robot. Mirra uses enhanced robotic technology to deep clean pool surfaces and water, removing leaves, hair and dirt, as well as algae, pollen and bacteria as small as two microns. Mirra has a self-contained vacuum, pump and filter, so it won’t strain your existing systems. An added bonus is energy cost savings from running these systems less frequently. And because there’s no installation required, you simply drop it in the pool, turn it on and let it go. Designed to clean any type of residential in-ground pool, Mirra 530 lifts grime off the pool floors and walls with a PVC scrubbing brush, including at the water line where oils and bacteria can build up. Just drop it in, press the CLEAN button and Mirra is off to work, pumping and filtering 70 gallons (265 litres) of water per minute – that’s over a gallon a second. It also reduces heated hot spots and keeps chlorinated water evenly distributed as it disburses filtered water throughout your pool, capturing debris as tiny as two microns. By comparison, the diameter of the average human hair is 70 microns. PVA wheels keep Mirra grounded on slick pool surfaces. Mirra 530 uses enhanced robotic technology, including iAdapt Nautiq Responsive Cleaning Technology For Pools to size up the approximate dimensions of the pool, then chooses the optimum cleaning cycle for maximum efficiency. Mirra provides the most thorough cleaning by making multiple passes over the entire inside of the pool, navigating obstacles, climbing walls and stairs, changing directions when necessary and making sure not to tangle its power cord. Mirra 530 is the easiest pool cleaning robot to use and maintain, offering single push-and-play operation with the iRobot CLEAN button. When the job is done, two quick-drain valves on the bottom of the robot allow for fast draining and lightweight handling. It’s easy to clean the debris out of Mirra’s two, top-load filter canisters. Simply lift out the basket and open the trap door, which doesn’t require the removal and dumping of pool water and chemicals into the environment. Optional large-debris canisters are available for heavier pool clean-ups, including during the fall season. Mirra is easy to move from the pool to a storage area with the optional carrying caddy. Two top-load canisters make it easy to clean debris from the Mirra Mirra’s 60’ floating power cord can cover your entire pool area and does not tangle The PVA wheels give the robot sponge-like traction on slick pool surfaces Mirra cleans your pool from floor to waterline ensuring thorough coverage iAdapt Technology maps the pool and chooses an optimum cleaning cycle No installation required, simply plug Mirra in and push the CLEAN button Mirra’s self-contained vacuum sucks in water as the scrub brush lifts grime off the floor and walls. Then the pump and filter separate debris into the canisters Product Features Dual Top Load Filter Canisters – Easy-to-remove canisters allow you to quickly access and remove debris – simply lift out the basket, open the trap door and take out debris. iAdapt Nautiq Responsive Cleaning Technology – Mirra 530 provides complete pool coverage and a thorough cleaning with the iAdapt Nautiq Responsive Cleaning Technology. This technology sizes up the approximate dimensions of the pool then choose the optimum cleaning cycle for maximum efficiency. This system also allows the Mirra 530 to make multiple passes, avoid obstacles, and climb walls and stairs. Active Scrubbing Brush – The PVC scrubbing brush is actively geared to the motors of the robot. This 4:1 gear ratio provides active agitation to the pool surface as the robot moves, allowing Mirra to scrub and lift leaves, hair, dirt, algae, and bacteria off the pool floor and walls. Two Powerful Motors - Mirra has one motor to drive the robot and another to pump and filter 70 gallons of water per minute to clean the pool as fast as possible. As Mirra moves, it reduces heated hot spots and keeps chlorinated water evenly distributed as it disburses filtered water throughout the pool. PVA Wheels - These wheels give Mirra sponge-like traction on slick pool surfaces like ceramic or vinyl. Optional rubber wheels provide optimum performance on rough surface like gunite. No Installation Required - Simply plug Mirra in, drop it in the water, push the CLEAN button, and watch it scour your pool from top to bottom. The self-contained vacuum, pump, and filter system work without suction lines or other modifications to existing systems, so your pool’s systems work less, require less maintenance, and are less costly to operate.

A Few Quirks, but Ultimately I'd Recommend - 5 Year Life Span
I'm an Arizona resident and have been a pool owner for over 10 years. With the extreme heat, and high use of chlorine, I've gone through a fair amount of pool equipment over the years. In general most pool gear is over-priced and not constructed well, which is why I think the iRobot Mirra 530 needs to be considered in that context.I've now used this pool cleaner for over a month (in swim season) and arrived at the following conclusions;Strengths:(1) It is constructed well and seems to be made with quality materials. It looks and feels better than most plastic-y pool equipment I've had in the past. It also just looks better than some of the garish robot cleaners I've seen in the pool store.(2) It is fairly easy to set up and get operational out of the box. For the most part the only assembly is putting the tires on the wheels.(3) It is thorough in it's cleaning and it was picking up stuff my previous cleaners never could.(4) Coverage is good-to-exceptional, climbing walls and steps unlike previous cleaners.(5) It is easy to clean and no pool debris has clogged it yet (and I have a swimming golden retriever so that is saying something!).(6) It does a great job of aerating the water and moving the chlorine around. The output points directly up so it seems to circulate from bottom to top, rather than clockwise (sideways) as the normal pump/filter does.Weaknesses, Areas for Improvement, Observations and Recommendations:(1) The setup instructions are limited to getting the device into the pool and turned on. I think they could have done a better job explaining operation, run-time, etc.(2) There are foam inserts (4 total) that you need to use in order to get the robot to turn 90 degrees. You may need 1 of them or all 4. You have to kind of figure this out and experiment with it - if you don't work this out you will not get full coverage.(3) At times I thought coverage was limited as the robot would "focus" on one section of the pool, however I realized the run-time on this is just longer than I anticipated and it will eventually move around. Also, again, play with the foam inserts.(4) It is expensive, but if I can get 6+ years out of it I think it ends up being a good value. Replacing $400 gizmos every few years, that weren't as effective, isn't particularly useful.In conclusion if this product holds up over time, and proves to be durable (rare with pool equipment), then this is probably a 5-star product. For the price it really needs to last. Makes rating a bit tough after only a month, but hope this review was helpful anyway.UPDATED Jan 4 - 2018: Back in 2013 I stipulated that if I could get 6+ years out of this vacuum then it's probably a good value. Well, I got about 5 years. During that time I did replace the power transfer box, set of wheels (once), and a few bearings - all to be expected. Today the motor crashed out, and at this point fixing it doesn't seem practical. All things considered I'm modifying to 3 Stars and a soft recommendation. I think it works okay, but the price point is too high for something destined to not last all that long.

Buying this will be the worst decision of your life
I rarely do Amazon reviews. But I have to here.Bought the Mirra 530 in 2013. Here are all the problems I've encountered:1) The unit's front bobs up and down, even with the floaters removed.2) The baskets are HORRIBLY designed. The handles both broke in the first summer. It took me, easily, 10+ hours of back and forth with iRobot to get replacements. The plastic handle design is terrible - the suction of the basket combined with so many nooks and crannies in the basket to catch small particles makes it almost 100% for sure that they will break. The replacement baskets, at $100 EACH (!!!) from irobot, are made the same way. The replacement baskets' handles broke in year two. I figured out a way to use two screwdrivers to take out each basket after that, but it was a struggle each time.3) The wheels are made from a foam that disintegrates over time. I've gone through 3 sets. You can't buy just the foam - you have to buy all four wheels in a set. $75, + shipping.4) The brush on the bottom moves the wheels on one side. The fitting for the brush broke, so the wheels wouldn't turn anymore. Bought a new brush but the housing for it was on the unit, not the replacement. Went in circles and twisted up the cord.5 ) Finally the fan blade broke. The only source I could find for a replacement was a 3D printing place online.The only thing I liked is that the unit would auto-power on when the power was cut/reloaded. Not really smart, but I used it to my advantage with a smart switch to get the unit going from my deck without having to go to the pool. Bad design was my win.When I had new wheels, new baskets, working brush and the thing didn't bob up and down, it did a not so bad job of cleaning my pool.However, over 3 years, I paid:$1400 - unit (with tax)$200 + shipping - baskets$150 + shipping - wheels$50 - new brush~ $1800That's a lot of money for something that gets thrown away after its warranty expires.I bought a Dolphin Quantum this summer and I think it's amazing. It fixed everything that was wrong with the Mirra 530.

Very big disappointment. It doesn't do what it says it's supposed ...
I have had this for 2 seasons. Very big disappointment. It doesn't do what it says it's supposed to do. The brush barely contacts the wall. It misses a lot of spots. It just stirs up dust. I ran this all day and it just leaves tracks all over the pool. It seems like the wheels pick up debris more than the the machine itself. After about a year, the brush bushings will wear out. I called tech support, they said the part isn't in their warehouse, they would have to notify the 3rd party and ask them to ship the part. I decided to fix it myself. I replaced the bushings with 3/8 in. Bi-Fold Door Steel Bottom Pivot. After I repaired this thing since customer out -of-service didnt help, It will clean at the very first pass, then it will quit picking up debris and then just drive down to the deep end and stay there, DONT BUY THIS MACHINE, GET A DOLPHIN. Mirra is now buried in my backyard. I use the cord as a jumprope.

Not as good as a Polaris
Update: Boight a Dolphin Nautilus Plus CC to replace this total piece of crap. It’s awesome and does everything the iRobot promised to do but couldn’t. You know, things like actually clean the pool...We bought this as a replacement to our broken Polaris. Given the results we have had with their carpet products, we expected this to be an awesome product. However, after using it for a second summer now, we gave up and bought another Polaris.This device did not clean the bottom of the pool. It would leave clean tracks where the foam wheels went, but the actual cleaning portion did little to nothing. It would pick up larger debries such as leafs, but left the finer particulates on the pool bottom.You may have better results. But for us, we have a used pool robot for sale.
