Since 2019 I have purchased 4 of the older blue models of the vacuum. They all had a problem of an occasional loosening plastic collar nut. On the older models, I could just use some plumber's tape and that would fix the problem. However, with the newer gray model it does not work. There seems to be less thread to grab onto and, even with the plumber's tape it will vibrate itself loose and then it will be dead in the water in about a day or two (no matter how hard I tighten it). I will have to try something more drastic (glue/tape) to try and make it work.

I just unpacked this thing I've only been using it for about 24 hours, but I am VERY impressed. I was a barracuda user for several years at my previous home. They are finicky and expensive, but for many years they were the only game in town for that style suction cleaner. This cleaner seems to me of comparable build quality and comparable functionality, for roughly a quarter of the price. My wife was not impressed with the gray and yellow coloring, but that bothers me less... especially once it's in the pool you hardly notice. It even comes with two spare diaphragms (a too-expensive replacement part barracuda owners know all too well).

All pool cleaners can get stuck in a corner of the pool by steps or tight corners. Installing a "pool hose rotator" will help solve this problem. Also, use the "45 degree" white connector when connecting the hose to the unit to improve "corner performance". Also, if your pool cleaner port on your pool is not located in the center of your pool, consider installing a 45 degree PVC fitting onto your port first to allow the cleaner hose to point more towards the center of the pool. I found this to work very well in my pool where the pool cleaner inlet port is not in the center of the pool.Also, you can get more hours of use out of your yellow diaphragm by adjusting the tension on the diaphragm. When the cleaner stops working after many hours of operation (the diaphragm rubber relaxes and the opening becomes too large) adjust the opening by loosening the yellow retaining ring, slide the clear tube to adjust the diaphragm opening (tension) to about a 1/16 of an inch, reassemble and check the operation of the cleaner.Good company to work with. They have made improvements on this new model and are very responsive to issues you have with the unit.

This didn't work for our above ground pool.It was well-made, but just move off the bottom of the vinyl.However, I could definitely see this working really well for an in-ground pool.The construction seemed sturdy and durable.Overall, it seemed like a great product, just not for our particular needs.Hopefully this review helps someone else make a decision!

It does a decent job cleaning the floor of the pool and is easy to set up. It said the hose would be long enough for my 21' round pool and it theoretically is, but with the patterns it seems to want to naturally follow it never quite gets to the far side of the pool from the skimmer. The instructions say that the hose shouldn't vibrate but I can't get it not to. I wonder if my pump is more powerful than this is designed for, but it's working and holding up and I've gotten almost a whole season out of it. It also came with spare parts which was nice.

This is a review of the first 24-hours of operation of the 2024 version of the Vingli pool vacuum. I have owned multiple of the Vingli pool vacuums (original version)-- perhaps 3 or 4. What I found with the original version was that they last about 1 year before they self destruct. The support structure of the original version usually breaks somewhere and eventually causes the unit to stop working after about 1 year of operation. Since the units have a 1-year warranty I was able to get one unit replaced. The design on the 2024 version appears to eliminate the support structure that has been the cause of the breakage in the past on the original units. My expectation- this new version should last longer (not verified yet). I disconnected the older version vacuum head from the hose and installed the 2024 version vacuum head. It operated perfectly-- and has continued for the past 24 hours (cycled on/off a couple times). So far I'm pleased with the 2024 version-- time will tell how well it holds up.UPDATE: After a couple day, our opinion is: this unit is superior to the earlier version. It does not get hung up on the steps and corners, it operates just like the older version otherwise. We are anticipating that it will last more than 1-year (our prior experience with the older version). It certainly is work the price.UPDATE AGAIN: I have not changed my opinion. This unit is an improvement over the old model and works great. Highly recommend it.

Works great but only long enough to get outside the refund window. The replacement diagram blows out easily and even then the whole shaft comes apart so it stops working even with a new diaphragm. Also the plastic housing grinds off against the pool. I had to use heavy duty tape to get it to work and eventually it quit all together. I've never had something meant for long term use last such a short time. Total garbage do not buy.
