I wanted to make sure I used this one a bit before writing a review. It's decent, not great. The suction is not strong enough for my 5 star rating. A few dislikes but at the top of the list is the ridiculously small filter that fills up way too fast with leaves. The filter also has a needlessly difficult to open design, so the fast fill-up frustration is exacerbated by the hard to empty filter design.If you really need something low end and cheap, I might recommend this one but if you're a real friend I might tell you to spend a bit more and get a nice unit.

The product was as expected and better, easy to assemble and use! Battery charge is excellent and cleaning very impressive, easy to use with extendable pole! My swimspa is very clean with this cleaner! Product was delivered quickly and packaging at high standard to prevent damage. Communication as always at a high standard!

I am actually quite impressed with this vacuum. I have a small inground pool in my backyard, and I wanted a product to be able to do a quick spot cleaning in my pool. Instead of lugging the huge hose out and then backwashing my filter just to clean a small area, it is really handy to use this product. The suction is surprisingly powerful, and the unit is able to easily pick up small debris (small stones, sand, dead bugs, etc). I have used the vacuum several times, and have not had to recharge it as of yet. It seems to be well built, and it is easy to clean.

I bought this vacuum primarily for vacuuming dead algae. It had a discount price for "Prime Days." I am completely satisfied. It is well thought-out and well designed, avoiding all of the annoying features of a previous hand-held vac that I used. It seems "built to last," the owner's manual is helpful, and it makes the job "almost enjoyable." I have a 16' x32' pool that a previous owner set in with no adequate filtration system. So it's a challenging environment for this vacuum which has proved that it's not a toy or "just for spas or kiddie pools" yet comes at a reasonable price.UPDATE: The battery life has always been much better than promised (two hours, not one) but after daily use during the warm weather the unit would sometimes fail to charge completely. Now, however, in the much colder weather I'm still swimming daily (in a wetsuit) & the unit is operating more strongly than ever. The suction is strong & the unit consistently takes a full charge. Water temp is in the low 50's. The cold has given the unit new life!Further update: to avoid the problem of having the battery not take a full charge, the manufacturer says to not fully deplete the battery when you use it. With all due respect, I don't think that's the problem since I've had the battery fail to take a full charge under both circumstances. The "fix" that works is to plug the unit in to recharge IMMEDIATELY after you shut it off. Don't leave it lying around somewhere for ANY length of time. I've been following this plan consistently now and have had zero battery issues. Battery charge is still good for 90 - 100 minutes in 43 degree water temp.

This is my THIRD pool vacuum. Since they all seem to last about a year, I thought I'd go cheaper this time. SOOOO glad I did!! It out-performs last year's expensive blaster, which died the day after its warranty.After a small problem with the filter basket - which the seller fixed so fast I didn't have time to blink - I am LOVING this little workhorse! Most pool vacuums claim to run for forty to sixty minutes. This one says it'll run up to sixty. In my experience, they usually run under forty. My neighbour is fixing his roof. Every tiny bit of roofing material has blown into my pool. I just finished an hour and fifteen minutes of vacuuming! Got ALL that stuff up from the bottom of my pool! I wish I had had my phone with me to show you all the YUCK that I cleaned up with this little machine today, but it overheats when I leave it on the pool deck.It takes **FOREVER** to charge, but it lasts and lasts and lasts! It picks up everything except the really BIG leaves, and it doesn't like pine needles much, but it gets the job done. I usually go in the pool with it, so I can pull the pine needles out before it sucks them all the way up, leaving more room for everything else. Not that it lacks internal space, but it IS a vacuum and, just like the one in my living room, when the thing is full the suction is less. Fortunately, I was able to have a spigot installed right by the pool that I can reach while in my pool, and cleaning this is as easy as 1-2-3!It can even be fun to use. Don't tell my neighbour - I want him to think I slaved away all day - but in my little 48" x 18' round above ground, I can slap on a mask and snorkel and swim and vacuum at the same time!Cleans sand, leaves, and roofing crud. Easy to clean the large-capacity filter. Simple to put together - and I suggest you assemble the filter under water because it IS large and can hold a zillion air bubbles which get in the way of seeing what you're doing.Does it all for half the price of some of the others!

Just got this one to replace a Pool Master vac that died after a few shorts months. So far, this one is great. Simple to use and works well. Good enough battery. Good enough suction for sand and light dirt on bottom. Easy to attach to long pole. Too early to speak about durability and life because it's too new. But so far, I love it.Update-it's been over a year. basically 2 pool seasons and I love this thing. I use it once or twice a week for light stuff. Mostly sand as I seem to have an ongoing sand issue (that's another issue). It is great for that and small leaves. It has enough suction and is so easy to clean. And the filter is washable and re-usable. It lasts long enough to go back and forth in my 16x32 pool. At least 40 min. I connect it easily to a long pole from my skimmer. I've had 2 Pool Master vacs for the same work load and there is no comparison. I have not had to use my regular pool vac since I got this. No long hose to drag out and put away. This does the trick so nicely and is so easy and pleasant to use. I hate to think where I'd be without it.
