Love this vacuum! Easy to use, easy to empty the bag when it fills. Once charged, it runs for a long time, long enough for me to clean our 20βX36β pool. Also it charges up fairly quickly. We have a 9β deep end and the pole isnβt long enough to get to the bottom while standing outside on the pool deck but you.hop in the pool, grab the edge and vacuum and it works great. Good suction and all goes right into the bag. Also you can get a longer pole if needed and exchange but I didnβt mind getting in the pool. This little vacuum really does the job and gets it all clean. The only thing to be aware of and a mistake I made was to try and charge up before checking where you plug in charger and make sure there was no moisture in that area, I burnt out the motor and had to replace because I was impatient. I hadnβt charged the night before and I had to replace, which I gladly did because I love this little vacuum. We have owned our pool for almost 30 years and I have been cleaning it manually for years to save the cost on a vacuum system so when I saw this on Amazon, the price was right and I so needed to make cleaning it easier. We have a lot of trees around the pool and I am not getting any younger. Canβt recommend this little worker enough and you wonβt be disappointed if you purchase, just be sure not to charge if there is any moisture in the charge plug port.

So easy to use, lightweight, and pretty indestructible. The net that catches everything makes it so much easier to work with than other pool vacuums with all their filters and plastic bodies to catch the leaves. Those other vacuums are so hard to clean and I always got soaking wet. Easy to empty the netted bag and I can easily clean the pool from the deck. The battery last a good hour plus and recharges quickly. Great product!

This does its job. Easy to clean, and it will pick up a lot plus helps clean the corners my Aiper ignores. I feel like the suction could be a little more but being my first one of these types of pool vacuum up owned I really donβt have anything to compare it to for that reason I didnβt give it a five. But it is a great little vacuum for the pool.

Really easy to use. We have a deep kidney-shaped pool; 38,000 gal. We have a Polaris robotic unit and a Pool-Skim surface leaf device, but even they get overwhelmed with leaves this time of year. We charged this little vac overnight and it really helped hit small batches of leaves that still made it to the bottom but I didn't want to put the Polaris in. I use our standard pole- the one it comes with is good for hot tubs but our pool is too deep so used our pole. We had a competitor's leaf vac and the battery case always leaked. This unit's batteries are built-in and nice to just charge it. We liked how the vac bag has a styrofoamfloat to keep the bag upright; our old unit's bag constantly got wrapped around the pole or under it so this was a nice touch. It took quick care of the Chinese Pistache tree leaves that get into our pool, but it had a tough time with some silver maple leaves- which normally are too far from the pool but we had some heavy wind. The vac ran well and was still going at 30 minutes of continuous use so that was impressive. The vacuuming flow isn't super strong but again, it worked very well for our needs. I definitely will be ordering an extra bag or two so I can just keep going and then empty the bags when I'm completely finished. Also comes with a sheet of letters/numbers that are stylized to look like Navy ship hull numbers/letters- we'll be giving it a name here soon- kinda fun. I think this will be a good unit and hopefully will get 3-4 years use out of it. I'm sure the battery will Peter-out eventually and it doesn't appear replaceable. That's sadly the nature of manufacturing overseas and domestic- planned or forced obsolescence. With good care and storing the unit in a cool space, and not over-charging it, I'm hoping to keep this running as long as possible.

I've used this item 6-8 times during a heavy leaf falling season, with 4 oak trees close to the pool.Pros:- vac is well built, not fragile, no loose parts- suction is a monster - picked up many many individual adult oak leaves and acorns with ease.- charge holds well - many uses before recharge- Works great on my pool's toe ledge perimeter, built in seating and everything except my top step.- After 6-8 uses, its holding up well, and its a valuable tool in cleaning the pool to perfection.- It's convenient, mostly. Super nice not to have to plug anything in when using. It's truly grab and go.- works great with any typical pool poleCons:- The fine bag that gets the tiny dirt works well - but the bag has a small flotation device sewed in at the end of it, and once dirt falls within that sewed-off area, its impossible to fully clean out.- This is more a concern than a con - It's unknown how the power jack stays protected underwater, as it gets covered up by another piece of plastic when turned on. That coverup doesn't appear to be water proof. Either way, when i take the vacuum out of the pool and turn it off, I can see a little bit of water on the jack. The manual states that you must make sure it is dry before using. The tech is cheap to make it waterproof. I considered knocking off a star, however it doesn't seem to be the issue I thought it would be, because it goes so long without needing a charge.Verdict: Yep! it's great, and quickly spot cleans what my robot vac misses, or when leaves gather in a few spots. There is some maintenance with making sure it doesnt sit with choline and/or salt water, and making sure the power adaptor is dry.I have used it alone to clean the entire pool, (30x14) but that took some effort. When used with a Robot vac, and a simple net for the leaves on the top, it basically gets all the things the other cleaners cant, and with the least amount of effort.Like any electronic pool cleaner, it needs to be thoroughly hosed off, dried and put away in a temperature-controlled environment if you want it to last. However it's a light item, and not that difficult to do.
