What customers say
Customers praise this pool cleaner for its robust suction power, effectively removing significant debris like leaves and acorns for reliable routine maintenance. Setup is generally straightforward, and the cleaner provides excellent coverage in standard pools. The core cleaning function delivers strong performance and good value. However, user satisfaction is occasionally reduced by issues with the included hose, which users find stiff and prone to leaks, impacting efficiency. Some owners also note the cleaner sometimes requires manual adjustment when navigating tight corners or main drains. Overall, the device is valued for its powerful, hands-off cleaning capability, though improvements to peripheral components are desired.
