Great vacuum, easy to use, time will tell on value
5 Stars
Great vacuum, easy to use, time will tell on value
Update: July 2021Keeps spinning in circles. Not jammed. Nothing appears broken. Not sure what is wrong but I’m really upset because it is as good as garbage as it is right now. I will attempt to have the local pool shop repair it but we will see.——————————-I like that it is uncomplicated, comes with what seems to be a well-designed hose system, and does indeed work with a low horsepower motor, easily sucking up the dirt and climbing all the walls.I have a 3/4hp 110/115v Jandy that looks to be at least 15yrs old providing the suction. Don’t know the pressure as I don’t have a pressure gauge anywhere in my system.My pool is ~14,000 gallons.It is under a screened-in enclosure, so no leaves, but it did a great job of lifting a lot of dirt from the floor of the pool. It does climb all the way up the walls to the edge which is impressive but it does not climb stairs or clean them. I brushed the walls off before starting the vacuum so not sure if it did a good job cleaning them or if I did :)...The before picture is very dirty, and the after picture is after about 8hrs-9hrs of cleaning. Looks good, eh?!The pool is NOT maintained by a salt system. It’s basic old chlorine and city water.Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase as it is today. I don’t like manual labor and always opt for anything that makes my life more maintenance-free.If it continues to work without repair for at least 1 year I will be happy with the purchase. If it can go 2yrs or more, though, that would make me feel truly great.My thoughts on price to value is that I’m not thrilled on the purchase price - but it IS sucking up the dirt and climbing the walls. I think it should be $300 or less. As of today, I’d say it’s a 6 out of 10 just because it’s very expensive for what it is... all plastic except the tracks.... lots of people saying repairs are imminent....If it continues for 3yrs or more with no issues, I’ll give it a 9 out of 10 for value, but we will have to wait and see.I was hesitating on which model to buy - I’m happy that I have this product.
