DaddyBear - 5 Stars

This machine can clean! Was very nervous buying the cheaper version...I should not have been. This thing works brilliantly, couldn’t be any easier to get going and has functioned flawlessly. Like others, I can’t believe I waited so long to buy this, I love it! Sure there are double scrubber versions, but this single one works perfectly fine!

Kim Dugar - 5 Stars

This little machine will take the headache of keeping your swimming pool clean. Best thing we ever did!

Rita D. - 5 Stars

Not happy about the cost, but our previous vacuum quit and we thought we would try a different brand. It’s a whole lot easier to clean than the net bag type cleaner. We only used it for about a month before we closed our pool For the winter. I think it will be fine though.

Maryann J. Casino - 5 Stars

Works good, but sometimes, it stops. ??? When it works it does a great cleaning job.

Serotonin - 5 Stars

Works pretty well for my 8 feet deep pool. Climbing walls and scrubbing the water line, it makes pool ownership much easier.
