I will say this unit is much newer than what I have been using (Polaris 280). Pros is it's compact and easy to install. The setup I purchased has a Cyclone Leaf Canister for cleaning. The upside of this vs the old setup is the fact that I don't need to run 2 pumps, which I can save a bunch of electricity. Downside is as it is suction based, if you are ever pulling the robot out of the water, or cleaning the Cyclone Leaf Canister where the pipes are sucking in air, the air will need to get processed out of the system for the robot to work fine again. Sometimes if there is too much suction (pump running too fast with skimmer / drain valves not dialed in properly), the robot will sometimes craw above the water and suck in air.
It does need some fine tuning with suction, such as closing the pool bottom drain valves and possibly closing the other skimmer's flow (if your setup has 2 skimmers). This style of pool robot takes up 1 of the skimmers, so if you only have 1 skimmer, the top of the water will be fairly dirty. Will likely need to pair this robot with a separate surface skimmer. Once everything is dialed in, it works great and has a lot less moving parts compared to the Polaris.
Overall satisfied with the setup as it cleans fairly well, and paired with a variable pump, it runs 24/7 keeping the bottom of the pool clean.
The vaccum itself seemed okay at first, but starting with a fresh new pool made it hard to tell it wasn't working. The vaccum was recommended to me by google and amazon for an above ground pool. It had reviews by people with above ground pools. Above ground pools are never perfect or 100% smooth and this vaccum misses mostly everything. SMALL leaves get caught in the fins inside the machine's system AND the hose before it could ever make it to the leaf filter it came with. Even without leaves to pick up, it misses entire sections of my pool floor becuase it gets caught up or goes around on the smallest bit of uneven ground, wrinkles, slopes. The suction (even with my good hose) isn't enough to suck debree out of the deepest of holes that the vaccum DOES go over despite NOOO bleed in of air (I am talking PERFECT prime! No bubbles or lost suction. My alternate/good hose has given me a bruise when it stuck to me accidentally while trying to hold onto it under water while readjusting things... but that suction cant seem to pull enough to thoroughly clean the uneven floor. Even if my floor WAS 100% smooth, the nice extra wide foam cove I have is not curved enough to let the vaccum climb the walls. And it can't back itself out of the corner from which it often gets stuck. You essentially just can't leave this thing unsupervised... but I bought an automatic vaccum so I could LEAVE and come back in a few hours and see progress. Complete waste.
The leaf container? This was a good idea. It is EVERYTHING. It is easy to use, filters put large debree before hitting my good hose, my skimmer filter, my pump filter, or my sand filter. It is the only thing worth a damn and it didn't even come in the same box.
Don't buy the vaccum or its hose. Complete waste of money. Seller will not work with you on a return either. I didn't realize it was such a short return or I would have never purchased it knowing I would be going out of town for over a month within mere days of its arrival. They will tell you to speak to someone else becuase the stuff they sell isn't their problem.
I have never put together a pool cleaner so I was a bit nervous since is was a little more money than I initially expected to pay for a pool cleaner. The set-up was very easy and the instructions made it a breeze for me to set up. Once I put it together, I connected it to the suction side of the pool and off it went. I watched it for a minute and quickly realized that the pressure was too low for the device to climb the walls. I had to make minor adjustments to get the pressure pinpointed so that it would climb to the top of the water and turn back around and keep going.
Once the adjustments were made, it took off and hasn't stopped. It had been windy in our area so the cleaner was working full time to pick up leaves and debris from the bottom of the pool, but it worked like a charm. Cleans well, never gets stuck in corners and the price was right after all. I know I will buy the same brand in the future and I fully recommend this product to anyone.
