Not great
Badly designed, bought 1 after using cheap diaphragm types because I thought that costing so much more they would be good. Had nothing but trouble from day 1. Had too keep an eye on it in the pool as it stopped all the time. We have a lot of leaves enter the pool, the hammer which propels it stops working when leaves are ingested as the hammer is inline in the main water intake and debris has to pass it to go through to the filter box. At the other end of the pool cleaner it gets worse as it has convoluted piping that doesnt allow larger items ...
Read moreto flow out through to the filter box either. You also cannot pull it apart to clean out the troublesome leaves and get it going again. I have had mine out of the pool for a couple of weeks so the leaf build up can dry out and fall back out the bottom. Other reviews say that it is good in exactly the conditions I have, I found that not to be the case at all.

Yes its a little bit late now after paying $500.00 for the product. There is nothing on the box that says not suitable for anything other than small debris, I would not have bought it if it had of sai...
Read mored that. I knew what I needed. A simple redesign at the top end would fix most of the problems.
So easy, gets the job done
I get a lot of leaves, twigs and dirt in my pool, particularly in high winds and rain. My new pool cleaner doesn't impede pool use and can be easily moved.

Finally a product that keeps my pool clean
As we don't have any over hanging trees however lots of building going on in the area so plenty of dust. The VTX-3 keeps our pool clean and sparkly. The price was right also for my budget, thank you for a great product.

Good so far
Recently purchased the vtx-3 to replace a hy Clor sprinter that didn’t move and this has worked perfectly so far. Pool floor was dirty as so it’s pretty easy to see coverage and it’s been able to fully clean the floor and partly up the walls of a larger concrete pool. The provided vacuum box attachment has some room to move but even though it doesn’t fit well there is no loss in function

The VTX-3 Is amazing
The debris the VTX-3 can pick up from small to large debris and the cleaning of the side walls is outstanding. Being so small, yet so effective is enough to purchase this cleaner.The best part is the kids can swim without even knowing it’s their !!

perfect pool cleaner, the best you can buy
The kreepy krauly VTX3 is easy to assemble, worked right away without needing any fiddling to get it to work. It does require a faster pool pump setting to work, It also cleaned up larger leaves or twigs,and works so smoothly, It really is set and forget, comes with a great warranty and good customer service,
buy away and sit back and enjoy the pool experience

Amazing!
Only purchased this pool cleaner last summer and my only regret is not buying it sooner! It saves me and my partner from scooping and scrubbing all the grim off the sides. We have recommended our product to many friends who have gone out and purchased it. Can talk highly enough of this product!

So good it scored me tickets to the 2021 AFL Grand Final!!
I’m not gonna lie. I don’t own the VTX-3.
I don’t even have a pool. But after winning 2 grand final tickets on behalf of the good people at Kreepy Krauly I may just be digging that hole in time for the summer and picking up one of these bad boys! My in-laws rave about theirs and I’ve yet to
come across a cleaner pool!

We struggled to keep the pool clean before investing in a kreepy krauly. So worth the investment.
Helped with leaves and bugs. No more screaming kids when they found bugs in the pool. It has been well worth the money the past summer and no doubt this summer

The best compliment is loyalty!
The best compliment is loyalty! Living on 4 acres the kreepy is perfect for the truck loads of leaves and pollen left behind. We have had our kreepy for over 20 years now and has passed onto a new generation. It’s still as good as when we bought it. An iconic pool brand with a super product.

Hi Andrew,
The VTX-3 is designed for lighter leaf load pools. It does manage smaller leaves quite well. However, if it has been a significant build up, it is probably outside of its design limitation...
Read mores or can I suggest you manual clean the build up and allow the cleaner to operate in a more maintenance role? The VTX-7 is designed for higher leaf load pools.
