Expensive and ineffective

published

Does not lift dirt, does not climb walls, does not clean steps, chokes on leaves, nuts and twigs. Stops every minute. Waste of $750.00. The retailer I purchased from no longer stocks it...too many complaints. There is no problem with my pump, filters or skimmer box. I am very disappointed

Money Saver

published

So i have had Zodiac Barracuda for years and replaced part after part, and went through three seperate units...
Decided to buy The Pool Cleaner and what an investment, its great over two years and not touched it, no parts worn out ot ripped, it does a great job at cleaning and saves me money compared to others, highly reccomend it.

Best Cleaner I've ever had

Could definitely live with out!!

published

This cleaner was recommended by the pool shop as amazing. We have solar panels so thought I would run it at night. My children advised that there was a monster outside!! heavens only knows what my neighbours think because the pool cleaner comes out of the water sucks air and sounds like a monster or someone being strangled. Have been back to the pool shop on numerous occasions. Had the rep out still no luck. Cost me $899 (a small fortune) and a lot of arguments and angst with family members.

I have tried everything to adjusting speed, different valves etc to no avail.



I would under no circumstances recommend this cleaner.

I want my money back so I can go buy a Kreepy Krawley or a Barracuda.

Definitely Not HAPPY JAN!!!!

Best pool cleaner we have ever used.

published

We have had the Pool Cleaner for about 18 months & it is absolutely fantastic. We have large gum trees on the property next door. These trees drop leaves into the pool 24/7. The Pool Cleaner handles the cleaning A1. On occasions it will get caught on the step around the pool but a recent adjustment to the bypass in the weir box has fixed this issue.
We would recommend this cleaner to anyone!

Amazing Product

published

I have had my "the pool cleaner" for six years and have not even had to change a hose let alone make any repairs. I have a tiled pool and have needed to change the tyres once in that time. It is a great product and works very very well. I bought it from the company that installed my pool and did not attempt to get a cheap version.

Perfect

published

We have had the pool cleaner for a month now and found it perfect for our pool, excellent coverage and
A great improvement on the onga hammerhead which previously gave me nightmares, having to spend more time freeing it from corners and the step areas. We would certainly recommend the pool cleaner as an upgrade to a kreepy krawly type of cleaner.

Terrific. I really couldn't ask for more unless I spent maybe $2.5k on a robotic cleaner- no thanks!

We Are About To Throw It In The Bin, Have Told Everyone Not To Go Near It !!!

This is the most frustrating pool cleaner we have had and yet the pool shop we purchased it from said it was the best!!! it climbs out of the pool, sucks air and makes shocking noises when it does, we have had the pool shop man come out to see what he can do but he has no idea !!! it is not about adjusting as we do read the manual and have done every single thing possible - do not buy one !!!

Great For The First 2 Years Then...

published

Trouble. From year 3 onwards the Pool Cleaner has been headache growing into a migraine. Lately it has dropped all of its little wheels and now just sucks in on itself. Pool maintenance guys are at a loss as to what to do with it but have done the best they can. It's like flogging a dead horse. Not worth the money.

Doesn't clean

published

I'll keep it short and not so sweet. I have a leaf problem and the Pool Cleaner hates them, only sucks a few. The other thing the Pool Cleaner hates is a dirty pool, I end up cleaning it by hand. All the Pool Cleaner wants to do is go up the wall, probably trying to escape. Bought it from Swim mart for $800, no wonder he said it was a great cleaner. I do not shop there any more. The cleaner is for sale and I will take any reasonable amount. All you 5 star people buy a cheap 2nd Pool Cleaner.

Pool cleaner worked great, but after sales service from suppliers is poor

published

I bought one when they first came on the market, with the standard one year warranty, at $750.00, after 18 months the brass bushes in the chasis that the wheels bolt into corroded and split the plastic, I took it back to the pool shop and the Pool Cleaner rep the says that must have been dropped. what a crock of you know what,They didn't want to know about it. Now they have changed the design, but I wonder whether they have changed their attitude??. It was a lot of money for not even 2 years of pool cleaning.

Ok but

published

This is over priced in NZ like 1200NZ vs half that in Australia.'It requires the filtration system to be in near perfect working order. Getting to that standard can be expensive. It baulks at twigs and large leaves but given time (quite a lot) cleans to a high standard.
I mean it is in effect a vacuum which somewhat oddly will eventually cover the pool, unless the hose is long enough to hit the steps in which case bits fall off.
It sure is worth saving the time for repeated vacuuming as stuff resettles, but someone in the distribution chain is being greedy.

Th ePool Cleaner sucks

published

I purchased “The Pool Cleaner” about a month ago. It climes the wall and sucks air badly to the point it would damage the pump if let go. I have reduced the suction as much as possible and while not as bad as it was it still sucks. I called the supplier back and he told me to continue adjusting it until I get it so its not sucking. The only way to do this is as per the other reviews and have it not climb the walls. At $850 this is not reasonable and I now don’t quite know what to do with it.

No surface actually on the pool and sucks air like crazy.
