Purchased 2 of these, one for my son(Southern New Mexico) and one for my other son's in-laws(Houston Area). Super easy to use and clean! Run it at least once a day and sweep 2-3 times a week, leaves little or need to run the big, awkward vacuum. Haven't had this long enough to make it through the fall season yet, but this vacuum has paid for it self over and over again, if you value your time and effort at all. Pics below are from each pool. Buy it, you won't regret it!!!

I had a pole attached battery vacuum and was only able to do so much. I also had the attachment to the pump kind but used alot of wasted water to get dirt and leaves out of the pool. I run this aiper vacuum every few days and takes the 30 minutes to an hour I would spend cleaning into less then a 1 minute to click power button and let it run till it dies and hook it out and rinse to waste pan. ( mine came with hook attachment )

This thing does a great job. I have a 26 foot circle above ground pool and it does the job.

It worked great for about 3 weeks then it would not hold its charge. I love Best Buy and their warranty plan, without that I would be hesitant to try new products

Ran only a few times. Stopped working. Somehow, not due to misuse, the water entered the unit. I sent it in, they sent it back- it worked once and didn’t turn on after the first charge. It was never dropped or damaged in any way.
