Zodiac Baracuda G4 InGround Swimming Pool Cleaner New! Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research on a pool cleaner and bought this. It was a big mistake. You have to have the pressure on the intake just the perfect amount for the temperature of the pool to get it to work.With filters and pool lines, they are never the same pressure so it quits working. It gets caught in corners and on stairs.Also the hoses get "memory" twisted.I look out my back window constantly seeing my expensive Barracuda just sitting there while the neighbors have a beautiful pool with a cheaper cleaner just making laps around their pool.

Hoover U5753-900 WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Freakn' Bagless Hoover Windtunnel:

1.There are two filters that need to be changed every 6-12 months (yah, right...more like every three months) and they cost oh, between $38-$50 depending on where you can find them...Wal-Mart? No, they don't carry this type...Target? If you are really lucky.Sears carries them, for about $49.00 a pop...and that is just one filter...you need 2.
2.You can't empty these puppies in the house because you have to tap (more like beat) the filter on the side of the garbage can and dust goes EVERYWHERE, YUCK!So, what do you do?You take it outside to beat it in the garbage can, then with the smallest gust of wind you are covered, COVERED, I'm talking an abominable brown snowman, with dust and dead spiders and anything else you sucked up thinking it was gone forever.
3.The screen...yes, not only the filter needs to be cleaned after EVERY...and I mean with EVERY use..there is this fancy little screen that you have to pull up and pick the caked on "microdust" off of and what do you use to do that????Well, if you are on the ball (which I rarely am) you remembered your small wire brush...but if you didn't you can't really run back in the house holding this nasty dirty thing flinging yuck all over your house...so, you use your finger nail, yes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
4.It burns through belts...twice a year at least (they either break or stretch) not a huge expense, but a lame and time consuming one.
5.It looses suction, bad, after about 10-15 minutes of vacuuming, and then you have to do the whole filter cleaning all over again.
6.The attachment hose pops out ALL THE TIME.SO, you either learn to vacuum holding the hose down and in...or (more probably) you get it in there really good and pray it doesn't come out and resolute to never touch it again.
7.BOTTOM LINE:I have had this Windtunnel for about 2 years, I was not impressed the first time I used it...furious the first time I had to empty it...but I thought, well, maybe it will grow on me....Um, No.I actually stopped vacuuming, I hated it, I hated the waste of time for practically no reward, I hated the dust everywhere, I hated the expense, don't waste your time, money and sanity.
8.Okay, with all that said, I purchased a sweet little vacuum from Wal-mart a few months ago, and I have been waiting to find something wrong with it to pop up but I has not been disappointing yet.I have gone through 1 bag, (I vacuum almost everyday with 2 toddlers), but the bags are really compact I was surprised how much they hold.The light went off to change the bag and it took a whole, oh, 30 seconds for the whole process, the dirt was gone, in the garbage, just like that.And the suction is amazing.Go get this vacuum, today.Do not waist anymore brain cells on a bagless. !!!GE 12 AMP, 2 motor, home cleaning system!!!It's a canister and sucks like...well, something that sucks really, really great!Lol, I actually love to vacuum, really!Plus, the best part...it is only a little over $100.00 and it has a filter but it comes free with the bags.Cool. Get this vacuume today...now...go!

Eureka 8851AVZ Capture Plus Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one heavy vacuum and it has a louder than usual noise, a pitch that hurt my ears.However, the amount of dust and lint in the canister was amazing and the "power paw" is great for stairs and furniture and the duster is really a nice feature.The way it cleans itself is so cool.Overall, I'd say this is a great vacuum, but he noise and weight take away a few stars.

Hoover U6436-900 TurboPower Self-Propelled WindTunnel Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought the Hoover Windtunnel U6436-900 (TurboPower 7600) to replace my old Hoover Windtunnel U6445-920 (Mach 6.9) which was "giving up the ghost" after 6 years of flawless service.I could have had the old vacuum fixed for less than half of what the new one cost, but I decided to turn back the clock and invest in a new vacuum.

The new U6436 is almost exactly the same as my old Hoover except that it stores tools on the back of the vacuum and now has room up front for the power attachment.Hoover Windtunnel is definitely as loud as ever too.That's because it's actually doing something.It's amazing how much suction these vacuums have when the bag is empty.By the time the bag is full, I estimate that suction decreases by 25%...which is still more than adequate by the way.

I compared the U6436 side-by-side with the Eureka TheBoss 4870GZ that my inlaws have.The Hoover beats the Eureka pretty solidly in power and ease of push thanks to the self propel feature. It really glides along like it is on iceskates or something...almost effortless.Since the Hoover costs 33% more, this is to be expected.The Eureka is quieter, and that's about it.

The product manual that came with the U6436 indicates that it has a 2 year warranty.I've seen conflicting reports on this on various other sites, but it is definitely 2 years...

A famous consumer magazine ranks this vacuum near the top, and I agree.I have owned Hoover Windtunnel for quite awhile now, and they are reliable and do a great job.The bags are cheap too, usually around $7-$8 for 3 of them.

In short, I highly recommend this vacuum.

Product Description:
Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this self-propelled bagged upright vacuum cleaner delivers exceptional performance and virtually effortless cleaning in both forward and reverse modes. The unit's 15-inch-wide cleaning path helps get the job done quickly, while its patented WindTunnel technology provides a powerful dual air stream for enhanced dirt pickup and removal. In addition, dual edge groomers loosen and remove dust, dirt, and lint that collect along baseboards, and the variable height settings and on/off brush-roll control allow for switching from bare floors to carpets with ease. When the handle returns to its upright, locked position, the brush roll automatically shuts off and the unit directs all its power to tool suction. On-board tools include a crevice tool, an upholstery nozzle, a dusting brush, and two extension wands. Its deluxe stretch hose extends up to 11-feet when using both wands and the crevice tool. Even more, its on-board powered hand tool works great for vacuuming upholstered furniture, carpeted stairs, and hard-to-reach places. The unit also comes with allergen filtration that captures 100-percent of dust mites and 99.98-percent of ragweed and common grass pollens. Other highlights include a textured handle grip, fingertip "on/off" control, a full-width headlight to illuminate dark corners, a non-marking furniture guard, a check-bag indicator, a 31-foot power cord with quick-cord release, and a carrying handle for easy transport. The vacuum cleaner measures 13 by 15 by 43 inches and carries a two-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Nitro Robotic Pool Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was originally only looking at robots that could climb walls. I settled on a dolphin but when I learned that the pool place would have to order it I decided to keep shopping (I was looking for instant pool gratification). The person at another pool place recommended the nitro.

I wasn't all that price sensitive and told him I just wanted something that worked well. He had an $1100 Dolphin climber in stock (same one the first place tried to order for me) and also the nitro. He told me that the nitro was hands down superior which I found interesting because he was recommending the cheaper of his products.

The main issue is that the nitro doesn't climb but realistically it takes about 60 seconds to brush the sides of the pool so that it all falls to the bottom. This didn't turn out to be as much of an issue as I thought.

The carrier was a bit of a pain to put together (the parts aren't interchangeable so make sure you have things set up right before putting the caps on the axle).

As far as the actual robot (as opposed to its cart) there is no assembly. You just plug it in (while off) and throw it in the pool. I have a 9ft deep pool badly in need of a cleaning. It is so murky that you can't actually see the bottom yet.

The nitro gathered a tightly packed bad of sludge on its first 2hr run. I figured out how to clean it without reading the instructions. On run two it got about half as much stuff as run one (not surprising since I was scrubbing and filtering during run one. I'm currently on run three. It moves slowly enough that it doesn't disturb the bottom all that much and does a far better job than I would have patience to do. It is great to be able to filter/skim and vaccum as the same time. I'd definitely recommend this product. It works great and for $600 was almost half the cost of the dolphin climber which I'm now glad I didn't buy.

Euro-Pro NV31 Infinity Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Care System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well that's what I thought too.I thought my husband was nuts (or just trying to be cheap) when he told me about this vac. I really wanted the Dyson Animal. I have to say... I am very glad I listened to him and checked it out.
I spent the day yesterday shampooing and vacuuming my 1600 SF house.Today I decided I needed to replace my previous vac, because I am sick of taking the screwdriver out and taking it apart to remove the clogs.So I went out shopping and came home with this unit.
I have re-done my whole house and I was shocked at how much this thing picked up.It almost made me blush, because I thought my house was clean!!It proved me wrong!I have 2 chihuahuas and 2 love birds to clean up after (Oh yeah, and a husband!)
I love this vac, and for half the price of the Dyson that I have been wanting FOREVER, I say get this and go get yourself something really nice with the extra money that is left.

Dolphin Diagnostic Robatic Pool Cleaner Residential Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my Dolphin Diagnostic four years ago at our local Leslie's. I had a Kreepy Krauly which worked fairly well but, since my pool has only one skimmer inlet, the surface wouldn't get adequately skimmed when the KK was being used (even with the KK skimmer plate which allowed for some skimming while vacuuming). While we don't have many trees in West Texas, any that are shed seem to end up in my pool ;-)

I have been completely satisfied with the Dolphin. In the four years I have owned it I have needed only two repairs -- the first about 2 years ago was done under warranty and required sending the Dolphin to a repair station. This winter my Dolphin stopped moving and I tracked (pun intended) the problem to a worn drive track. I was able to fix this myself after ordering the correct parts.

While not having many trees, West Texas does have a lot of dust and wind. Prior to the Dolphin it was a battle to keep the pool clean but now it remains sparkling. I don't know why the previous two reviewers have had such problems, but mine covers the entire pool without difficulty. You do need to pay attention to the flow in the pool since that can affect the Dolphin's cleaning pattern. I tend to run it at least every other day throughout the year since we don't close our pool for the winter.

I've noticed two fringe benefits to the Dolphin. First, the agitation from the upward stream from the pump (especially when it is at the top of its climb of a wall) helps move surface debris and the skimmer is more effective. Second, since the collection bag microfilters the water, I only have to backwash my filter about one tenth as often as previously. This saves time, work, water, and chemicals.

Four years ago I paid about $850 for the Dolphin. This is my 5th season of use. Amortized at less than $200 per year this has been a great investment for me. My only regret is not having spent the extra money for the model with remote control. Sometimes there is an area - usually at the shallow end - that I want to clean first.

O.K., you do have to clean the bag but that is not much of a chore. I just dump the debris in the trash and then spray the bag with a hose to remove the dirt. Actually, there are disposable bags available and I did purchase some to use in the winter but they are rather expensive so I prefer the bag cleaning route.

I have recommended the Dolphin to friends and I would buy another.

Above Ground Vacuum Pool Cleaning Maintenance Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works ok.A little pricey for what you get, but it does the job. Use a fresh cartridge to get maximum flow, and be sure to let all the air out of the hose before plugging in. The filter (bottom valve to remove airpockets from hose, top to remove air in the filter chamber). The part that fits into the strainer gets stopped up with Six leaves and the little vacuum bag needs to be emptied. I have to move more SLOWY than I would like to get it all. It is worth the time to collect all the leaves before starting. If you can see the stuff on the bottom, there is more of it then there should be! I had to change filters after the first go it was worse then I imagened. the flow through the old dirty filter was almost stopped.
Dont leave the hose in the pool, it will take you under! Definitely a hazard for little ones.

Baracuda G3 Automatic Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We'd had a Haywaward Pool Vac for many years, but the constant replacing of parts was costing us over $100 a year.

The Baracuda cleans okay, but it is not as good as the Hayward was since it does not seem to hit all areas of the pool. A relative has the same Baracuda cleaner and the same problem, so it is not something with our setup or pool, it is a cleaner fault. Again, though, the cleaning is okay with the Baracuda - it is better than nothing.

The real fault in the Baracuda G3 (and presumably G4) is that the cleaner gets stuck on the main drain if the main drain is an anti vortex raised drain. Rounded main drain covers are available for purchase (at about $60 each) to help the cleaner go over the main drain, but many people have had problems with those products staying down over the drain.When I called Baracuda for help, they admitted they were aware of this issue. They said it was due to my 'non standard' pool design, but my 'non standard' pool design is soon to be required by building code, so Baracuda should get their act together and come up with a solution.

Also annoying is the fact that Baracuda is aware that they have issues with certain drain covers, but NO WHERE in their literature did they say that. In other words, let the people buy it and then find out it does not work right in their pool.

Because it gets stuck randomly, and I do not babysit my pool cleaner, the return period had passed by the time I realized the problem. Baracuda would not help, so I am stuck with a cleaner that does not work according to Baracuda's advertising. The cleaner is still under warranty, but they say it works as designed, so they won't help.

We did our homework about this pool cleaner before purchase, but this problem was not publicized anywhere. So, to others, if you have or plan on getting raised, anti vortex, main drains (and you should, for safety reasons), AVOID the Baracuda G3 and G4 cleaners.

Note that our previous Hayward Pool Vac, in our same alleged 'non standard' pool, never had this problem. I guess the extra money in maintenance is worth it for a product that does not need babysitting.

Even if you don't have that type of drain, I'd avoid Baracuda products just due to poor customer service.
