Aqua Products AB Aquabot In-Ground Robotic Swimming Pool Cleaner for Pools Up to 40-Foot Review

We put in an inground pool two years ago and have struggled with keeping it clear the whole time. We just opened the pool up for the year and to our dismay the pool was cloudy and had a layer of white scum on the bottom. THE AQUABOT's instructions were very easy to understand and to follow . We did have to clean the filter frequently for the first few days but I have never seen our pool looking so clear or clean as it looks right now. We had to pour some cement close to the pool and accidentlly got some in the pool ,no problem for the aquabot. We bought another cleaner when we bought the pool and paid almost as much,I wish now we had bought the aquabot instead. As the person who is responsible for cleaning the pool,I am in Love with the Aquabot!!!!!!

Blue Pearl Robotic IG Pool Cleaner With PVA Brushes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live in Miami and I purchased the Blue Pearl about 6 months ago for my in-ground 15 X 30 gunite pool. I use it one to two times a week. I was apprehensive about spending this much money for a pool cleaner, especially when I couldn't find any kind of consistent positive reviews for robotic cleaners in general.
But, even though my pool looks perfect, it is old and plumbing for it has always been marginal. Which makes vacuuming slow with not enough suction to run a typical automatic pool cleaner. So I was forced to consider a more expensive robotic cleaner.
Overall, I have been very happy with my decision to purchase the Blue Pearl. I have gotten plenty of use out of it without any problems and it does a really great job of cleaning if you use it regularly. It has never hung up on the ladder or the steps. It goes to the surface and turns around and goes back down the wall. It will clean my pool in about 1.5-2.0 hours but will shut itself off after 3 hours. To minimize wear and tear, if I am around, I will turn it off when the pool is clean. You are then supposed to let it set for at least 10 minutes to let the motor cool before removing the cleaner. You are also not supposed to leave the cleaner in the pool indefinitly I guess to prevent water getting past the motor seals. The only hassle is cleaning the filter bag which takes about 5 minutes but is still much less than the time to clean the pool your self.
I am sure it is made by the same people that make Aquabot (the warranty address is the same) and most of the components if you look at parts schematics are identical.
I wasn't impressed with quality control however. When I first put my Blue Pearl in the pool, it simply didn't move. I took it out and found that the drive belt and one of the gears wasn't installed correctly. I took it apart, it was a bit of a hassle but easier than returning it, and reassembled it correctly. It then worked perfectly, much to my relief. Still, it shows that company does not test run their products after assembly.
For the average home owner, I see no reason to spend more for some of the other fancier robotic cleaners. This one works great and I would have to say, I would get the Blue Pearl again. Check around as prices vary widely.

iRobot Verro 300 Pool Cleaning Robot Review

iRobot Verro 300 Pool Cleaning Robot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was on the fence about purchasing the IRobot Verro 300 OR the commonly recommended Polaris cleaners.With a $100 off coupon and a 30 day risk free trial, I decided to purchase the Verro 300.We have a large pool (20 x 44)and I was skeptical that this would work. After a couple weeks of using it and at least 3 calls to the technical support line, we decided to keep it and that overall it works very well.Though it isn't written in the manual (I learned this from my phone calls) periodic-filter-bag-cleaning (for my pool anyway) translates to machine wash cleaning after each use. For those of you reading this, buy extra filter bags and keep one clean at all times ready to go.I found the hose method of cleaning the filter bag doesn't work.Instead, I rinse the bag out with the hose and then I run it through the washing machine on the delicate cycle in cold water.It works great--climbs the walls to the tile line and gets both the deep and shallow end of my pool.Each time I use the Robot, it seems to go different patterns.Sometimes it runs vertically and others horizontally.My only complaint is it doesn't get my shallow end steps.Since I know that, I brush the dirt off the steps before using the Robot.

Because the IRobot filters the water, I definitely notice a difference in the water...it appears amazingly clean and we haven't needed to backwash our pool once.After the first couple weeks and learning the hose method doesn't unclogg the filter bag entirely, the Verro 300 cleans my pool in approximately 60-90 minutes.We're very pleased.It takes approximately 2 minutes to set it up and about the same amount of time to clean it when it's finished.

Hayward 700 Diver Dave Above-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner Review

Hayward 700 Diver Dave Above-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't knock Diver Dave for not working with my Intex Above Ground Pool w/Saltwater Pump.His construction seems solid and it's a great concept.However, I could find no information on how well it would work with an Intex Above Ground pool with Saltwater Filter, so posting this review to save others from the time and difficulties.

I would not recommend this with an Intex Above Ground pool system. I would guess it works wonderfully with a pool with a larger pump and true skimmer (based on other reviews), but it doesn't do much for the Intex Pools (in side-wall inlet pump attachment).

I had some minor algea on the bottom of the pool, which stirred up easily if lightly touched. Dave couldn't put a dent into it. Three issues: 1) The attachment to the skimmer means pulling apart the existing skimmer from the side wall and using the cone adapter.It does not fit well and is very cumbersome to keep removing and reinstalling to run the surface skimmer at all. 2) The suction "seems" sufficient, but Dave won't keep his nose down. I believe the depth of the pool doesn't provide enough "upward" hose length and as he travels he tips away from the the bottom and the direction of travel. This could also be due to insufficient suction. 3) No brushes on the bottom. I don't have debris, but fine particles and without brushes, it was still sitting there even if he passed the same section multiple times, nothing to stir it up so to speak.

While the construction and concept seems great, he's probably better suited for pools with true skimmers, deeper water and larger pumps for more suction. Dave went back.

Hayward Pool Vac Ultra 2025CS Automatic Pool Cleaner for Concrete Pools Review

(More customer reviews)
I have had my Hayward pool vac for about 3 years now. This pool cleaner requires constant maintenance. There are so many moving parts and they all wear out and are quite expensive to replace. At this point the pool cleaner just sits in one spot in my pool. I have tried adjusting the settings, rearranging the hose, replacing the feet and adjusting the pool suction. Its time to replace it and I wish I would have done it a long time ago because I have already spent more than what it would cost to replace with repairs.
