cleans the pool perfectly

| This is a good product. the only problem is that all of the internal parts are plastic (which don't last long). My last Hayward I used to take apart and relpace parts, such as the A-frame, almost weekly. And the parts are very expensive. So, it cleans the pool beautifully but it is not built to last. And do not buy your replacement parts from Leslie's Pool supply because these parts were really poor quality and would last a month (at the MOST) before needing replacement. Hope this helps. |
Great experience for 4 years running

My Hayward has been running daily for about 7 hours a day for 4 years. I've had to replace the feet and flappers a couple of times due to expected wear, but this is a simple matter either DIY or at a local Pinch-A-Penny store.
After some unusual situations where debris like rocks have entered the pool, it's seized up inside, but it's not that hard to take it apart and clean. Otherwise I haven't had the same wear & replacement issues other posters have mentioned. (My pool is under screen, so maybe that helps.)
Other than tossing in chemicals, this has reduced pool maintenance to sweeping the side of the pool about once a month or less.
For me, this product's performance has been outstanding. |
Great, but kind of high maintenance

| This is really a great vacuum and the only one that will clean our kidney shaped pool properly. However, as the other reviewer notes there are little parts that need repair/replacement often. On the other hand, given that mine runs on concrete 8 hours/day year round it is probably reasonable that the parts that are in contact with the concrete wear down. |
