Seagull 1500

I do not write a lot reviews but this thing really sucks.... but in a great way. I've researched a lot of robot cordless vacuums and this had great ratings at a great price. I was so excited to use it that i dropped it in the water as soon as I got it out of the box. The battery was fully charged apparently because it ran for over an hour and I pulled it out before the battery ran low. We do not have a lot of dirt or debris in our pool because we have no trees around the house and the pool is under a screened enclosure. I recently pumice stoned the tile and had already brushed the pool and cleaned out the filter. I was skeptical that the system would clean up sand particle sediment but this thing scrubs the bottom and sucks way better than i expected. I was also skeptical that it would climb the pool walls. Wrong again... we have 8 foot walls in the deep end and this thing climbs the whole wall and scrubs the tile border of the pool. When i pulled it out i was pleasantly surprised to see how much sediment the unit sucked into its filter. I'm excited to use this weekly and report more later but happy to endorse this product just hours after receiving it. Quality seems great and performance is outstanding.

I have a 10,000 gallon kidney shaped pool. Shallow side is 3.5 feet deep. Deep side is 6 feet deep. The bottom isn't flat and it curves up on the sides from bottom to top.I'm experienced with maintaining a pool. I have a System 3 diatomaceous earth filter that has 53 sq ft of filter space. Run the pump 12 hours a day at 2200rpm to achieve balance between energy usage and turning the pool over (happens about every 3 hours according to the math).I loath hauling out my pole, sweeper, filter canister, and connecting all of this to the pump via the skimmer to vacuum the floor and sides of my pool. Take too long, too many nuances. Been doing it this way for decades. I figured technology could make it easier for me. Aside - I don't use an auto vacuum since I have dogs that swim all the time. Don't want them to catch a hose and drown.The main things that litter my floor are dog hair, sand / crushed granite from nearby paths, material from the roof of my house, leaves from many trees, and DE powder from when I spray the filters after vacuuming (backs out thru the line).I grew up swimming in creeks so having a perfectly clean pool isn't my goal. I just know I need to clean it from time to time in order to keep algae from forming. In general, I keep my DE filter clean by back washing once a month, I vacuum the floor about once a month, and I skim weekly.I finally decided to try one of the automated, cordless vacuums. These are the ones I tried.POOL BLASTER Max CG, $299https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002L61OGAPaxcess Cordless Robotic Cleaner, $318.09https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088JWRWGMAIPER Cordless Automatic Pool Cleaner, $876.81https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KY211BPWinner was the Pool Blaster.Paxess- Filter screen is about 180µm which wasn't able to catch all the DE (DE is generally less than 100µm in size). The unit blew much of the DE back into the water. It did filter some.- Wasn't strong enough to climb up from my deep end so it remained in the deep end.- I felt the Paxess performed better than the Aiper in my pool. Might not for yours.- Charging was easy. Battery worked fine. Lasted about an hour.Aiper- Filter screen was much too big. Couldn't catch DE nor sand. Manufacturer didn't disclose size of filter. Blew debris right back into pool.- Unit claims to climb up walls. Mine didn't. It would attempt to climb it, back flip, then try again...over and over as it worked around the pool. Very odd behavior.- Charging was easy. Battery worked fine. Lasted about an hour.Pool Blaster Max CG- I really like this tool. It's different than the robots. It's a self contained, battery operated, cordless device. But, you attach it to the end of your pole.- I'm used to using a pole to work on my pool and I like the exercise of using my legs, arms, and core.- So, this tool really spoke to me.- Comes with 2 filters: one for general debris and one for super fine stuff like DE. The DE one is excellent! It captured all of my DE. However, I had to empty it after every length of the pool (short length of about 6 feet). I had to empty it about 30 times in order to clean all the DE off the entire bottom of my pool. This sucked (<-- pun)- So, I modified my approach. I turned up my pool motor to max RPM and scrubbed the pool to get the DE in solution. Then the next day I vacuumed with the general filter. This seemed to greatly help but it wasn't perfect.- So, I reset my expectations and my process. The next time I sprayed the filters in my DE bubble, I emptied the bubble into my sewer line of my house (very easy and fast for me to do). I don't run backwash / pool water waste to my yard because the chlorinated water damages my trees and vegetation. Then, I capped my line that goes back to my pool. Spray quickly. Then reassemble and I'm done.- Now, when I use the Pool Blaster, I can use the general filter basket and I can vacuum the whole pool in 30 min. Doing it the old way with the hose, vacuum head, canister, etc used to take 2 hours because of how many times I had to stop and tend to the nuances. I also had to backwash / clean the filters in the DE bubble to avoid algae building up in the bubble- Emptying the filter of the pool blaster is super fast. Take me less than 2 min. I shake it out into a bucket, then I rub it while dunking it into the skimmer. Then back to work.Suggestion to Pool BlasterIf they had a filter that was in between the size of the fine one and the general one, it'd be even better.Overall, I'm happy with the Pool Blaster.I'm happy that the time to done is 30 min vs 2 hours. And, I don't have to clean my DE filter after vacuuming the pool to avoid algae building up in the DE canister. The Pool Blaster is a completely separate tool which means my DE filter remains untouched and hence I don't have to clean it every time. We live in a hot, humid environment so fighting algae is always a thing.

Are you tired of having a dirty pool this pool cleaner works awesome it’s very easy to use takes care of the bottom of the pool and also the sides excellent suction power I’ve been using this for a few weeks and I’ve noticed that my pool is now clean it is wireless and cordless so you do not have to worry about any of it highly recommended if you have an inground pool you will not be disappointed

I did lots of research - and decided on the Aiper Cordless Robot Pool Vacuum. Product arrived in good shape, read the instructions, charged it over night and gave it a try. Things I love.. Cordless - no hasling with a power cord or tangles in the pool. 90min battery - perfect for small to mid sized pools - I have a 15x30 and 90 min charge is sufficient. Easy clean up - pull the filter basket, hose it off - done. Wall cleaning - huge.... it climbs the walls and cleans the scum line! Rotating brush with vacuum suction... so it discourages algae growth while cleaning. Weight - not to heavy, no need for a cart or dolly... I can lift it with one hand. Handles pool drain covers and comes with additional buoyancy pads if needed - my pool drain covers are pretty standard and though there might be an issue, but so far I haven't needed to add the buoyancy pads. Controls - simple, easy. Filter basket - living near the beach sand is a concern.. honestly the filter basket is just right, even when the pool looks clean it manages to collect debris in the basket and it is easy to remove, rinse and reinstall. Dislikes - probably too early, but not a lot of bad things to say. I do worry that battery life may erode over time, 90 mins of charge is good. Short power charging cable. It is just long enough to plug into a wall outlet at chest height - if the unit is right against the wall directly under the plug -easy to solve with extension cord and not really a big issue. Doesn't do steps, windows, fold laundry or make a good cup of tea, but it makes for a great cordless pool vacuum! Overall - very satisfied so far!!

The media could not be loaded. I did some research and ended up with this automatic pool cleaner. My pool is not too big and therefor felt that a battery operated pool robot would work. So far so good! It's been a few weeks and it works great. It goes up the wall and cleans the water line, and does a decent job. All I need to do is drop it in the pool, clean the tank (so easy) and recharge it. Water gets at the base of the plug so I am being careful before recharging it to dry the area. It does not work on the steps but most pool robots don't work for those. No cords to untangle, loving it!!I'll update if anything changes.
