POOL BLASTERCentennial Cordless Pool Vacuum w/Pole Set - XL Debris Capacity & Advanced Filtration, Handheld Rechargeable Pool Cleaner for Sand, Silt & Leaves in Inground & Above Ground Pool

I have a 16ft x 32ft in-ground pool surrounded by cement and with a sand filter. My normal vacuum that attaches to skimmer, does not pick up sand from filter or the grit that comes off the cement. You also can not tell what is being vacuumed or just kicked up into the water with the traditional vacuum through skimmer. This Pool Blaster unit picked up A TON of my sand and fine dirt, i saw it when i cleaned the cannister and filter cone (which is very simple to do). On one charge, I was able to vacuum the whole pool twice, close to an hour of time. The pole it comes with is for shallow water, but a traditional skimmer / brush pole can easily attach for the deep end, which mine is 8ft. With a traditional vacuum, you cannot tell when you lose suction, but with this vac, you can feel the pole vibrate slightly until battery runs out. This vacuum is perfect for clean-ups and "hard to suck up" debris.

We love this vacuum!!! Will never go back to one hooked up to filter. The fact you can get in water sweep and clean out with hose is worth it over struggling with hose and suction. Can get about a full 45min clean before dead, charges with in couple hours, picks up everything and more that isn't seen with the eye. Handy for kids to use and swim under while doing it.

I should have just bought this the first time. I initially saw it but decided to try and save $60 and go with a pool robot that had decent reviews. If you're on the edge like I was, just buy the dang thing.Being new to the pool world this season, we didn't want to purchase a vacuum that cost almost as much as the pool itself. Our pool is fairly close to a tree line and we kept getting a bunch of small seedlings in the pool along with pollen and leaves.Overall, this vacuum works very well. It got up all the decayed leaves that had accumulated while waiting on this to arrive. Not just the leaves, but the gross, slimy bits that had decayed and fallen to the pool floor. It got up the seedlings floating around and even smaller sticks. It has a pretty decent size canister but why I didn't give it a 5 star review is because the filter gets impacted with all the yuck before the canister itself fills. Fresh, larger leaves can also get stuck in the entry tube causing loss of suction. I had to empty the canister about 3 times (18ft round pool) to clear off the filter to allow for full suction to recommence. Granted, the pool was overdo for a cleaning as the other vacuum hadn't worked properly and we had to order and wait on this to arrive. Either way, the filter getting clogged does impact the suction power, and if you have quite a few leaves hanging around the pool floor, they'll likely get stuck trying to vacuum them all up. The pole, while plastic, worked just fine. It didn't bend or break while being used. Only down side, it doesn't reach to the center of the pool if standing outside it. Had to use our adjustable, aluminum pole for that.Charging was pretty quick, easy indication light to know when it's fully powered. If using regularly, 45 minutes should give plenty of time for cleaning an 18' or smaller pool. If a large storm comes through and blows a ton of leaves, pollen, and sticks into the bottom, you might need to recharge before getting your pool back to normal.

I see why this has great reviews. It's light weight; easy to use; easy to clean (huge plus for me); stays charged long enough to get the job done (for me anyway bout 45 min I'd guess) and was fairly intuitive to assemble. I did not use the poles that come with it as others said they are flimsy. (They do seem a bit wobbly even though I have not use them). I just use my pole that I skim with. This is not a vac to use for huge debris pieces but for the day to day stuff (leaves; dirt; small sticks etc) that fall into the pool, it works wonderfully. I have a lot of trees surrounding my pool and the last two nights we had storms. I vacc'd the debris today after skimming the larger parts. I have to use a ladder to work my way around pool since I have an above ground but it's light weight enough that it's still easy to use. It will be even easier to use once the water is warm enough to actually get in the pool bc it's a little harder to keep the head of the vac on the floor (tends to want to float) when cleaning from outside of the pool . This is no fault of the unit...if it stayed on the ground, it would probably be too heavy for me to work with. Once inside pool, I can walk with it and it will always be on the floor of the pool. See photos of how easily the hose cleans the cone. No rubbing, no touching, just spraying it does the job. This was for sure what I have needed for several years (I didn't know they existed). No messing around with hose; no cords; no cannisters; no skimmer socks etc. EZ PZ

I bought this on July 11th, 2023, and this is our third year with it. It cleans our inflatable hot tub amazingly, and our 18x42 intex easy set pool. Have had zero problems with it! Its great for sand, algae, and those pesky backswimmers or boatmen! We got a second one as a gift that same year for Christmas but have yet to have to break it open because this thing is so amazing! Would 100% purchase again!
