    It would be the perfect test. NOTHING AT ALL I went on a business trip for a couple months. It took longer than I had expected and when I came back. I connected the Polaris to the pool system and NOTHING, the wheels where moving in 1 inch intervals. So I thought it might be the pump. I gave it to my brother to connect in his pool. Because his pool uses a Polaris. It would be the perfect test. NOTHING AT ALL. Stay Away. No refunds

Not sure if I installed wrong, however this Polaris does not like to drive across the center of the pool as it stays on the edges and climbs the walls and gets stuck frequently. We have adjusted everything possible and nothing has corrected the issue.

    Vac Sweep stopped working after just a few weeks and repair is still not complete over a month later! While it worked well at the start, the gears seized up a little after a month. As it is under warantee I brought it in for repair and was told it should take about 5 days, that was over a month ago and I'm still waiting. Now that we are at the end of the season I'm sorry i ever made this purchase.

    I bought this pool cleaner less than a year ago ... I bought this pool cleaner less than a year ago and it was advertised on Amazon as "NEW". It worked okay the second half of Summer 2016, however, this year it is moving very slowly. I opened it up and found lots of silicone rubber around the internal hose connections. This is definitely not NEW, but maybe a Polaris reject that someone patched up with silicone rubber so it would not leak internally!!!!! I think that this is false advertising and think that Amazon ought to re... read more

    The review says it will not get stuck behind the ... The review says it will not get stuck behind the ladders, but will back itself out. I've seen it back out once, since then I've had to pull it back myself 

    Business response:

    Dear Douglas, We're sorry to hear the 380 cleaner is getting hung up on your ladder. Here are some tips to improve the issue: 1. Check the wheel RPMs. 2. Verify the backup valve is cycling. Lift the valve out of the water and watch the jet. It should come on and turn off. 3. Adjust the thrust jet. 4. Install a ladder guard (part # G21) We hope those suggestions help.

    Polaris 380 has worked well for me This is my second Polaris 380. The last one lasted 14 years and over those years I did need to replace a back up valve which was damaged because I did not drain it properly and it froze and cracked over the winter. I live in Utah and so the cleaner was generally used 2 hours per day from mid May until mid Sept. each year. I would also like to say that I have the original booster pump that has lasted 28 years. If a persons pool was open all year, I would not expect it to last that long. The ... read more

    Dear Amazon Customer, Thank you for sharing such valuable feedback and details with other pool owners. We're glad you found the hose installation videos helpful and you are correct, proper hose sizing does prevent hose tangling! This is important to note and for other's reference, here is the address to the hose sizing video: https://youtu.be/BVfc1vK6GRc?list=PL3Fq80t74vvkxHT684MB3odGNMSAQ8F8y We will keep your comments in mind for future product developments and improvements to our manuals.

    Used it for one season. Tried it this season ... Used it for one season. Tried it this season and the gears are shot. It costs over $650 with tax. Something this expensive should last more than a few months. This is the second one that I've bought and I think it's shameless that such a poorly constructed product is offered at such a cost.
