    Avoid at all costs! $1,200 bucks down the drain x2 I have owned 2 of these over the past 2 years and both times ended in disappointment. The first 9550 worked great out of the box but unfortunately, that only lasted for several months. Of note - we only put it in the pool when we need to clean it and then remove it from the water. Got an Error 10 - communication between the control panel and vacuum was lost. Lots of back and forth between Polaris and I - finally, they sent out a new vacuum under warranty which lasted for abo... read more

    Doesn't clean thoroughly I've owned this unit for more than 6 months now. I give this robot an F for cleaning. This robot comes with a pretty sizable collection basket. The inlet to the basket is about 1 inch by 12 inch wide. It doesn't allow the unit to pick up rocks.We don't own a rectangular pool, our pool has different curves and in ground. They advertise this robot with the ability to do our types of pools.We set the robot in and program it to go as long as the timer allows, when we take it out the basket is barely half... read more

    Cleaning? Yes; Robotics? TBD The media could not be loaded. *I will amend this review depending upon problem resolution*I purchased a 9550 Sport model pool vacuum via Amazon a couple of weeks ago and I’m having a problem with the ‘robotic’ part of the the unit- the product cleans fine. I have a 20’ x 40’ plastered inground pool (refinished last summer) so I set up the unit to clean the sides and bottom of the pool. The waterline is set to about 4” below the top of the pool. When I used the unit the first time it would climb ... read more

    Worked well for a couple of month, then fizzled---waiting for Zodiac to respond The media could not be loaded. I bought this cleaner after much research in August of 2019. I like that it is electric, not requiring the pump to run, which greatly facilitates closing the pool. I used it for maybe two months before the pool was closed.In began opening my pool the following April. After a few weeks of flawless functioning, I suddenly had an Error Code #10. I troubleshooted this with the manual and online resources. Finally I call... read more

    Expensive machine, cheap performance- JUNK! I have had a Nautilus Dolphin robot cleaner for four years and it just died, so I asked my local pool store for a recommendation and they recommended this Polaris machine and all I can say is, I am disappointed. The good: The machine is fairly light, the remote control is kinda cool, the filter is very easy to remove and clean, and the machine climbs the walls much better than the Nautilus, which only climbed halfway up the wall most of the time. Unfortunately, the negatives are ou... read more

    Save your money ... seriously Where to begin? I'll keep it brief.I'm actually glad it has completely failed. I can now justify buying another cleaner. You can bet it won't be another Polaris. (Just placed an order for the Dolphin Triton PS, fingers crossed).1) I find it on it's back constantly. My pool is pebble, so the top is scratched big time. It will NOT get thru a 2 hour session without turning over.2) Basket's fall apart, the mesh comes apart where it's glued to the basket, allowing leaves, etc., to escape.3) Cord is a... read more

    Feature Problems; Zodiac Support Lacking I really don't want to write a negative review of the F9550, mainly because as far as cleaning goes, it runs rings around the two Dolphins I had. However, there are features that simply do not work, and the support to deal with those problems is not there. The remote control is difficult to use when it works, but it doesn't work a lot of the time. In fact, to Zodiac's credit, it ultimately replaced my first robot because nothing they suggested could get it to work after sending me 3 n... read more

    Not a year round cleaner - I really tried to make it work Ok today I gave up and decided to move on from my 2 year old Polaris F9550. It still works and does a good job cleaning, when it is cleaning, but I find that I now work for the Polaris Pool Cleaner. I purchased it at the start of spring a couple of years ago and it worked great. Then winter came and I started to have a few issues. The unit would turtle over and not be able to right itself. The tangle free cord started to tangle a little. Annoying but not a deal breake... read more

    2nd Polaris cleaner that stopped working. Warranty not honored - BEYOND disappointed I’m beyond disappointed. This is my second Polaris cleaner. The first one lasted about 3 summers, the second didn’t even last 2 full summers. I bought the 9300 and after many visits for repairs, (the wheels continually falling off and the cable stopped working), I finally decided to upgrade to the 9550. I bought it brand new in late September 2016 from Amazon.To its credit, I didn’t have the same issues with continual repairs on the new mach... read more
