    Have been using a Polaris for years. This was a replacement. Works better than last one. My pool service charged me $695.00 plus tax yet I see it much lower on your site and Amazon. Model ( 280) How do I handle this? 

    Business response:

    Hi Sandra, Thank you for the positive review and for being a loyal Polaris customer! As the manufacturer of the product we don't sell directly to customers, so we don't set the final purchase price. Prices will vary at different stores/online retailers. We recommend discussing your charge with the pool professional you purchased your cleaner from. If there’s anything else we can do to help, please let us know. Enjoy your clean pool! Your Polaris Team

    Brand new unit just installed April 2021. The hose frequent detaches from unit in multiple places, requiring me to re-attach. Tail discharge fitting broke off as well. Wheel came loose and fell off. Called customer service multiple times and never heard back. Terrible experience all around. 

    Business response:

    The line is constantly tangling or getting caught, water spews out of the pool from it and has to be replaced. Lines constantly coming apart. I have never had as many problems until this unit.

    We have used a Polaris 280 for 32 years in our concrete pool. Had to change parts over the years. Finally it was time for a new pool cleaner and there is still no better choice than the .280.So we got another one & sure enough, it works great

    Be very wary of the "rebates" they offer. I purchased a vacuum and was told by the salesman that I could take advantage of the $200 rebate they were offering. I followed all of the instructions on the rebate and mailed it in to only get an email saying my purchase did not qualify. I requested a reason I did not qualify and still no response. I'm not sure if it's Polaris or the Salesman at Leslie's pool store that lied but be vary wary when dealing with either company. 

    Business response:

    Hello Scott, We're sorry you're having issues with your rebate, and we will have a representative reach out to you. All the Best, Your Polaris Team
