I like the gear drive and the 2 jets versus the belt drive on the 180. Cleans the swimming pool in about 3 hours. Just hope this one last as long as the model 180! Simple to install and get started cleaning and no adjustments were required with exception of measuring and cutting the hose to the correct length for my pool. Everything was in the box needed t... read more

    Warehouse deal was excellent! Bought this as an Amazon Warehouse deal and am loving it. It was a replacement for our 16 year-old 280. We took this one straight out of the box and put it in the pool...very little set-up required. The zipper bag on this is larger than our old one and has a bigger mouth for larger trash (like debris from our palm trees). The click lock for the bag is an excellent feature because the old one had a tendency to come unattached from the vacuum. The third wheel (the idler wheel) is a nice addition b... read more

    Basic without all the bells and whistles! PROs Works. Simple design. Easy set up and install. CONs Seems expensive for what it is and length on the market. I would buy it again.

    Better than the other brands I have used This product does exactly what it says it will do. Better than the other brands I have used. I would give it five stars, but it gets its self tangled up almost every day. Not sure why have made adjustments but still mister twister! 

    Business response:

    Zodiac Pool Systems says: Hi Andis, Thank you for your review. There are a few common causes for hose tangling on a pressure cleaner. We recommend confirming proper hose length, proper functioning of the G52 back-up valve, proper hose float positioning, and laying the hose out to dry in the sun for a few hours to reduce any hose memory. Please watch this quick video which addresses the issue: https://youtu.be/BVfc1vK6GRc?list=PL3Fq80t74vvkxHT684MB3odGNMSAQ8F8y You can also reference the 280 product manual found on the Po... read more

    Easy to set up and storage Arrived on time and well packed. Easy to set up and storage. Good quality material. Exactly as described by the seller. It works grate. The hose is the perfect size for pools 30 to 40 feet. Didn’t have to cut it. It does a better job than some more expensive cleaners I had in the past and does not need and extra pump.
