    So glad I bought this! I wish i would have bought this years ago. After 9 years of replacing part after part on my Phantom I finally said enough is enough and bought this instead. It is Awesome! It never gets stuck on the stairs and does a great job the only thing i would recommend is buying extra spongy end pieces mine wore down in about 5 months of use.

    The best Polaris made to-date. I have done a lot of research on the Polaris, as my old 280 was starting to die. The newer versions don't get good reviews. This model is the gold standard. Worked perfect out of the box. One note, the nuts that hold the tubing on the connectors are not intuitive, turn them the opposite way you think to remove them when you adjust the size of the hose to fit your pool. The manual included is basic enough to get you started, for anything more detailed you must refer to the full manual on a URL.
