The 280 is a work house. Had the previous one for 12 years. Replaced a few minor parts over the years but it always worked well. Made sense to replace with the same model, as the reviews are still good. The new one plugged in and took off cleaning with no adjustment needed. 

Business response:

Thank you for your wonderful review, Deborah! We appreciate you and hope you enjoy your clean pool. Cheers, Your Polaris Team

Purchased the Polaris 280 Black Max from Wal-Mart a few weeks ago to replace an old 280. No problem with purchase and delivery.

We switched it for our old Polaris hose float and it's working ok. A few days later the wall hose connector on the new Polaris broke. I called Polaris customer service and they promptly sent a new part. Good customer service. I ... read more

This pool shark as we call it is ok. It seems to to the job but has had to have parts replaced. It spits out water often and gets stuck. Overall I would rate it as ok.

I have been using the Polaris 280 for 2 weeks now and love the product. I did go on YouTube before installing to learn some tricks from other users to make it work better, like measuring the length of the hose and adding a simple clasp to not have the bag get stuck under the wheels. Works like a charm. 

Business response:
