Product and quick response by seller The product was delivered on time and was TOTALLY complete with a long hose, back up device, filter bag and wall attachment. All in black. This item replaced our original Polaris (we call it Dewey after the maintenance drone in the motion picture "Silent Running"). Our local pool supply store would have charged us about 50% more and the availability/delivery date was vague.

Always broken for one reason or another Having a specific pool type or shape can sometimes limit your options when it comes to cleaning so this is the third such device we've bought (all by Polaris and all of this same class). The last one began with the gears somehow breaking and, thus, the wheels wouldn't turn efficiently. Next the tail stopped working which interferes with how it sweeps and pushes in different directions. With this one the hose connection to the wall keeps popping off. We suspect it's broken and will haul... read more

Good quality Good quality cleaner and like that it’s black! I would highly recommend this cleaner. My pool maintenance company suggested it and they installed it for me. Getting the hose length correct.
