Black max Works great and gets stuck less than my original 260. If you have a dark gray or darker pool, it's a must as it disappears in the pool vs. the white and blue one that stands out like a sore thumb.

Best cleaner but needs pressure adjusting. The black max is by far the best cleaner and I have tried many but most applications need water pressure adjusting at the tail to prevent water spraying out excessively. If you have windows nearby they will get soaked. Not good but there is an allen wrench adjustment on the back of unit to turn the pressure down. Turn it down so the tail is just slightly sweeping. Also there is an optional anti spray device that simply snaps on the tail to lessen the spray and I highly recommend thi... read more

Polaris 280 Black Max Ordered on April 4. Received and running in the pool on April 8. Looks great in newly resurfaced peeble sheen pool. The blue and white Polaris stuck out like a "sore thumb". Runs great and does excellent job picking up debris. Love the black bag.

So far, So good. I have only had it operating in the pool a month or so. The last one I had lasted 10 years. So I'd be thrilled if this one lasts as long. My pool company says they should last 5 years. This new one does have a longer hose. I thought a longer hose would tangle up more, but that's not the case. So far, so good.

Works great I bought this model after researching all the different cleaners and it had the most positive reviews. I agree and it's also reasonably priced!!!

Polaris 280 Bought this to replace original Sweep that came with pool and am very happy with the way it picks up all debris.

Polaris Black Max This is our second Black Max--after 10 years of faithful daily service our original one (named Edgar for Edgar Allan Polaris) finally wore out. This is an outstanding pool cleaner that gets top marks for its quietness and efficiency. In another 10 years, I'll buy another one.

Polaris 280 Pool Cleaner This is a nice cleaner. This was a replacement for one that I had previously. This is well priced and does a nice job cleaning the pool in all areas. The bag has a zipper instead of velcro which is a nice improvement.

The Stealth Pool Cleaner! We installed a dark pebble patterned vinyl liner when the old light colored one wore out. The light blue Polaris looked strange on that background and since it was showing its age, we replaced it with a Black Max. The best price we could find was, naturally, from Amazon!It looks great and since it is a Polaris, our pool is always clean!
