About this business
Faulty sweeper - never really worked It kind of worked, but never worked properly. For example, the sweep kind of hovered a bit above the pool floor so never really was able to pull in all the leaves at the bottom. It also seemed under-powered and was unable to move through parts of the pool that our prior pool sweep had no problem. Our professional pool guys said it was pretty much faulty throughout. Unfortunately looks like can only be returned within a month and we've now had it for two months.
Was charge a 100% restocking fee. Buyer beware Shipping was very fast and delivered on time. There was no extra packing in the box and the unit seamed to be ok. After running the item for about ten days the plastic broke and the unit stopped working. I followed all the instructions for returning the item for a refund. Be aware of this company restocking fee's. They charge a 100% restocking for for a broken item that I returned. I have reached out to customer service and have not heard back from them.

Arrived with wheel broken off. Also happened to my neighbor. Opened up the package and one of the wheels had broken off. I saw this model at my neighbor's pool and he said it worked well. So I ordered the same one. When I told me neighbor about the broken wheel, he said he had the same problem. Cannot comment on how well it works yet as waiting for product to get fixed.
Item arrived with two of three wheels broken off Item was broken
Floats, does not settle on pool floor I bought The Polaris 280 to replace my Legend pool cleaner. I have had it in the pool for 32 weeks and I don't think it has ever had its wheels on the floor of my pool. It seems to float about 18" above the floor. Very disappointed with it. Would not recommend.
Missing hose Wheels did not turn, so no movement in pool. My husband was super frustrated. Then, I Compared old cleaner to new & the hose to generate the turning of the wheels was completely missing. Instead of returning, we utilized hose off our old cleaner & added to new one.
Disappointed I already wrote an email regarding the 2 black max i bought both having issues and as it turns out, my supply house is over $50 less
Arrived defective When this Polaris pool vac arrived it arrived defective. The right side wheel was loose and would not engage with the drive rod. When I contacted Amazon they said they were not able to exchange it because the price had gone up and they could only give me a refund. I sent it back and purchased it on another site, which was less expensive and worked perfectly right out of the box. Never heard of a company of Amazon’s size refusing to exchange a product because the price went up, especially when it was a $30 d... read more
Truly terrible product I have owned more than four of these in the last 10 years for my home and rental properties. These devices are awful. The one in my rentals work better because that pool is old and has no benches or steps to contend with to get caught on. The one in my pool at home is so terrible. My pool has four benches a toddler area, and a set of steps. The Polaris can’t handle any of it. The stupid thing knots itself up in the corner three times a day. I have replaced all the swivels, the backup valve, top housing... read more
