If you have an older pool with smaller pipes that clog up, this is a great device to save you from having to call the pool guy to un-clog things.

Two Stars The container keeps twisting sideways which lets in air.

Heads up no short vac hose included and good luck finding it for sale. I have been unable to try this because I cannot find short [2-3 ft] vacuum hose for it. Due to this seeming unavailability seems like this should be part of the purchase. what i'm trying to say is this item is useless without the short length of 1.5 in vacuum hose. I'm thinking that the mfgr must be awere of this problem and had a duty to warn buyers

IT'S EASIER AND FASTER JUST TO EMPTY YOUR PUMP BASKET THIS FILLS UP AND CLOGS FASTER THAN MY PUMP BASKET UPDATE: If anyone wants mine they can have it otherwise it goes in the goodwill pile,I'll bet the pool store doesn't even want... read more

So based on other reviews I had to put a few rocks inside to keep it under water just below the surface for the main seal and so it doesn't tip over to let in air at the bottom if the cleaner sucks in some air and creates an air bubble in the chamber (this will tip it sideways and let in air through the bottom gasket). Not sure if I would buy ... read more

Order Pool Cleaner Leaf Catcher; Get Olive Oil ! Here is one for you. Order a Pool Cleaner Leaf Catcher and get a Bottle of OLIVE OIL. Guess it's just an example of not knowing how to read an order.

Okay but not great. I bought it based on a number of reviews and a need to collect bigger leaves during seasonal change. While device works, it doesn't not filter the smaller debris than my older net based filter. I tried connecting both but that was redundant and reduced the pool vacuum suction power. Also, at times the link adapters loosen up and start sucking air.
