The basket is not big enough to hold anything and it would not stand straight when deployed and the attachments it came with with were shoddy at best. I would not recommend buying this item! Now it has been past the 30-days and with all the headaches and we can't return. Go with a differen... read more

I guess if your pool is already clean and doesn't need to be vacuumed it would work fine, but I was hoping to use this as a way to vacuum up stuff from the bottom of the pool. For that job, this does not work.

it can turn on its side and suck air, potential damaging your pump canister not weighted so if it's not just right, it can turn on its side and suck air, potential damaging your pump. Decent job otherwise. 

Business response:

Hello Ralph, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your leaf canister and we'd like to help.

Garbage. Wasted 2-3 hrs fishing this thing around in ... Garbage. Wasted 2-3 hrs fishing this thing around in our driveway pond. It has to be completely submerged and held under due to the lid not sealing closed. It doesnt thread/screw closed. Instead it has a twist lock so it only gets as tight as the studs will allow it.
