Gift purchase I bought this as a gift for friends who just purchased a pool. They love it and say it works very well.

Baracuda Ranger Pool Vac. This above ground pool vac is working out very nicely. Couldn't be happier. I start it up, grab a cocktail and sit under the umbrella watching it work. Kids get home to a clean pool. Love it.

Does the job I have a lot of trees around my pool so vacuuming is a weekly chore. The bottom of our pool is not perfectly flat and there is even a patch in one spot so I was a bit skeptical that this will work well. I decided to get it anyway since it was one of the cheapest I could find and even cheaper since I had an amazon gift card. Assembly was easy. I have a 27 ft. pool and it was able to cover the entire pool in about 1 hour. One note, make sure that the return valve on the pool is set to push the water down. It took ... read more

Amazing! We bought this cleaner for our 24' above ground pool. We had purchased an aqua critter in 2008 and were never satisfied with the quality of cleaning it did. The wheels and the black rim on the critter kept popping off and it never quite had enough suction power that would do a thorough job. We would just end up using the manual cleaner that came with the pool to finish up what the critter didn't pick up. We decided to purchase the Baracuda W01698 Ranger due to the fact that it was one working part and the price coul... read more

Great suction, not automatic. My first and biggest complaint with the ranger is that with all the hoses and adapters provided it does not include an adaption for Intex. I could be wrong but I believe that Intex is the largest, most popular pool systems sold, so imagine my surprise when I learned that Ranger is not compatible with Intex. After hours of crazy rigging I was able to connect the hose to the Intex pool system. Luckily I just happen to have about $40 worth of pool and tubing supplies necessary to adapt the Ranger t... read more

Great Vacuum I purchased this to replace the Turbo Turtle by Polaris. I was looking for something that would actually pull the water from the bottom of our 27' above ground pool. The pool is ten years old and we have crevasses in the bottom and I needed something that would have enough power to clean it. The Baracuda did an amazing job! To be completely honest I didn't vacuum my pool at the end of last year and when we took the cover off, it was a mess. I hooked up the newly purchased Baracuda and was absolutely shocked at h... read more

Superior above-ground pool vac! This is a replacement for my Kreepy Crawly which was quite noisy but seemingly pretty effective...until I got the Baracuda! The Ranger runs very quietly, you can't hear it at all, in fact, and is designed NOT to make a flapping sound. Thank you! Assembly is easy, instructions are clear. Assemble and voila! it's off and running. Like all pool vacs, it wants to ask the bottom corner of the stepped ladder for a date but just nudge it away with a pool pole and it keeps doing the job or just raise ... read more

It Works Like any tool, this took some tweaking, but after some adjustments it operates fine. By adjusting the fittings it also works under the solar cover. I suppose pulling colder water from the bottom also enhances my solar heating system by "turning the water over". Nice little piece of engineering. I have only used it 2 days so I can't testify to durability. Also, I had to do some hand work around a ladder but if its in the pool and you tap it around it will get any missed spots. I think for the price it is a great prod... read more

Best Pool Cleaner/Vacuum We had a diver dave before this...this definately tops diver dave! We use this for a 24" above ground pool. I bought and used this all summer and took it out again yesterday to clean the pool to prepare it again for this year. I absolutely love this pool vacuum. It is stylish, easy to see when it is in the pool, works great and the ring on the upper part deters it from getting too close to your pool wall. This way it does not climb your pool wall when cleaning. In addition, that part stops it from ge... read more
