Ok for 1 or 2 Years,

Pros: The unit works well when new & there are no more pros
Cons: Poor bristle material disintegrates quickly and the suction locks the head to the liner
"Does a good job of cleaning when new. Bristles quickly break down in 1 to 2 years & then it is useless. It's amazes me that the bristles on the vacuum head that I got 25 years ago lasted more than 15 years and the new ones that I have purchased since, only last 2-3 years at best. I still have my original wall brush, so I know that the correct materials are available."

Bristles don't last,

Pros: Works well when the bristles don't disintegrate. Stays on the bottom and easy to maneuver
Cons: Can't obtain replacement bristles. The product must have been manufactured with planned obsolescence in mind.
"The brush cleaned well for a while. But since it was stored at the end of last season, it seems the bristles just disintegrated this year and as a previous reviewer stated you can't obtain replacement bristles."

Pros: Nice and cheap ....................................................
Cons: Bristles break off...................................................
"I had this head for a couple of years and prefer this type to a self cleaner that would take days to clean the whole pool but the bristles on this one kept breaking off and then I had to scoop bristles out of my pool all day. For the price it is okay...what do you expect for $20."

Not Worth it,

Pros: Really none
Cons: Bristles to stiff, poor suction at bristle tips
"Bought this because price was right and reviews were good. However, when I got it, I wasn't happy with it. The bristles are way too stiff to get down in small dips or imperfection in the pool floor. Does not clean well in the corner (cove) of the pool. Old vacuum head had softer bristles and were at the edge of the triangle. This one worked much better. I am looking for something else for next year."

Pros: Cheap, works great, brushes are perfect to help pick up stubborn dirt
Cons: none
"This is a great vacuum head. The size and shape allows it to easily get into the tightest corners. The brushes pick up stubborn dirt and direct it straight into the vacuum center."

Pros: clear view of bottom, easy to steer
Cons: none
"This new pool vacuum head is a replacement for an old ( 20 yr. ) aluminum head that just wore out. The new one is EASIER to use, easier to steer, is transparent so I can see the bottom to keep the pool super clean."

Pros: Clear so I can see dirt and leaves being sucked up.Loved the price!
Cons: Kinda light. Needs to be a little heavier.
"Went to my usual pool store to buy,but I didn't want to pay their price. So I looked on line for In The Swim, because I bought stuff from you before and found this suction head and could'nt pass up the price. Delivery was fast and shipping was'nt too much."

"I love this vacuum head - it is sooo much better than the one that came with my pool. This is totally enclosed, giving you much more are of suction. With the old head, it took me a good 60 mins to clean my 18X36 pool. With this more efficient head, I'm done in 30-40 mins. & the bottom is much cleaner. My hose is just a fraction larger than the connection, but the suction is so good that it stays on easily."
