Very Effective Cleaner,
July 23, 2008
By Indianfrom Huntsville, AL
Pros: Excellent cleaner, Easy setup, Easy to retrieve and place into pool Cons: Not perfect but excellent, Recommended cleaning time is too short, Instructions slightly inadequate
"I have used only Polaris cleaners before because they were supposed to be excellent. To keep them in good working condition was far too costly and time consuming. The Phantom seems to be a better alternative. The tail is not as effective since it does not provide any type of scrubbing and only agitates any sediment formation over which it passes. I love the dual cleansing ability that performs a skimming action as well as the walls and floor of the pool. There does appear to be some tangling problems but occasional observation and ease of untanglement does seem to help. The step cleaning ability is another excellent feature. I will write another review after the first season to give a more accurate report."

Great the first Year,
June 27, 2008
By SaltwaterScott
Pros: Kept Pool Clean all winter Cons: Parts are expensive and once it breaks is hard to fix
"I loved this product the first year. But year two the thing just went around in circles in one place until it got stuck in the corner of the steps. I replaced about all the parts I could order but still have been unable to fix it."

Great Cleaner,
June 1, 2008
By FireDivenfrom Lenoir, NC
Pros: Easy to Install, Easy to Use Very Simple Cons: None found
"This is our first automatic cleaner and our experience couldn't be any better. It is so easy to use and simple to install. We love to just sit and watch it in action. We actually named ours "Danny" Phantom after the popular children's cartoon. Danny leaves the pool sparkling and is a great addition to our family."

Best Ever!,
September 28, 2007
By cdpratt
Pros: Quick cleaning Cons: Kind of expensive
"This cleaner is 10 times better than the Polaris 280 that I had for several years. I too spent way too much money on the Polaris during that time on maintenance and repairs. I think I replaced just about every moving part on that piece of junk! The Hayward cleans faster and looks better doing it. I love the skim cleaning feature of the Hayward as well. It took the cleaner about 2 hours to get the pool spotless and it hasn't been spotless in over a year! Great product!"

Amazing!,
September 4, 2007
By katygirl
Pros: Cleans the whole pool, very thorough. Cons: n/a
"We were so amazed at how thorough of a job the Phantom does and how fast it does it. They say total pool in 3 hrs, but it doesn't take that long. I've never seen another cleaner like this before. I highly recommend it. It's well worth the price. The old saying 'you get what you pay for'. With this, you're getting the best!"

The Very Best I've Ever Owned,
August 10, 2007
By RickTN2007
Pros: It cleans your ENTIRE POOL !!! Top, bottom and sides.
"It cleans your entire pool FAST! No more waiting for an automatic pool cleaner that misses areas of your pool. This cleaner gets them ALL ! It skims the surface, then cleans the bottom and sides. Debris is collected in its easy to access mesh bag. Very easy to clean out after it has cleaned your entire pool. The Phantom has a switch that can quickly be set from its automatic position (cleans top & bottom) to bottom only or top only when you need just top or bottom cleaned. It is EASY to assemble. The Phantom takes care of cleaning your pool, so you can spend more time enjoying your pool"

This thing is fantastic!,
June 12, 2007
By bosshogfrom Nixon, Texas
Pros: Cleans bottom, middle and surface quickly and efficiently. Cons: Would like a larger collection bag, but was still very adequate.
"I have had three Polaris 360s and been disappointed with the high maintenance on all of them and their poor performance.
I have lots of nice trees in the yard and leaves are always a problem,but the Phantom gulped them down along with twigs 7" long and even a ball of moss! I had to empty the bag twice in its first run.
The pool was sparkling in about 4 hours and it needed it. The polaris had broken a drive belt and was not working for about a week before.
Great job Hayward!"

the phantom,
May 12, 2007
By beachbunny
Pros: would never have thought this cleaner could do the amazing job that it does. Cons: none
"My husband found this cleaner on the internet. Reviews looked good, so we ordered it. When it arrived, I thought no way is this thing going to work. I was wrong. It cleaned the pool, picked up debris from the bottom, and did it all in a few hours. We love this cleaner!! Filter is easy to clean, unit is easy to store, what more could you ask for?"
