Two Summers and it's worked fine,
Date:September 25, 2010
By yorkph
Pros: It does a decent job of cleaning
Cons: Cleaning the filter, cord twisting, mystery buttons on controller
"The transformer/controller went out but Aqua Bot replaced it under warranty.
The socket on the controller that the tether-cord plugs into isn't very sturdy so I have to be really careful when I unplug the cleaner from the controller box.
If you use the fine filter and the pool has some leaves and dirt in it the bot will slow down and have trouble climbing walls. Best to clean with the mesh filter first and then the fine one.
Sit and watch it carefully the first few times you run it. Adjust and tune it to fit your pool using the little pieces of foam, etc. Once I got mine adjusted so it would climb the walls I didn't have to mess with it again.
The instructions for what the buttons on the controller do were really sparse. I have it so I turn the unit on and press one button twice and it runs for about an hour, but I would have to dig for instructions and try to decipher them to figure out what the other buttons do.
Cleaning the filter bag and fitting it back into the bot is a little bit of a hassle... but this cleaner has saved a TON of time for me."

Deep end dweller,

Pros: cleans bottom well
Cons: cannot escape from the deep end
"I really wanted to love this very expensive investment but only like it. As one reviewer mentioned you really should read the manual as there are quite a few adjustments you can make to the unit to tweak it to your needs. Unfortunately, all the tweaking I do will not make my unit consistently clean the whole pool. I think if you have a regular rectangular pool or a pool with one depth, this will do just fine. I have an L-shaped pool with a deep end. My unit works great until it ventures into the deep end. Once it gets down there, it rarely comes back. I usually start it up and check on it every twenty minutes or so to make sure it isn't stuck. I wanted a set-it-and-forget-it cleaner so I`m not fully satisfied. I normally end up pulling it out of the deep end two or three times during a two hour cleaning and after the two hours the bottom is very well cleaned. Good product but not perfect."

Pros: easy to use, price, no hose to deal with
Cons: none I have seen
"What a great robot. We are thinking of a name for it. My pool has never been so clean and free of debris. The Polaris doesn't even come close. Even the oak tree that stands over the pool can't contend with it. It gets every inch of my 15 x 30 fiberglass pool sparkling clean. Love it !"

Pros: cleans pool well. climbs and cleans walls and works as described
Cons: none found
"If you read the manual it tells you how to setup the aquabot. (ie- floatation add/remove setup) when done not hard/ it works very well climbs walls, cleans bottom... I've had several name brand cleaners that I've been unhappy with. this one works GREAT !! you will not be disappointed. works as described and I'm very very pleased."

Blown Expectations,

Pros: Easy hook-up, cord doesn't get tangled, great with bulky leaves on bottom
Cons: Doesn't climb walls without tipping over, gets stalled and doesn't move, doesn't do stairs
"I bought this product with high expectations and time savings. It has been neither. It did well getting the winter leaves on bottom... they give you floats to add or not...can't get it to climb, do stairs or clean fine dirt. It has been high maitenance. My buddy that recommended the aquabot..he has won is shocked as well. I have a big L-shaped pool and I just don't think it is a quality product."

Super investment!,
Date:August 27, 2007
By Birddog
Pros: Works Great!
"I would highly recommend anybody with a in-ground pool to purchase the Aquabot Jet Robotic Pool Cleaner - It works great.. While I'm mowing or working in my garden- "Herman" as my wife and I call it - does a bang-up job cleaning our pool. Backwashing has been so much less this year due to our purchase. The price was great from In-the swim and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROCUCT- It is very easy to use, so do not be intimidated--Thanks----Birddog"

aqubot jet pool cleaner,
Date:August 22, 2007
By mike954
Pros: automatic, fast, circulates water well
Cons: no auto on feature , no timer on feature
"this is a nice product if you have the time to restart it each day , since there is no ON timer for the next use you are forced to start it each day, so if your out of town for a few days there is nothing to clean your pool."

Best Purchase Ever,

By maid
Pros: Saves time and energy
Cons: dosn't get into the corners, bag needs to be cleaned daily
"Had trouble at first with it but the customer service department was so helpful. They sent me a new one at their cost and it has been wonderful. I put it in each morning and two hours later it is done. Dont have cement around the pool yet so we get alot of dirt in the pool. This does and excellent job and also gets alot of the alge out also. Seem to suck up some rodents too. The old push vac would never have don that....."
