You Can do better,

Pros: Quiet
Cons: breaks down a lot
"Many things get stuck in cleaner, breaks down a lot. Flaps constantly needed to be replaced, gears wore out, would find it just twirling around in pool, stuck in corners, or with leaves stuck in suction hole. Repairs expensive too. If this were more reliable it wouldn't be bad but I felt I had to check on it all the time."

Pros: Cleans my size pool 15X30 in about a half an hour.
Cons: Gets stuck once in a while but rights itself quickly.
"The Hayward Navigator costs a bit more than others but it's well worth the extra cost. I use Hayward equipment and the Navigator was an excellent addition to my pool needs."

Pros: Works well, does not get stuck, parts readily available
Cons: Gears wear out
"This is much better than a kreepy krauler which always got stuck.
The navigator works well. It has little feet that need replaced and you can replace the flaps. By the time we got around to it the second time, the gears were lose and we just got a new one.

Parts are easy to get and it works well.
We have had three pool cleaners in nine years. We live in Florida and run it several hours every day 365 days a year. Does a great job keeping the pool clean. I am happy with this brand and would need a real good reason to switch."

Pros: It navigates the pool and does a wonderful job in keeping the pool clean.
Cons: The side flippers wear down fast due to the cement pool.
"Living in Hawaii we can use the pool year round. I keep the Hayward Navigator in the pool all day and remove it when we swim or shocking the pool. This is the 2nd Hayward I have own and will purchase it again when the time comes."
