You Can do better, October 30, 2009
By LAGuy from Los Angeles

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."

Cons: Wear out break down

"I had this pool cleaner for 9 years and had to replace on a regular basis The wings ($25) Shoes ($25) A- Frame($100.)gear box installed $ 75.00..Little rocks would get into my pool and jamb up the cleaner and strip the gears..In 9 years it cost me for repairs over a thousand dollars.

Very fine product, December 14, 2008
By Waterguy from Sheffield Lake Ohio

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."

Reliable Quiet & Efficient, November 26, 2008
By DrTravel from Central Florida

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."
