A gift of time!,
August 17, 2009

Pros: Just set it up and forget about it!
Cons: None
"After years of manually vacuuming my above ground pool, my children purchased this for me for my birthday. It was one of the best gifts I received--it is extremely easy to use, keeps my pool bottom virtually spotless, and gives me much more time to enjoy my pool with my grandchildren! I have a 24' round pool so I bought two more sections of hose to reach the side farthest away from my skimmer."

So Incredibly Helpful!,
July 17, 2009
By DeliriousMom
from Pocono Mts, PA
|
Pros: Works on its own, no noise, cleans well
Cons: Have to put together & take apart that dang hose every time it's used
"I have a 27' round pool and I had received a dirt devil vac when I had my pool installed 3 years ago and it promptly broke and really never worked well to start with, not to mention it was very noisy with all the clicking. Needless to say, hand vac'ing the pool took FOREVER due to the size and I don't have a deck yet so I had to walk around the pool with a small ladder to be able to do this at all. I had heard about the Hayward Aqua years ago from someone who owned a pool store and in fact it was what they themselves used in their above-ground pool (when they could have chosen any they sold that says alot). So I found this site and the price was right so I ordered it and I have been using it for a while now and absolutely love it!! It's easy to use, you just drop it in and it goes on its own and covers the whole pool in a couple of hours. It does a fabulous cleaning job getting all the grit & stuff off the bottom of the pool. When I opened the pool this year it was a green murky mess and I had it running daily till I got it cleared up and it got all the leaves & even stones off the bottom of the pool. I would highly recommend anyone with an above ground pool to get this product! The only "con" I have and it really isn't much of a big deal, is that the hose cannot be coiled or you void your warranty; so you need to disconnect the hose sections and store them flat each time you use the vac. Like I said not much of a prob, but wanted to mention it anyway."

Great Buy,
July 13, 2009
By phnxnight

Pros: compact, easy setup, cleans pool unassisted, great with add-on skimmer
Cons: maintaining water pressure
"This product was a great help opening the pool this year. I had a leak in the winter cover, and a bunch of leaves and other debris were in the pool. Once I purchased this cleaner, it made cleaning the pool twice as fast, plus, it cleans the pool overnight, without supervision.
I would really recommend this product to everyone."

Time Saver,
July 12, 2009
By BarnMom
from Great Meadows, NJ
|
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Likes to get caught behind the ladder
"This year I decided that it was about time to automate some pool chores. After lots of research with my friends that have pools, Aqua Critter won by a landslide vote. It is very easy to use, no problems getting her to start cleaning the pool. I highly recommend this product."

Works great,
July 12, 2009
By Sugaree
from Northern CT
|
Pros: Effective, works just fine in a dished center pool
Cons: Occasionally gets confused and needs to be manually redirected
"This cleans the pool as quickly and efficiently as if you yourself were doing it yourself - Don't expect it to be any faster. Does not climb the sides but it is my understanding that none of the above ground pool cleaners do. (if you maintain good chemical balance your sides should require minimal scrubbing anyway) Great product for the $$. I don't have to bug my sons to vaccum anymore!"

not bad,
July 11, 2009
By wendylynn
from East Texas
|
Pros: cleans well where it cleans
Cons: doesn't do whole pool, an acorn knocks it out
"This works well in spots; does well on pool bottom. However, we have oak trees and just 1 acorn will totally shut it down until you pry the acorn out. Not bad for the money, but the pool water doesn't filter as well with it connected."

Great little vaccuum!,
July 11, 2009
By jaxgnat
|
Pros: Keeps bottom of my above ground pool clean automatically
Cons: Wish there were more than one suction area under the vacuum
"This is an awesome little vacuum for the money. Keeps my pool bottom cleaned all summer long. If you have a lot of leaves, just make sure and check it every now and then to clean out."

Best thing I ever did for myself,
July 11, 2009
By Dat47
|
Pros: No more aching back from vacuuming the pool.
Cons: none so far
"The Critter was reccommended to me by a friend who knows I suffer with lower back pain. She has one and loves it. I have been using it for weeks now and it does a fantastic job. My pool stays crystal clear and I can enjoy it more than ever. It is easy to hook up and remove from the pool. I have a Doughboy pool and it hooks up to its special through the wall vacuum attachment perfectly."

Works better than advertised,
June 18, 2009
By DocWyeth
from SE Penna.
|
Pros: It WORKS!!
Cons: None
"I LOVE this product.
It has cut down on the algae problems because it keeps the pool cleaner than if I did it everyday.
I watched my neighbor for years try so many different above ground cleaners and he never did find one that worked. Then last year for Father's Day my wife gave this to me. She saw the disappointed look and promptly told me it was fully returnable but asked me to try it. She did her research. IT WORKED. I spend more time playing with the kids\ grandkids than cleaning now. I toss it in with the morning coffee and let it run till they show up a few hours later. Once I week I get in a do a full scrub because I feel I should, not because I have too. It runs in the rain and I never did that before. This year it helped open the pool which I hate cause the water is so cold. NO PROBLEM. It got the junk off the bottom."

Works Wonders,
June 17, 2009
By DWyatt
from Illinois
|
Pros: Easy set up
Cons: No attachment to fit my filter
"This product is wonderful. I bought it last year and didn't use it much because my filter is an older one and the "critter" didn't come with an attachment to fit it's hose in the strainer. This year I'm using it and it's cleaning the pool wonderfully - I don't think I'll have to hand sweep it again! It's taking a little longer than it normally would because I'm using my old hose and I think it's a little too heavy for the critter - but we just put it in when we get home from work and take it out a few hours later with a clean pool!"
