like my little bug, June 11, 2009
By nettie from Arkansas

"my pool size is 18x4. The pump that came with my pool was not big enough to move the bug really well. My bigger pump is much better for cleaning my pool and makes my bug move great. It is really fun to watch it clean the pool. I would recommend the Hayward Aqua Critter to anyone.

What a relief!, June 3, 2009
By Raven31 from Edgemere, MD

Pros: Never have to vaccuum your pool again
Cons: None

"I have a 15x30' above ground pool. This lady bug (I call her "the Girl") cleans my pool perfectly. I had to go to the local pool supply and get an additional section of hose for $13...but, that is the most I have had to do. I would highly recommend it and I am purchasing it for my sister as a birthday present to save her from having to vaccuum her pool! Enjoy!"

excellent pool cleaner, December 14, 2008
By Frenchie from Greenville, South Carolina

Pros: cleans pool while you sleep
Cons: none really no brainer easy to hook up

"I had one for 13 years and this the first time I had to replace it and only because it was a GREAT PRICE with in the swim. I still have the old one and will give it away."

Love it !, December 14, 2008
By DWeaz from West Virginia

Pros: easy, fast and almost hands free

"I was a bit "iffy" when I bought this product. I got it hooked up and let it go. WOW, it cleans great and virtually hands free. I put it in the pool over night and the pool is clean the next day. Its a little hard to get the area where the floor meets the walls but I recomend this product to anyone who has a busy life and not much time to vaccum themselves."

Does the job, November 29, 2008
By BoilerFan from Crystal Lake, IL

Pros: Cute and fun for the kids to watch
Cons: Cleans just ok, get the leaf canister for best resullts!

"For what I wanted to accomplish, this cleaner does the job at a decent price. If I put it in the pool an hour or so before swimming, when I take it out, I have very little left to vacuum. For best results, buy the leaf canister, it will save cleaning of your filter basket!"

LOVE IT - LOVE IT - LOVE IT, November 27, 2008
By Anonymous from Woodleaf, NC

Pros: So Easy - it was almost too easy !
Cons: Be Patient the 1st day - it does work !

"I purchased a home with a pool - and knew absolutely ZERO about maintaining it - - - I was lucky and the water cleared up quickly (from green sludge) but I could never get the floor vacuumed very clean. A friend suggested a pool vacuum critter - so I purchased this one and WOW!!!! I wish I had done it the day we opened the pool! Now my pool is as clean as any I have ever seen! Crystal Clear - Sparkling Blue ! And all I have to do is plug the hose into the bottom of the skimmer ! How simple is that! MUCH MUCH EASIER than talking my kids into vacuuming!"

Returned the Aqua Critter, November 26, 2008
By Skogo from Missouri

Pros: It's cute
Cons: It didn't work

"We bought the Aqua Critter to replace our old Polaris. The Aqua Critter was worthless. Though the description says it works on pools with a deep end, it never did. The Critter wouldn't or couldn't go into the deep end of our pool, and if we placed it down there manually, it still wouldn't go up the sides to get out. We tried many different adjustments, but none helped. Very poor performance. We returned the Critter and ordered another Polaris 65."

Disappointed, September 20, 2008
By lilmama from mo

Pros: cleans well
Cons: wouldn't climb slopes

"The ad says it works in dished out pool bottoms, which is why I purchased it, but it did not work in mine. It wouldn't climb the slope around the edge or the one from the deep end to the shallow end. It just stayed in the deeper end of the pool."

excellent pool cleaner, June 27, 2008
By ccrider

Pros: can't beat it for the price
Cons: none

"I have two diffrent pool cleaners the Aqua critter is the best . I have a suggestion when you store your hoses make sure you keep them as straight as possible .I made a stand for my hoses out of red wood 2x4's and pvc pipe have had them since 1998. The other cleaner I have is a pool rover jr. and it is alot more expensive and does not clean as well. When my Aqua Critter ever quits I will definitely purchase outher one . they have many parts for this unit so it may be a long time"

Excellent buy, May 28, 2008
By cw4manning from Bristol, VA

Pros: Easy to use

"For the money this product works great!!!! I had no problem with it. When I store it away I had bought a tote that hold everything because the box broke down. it is easy to put together. And fun to sit and watch. I find it easier to clean before I cover my pool at night(due to my neighbors trees) that way it is ready for the next day."

Good Product, November 7, 2007
By TheMoeMan from Sierra Vista, AZ

Pros: Very simple to hook up and get into the water
Cons: Clogged on inaugural trip around the pool

"Owned the Lady Bug version of this cleaner for 6 years and was extremely satisfied with operation. I hope this one works at least half as well. Buy it - it's much simpler to use than any other above ground cleaner and works very well. I have a 26' round and it does fine."

Bugs be gone, August 27, 2007
By 4My3Sons

Pros: Small, easy to use
Cons: Not the best cleaner on the market

"This product's cleaning ability is limited. If you have a smaller pool it may work better than it did for us in our 30' round pool. It wasn't a good match for our pool size."
