Not that satisfied,
Date:September 14, 2009
By airman
Pros: Well made, clear instructions
Cons: Didn't clean center of pool, always tangles up
"Bought this to replace a Zippy Barracuda which worked very well but can't find it any more. This replacement one seemed to always tangle its hose into a knot and then it becomes immobilized and ineffective. The "gullet" or intake will clog with leaves, stopping the flapper valve inside and it stops, It doesnt pick up leaves very well.There is no steering mechanism. it seems to move in a backwards direction propelled by the internal weighted flapper valve that kicks it along and it is steered by the direction of the hose. It always went to the outside edges of the pool cleaning the perimeter of the pool but never the center. I am returning it for an exchange on something else. Wish you still carried the Zippy."

Pros: Have more time to enjoy the pool
Cons: Gets stuck on the stairs
"I love our pool cleaner. I put it in at night before going to bed and when I wake up the pool is clean. The only problem is that I need to remove the stairs in the pool because it does get stuck on the stairs."

Pros: Cleans most of pool very well
Cons: Misses one portion of pool
"This is my second one (I had to replace it after about 12 years). It is a great cleaner, very easy to set up and just let it do its job. The only problem I have with it is that it misses one portion of our above ground pool (because the water return pushes it away). Obviously this isn't a huge problem since I did replace our old one."

By KvillePoolOwner

Pros: Easy to get going, works pretty well
Cons: Misses same spots all the time, gets caught up on pool steps
"This device works pretty well. Its not a 100% replacement for manual vacuuming. I still vacuum my pool about once a month or so manually but for general weekly maintenance it works pretty well. It tends to get tangled up and always gets caught on my above ground pools steps. I wish it would get the opposite end of the pool (from the skimmer) better, I have to drag it down to that end quite often, otherwise it tends to hang out down on the skimmer end. Due to these issues its not 100% self-cleaning, I have to keep a close eye on it and un-tangle it or get it off the steps. But all in all I am satisfied with it."

Pros: none
Cons: pain to setup, does'nt clean well
"This is a pain to set up, you have to put eight hoses together eveytime you want to use it. It misses the same spots in the pool. I tried to adjust it according to directions but still it keeps going over the same spots. Maybe its just me. Also i let it run for 4hrs. and it still did not get all the dirt."

Disappointment,
Date:November 30, 2008
By trophywife
from Goodlettsville, TN
from Goodlettsville, TN
Pros: It's easy to set up
Cons: It gets twisted around and stuck in one place.
"At first it worked well, but left a corner of the pool uncleaned, so I ordered more lengths that I thought would correct the problem, but it actually made it worse! It constantly got twisted up and stuck in one spot. I would untangle it several times a day. I tried reinstalling, straightening the hose, taking out one of the new lengths (then both), rearranging the lengths, picking up the head and moving it to the missed areas, but nothing worked. I ended up going back to vacuuming it myself."

By julieb4u

Pros: easy & automatic
Cons: kind of slow
"I love not having to stand at the edge of the pool for an hour vacuuming it out myself. I just throw this in a couple of hours before we are going swimming and it takes care of it for me. Sometimes I have to pull it to a few spots that were missed but for the most part it gets the majority of the stuff. It's definitely a keeper!"

Pros: This is a great cleaner!!!
Cons: Gets stuck under the ladder just like all of them do.
"I have been using this automatic cleaner for about 15 years. I am on my second cleaner, and I have had it for 10 years. When I open my pool I just put it in and it does all the hard work for me. I would recommend this to anyone. If mine quits working I will just buy an other one. I wouldn't even consider buying a different brand. I love it!!! The Kreepy Krauly is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!"

Pros: EASY INSTALLATION
Cons: every once in awhile it will get hung up on the ladder
"WOW..this thing is cool...works effectively, description is exactly as stated. It's fun to watch-it's like a robot it has a mind of its own and you never know what direction its going next in you pool. It even climbs the walls and suctions all the little particles that you would not get with a net or push vacumn."

Pros: None
Cons: hard to handle, does not perform, a waste of money
"I bought the Kreepy Krawly pool vac about three weeks ago and I have been sorely sorry for it. It has been a worse pain that manual vacuuming. I can't keep the hose attached. It attaches in about 16 places. Section, section, section, ... then the vavuum leaves the crud I want removed from the pool. It takes it all night to vacuum a 24 ft pool. Not happy. Can I get a refund????"

it finally gave up the ghost after 6 years,

Pros: easy to use, easy to tell when it's working from the clicking.
Cons: easily clogged with leaves or large debris.
"We've had our EZ Vac for 6 seasons, this year it finally quit on us. it does a very good job on the pool floor generally, and when I want it to go somewhere specific I just gently lead it around. You can always tell if it's working efficiently from the click click click sound it makes. You can put it in cloudy water without damaging anything.
It works very well on algae and small debris, but it clogs up on full size leaves. If you have alot of leaves it can be tedious clearing the clog, but if you use it regulary it's great. our cover collapsed and so we had lots of leaves one year and the vac wasn't up to that job, but great for regular cleaning and even after a storm.
I will hang up on the ladder, and you need to empty the trap on the filter motor when it fills.
Recommended item. Good value for dollar."

Really Good Purchase,

By BlueFlame

Pros: Even does foot print bottoms
Cons: Hangs up on ladder & water flow takes time to get adjusted right
"It even vacuums foot printed bottoms. Some of the cons are that you really have to make sure the hose is kept straight or it will retain a curve which can be straightened out by putting all the hose back in the box & putting the box in the hot sun. The water flow out of the return takes time to learn where it needs to be even using the diverter eyeball. Some times it will hang up on the ladder and some on the foot prints. It has to keep going over leaves, acorns, and pine cone nuts before it will vacuum them up. I live on a dirt road and it really does a good job on the dirt and dust that settles on the bottom from the road."

Good investment,
Date:August 22, 2007
By Pennsylvania
Pros: Extremely convenient and cleans well
Cons: gets stuck on steps
"I am very happy to have purchased this item. We have a lot of trees in our yard and we need to vacuum our 15x30 pool at least 3-4 times a week, even more if we get a storm. With children, work...etc, it's so hard to find the time. This vacuum does all my work for me. Just drop it in and let it go! What a time saver. It was extremely easy to assemble and just as easy to operate. It was getting stuck on our steps at the far end of the pool so I just shortened the hose so that is no longer an issue."
