good quality leaf rake, July 18, 2009
By bakedbean from michigan

Pros: size, material it is made from

"This product is definately a little higher quality than the blue and white leaf rake. It is worth the small amount extra. The material that it is made from makes it more flexible and it catches some of the smaller debris such as dog hair pretty well. It is sometimes annoying to empty that debris out though."

Best pool rake I ever used!, July 18, 2009
By cherub from Brockport, PA

Pros: Large, sturdy rake. Easy to empty and clean.

"I use to have a skimming rake and a small leaf rake. I now use this large rake for everything. It holds a lot of material, has a leading edge to scoop small material off the bottom, and empties easily just by flipping it over inside out. I'll buy another when the time comes."

Works Great, December 14, 2008
By Evelyn from Albany, Georgia

Pros: Heavy Duty
Cons: none

"Works so well I haven't used my leaf eater since I bought it....very heavy duty...I have used it for two years in the Fall and it still looks great. I keep it in my storage room except for the Fall leaf season and it looks like it will last years."

Strong & Tough Leaf Rake, November 30, 2008
By RampageFan from West Michigan

Pros: Strong, Tough, Long Lasting
Cons: None

"I bought the Pro Quality leaf rake and skimmer after the department store brands ripped due to the heavy leaves we get here in West Michigan. The Leaf Rake has taken two years of abuse with no signs of any rips or weakness yet--definitely worth the small additional cost vs. the department store. I will one purchase again when I need another one."

So Far So Good, November 28, 2008
By Boomj from Bay Area (SF, CA)

Pros: Appears to be "pro-strength"
Cons: Haven't used it long enough to know for sure.

"4 stars (vs. 5) only because I just started using it, My previous experience with leaf rakes (and most other pool implements) is that they are junk: they fall apart quickly, usually in less than one season. Especially annoying are the aluminumm frames that almost immediately fracture (obviously made of the cheapest aluminum "pot-metal" available). Also, the net on this one looks like it will stand up to a lot of use, I'll buy anything advertised as "unbreakable"."

Gotta Get One!, September 30, 2008
By Postman from East Texas

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None

"When it comes to getting leaves or any object out of the pool this net is a must have! You can get the leaves and debris out of the bottom of the pool so much more easily than using your surface skimmer. I'd say buy one, you will be glad you did. Also good for getting those masks, toys, etc out of the pool! And the time from ordering to arriving at your door can't be beat! In The Swim is FAST!"

What a great product, a timesaver!, August 24, 2007
By gmanpoolboy

Pros: Easy to use, performs well.

"I used to try to clean leaves with my normal rake, but then I purchased a leaf rake. This rake makes it so easy to clean up leaves from the bottom of the pool, and it also works well with floating debris. The pocket is big enough to hold a large quantity of leaves. I remove them first so my pool cleaner doesnt get clogged up. It saves so much time. This fall the cleaning for winterization will go so much faster using this product. I recomment it to all!"

Unbreakable Net, August 3, 2007
By jerryjoe

Pros: Durable, large net, fits telescoping pole
Cons: Heavy

"Does a good job scooping out leaves, bugs, etc. Hope the "unbreakable" feature lives up to its name."
