The ONLY pool vac I'll ever buy,
Date:May 6, 2013
By Shari
from Knoxville, TN
from Knoxville, TN
Pros: Easiest pool cleaner to use, very good price, very effective cleaning
Cons: There are no cons to this pool cleaner...none...none...none.
"When I bought my home with an existing pool 20 years ago, it came with a Kreepy Krauly pool cleaner. After more than 15 years of use, the Kreepy needed to be replaced. I fought with hubby to purchase a new Kreepy, but his heart was set on a robotic cleaner that cost more than twice what a Kreepy cost. I was never happy with the robotic cleaner's performance - it never cleaned as well as my Kreepy. After the robotic's third breakdown in 3 years, I finally convinced hubby to go back to Kreepy Krauly. We are both tickled at how well this cleaner operates...and the rebate made the deal sweeter!"

Skeptical,

Pros: Does the job! (K)leans very well. Easy to operate. Basically trouble-free.
Cons: Longevity - only 4 seasons????? Gets stuck on ladder and sometimes at steps
"I am wondering how long the average unit lasts. We purchased May 2008 and this year, it quit working. We have avg sized pool and take very good care of the unit (don't use it during winter, dismantle hose and store well). Very disappointed that it quit working at the end of this season (4th season).
Disappointed that the replacement part needed is $ 289!! But, in defense this is the story on most repairs these days.
Our KK kept our pool sparkling clean but got stuck on the ladder repeatedly. When we installed the leaf canister, it completely took care of this issue.
$100 per year is not bad to spend considering the time saved by having the pool cleaned for us, but I like things to last longer than this. I will research other brands prior to replacing."

Pros: LOW COST, EASY TO USE AND INSTALL
Cons: NOTHING
"I AM A NEW POOL OWNER AND HAVE STRUGGLED KEEPING THE POOL CLEAN BY HAND. SO, I RESEARCHED AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANERS AND SPOKE TO FRIENDS WHO ARE POOL OWNERS. MOST OF THEM REFERRED ME TO POLARIS BUT I REALLY HAD A PROBLEM SPEND CLOSE TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE KREEPY KRAULY AND ITS PERFORMANCE!!! I CAN IMAGINE OTHER POOL CLEANERS FOR 3 TIMES THE PRICE DOING ANY BETTER OF A JOB."

Pros: cleans well
Cons: didnt receive enough hose+weights
"The kreepy works well given enough time, but i didnt receive enough hose and weights to cover my 16X32 pool,which i gave dimensions for. Haven't been able to get that info to purchase them. Have seen other reviews stating they were able to get for free...I am willing to buy more-just not the whole set for $150.00!"

Good for the money!,
Date:April 28, 2010
By Pezz78
Pros: Cleans well; good price
Cons: Doesn't clean steps; knocks pool light out of wall
"I've used my Kreepy for going on the 3rd season and it does a great job. It occasionally gets stuck on the pool ladder and slowly jostles the pool light enough to break the clamp holding it in the wall once a summer. But overall, I'm happy. It cleans every inch of my pool (except the steps). For the price, it's a good choice!"

Best so far!,

Pros: Excellent cleaning
Cons: Not so nice looking
"This one came with the pool 2002. It lasted for 7 years. Only had to get a couple of wingsets, about $23 worth. Excellent cleaning! even under the heating blanket. It also cleaned the walls and the 2 lower stairs. Compared to the ATV, that's in the pool right now, it didn't get stuck as much, and there was never any spots on the bottom of the pool, the Kreepy really sucked it clean. Our next one's going to be another Kreepy, we don't want to spend our time scrubbing the pool."

Works Great,

By Sidekick

Pros: No more vaccuming the pool manually.
Cons: See below
"This works great!!! I too had to get a third wieght before I could use it as my pool is too deep for only two wieghts although I didn't have to pay a dime for the extra wieght. You have to make sure your filter is back washed before stating and it does get stuck on the drain sometimes. Other than that I'm very happy with this product."

Great Idea with poor execution,
Date:September 13, 2009
By RobertB
from Great Mills, MD
from Great Mills, MD
Pros: Cleans Well
Cons: Gets stuck on everything & expensive for injection molded plastic
"I used the KK for the entire summer and I can tell you for certain that it's just not worth it. We have a 20x40 rectangle with stairs in the shallow and 1 drop in set in the deep end. It's as cookie cutter as can be. The KK would constantly get hung on the deep end ladder or do a perpetual rotation around the bottom drain. As a bonus (sarcastic) when it would get hung up on the ladder, the ladder would vibrate so I just noticed the print on the liner behind the ladder legs is worn off. That means the liner is now thinner right in those 2 spots. I really appreciate that one! To sum it up, the engineers who designed this didn't go far enough. When it doesn't get stuck it's random properties are weak. It will follow the same paths so be prepared to vacuum anyway. Also, the only reason I gave it 2 stars because it does clean well (when it's not stuck) and it doesn't use a booster pump like my Polaris."

Pros: Saves me hours, easy to put together.
Cons: Doesn't do stairs but that's not a issue.
"This is the best product out. Saves me so much time not having to clean it myself now. Only have to give the stairs a quick brush and that's it. I let it run everyday when the pool is on. Looks so much better ALL the time now. A good price with the $100 rebate."

This product AWESOME,

By jnrrnj1229
from Woburn, MA
from Woburn, MA
Pros: Cleans EVERY inch of my pool
Cons: Nothing anymore
"OK yes, when we first installed we did have a problem with the unit getting caught near the ladder. This was due to the weight positioning and unfortunately, Pentair changed what they included with this product. They used to include 3 weights, now only 2 weights come with the unit. So if you have a normal sized pool you will be forced to buy at least 1 more weight. BUT since we figured out that problem, LIFE IS GREAT!! No more vacumming for me!!!! I love this product! I would recomend it to everyone."

Hands Down the Best Above Pool Cleaner,
Date:July 26, 2009
By Happenindad
from Nazareth, PA
from Nazareth, PA
Pros: Cleans pool floor and sides of above ground
Cons: None so far
"I purchased this Kreepy Krauly to replace two (2) Robo Kleen units I have purchased. The other reviews about the break downs on the Robo Kleen are right on.
I have run this new Kreep Krauly unit in my pool for two weeks @ 24/7 and this unit rocks.
Learned that moving the supplied "diverter" ever so slightly to different positions over the course of a day or two actually does change the cleaning path big time. I have a 33' above ground pool, so maybe the powerfull motor exhausts too much water into the pool that prevents the unit to clean all areas when the diverter is left in only one place. Knowing that, this unit will clean better than anything I know with only one moving part to break. On the fence - buy it!"

Pros: keeps me from having to vacuum, pool is low maintenance now
Cons: takes days to make a complete run, gets caught on steps and drain
"This thing simply works. You may not think it is, but when you do not have to vacuum for 2 months at all, and the filter gets full of dirt in just 3 days then you know it is working."

Pros: It is the Best Vacuum I have ever had, it does an outstanding job.
Cons: NONE
"I replaced an older Kreepy Krauly Automatic Pool Cleaner and I do like the design of the newer one. It does an outstanding job cleaning the walls and floor of my pool. It is so easy to use. I also bought and used the scrubbing pad with the Kreepy Krauly and it works great. I am so pleased with this Pool Cleaner that I have told friends and family who have pools how great it is."

Pros: Ease of installation and use

Pros: Kreepy Krauly really works well, the Great Grsndchildren like to watch it as they swim.
Cons: I have a five foot wide step and I am going to put in a temporary divider to keep the hose moving.
"I built my pool in 1973. I am now 82 yrs old and not able to vacum as easy as then, my children and grandchildren are no longer at home to help, so I decided to make the job easy and the Kreepy krauly did th trick."

Good Buy,

By bonniek
from Belle Mead, NJ
from Belle Mead, NJ
Pros: not many parts, easy to use, does a decent job
Cons: not so good at picking up worms and big leaves
"We like this vaccuum alot. It doesn't have many parts, so its simple to use. We let it run each day just to keep the bottom and sides fairly clean. If there are bigger issues like worms or big leaves, we have to vaccuum manually. It needs a little bit of monitoring to make sure the hose isn't coiled up or its stuck on the stairs, but this doesn't happen very often. I would definitely recommend this as a good buy."

Kreepy Krauly Automatic Pool Cleaner,

By Lilbell

Pros: Vaccuums up the pool wonderfully while I sit in the airconditioned house.
Cons: Haven't discovered any and this is my second seson!
"For three seasons I used the standard vacuum and would spend a couple of hours doing manual labor
cleaning my above ground pool.
I Purchased the Automatic Kreepy Krauly and life has been easy. I go out early in the morning and hook it up and it does the work for me. It operates on the pump pressure, so there is no motor to break.
By the time the kids are up and ready to swim the pool is completely vacuumed. I love it and would recommend it to all."

Pros: Makes life so much easier.
Cons: Can get stuck on ladders.
"This is our second one, our first Kreepy Krauly lasted 7 years. Once you have one you are spoiled and can't live without it. It can get stuck in corners or ladders so I don't leave it on and leave the house. But it does an awesome job."
