Doheny's ProDrive AG Robotic Swimming Pool Cleaner for Above Ground Swimming Pools | The Economical

We love the cleaner, does a great job except I have bought 2 of them back to back and a wheel has broken off both of them rendering them both useless! What a shame for such a great cleaner! The company should make this good!

This device has enough power to run in my pool as set up per controller. However, it wasn't cleaning the pool at the beginning at all. The design of it causes this robot to stir up all the debris from the bottom into the pool volume instead of sucking it up. It makes pool completely cloudy with all debris floating in the water. The flaps which open for water jets to propel the robot in either direction guide the water jets downward to the bottom. The water jet is so strong that even it shoots to the back it was disturbing water ahead of robot and lifted all debris from the bottom up before the robot was reaching the places in its way. Hard to believe this action was not caught during the device testing. I cut those two flaps out, split them in half and permanently attached one half of each to the lower portion of the water jet outlets. This way the water jet is directed someway upward and doesn't disturb debris on the bottom of pool before robot gets there on its way. It works well. But because I covered half of the water jet outlets the propelling water jet was weaker. It caused less of the robot direction change during the travel. To correct this problem, I modified a couple of parts of the water jet outlets pivots to give them more angle for extending the range of direction change. Works like a charm. Covers entire area of pool and picks up all the sediment from the bottom of the pool.If the manufacturer reads my comments, they should implement similar changes I did and provide some award for me for fixing an obvious flaw they missed. I can provide specifics of my change.

I tried all the new fangled stuff and nothing compares to the good ole vacuums like this one. I am so happy I found it! I had one like it before different brand that lasted 4 seasons.The suction is awesome and it’s easy to clean the socks and these socks catch the smallest particles AND contains them.I don’t know how to explain how much I like this!

Works great. Glad there are two bags to oull in dirt. Ised to have a Aquabot Rover Jr, which did have stronger suctuon, but you cat beat this unit for the price. Very well priced vs the competition. Very happy with this purchase.

As far as cleaning it did a great job.....but....my two biggest complaints: 1) The cable gets tangled beyond belief. I never had the issue as bad as this with my Aquabot Pool Rover Jr. 2) After only one use, two of the wheels came completely off. I went out after the two hour cycle to find both wheels at the bottom of the pool with one of the plastic plugs that holds the wheel on in one of the filter bags. I am very disappointed with this after what I paid for it.....

Cleans wonderfully

Love it works great

It does take a few times of unwinding the cord but I expect it will be better next season. Cleans excellent and better than I expected.
