" ... Great pool cleaner low maintenance and does a great job. ... "
" ... my back yard is still under construction and vacuum has no problem keeping pool clean. ... its not a 100% drop in and clean pool, but its a good tool to help keep pool clean and make it easier to do so. ... "
" ... This robotic pool cleaner does exactly what it's supposed to I watched it climb the walls . ... it's even made on our first step of our pool I wish the little filter things were easier to clean . ... "
" ... Other than a little difficulty in cleaning the baskets it works perfectly. ... "
" ... This is my first aquabot but it cleans great. ... My old cleaner had the bag type filter, and honestly that was easier to clean than these two baskets, however I find that the aquabot seems to capture more dirt and keep it in better when removing the cleaner from the pool to empty the filter baskets. ... The baskets are good quality and really do capture even the finest particles of dirt, but it honestly takes a good while to get them both clean again with the garden hose. ... My old cleaner with the cloth bag was easier/faster to remove all the crud it picked up ... I would recommend this to someone looking for a cleaner that is a little cheaper than some of the other brands, but seems to do just as good cleaning. ... I have been talking with a friend about their Dolphin brand cleaner which I almost purchased, but in comparison this aquabot seems like a better bargain. ... All the pool robots claim to be smart and map your pool for the best cleaning, but my friend with the Dolphin has to plug in at different outlets to get a good cleaning on their pool. ... I have an 18x36 pool and typically get great results after throwing this in on the Cleaning program 3 (2hr cycle). ... I wouldn't hesitate to buy another aquabot because of how well this cleans. ... I am very thrilled that the thing was able to take my pool and clean the pool walls and floor after I did a quick manual vacuum. ... I put it on the longest run cycle and let it complete one pass, empty the debris bins and rinse with the hose because they were caked in crud, then put it right back in for another run. ... The cleaner seems to be cleaning just as well as last year so far and the pool has been open for a few weeks now. ... "
" ... I can't yet speak to reliability, but the cleaning capability is FAR superior. ... It is much more capable at climbing walls and steps, and has superior brushing action to clean all pool surfaces. ... UPDATE: VASTLY Superior at cleaning steps, ledges, & sides of pool all the way up to waterline. ... "
" ... I marveled as Fred went through his paces and had to unload and clean the two completely full filters after each cycle, removing tree debris, dirt and other small particles. ... a clean pool. ... Since that day, Fred has gone through his paces leaving a clean pool each time. ... We have large trees nearby and the leaves and debris are constantly finding their way into our pool, even now in July. ... The two reusable filters are easy to empty and clean with a hose. ... I also like the fact that it filters the water and evens out the pool chemicals as it cleans. ... "
" ... Easy to use and clean the filter. ... I can brush them off. ... "

" ... I have found it to be a highly effective, dependable tool for my in-ground pool. ... I had already been looking into the many pool-bot models out there and settled on the X4 that day, receiving it 3 days later. ... a clean pool. ... Since that day, Fred has gone through his paces leaving a clean pool each time. ... I also like the fact that it filters the water and evens out the pool chemicals as it cleans. ... But if I do a very quick brushing with the pool brush/pole of those creases and steps, our pool is completely clean after the 2-hour cycle. ... "
" ... Our pool is spotless. ... "
" ... We bought a house never having owned a pool before. ... AND IT IS DUMMY-PROOF! ... "
