" ...  It works great but wish we had purchased one with a remote control, there are times when we have one spot we want to clean and while the unit will get the spot it takes longer than it would with remote control.  ...  "

" ...  Refinished the pool, gave the unit a good cleaning and used it in a refreshly replasted inground pool (w/ quartz plaster, not pebble) and its great! ... It cleans up all the bits of leaves and brushes everything. ... Leaves no marks. ... Clean the filters every time & rinse out the insides and you'll love the ability to leave it for hours to do its thing.  ...  "
