" ... Great cleaner, this is my 2nd season with it!!! ... Does excellent job cleaning the pool!! ... "
" ... It keeps my pool exceptionally clean and makes the overall pool maintenance process a breeze. ... "
" ... It is also very quick and easy to clean out the filter. ... "
" ... Very happy with this cleaner. ... "
" ... Cleans very well. ... You can clean just the bottom of the pool or clean the bottom, sides, and waterline. ... I normally clean the bottom of the pool and hit the lift button and the robot comes to the surface. ... I clean the filter and put back in to clean the bottom and sides. ... You can use the remote to do spot clean ups. ... I normally let it clean for two hours. ... "
" ... It also has a very fine screen so it cleans the silt, dirt and algae from the pool that our previous cleaner did not. ... I have not yet used the hand held remote control so I cannot speak to that but the cleaner itself is amazing! ... "
" ... I love this Polaris it makes keeping my pool clean a lot easier. ... "
" ... Climbs and cleans the walls easily. ... "

" ... I have a salt water pool with pebble tech surface. ... If you can afford it and you don't like to spend a lot of time with pool maintenance then I would recommend. ... "
" ... And unknown to me, a friend with a pool has the exact same one and had it for two years and loves it as much as I do. ... "
" ... What a great pool cleaner. ... "
" ... Works very well on our outdoor I ground pool. ... "
" ... Easy to lift out of the pool--it does all the work for you so you can enjoy more of your summer! ... "
" ... Best automatic pool cleaner I have owned. ... "
" ... This is the cleanest our pool has ever been. ... "
" ... I love this Polaris it makes keeping my pool clean a lot easier. ... I can put it in the pool and forget about it for a while which frees me up to get other things done. ... "

" ... Not even 2 years old and it will not work. ... "
" ... Then winter came and I started to have a few issues. ... "
" ... So I am very disappointed that every problem takes weeks to resolve, if indeed they ever are resolved. ... "
" ... Is this an individual product defect? ... "
" ... i had a Dolphin previous to this and it lasted 4 to 5 years I will purchase that as soon as this one breaks again. ... "
" ... The first week it seemed to do okay(not great), but now, it will not keep the program and after three months (purchased on March 28th) it will not climb the wall and sometimes it will sit in the middle of the pool and just spin. ... it doesn't matter, it is not working. ... it's just not working, I have purchased a lemon. ... "
" ... This is a very expensive item and it worked great but only for about 6 weeks and then it stopped working - allegedly something to do with its power cord. ... "
" ... No answer for the last couple of weeks we've been trying to get this item serviced. ... We just hit our 1 year mark. ... The wheels on the left side of this Polaris stopped working as well as the the front roller or wheel. ... "

" ... Untangle the cord daily, flip it back over and repeat over and over again. ... This then leads to strange cord configurations that prevent the unit from turning back over when it is upside down. ... This week the temperatures in my area are in the low 90's and once again the cord is now straight and the unit does not need my attention. ... "
" ... The cord will get so twisted and tangled/coiled around itself after using this robot about 3 times. ... Untangling takes a while and you can never really get the cord fully straight again as it was when you got it out of the box. ... The cord material is such that once the coils form, it will coil back up pretty quickly. ... They should have some sort of cord clamps that you could attach to the length of cord, at intervals, to keep the cord from coiling in on itself so easily. ... "
" ... I bought the 9300 and after many visits for repairs, (the wheels continually falling off and the cable stopped working), I finally decided to upgrade to the 9550. ... "
" ... The cord is supposed to have a tangle free connector that doesn't work either. ... Once or twice a week I have to disconnect the cord from the console and work to get the twist out of the line. ... Leslie Pool Supply identified the issue in 3 days, seal around the cord. ... "
" ... This is my second Polaris, and my only issue is that the power cord is difficult to keep untangled. ... "
" ... The one thing I don’t like about it is the cord the goes from the Polaris to the caddy gets tangled up all the time and when you try to wind it up on the caddy it goes all kinds of directions which drives me crazy!! ... I wish it had a swivel where the cord connects to the Polaris that way maybe it would kink up so much. ... "
" ... Would have taken longer than timer to clean and the swivel did not work to keep cord untangled. ... "
" ... cord gets twisted does not clean at corners or seams where sides meet floor. ... "

" ... Great quality and price. ... "
" ... You need to replace them 2x a year at approximately $50 bucks, ouch! ... "
" ... The best $1500 I ever spent. ... "
" ... As long as it doesn't break down any time soon, it will have been well worth the money. ... "
" ... Spend a little extra money and buy a great product. ... "

" ... It is feature rich with remote, swivel cable, caddy etc. ... The remote is really nice added feature and the "lift" feature really makes it easy to remove the Polaris from the pool. ... "
" ... The wireless remote is fun, but not a selling point. ... "
" ... Very responsive to remote device allowing for easy removal from pool. ... "
" ... but the timer and the remote is perfect. ... "
" ... I don't really use any of the fancy features like the remote or timing but because I don't need to. ... "
