There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm experienced with maintaining a pool. I have a System 3 diatomaceous earth filter that has 53 sq ft of filter space. Run the pump 12 hours a day at 2200rpm to achieve balance between energy usage and turning the pool over (happens about every 3 hours according to the math).
I loath hauling out my pole, sweeper, filter canister, and connecting all of this to the pump via the skimmer to vacuum the floor and sides of my pool. Take too long, too many nuances. Been doing it this way for decades. I figured technology could make it easier for me. Aside - I don't use an auto vacuum since I have dogs that swim all the time. Don't want them to catch a hose and drown.
The main things that litter my floor are dog hair, sand / crushed granite from nearby paths, material from the roof of my house, leaves from many trees, and DE powder from when I spray the filters after vacuuming (backs out thru the line).
I grew up swimming in creeks so having a perfectly clean pool isn't my goal. I just know I need to clean it from time to time in order to keep algae from forming. In general, I keep my DE filter clean by back washing once a month, I vacuum the floor about once a month, and I skim weekly.
I finally decided to try one of the automated, cordless vacuums. These are the ones I tried.

Winner was the Pool Blaster.
Paxess
- Filter screen is about 180µm which wasn't able to catch all the DE (DE is generally less than 100µm in size). The unit blew much of the DE back into the water. It did filter some.
- Wasn't strong enough to climb up from my deep end so it remained in the deep end.
- I felt the Paxess performed better than the Aiper in my pool. Might not for yours.
- Charging was easy. Battery worked fine. Lasted about an hour.
Aiper
- Filter screen was much too big. Couldn't catch DE nor sand. Manufacturer didn't disclose size of filter. Blew debris right back into pool.
- Unit claims to climb up walls. Mine didn't. It would attempt to climb it, back flip, then try again...over and over as it worked around the pool. Very odd behavior.
- Charging was easy. Battery worked fine. Lasted about an hour.
Pool Blaster Max CG
- I really like this tool. It's different than the robots. It's a self contained, battery operated, cordless device. But, you attach it to the end of your pole.
- I'm used to using a pole to work on my pool and I like the exercise of using my legs, arms, and core.
- So, this tool really spoke to me.
- Comes with 2 filters: one for general debris and one for super fine stuff like DE. The DE one is excellent! It captured all of my DE. However, I had to empty it after every length of the pool (short length of about 6 feet). I had to empty it about 30 times in order to clean all the DE off the entire bottom of my pool. This sucked (<-- pun)
- So, I modified my approach. I turned up my pool motor to max RPM and scrubbed the pool to get the DE in solution. Then the next day I vacuumed with the general filter. This seemed to greatly help but it wasn't perfect.
- So, I reset my expectations and my process. The next time I sprayed the filters in my DE bubble, I emptied the bubble into my sewer line of my house (very easy and fast for me to do). I don't run backwash / pool water waste to my yard because the chlorinated water damages my trees and vegetation. Then, I capped my line that goes back to my pool. Spray quickly. Then reassemble and I'm done.
- Now, when I use the Pool Blaster, I can use the general filter basket and I can vacuum the whole pool in 30 min. Doing it the old way with the hose, vacuum head, canister, etc used to take 2 hours because of how many times I had to stop and tend to the nuances. I also had to backwash / clean the filters in the DE bubble to avoid algae building up in the bubble
- Emptying the filter of the pool blaster is super fast. Take me less than 2 min. I shake it out into a bucket, then I rub it while dunking it into the skimmer. Then back to work.
Suggestion to Pool Blaster
If they had a filter that was in between the size of the fine one and the general one, it'd be even better.
Overall, I'm happy with the Pool Blaster.
I'm happy that the time to done is 30 min vs 2 hours. And, I don't have to clean my DE filter after vacuuming the pool to avoid algae building up in the DE canister. The Pool Blaster is a completely separate tool which means my DE filter remains untouched and hence I don't have to clean it every time. We live in a hot, humid environment so fighting algae is always a thing. Giving 5 stars since my use case might be odd.
***The 3rd season the vacuum stopped working so I sent it in to be repaired under extended warranty I purchased but they could not fix it. They refunded the price of the vacuum which was $249.99 but I had to eat the cost of tax and extended warranty. I bought a Dolphin Nautical automatic vacuum and I had to purchase another extended warranty. So far I’m very happy with the dolphin and it’s a lot less work. Just put it in the pool and watch it work instead of you!😃
But plastic construction seems flimsy.
Snapping the vacuum head on to seal bag is difficult and feels like the plastic snap will break eventually.
Also difficult to plug into recharge. Socket on side is very hard to line up and snap into place. There is no indicator that battery actually charging or when has a full charge.
Since there is no cover on vacuum socket, when remove from water the socket is wet. I don’t attempt charging until that socket has dried out.
Having said all that, it does work. Evidence is in the bag after vacuuming.
