I was very skeptical about this cleaner. Previously I had tried a pool cleaner similar to the Kreepy Krawley and it worked "ok" - but would sometimes just go around in circles and wouldn't cover the entire 24' above ground pool. This one claimed to have a "programmed" drive mechanism - so I thought I'd see if it worked better. The Pros - tubing the comes with it is durable and long enough to reach my entire 24' pool. It snaps together with "rib-like" connections. The cleaner itself has two "rocker" type feet with rubber pads. The cleaner seems sturdy. When assembled and put into action, its 'feet' propel it forward while a geared drive system steers the cleaner to effectively cover all areas of the pool. Since it sits low to the ground - it does a great job of picking up debris from the pool bottom. It rarely gets stuck and usually if it does - its because the suction is weak and you need to clean the filter or perform a backwash. THE CONS: Few cons here - first, I think the steering needs to allow it to travel in longer "straight path" distances instead of various circular patterns. Second - the tail (which is purely aesthetic) does not stay on and pops off often. And last - the are no brushes, so it does not do anything for wiping algae. Summary: All-in-all its an affordable, hard-working cleaner that rids your pool floor of any debris. It's pretty quick and effective. Make sure your filtration system is running optimum and has good suction - this guy requires good suction to drive the movement pieces AND pick up debris. When I find mine travelling slowly, its usually because my filter needs attention. Everyone also loves how cute it is - so its not just some weird looking device that looks like a leech crawling around your pool. BTW - my Kreepy Krawly got stuck on a rock that magically made its way into my pool one time and it repeatedly bumped up against it thousands of times - and wore a hole in my liner which caused a leak - this device turns by design, so even if it hits a foreign obstacle - it will turn and go away from it in a short period of time, unlike the other which just aggressively tried to get past it. So in my opinion, its safer for your pool floor!Read full review

The product is great! We have a 27' aboveground pool and wanted something to get the leaves/debris out of the bottom before we winterized. This worked great! It is relatively inexpensive compared to the other pool cleaners we looked at. The only negative is that we are going to have to buy two additional "links" in order to get all the way around our pool. We would definitely recommend this product to any of our friends that also has an aboveground pool. Looking forward to seeing how it does next summer.
She does a great job overall. A couple of notes. Hoses did not mate with my Intex intake. I had to buy a Blue adapter to screw into the Intex fitting and buy a few adapters at The Hardware store. If your pool is dirty like mine was....You really have to monitor Wanda and her suction ability. I had to stop Wanda and clean out my filter and unscrew the blue adapter and clean out the intake on the pool wall several times. I then backwashed once. After that, Wanda kept on going and my pool is as clean as ever. She is slow but does a fantastic job. Tail is worthless and does not fit into the grooves.

After shopping for an auto cleaner for my 24" above ground pool I quickly realized that the cost starts low and stops somewhere near the moon. Not wanting to pay for years on a multi thousand dollar unit, but also wanting something that lasts led me to this cleaner. It's simply operated and works well on any dirt, dust, alge, or even minor leaves that fall into my pool. The long and short is I use it weekly and it never fails to do a good job on something that took me an hour or more to do. Love our Wanda.
