Not as good as it should be.
2 of 2 found this helpful No matter how much I adjust the wheels it does not seem to ever clean the whole pool. I have a 15x30 above ground pool that I thought this would do a great job on, based on the reviews I read. Maybe it's because my pool is oval and not a rectangle? Also it gets stuck in the corner where the stairs are. I think that might be because, being an oval pool, there's not much room for it to maneuver before it hits the curve of the pool wall. It has no trouble picking up big debris but seems to leave behind the really fine stuff. The bottom of my pool is not perfectly smooth, as is the case with most above ground pools, and if there is any fine debris in one of the very small spots that are irregular, unlevel, or wrinkled, it goes right over it and the dirt is still there. So if your pool floor isn't perfectly smooth, expect to have a few spot like this. They call this a "robotic" pool cleaner but I'm not sure where the robot intelligence is. It doesn't map the bottom of the pool, so it's not like it knows where it's at. From what I can tell, it has a turbine propulsion system that moves it back and forth, and an adjustable offset wheel axel that makes it turn slightly with each back and forth cycle. This makes it no more intelligent than the Aquabug which is totally gear-driven. On a positive note, it appears to be well-made and is super easy to operate. I can't say it's a good value because it doesn't do the job it's supposed to in my pool.

Adjustable Pressure!
This is super easy to use to adjust the suction from the pump to your pool vacuum. Some high performance pumps with 1.5 hp + motors create too much suction which can cause your aquabug or other automatic cleaners to not function properly. This tool makes it easy to adjust the suction!

Awesome Bug!
1 of 1 found this helpful I have a 15x30 pool and it takes a while but it does a great job of cleaning. We had a "Lil' Shark" at first and it did a terrible job and cost more than the aqua bug. The bug is bigger and actually agitates the dirt as it "drives" over it so it all gets sucked up and leaves you with a super clean pool! Aqua bug is worth every penny!
