I am trying to decide between this model and polaris 280. Does anyone have experience with both? Which does a better job?

I have had both and the Kreepy Krauly works much better then the Polaris 280. The Polaris is forever getting hung-up and spraying water out of the pool. Or it ties itself into knots going in circles. I have had zero problems with the Kreepy Krauly Legend.

Yes I have owned both. Go with the Pentair not only is it cheaper I have hadabsolutely zero problems out of it. The Polaris always need to be repaired whether it be bearings, gears, jets cleaned it was always something to the point where I would keep extra parts on hand. and I'm not talking about just regular maintenance unless Polaris considers regular maintenance to be 3 to 4 times times a year.

I don't have experience with both, but I think a 4-wheel cleaner is likely to be more stable than a 3-wheel cleaner and climb the pool wall better. I recently chose the Kreepy Krauly, and I've been very happy with it.

I have had both, they work equally well. The only difference I have noticed, really, is the Kreepy Krauly does do a better job of covering every nook and cranny where the Polaris doesn't always cover every inch of the pool and can always miss the same spot. Other than that they are the same. Hope it helps :)

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!

not sure of the difference, we have a Polaris 280 and the g52 is what we use.

It is definitely worth purchasing. Without one, the tail of the Polaris will wear down as it scrapes on the pool, and you will have to replace the tail if you do not protect it. Beyond that, the scrubber brushes the pool as the Polaris runs.

Go to the Vendor by Amazon Email--He was very helpful to me and I have the Unit on my 2012 UTV Polaris 800XL EPS Crew--I will also advise, if you are not really good at putting things on your Unit---It's worth an hour to have them install. Personally, I do not plan to top the top window down but should I want I can.

If you are talking about the Polaris 360 versus the 280 there is a huge difference in how your pool is plumbed. You should really talk to your local dealer. The 280 is designed for a booster pump and the 360 is not.

Absolutely, you will need toget the correct mounting plate from the aftermarket or directly from polaris mounting and wiring is pretty basic stuff..allow yourself 4-5 hours to complete factory caliber install depending on ability. Winch works great...quiet...mmd

I have used these on the Pentair Legend. I have interchanged many parts between the Pentair and Polaris sweepers and this is one of them.

i think polaris snomobile runs a vacuum pump or a 88 honda 350 foreman (electric) its more about how much you want to spend

yes I believe all the sizes on the end of the polaris sweep are the same. mine is a 380 about 7 years old

The Polaris, like most pool cleaners, is powered by water pressure, and requires professional installation. The water pressure is provided by a separate pump that uses the filter return water and jets it through a separate return line (1") into a fitting in the pool wall. The "wet end" of the Polaris system attaches to the water return. I have the model 280. It does a great job. More info here: http://www.polarispool.com/Pressure/Polaris-280.aspx

On the 3900 there is no cleaner float. There is one on the 380 & 390. If you get on the polaris site, you can download a manual for the product and it will provide you with trouble shooting issues as well.

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.
