Will Mirra clean the debris floating on the surface of the pool? Or just debris that is along the floor or walls?

It will not - it doesn't float, it climbs walls/floor/stairs and can only get things it can travel over on surfaces. It does a great job though, even on leaves, and doing a quick skim of the surface with the hand held skimmer has been pretty easy for us compared to having to dredge up detritus from the pool floor...

she seems to clean everything- when she comes to the surface, it churns the water just enough to push anything on top to the bottom. this is the best thing ever for the pool- i've spent so much time fussing and fiddling with things getting stuck in the hose with my last vacuum that i got fed up and gave the mirra a try- can't tell you how much time/effort i've saved. worth the dollars!

It will get only a small amount IF the debris is along the top of the wall permitter. This unit is for the floor and walls.

the Mirra will only clean debris on the floor and walls...it does a very good job, but for floating junk you need PoolSkim Pool Skimmer and Pool Cleaner...works great!

The Mirra will clean the sides and the bottom of the pool. Not the surface unless the debris falls down. It will only climb 1 step really good 2 ok. But it is awesome! No hoses to mess with. just drop it in and let it go.

Jim, mine is on the vacuum line to the pool sweep. It gets anything on the bottom including bugs. The skimmer gets anything floating on the surface. Charlie K. Anaheim Ca.

Only if they are on the pool side of the liner. Try to brush them off with a vinyl safe pool brush. If they don't budge, that means the algae is on the inside of the liner and those require pulling the liner away from the wall and special treatment- consult a pool professional. If the spots do brush away, remove all possible and vacuum, backwash and treat. This product should do the job but follow directions for visible algae growth. Do not use an automatic pool cleaner to vacuum, it will spread the algae and not remove it.

a pump/filter and a floater with chlorine are a must and is really all you need to keep it clean. a net helps for keeping out the larger debris that gets in the pool. :)

We have a concrete pool, so I pull, push, and scoop with it! No worries about damage for us. It's great to be able to skim surface leaves all at one time instead of emptying frequently. And stuff stays in it. If I have leaves/debris on the deep end (10ft) floor, I get the edge of this at the beginning of the mess and push slowly until it has gone into the net. We have rounded and sloped areas in the deep end, that's why sometimes I'm pulling debris on the bottom towards me to get it.

No there is very little debris. I think I would have to use a comb to remove shredded pieces as it says in the care instructions. My cat loves scratching this lounger.

I own a vinyl pool but have never used the vacuum. Sorry I couldn't help. My pool just never gets that dirty.

it cleans on a random pattern, it does a great job at covering the whole pool floor. It successfully climbs & scrubs the walls. It does climb the stairs but it does not always clean them 100%. Overall, this is the best pool cleaner that I have ever used. I could not be happier with the purchase.

I wouldn't recommend reducing the filter run time just because you used a pool cleaning robot. The Mirra 530 has coarse filters which do a nice job capturing leaves, sand, and grit that are sitting on the bottom of the pool. The pool filter for capturing fine particulates and algae that are already suspended in the pool water. So the Mirra 530 is nice to have, but just think of it as a substitute for vacuuming.

Depending on how high the water level is, it may be right on the water's surface or a little above. I don't remember having a problem with trapping dirt underneath. Usually it keeps the junk out of the pool.

i cannot endorse this cleaner enough, all debris - however rocks i don't know as i didn't have any in my pool

The canister which collects the debris is usually mounted in the garage somewhere. With mine you unlatch, twist off, remove and carefully dump the debris in an oversized bag. i.e. creates a big dust cloud when dumped. If you mean how to clean the hoses mounted in the walls.... Since all the debris is carried to the canister it probably does not matter. Any hand held part or attachment could be cleaned in a sink with soap and water (Do not submerge any electrical parts or cords though!). Good luck.

the "footprint" would be too small and would damage the pool!!! suggest that you use a 'shower mat' to protect the pool..

No, it will have no problems with ripples or bumps on the bottom of the pool. Just be aware that the cord tangles with every use. The aquabot jr does a great job cleaning. You will have to untangle its cord after every use.

I think the "skimmer" they're talking about is the little basket filter that pulls floating debris from the top of the pool. Yes, that does come with it. Professional pool people think of something else when they think about a skimmer. The only thing this doesn't have that we miss is a really good "vacuum" for cleaning debris off the bottom of the pool, but we've been able to keep our pool clean using the mediocre one that's included.

No this does not filter leaves or debris from the pool surface. The floatron keeps the pool water from turning green without chemicals. I love it. We just used a net to skim the surface of the water to get the leaves out. We never had any problems with this and our pool stayed clear all season.

This cleaner was inexpensive .... which means cheap. I don't know about packed sand floors but my main issue is it not covering the whole pool! The bags will be full so it does pick up fine debris but I can't recommend this cleaner.
