I have a robotic cleaner for my pool. Would this be good as a second to get sand/dirt off steps and missed spots?

I didn't like it and sent it back. The little net filter thing never stayed in place and sand went back into the pool. Also the small amount of water it would take in didn't help either. I got the Catfish that was slightly more but works great.

Yes probably. The suction is great, it's just that it only can pick up a little at a time, then u empty the water from tube and do it again that's all. But yes the suction is very good

Certainly, it can be used if you need to touch up missed spots. It is manual and works by suction.

this is mainly for spas or small areas it only has a 2 inch nozzle so yes it will work but not for large areas. thanks

It's not really suited for handling large debris. It should only be used for keeping algae growth and small particles out of your pool after the large stuff has been removed.

I found the AquaBot to be the most efficient way to clean my pool. It's simple to use, and cleaning the 2 filter bags is very easy. Plug it in, center it in the middle of the pool and off it goes. In less than an hour the pool is clean and the unit shuts itself off. I highly recommend the AquaBot.

It works very well on mine but if it also had a brush attachment to it, it would even work better. I live in Arizona where micro-dust is picked up by the wind and deposited into the pool. It is so fine that the catch screening clogs up almost immediately. I had to cut the fabric and allow my pool filter to catch the sand and occasionally backwash my filter to keep the suction at premium.

Depending on the size of your pool, this product takes forever to clean very little. It picked leaves and larger items up well. Sand and other residue - not so much. It stirred more up than it sucked up. I have a 16' x 4' round above ground pool. --edit - just realized you have a spa. May be ok for that. I just wouldn't expect a lot of bang for your buck.

yes, it works great for small areas. You would not use it to vacuum the entire bottom of a pool.

Yes it cleans sloped surfaces down to the deep end. My pool is 35 feet long, and varies in depth from 3-12 feet. It does a good job on the gradual slope down to the deep end. However, on the steep sloped sides of the deep end, it can't make it up the sides. I also have to run it twice to cover the whole pool, but that is no problem. Overall, this has been a great little bot.

It cleans leaves and debris very well. However it mostly ignores dirt which clings to the bottom. My creepy crawly actually works much better but requires that the pump be turned on and the crawly be plugged into the skimmer. Another problem is the creepy is not compatible with the AquaBot since they will get tangled up if used together. The creepy crawly is a much better cleaner overall. I don't think I would buy the AquaBot if I had it to do over again since it doesn't clean the dirt off the bottom - just debris. It even picked up a large rock on the bottom one time.

No pool robot works on steps, I brush my steps off first manually then fire up the robot. People bitching about the 9300 not doing steps are probably wanting a robot that will do everything from wipe their bums to flip their pancakes, needless to say it ain't gonna happen.

I have the intex auto pool cleaner. It is amazing. Was shocked to see that it sucked up the fine Florida sugar sand from the bottom of my pool.

No, the AquaBot does not clean or climb the walls of above ground pools. It does, however, do a great job cleaning the bottom of the pool in a relatively short period of time.

No it does not run the cleaner not enough horsepower. I had bought the pool rover he does a good job but does not scrub the bottom. I would recommend buying a cleaner with scrubber on it.

Yes, this robot scrubs the walls as it climbs up to the water line. I have a liner in my pool, and it keeps everything clean as long as I do my part of keeping the chemical levels right. I've been using my robot all summer and there is no way I could have kept my pool as clean as it is by just manually vaccuuming with that pole. I never use a regular pool vaccuum any more, just the robot a couple times a week. Also, if I have to add a lot of chemicals, and get powdery residue I will run the robot and it gets rid of that as well. The 9400 Sport robot is the single best investment I've ever made in my 13 years of pool ownership. Yes, this robot scrubs the walls as it climbs up to the water line.

Mine moves at a very fast pace and it is the best cleaner I have owned. It climbs up the walls and stairs and cleans very well. Maybe you have a leak in a hose piece or your pool motor is to small.

I bought this for my in-ground pool that is free-form with an uneventful and sloped bottom. It works very well, with great vacuuming capacity-picking up leaves, dirt, and even stones. It takes me about 10 minutes to clean the pool bottom each day before swimming. The key is to turn it on before submersing it in the water.

Absolutely! The Bissell will clean better. You really don't want solid dirt in the machine. It will still find some though. I vacuumed thoroughly twice and the Bissell still had some grit in the dirty water.
