Does it pick up sand?

I believe it would. I don't really have fine sand near my pool area. The included bag is quite fine weaved. If you could get the white bag to fit on there, it would, I am certain.

Yes, it also picks up the little granules from roof shingles. My neighbor just put a new roof on and there was a lot of shingle dust in my pool. I used the microfiber sock and it picked up everything! Granted...I had to empty the sock a few times to finish but it worked like a champ! I seriously LOVE this thing!

Yes! But you need the cloth cover over the net. Well worth investing a couple extra bucks to clear the sand. Good luck.

yes...I am getting sand in my pool even though I do not have a sand filter????? That is one of the reasons I bought it!

It will haul dirt too but it doesn't scoop it up well. I have to rake things up in a pile in order for my son to scoop it up.

No, it doesn't. I mainly use it on hard floors and it picks up everything. I also use it on low knap carpets just around areas that I can't vacuum very well with my regular vacuum. I really has a lot of suction for such a little vac. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I have a cat and it picks up all her fine hair and the litter she leaves around her box.

Not very well. I think it would do better if it had suction. It has the ability to collect large amounts ofloose material like leaves etc., and will pick up some loose dirt. I have used mine to clean gutters and loose leaves from asphalt and cement.

It should but not if it is a big pile. Mine takes out dirt, dog hair and leaves.

I must say I am impressed by this little gem - it picks up sand with ease - not sure how the sand might react with the filter - but so far so good.

I really like using it for tile in my kitchen and bathroom before i was the floors, i don't know about sand but it seems to pick up things like sugar and flour pretty well.

Yes it does. You just tilt it back on the big rear wheels & it pushes or pulls easily through the soft sand. It was definitely a great buy. Saves me from making multiple trips to the car.

It will pick up dirt, loose pebbles, and leaves. I have been very pleased with it.

It does not pull good in beach sand. I hate mine. On solid ground or street its great

It can pick up whatever a swiffer cloth picks up. Dirt and sand? Maybe a little. I find it's great for dust and pet hair...

As people have said it a mechnaical dust mop, it will pick up a small amount of sand in the cleaning pad, but it will also push it around too scratching floors in you have a lot. I live on a beach/sand island so everything I tred-in has a bit of sand and this will deal with a few grains off shoes. But, a beach house with people tracking in sand all day it won't deal with. In fact a normal low-end Roomba will do a poor job on that. For a beach house I would buy the Roomba 880/870 series. (Too bad the DirtDog was discontinued)

It is a very good broom for picking up sand etc on the bottom of a spa or small childs or family size blow up pool. Just run a circle and all the dirt goes to the center and you can pick up the stuff real easy. On off is tricky until you get the hang of it and need to use dry hands because it is slippery.

Please be aware this is NOT A VACUUM. It does what a broom or mop would do. So yes it would pick up some dust on the cloth, but dust/sand would be pushed around also.

I bought the pond vac to remove dead "sludge" from the bottom of my water garden ponds.It will certainly pick up sand. I must admit though,that the vacuum power requires constant "tickling" to maintain the vacuum power (the placement of the vacuum has to be ideally below the pond level being vacuumed.

Yes, it does. More expensive models you can hold it right over and it will detect. You must use fast sweeping motions with this one.
