Does the Aquabot Pool Rover Hybrid vacuum pool floors AND walls or does it just vacuum the pool floor like the Aquabot Pool Rover Jr?

I have watched ours go a quarter of the way up the walls If you have algae on the bottom it does not vacuum it completely but it does get debri and leaves. Hope this helps.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products... This unit is designed to clean pool floors, especially those with sloops. In some pools with at least a 6" pool floor to wall radius it will climb and clean a partial wall.

We have a 24' diameter pool with straight sides. The vacuum only cleans the bottom of our pool. Hope this helps!

I have an above ground pool and it only does my floors. Does not climb walls. It does an excellent job.

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.

Hi this is Steve at Aqua Products: While our unit may work under floating covers Robotic cleaners have floating cables and the cover will most likely affect their ability to move about the pool. So in sum I recommend not to use it while covered. Hope this helps.

I don't use this anymore exceptwhen I have a handyman around. Now I use the auto vacuum cleaner like the Hayward TigerShark. Drop it in the pool and let it work. I brought it from the internet.

Mark, the Pool Rover Jr. is designed to vacuum, so all loose dirt and algae will be cleaned but if the algae is actively growing this unit does not have the capability to scrub like some of our more advanced cleaners.

It uses the same 1 1/2 Intex flex hoses that seem to come with most of it's pools. It has a full set of hoses and even new adapters that go into the pool sides. It is a much better design for the electrical parts, copper element, flow meter, and chlorine chamber, but motor started throwing a bearing after 30 days and just quit completely yesterday after 3 1/2 months of 4hr/day operation. I already had a new motor assembly sitting in garage that Intex shipped overnight when I heard the bearing noise. Hope it last more than 3 1/2 months!

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Yes, the Aquabot is designed to climb and clean up to and including the waterline.

I returned the SharkVac. It didn't do the job...did not climb the walls and did not do a great job cleaning the entire pool. I bought a Dolphin Premier and am happy with its performance. It has two rollers.

We have an inground pool with stairs at the shallow end. This is our 3rd year with this robotic cleaner. This pool cleaner will go around stairs, but it will not climb them. My unit climbs the beveled sides, and even the vertical sides of our pool with no difficulty. Please note: the vacuum bags must be kept clean for the unit to run properly.

I haven't had success with this aquabot picking up algae at all. Have run it twice with no luck. You're better off getting the pool rover jr.

No it doesn't, it cleans the whole pool and goes over the ripples, without a problem. My husband loves this Aquabot. He says its the best thing to slice bread. You can't go wrong if you purchase this.They sell them in the pool stores for more then what they are on here. We love it andour neighbors, just bought one as well. Good luck and please let me know what you think if you make the purchase.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of pool that is, but mine is an above ground with a vinyl liner and the Pool Rover Junior is cleaning it really well... It is very gentle when it goes from side of pool to the other, but I believe I would check with the manufacturer first...

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

I'm not sure as I used it in an in-ground pool, but I cannot recommend it. It broke after only a year or so and required $80 in repairs. I just bought this: Automatic Pool Cleaner Vacuum-generic Kreepy Krauly Pool Cleaner- Sold by NEWPORT BLVD for only $96 and it's not only inexpensive, but it seems to work great.

I've had them both... My mistake was thinking I could run them every day all summer. I started noticing oil slicks on my water surface and found out the hard way that I was burning them up. The hybrid is more powerful and will clean a 15x30 pool in about an hour. The jr. Take longer and the cord tends to tangle after awhile. After each use you'll have to completely straighten before the next use, or you'll burn out the motor. You must leave in the pool for about an hour after cleaning to let the unit cool. Also make sure that if you have it on a timer, you'll need to make sure it's in the water. I liked them while they worked, but opted to start using the pool blaster max vacuum and it works great. Micro bags take out the mustard algae and cleans/charges easily. I hope this helps...

No it doesn't. The vacuum doesn't even move. We had to take it apart and swim to the bottom of the pool and manually do it with the hose. The vacuum does not work.

Well, it does not. It is only for cleaning the walls and floor, which was very poor on our pool.
