Well I finally bought the Pool Rover Jr and tried it out for the first time yesterday and I am impressed! It does what it is built to do and that is clean the pool and fast! I was a little worried at first that it moves to fast. It rolls over the dirt a little to quick IMO, you then can see the dirt and leaves just blow all around. I was thinking it was not going to clean the pool so I just went in the house and just let it do it's thing. I came out an hour later and the pool was spot less! A few things left over, but for the mess that was in the pool, it was pretty amazing. We have these little balls that fall out of the Oak trees, they are hard little brown things and they just fall in the pool all summer long, it also drops these little pellets, when they get wet, they smear, just a mess. The vacuum was struggling to pick them up on a normal pass, but in the end it got them up!
The cleaner is pretty neat how it cleans. It will go across the pool and it finds the center of the pool, after it finds center, it will then go back and forth from the center to the walls back and forth, back and forth. The wheel are turned slightly with a lock pin and continues this motion over and over! You can then pull the lock pin on the front wheels and have the wheel turn in the opposite direction and it will go over and get the spots that it missed. I am very happy and I hope this machine holds up! So far so good, I give it a thumbs up!
