Hm-m-mh. I actually started checking out this thread, to make sure y'all weren't shilling for a product company.
But, it looks like the products may well be as functional as you say; I check the Amazon reviews in some detail. Most were quite positive, and some of the negative ones seemed to be from folks who expected the vacuums to perform as well as a manual vacuum connected via a skimmer to a powerful in-ground pool pump.
There's been a lot of demand for functions these devices may provide, so I'm going to post links and then ask, as loudly as I can, if you get one of these, tell us how it worked out for you.
OK.
"PoolBlaster" is a the model name for a line of battery powered pool vacuum units made by Water Tech of New Jersey. Water Tech may to be an American company, but the products are probably Asian imports. (Contact info below)
There are 5 models shown on Water Tech's product comparison page; I've linked the three that seemed most relevant to me. The product links go directly to Amazon.
