I also bought a Polaris 65 for my AG. It does do a very good job of picking up larger debris (leaves, twigs, etc.), but not so good about picking up dirt. Even with the cotton balls in it, it still doesn't do that great. Bottom line is that I can do a much more thorough and faster job myself with my manual vac, so that is what I do. I think I only used the Polaris once or twice all last season.
