    Thanks for the opinions - I think I'll go with the Pressure side cleaner - Any one have an opinion on the Polaris 360 - I have a dedcated return for the cleaner but not a booster pump?

    Have a booster pump installed and go with the 380 if you are going with Polaris.

    I just received my Polaris 360 yesterday (bought in on eBay for a great price). My dad has had one for years and it works pretty good. I borrowed his for about 2 weeks to put in my new pool and it does a very good job. The pool came with the Jandy Ray-Vac, and that thing just kept getting stuck by the steps (even after numerous adjustments).

    Think I'll go with the 360 - Its a new pool and i have been spending $$$ like crazy - Don't want to fork out for a booster pump

    The 360 is a good unit but the 380 with a booster pump (or even the 280 with a booster pump) will probably outperform it
