    I just looked this cleaner over online and, IMHO, it is missing a very important feature that is found in every other pressere cleaner, even such "cheapies" as the Polaris 165 and 65 and Pentair JetVac.....a sweep hose! A sweep hose is an essential part of a pressure cleaner as far as I am concerned, and this is the first one I have seen that does not have one. In fact some pressure cleaners only have a sweep hose that directs the dirt to the pool drain and do not have a vacumn bag at all! (Arnson PoolSweep...now a Pentair product). All Polairis, Pentair, Hayward, and Zodiac pressure cleaners have a sweep hose whether they are booster pump models or boosterless! This is one of the features that makes pressure side cleaners better than suction side.

    This thing just looks like a self propelled LeafMaster on wheels.

    Just my 2 cents.
