Polaris 165

I agree with watermom on the fine stuff but if you have lots of leaves I does a good job. My 65 is 10 years old and other than replacing hoses and bags it is still in service. BTW I contacted customer service and told them I aquired it used and they still were very helpfull thats a big plus for me. It's not smart or fast It does not get everything but if you get lots of leaves its worth looking into.

I like my 165. I DID have a problem with the floating unit, but Polaris sent me new guts under warranty with no hassle. I installed them and it's been fine. In between when my Dolphin failed and my Blue Diamond arrived I dragged it out and it worked perfectly.

I have had the 165 for about 4 years and I like the results I get with it. I do find that it has a hard time with debris in the corners. I use the 165 all the time a do some touch up with my Poolbuster.

Not a bad unit for the price.

Question: So the actual "unit" floats on the surface of the pool?? That sounds kind of weird; guess I'm used to the "chug around the bottom" models.

There is a unit that floats on the top of the water and a hose that has a bag at the end of it that drug along the bottom collecting the debris.
