I've been a fan of the P/B for several seasons. I believe I was the first to write about trying it and recommending it.

I DID have a problem that I wrote about--it wouldn't hold the charge it was supposed to and then would run slowly. If you have this, be SURE to contact them during the warranty period--it's a bad battery in the battery/motor unit and they'll replace it. I didn't and ended up having to buy a new battery, because it was way, WAY out of warranty. However the new battery/motor made it better than it ever ran before.

It should be super-powerful and hold a good, long charge. If it doesn't contact them for a replacement. Just so you know.

And yes, I DO recommend the PoolBuster. I haven't had my manual vacuum out in 2 years!.
