I've used mine for 3 seasons and always liked it but the battery life was short. So at the beginning of last season I contacted them about it and they told me, no, that wasn't normal. The warranty was a year out of date so they couldn't just fix it, but they sold me a new battery/motor pack, gave me a new charger (I couldn't find mine) and I got the fine mesh filter.
WOW! It went from a good, recommendable machine to a GREAT one! I use that and a Blue Diamond robotic and nothing else anymore. The P/B is strong enough to TOTALLY replace a standard skimmer hand vacuum permanently. And the fine filter bag gets the fine stuff.
Combine a P/B, a robotic (like the B/D or an AquaBot) and skimmer socks and pool maint is a snap. Has been for me for a couple of years now.
