I ran across this little guy while looking for a deal on a Pool Buster: http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/aqu...=4&zmap=ABROOM

I figured for $50 vs. the Pool Buster, I'd try it. Here are my impressions:

The unit uses 5 D cell batts and attaches to your existing pole. You twist the handle to turn it on.

It works good on the built in steps of my pool for leaves, bugs, etc if you move slow. The Dolphin can't get to these steps, so it fits that job perfectly.

The bag doesn't capture small particles, so I added several cotton balls to help capture the fine stuff.

I think it would be ideal for small above ground pools, kiddie pools, hot tubs, etc. I woudn't try to clean the entire pool with it, but it makes quick work of the "touch up" cleaning for those random things that get in the water at night.

I think the batts should last awhile, as I'll only use it for 5 minutes a week or so.

Anybody else have one??
