Pool Buster - Price Increase

[anotherpyr]

I'm debating getting a Pool Buster Max. But I don't see the deals that some of you quote as being available even on ebay. From what I see the Max is $185 (best current price) and the CG is $305. Both prices include shipping.

Is there any reason to pay $125 more for the CG? They don't even throw in the sand and silt filter with CG anymore.

Thanks

The ordinary one works great. Just get the finer filter as a $25 to $30 extra. I've been using the original for years.

eBay. But it doesn't seem to be that much of a savings over the manufacturer's direct online store.

I found a CG Max on eBay for $219. CarlD's right, get the fine filter bag no matter which unit you purchase, because the std bag lets a lot of the little stuff through. I'll be ordering my bag this week...

The CG max *COMES* with the fine filter bag. If it didn't, then you didn't get the full CG package, that might be why it is less on eBay.

In theory, the CG has the following advantages:
- More power (supposedly 30% more)
- Faster charging (1 hour vs. 4 hours)
- Includes the fine filter bag.

The CG replacement motor box is 139 vs. 79 for the regular box, so it better do something better!!!

Every CG package I have looked at (ebay and other online dealers) does not come with the fine filter bag. I don't believe the CG packages offers that anymore.

I, too, have been looking for a "deal." Although I want the extra power the CG says it has, I don't think I'm willing to pay $100 more for it considering I'm going to have to shell out an extra $27-30 for a fine filter bag.

I keep looking, but I really want to get one ordered quickly. Those darn birds keep messing up the pool. I think a quick clean up with the Pool Buster Max will be so much easier that vacuuming with a hose hooked up to the skimmer.

This morning I just bought the standard Poolbuster Max at www.bestbuypoolsupply.com in California, for $190.75 shipped. If I find I need the finer bag, I'll pick it up later.

at bestbuypoolsupply.com they offer a weekly online coupon code discount. Look for it on their website. It's only 2%, but heck, it helps to pay the shipping.

Frontgate has the CG PoolBuster for 349. Very pricey but this is what you get:
Enhanced pool cleaner kit includes concrete pool wheels, vinyl brushes, spot-clean nozzle, extra filter bags, and micro filter bags.
