Hi Mom,

Seems to me I spent $150 on Wanda a few years ago, and I would recommend it. Never had any problems with tearing liners or anything else. I did have a few bearings go out in it and had them replaced, and there are two "EARS" that had to be replaced last year.

For the price, I would say it does an admirable job compared to its pricey competators. When my pool turned green then cloudy, Wanda seemed to stir up more than it eliminated but I also blame some of that on the Sand filter not being able to catch it all and returning it back into the pool.

Just make sure you buy more hose than the diameter of the pool. I think I have 27-30 feet of hose in a 24 foot AG pool. If your pool is oblong, you may need more hose than what comes in the box.
