Hi NewPoolGuy! I also have a Polaris 65 and it does well on the big stuff --- leaves, twigs, helicopters from the maple trees, etc. But, I also found that it would not get the dirt, dust, sand. I recently bought a Wanda the Whale and she does a good job on this finer stuff. She randomly "walks" around the pool slowly and she gets it all. I got it for $100 from Amazon plus $12 shipping.

BTW --- you might want to edit your post and remove your email address. Lots of email harvesters out there searching for emails to pick up off the web and then fill with spam. Probably better to just let people reply to you here on the forum. (You can click the blue EDIT button in the lower right-hand corner of your post.)

Hope this helps.
