Hayward W3PVS20JST Poolvergnuegen Suction Pool Cleaner for In-Ground Pools up to 16 x 32 ft. (Automatic Pool Vaccum)

After our Hayward pool cleaner lost its ooomf, thought we’d go with a plug in cleaner. Went through 2 Dolphin Nautiluss and though we liked the cleaning ability, the cord getting tangled CONSTANTLY, just was too much hassle. Then decided the cordless robot but after 1.5 months didn’t charge anymore and sent back. Plus, I already knew this would be a whole other hassle with fishing it out and recharging. Yuck. So this was all over a few years. Decided to go back to a hose suction type cleaner. Bought this and thought why the heck didn’t we do it sooner! This is no hassle and works great. I want my years of grief back.

Been using a Navigator for 20 years, and just kept rebuilding it, but it slowed down and didn't move. Pool guy recommended this as the best selling pool vacuum so I though why not try it. Did the full clean on the DE filter, baskets, everything else and plugged it in. Instructions say like 11-14 rpm but even with filter system controls almost maxed out it only turns 8 rpm so it won't climb the wall. When I maxed out the controls and moved everything through the vacuum it only made it to 10 rpm. Who knows. It's doing a great job cleaning the bottom. So far, so good.

Easy to assemble. Instuctiin sheet hard to understand. Once you figure RPM on your pump to get Hayward RPM to suggested revolutions, it seems to work good.

Very disappointed with your product half the time it just falls over on its side i regret purchasing it

I just received this pool sweep yesterday and I’m very happy with it. It took about 15 minutes to get set up. Connecting the hoses takes some strength but otherwise it’s really easy. I never realized how poorly my old pool sweep was working until I got this one. It cleaned my entire pool in about an hour on a much lower filter speed than what the old MX6 needed. This means that I can run my filter much lower for longer and save some power useage. As long as this pool sweep doesn’t break for a while then it’s an excellent investment.

It works very well, I bought a more expensive one and had to return it, this one pleasantly surprised me❤️

So far so good!

Purchased this in March, 2024. Now June. Used it maybe 6 times. Put it in the pool today and it won't move. Pulled it out and took the side wheels off and all the ball bearings fell out on both sides. The plastic retainer where they ride is completely chewed up. Cheap China junk. There goes $400. Will never buy another Hayward product again.Update: Since I couldn't return it as it was past the 30 day window (imagine that!) I invested $100 in parts to rebuild it. Not only were the wheel bearing assemblies toast but also the rear axle bearing assembly and the steering gear bearing assembly. After rebuilding it I've used it twice and now, July 11th, it just sits on the bottom of the pool. The turbine is spinning but the wheels aren't turning although I can turn them by hand. Note that I don't leave this in the pool 24/7 but put it in and out as needed. The pool is a chlorine water pool. Have emailed both Hayward and the seller looking for resolution and waiting on response. What a cheap product. Note that prior to this I had a Hayward Pool Vac XL for about 8 years that I only had to do a little maintenance every few years until it finally got to the point of no return. I purchased the 2-wheel version based on the positive reviews but I am seriously not impressed. At all.
