How does this cleaner compare to the Pool Rover Jr? and is their a problem with the power cord tangling.

I can't speak to how it compares to another cleaner since this is the first one I've ever had. I can say that the cord does get twisted despite the anti-tangle device they have on it. I have yet to get it to untwist in the way the manual says it does. Overall, however, we've been pleased with the cleaning power and ease of use.

It seems to help but you need to watch for two issues; the Twister can clog up with leaves and debris and the pressure on your cleaner may be set too high. With settings right, mine never gets twisted and the Twister has solved a problem with spots not previously cleaned with just the automatic cleaner. I do have mine attached to my leaf canister and directly insert both in the pool side inlet because it will not seal completely without being under water.

The Intex is a fairly decent pool vac, but it will only pick up loose dirt and debris, like any pool vac will. Get your chemical balance right and use a hard pool brush (no metal!) to loosen up the algae, then use the pool vac to clean it up. I did learn that the standard 1500 GPH pump does not have enough output power to make this pool vac move. You'll need the 2500 GPH pump (which runs about $85 here on Amazon) and a clean filter to make it run good. You'll also find that the 2500 GPH pump does a lot better job at filtering your pool water.

I bought mine on this website as I have had good luck with products I've purchased here. This machine is incredible! It's light and moves easily over the floor. My floor is so, so clean after using. You must think about where you plug it in so you don't walk over just cleaned area or wait for that area to dry. Guess how I learned this! The other thing that doesn't bother me but may bother others is that you must wait until the pressure releases before emptying and putting away. Don't buy a Shark - they're junk.

Mine moves at a very fast pace and it is the best cleaner I have owned. It climbs up the walls and stairs and cleans very well. Maybe you have a leak in a hose piece or your pool motor is to small.

I returned the SharkVac. It didn't do the job...did not climb the walls and did not do a great job cleaning the entire pool. I bought a Dolphin Premier and am happy with its performance. It has two rollers.

I live in the hi desert, and have a 9' x 18' above ground pool. The charge lasts long enough (30 minutes) to clean the pool. It has good suction, and does pick up sand, bugs and small leaves. It does not pick up large rocks or pebbles. It has a thin outer bag, and a small coarser bag to hold larger than sand debris. Best to recharge after each use. Worth having.

I have used mine for 2 years and have never experienced that problem. Have you checked to make sure the cloth filter doesn't need cleaning? I love mine, I never have to vac my pool. It was well worth the money. I would recommend this rover to anyone. I'm a widow, so it's just me to keep my pool clean. I have 4 grandkids that help mess it up...lol lol

No I never had any problems with that. I did have problems last year (bought this several years ago) with wires breaking in the head. Best vacuum I ever had. Beat my friend's Dyson! Picked up more dirt

My biggest problem is when the cord curls, it will stop the forward motion. When not in use I have to hang the cord straight over the pool deck. It will cross the pool, but sometimes mine takes awhile to manage it.

The system that came with the pool has held up well, but it is not strong enough to pull the vacuum system. I have an self propelled crawler for cleaning the bottom.

I have the electric one it does have a bad bouncing to it and realily only works pulling it. Bad on backs. Really soft dirt works best for it.

in place you retrieve by the cord, i have had numerous pool cleaners but this is the best,if you're thinking about buying this one your investment is great for water maintenance. john b.................. cairns australia

The Suction Pool Cleaner is better because it uses water pressure to run while your pool pump is running. No additional power is necessary. In addition, your pool must already have a connecting port for the Suction Cleaner to work.

Ive had my Shark for around 5 years now & have had no problems. I do have to turn in over & get the hair from it but, other than that it's been a great sweeper for me. It doesn't sound weak. It doesn't pick up anything when it's been used alot.

No it does not run the cleaner not enough horsepower. I had bought the pool rover he does a good job but does not scrub the bottom. I would recommend buying a cleaner with scrubber on it.

I'm not really sure what you are asking. And I don't know if I even know the difference between the commercial brands compared to the residential typles. I can tell you that the Dolphin Robotic pool cleaner is wonderful. It not only cleans our inground pool wonderfully it is also much faster than our old (nitro) cleaner.
