    • Very effective
Style: 2-Wheel
Absolutely blown away by this thing. I’ve have a g3 barracuda I’ve been using for 10yrs now. It did a decent job and was way better than vacuuming manually. I left it in the pool 24/7 and depending on the time of year had it running several hrs a day. Pool would be decent but struggled with leaves and pine needles especially in fall and winter here in FL. Over the last 10yrs the trees behind my property line have grown and throw way more leaves and pine needles in my pool every year and the barracuda struggles more and more, constantly getting clogged and not working. Got my aquanaut 2 days ago hooked it up, dialed it in as close as I could to the correct rpm. This thing is a beast just sucking up everything within a few hours it had my filthy pool almost spotless. I have a zodiac leaf canister hooked up as well and had to dump it 4-5 times as well as the cleaner got jammed up with debris a few times in the hrs it ran. While the cleaner did get clogged I don’t fault the cleaner as my pool was an absolute mess with leaves, pine needles, bark and some small sticks, that is beyond anything the aquanaut is advertised to do and directions say to clean out large debris prior to using the aquanaut. No that the pool is clean I have no doubt it will run flawlessly without getting clogged. I did have to run my Hayward variable speed pump almost 300rpm higher to achieve the correct rpm on the aquanaut. At first I’d did not like this as it pulls almost 200w more power but from the looks of it I will be able to drastically cut down the hrs of cleaner time. I was running my barracuda cleaner 4hrs a day and looks like I will be able to run the aquanaut under 2hrs which will save a few $ over the yrs of use. One thing I wish I had researched was the big difference between the 2 wheel vs 4 wheel version being the 4 wheel does longer straight aways before turning aka for larger pools. I thought the 4 wheels was more for climbing and traction from deep end to shallow. Again not the cleaners vault it’s mine but the good news is they make the gear to gain that ability for the 2 wheel and it’s on like $13. ... show more

    • Great Cleaner. Better Than The Hayward Ultra Vac It Replaced
Style: 2-Wheel
So we have been using the Hayward Ultra Vac and in years past the Hayward Navigator. I bought the parts (A Frame, Pods, Turbine, Rubber Feet, etc) and it cost me about $100 for all that. In the past, it was easy and the unit worked after I replaced the parts. This time it didn't (not sure if I did something wrong but I'm tired of rebuilding everything). The parts wear out pretty darn quickly as it runs everyday in our pool. Now..enter the new Hayward Aquanaut 2 wheel drive cleaner. It has a turbine with adjustable size flaps for larger debris to enter without clogging. Much simpler workings inside and the really only part that looks like it will need regular replacing is the set of rubber tires that I think cost about $15 a set. I hooked it up tonight and our pool was covered in leaves. In just one hour, most were gone and in the large leaf canister (Hayward) inline on the new Aquanaut cleaner. I tried going with a different brand/model based on reviews and the Barracuda G3 I purchased was complete garbage. Got stuck in corners, passed over leaves and didn't pick them up...not good at all. The Hayward Ultra Vac was about $379 and this 2 wheel Aquanaut was $449. For the difference, I'm guessing it will be easier to maintain and it did a fantastic job of cleaning our pool t his evening. The 4 wheel is probably great too but recommended for larger pools with a deeper deep end (ours is only about 6 feet deep). The steering on the Aquanaut is great as it seems to randomly cover every square inch of our pool. The tires have a nubby that sticks out on each one that helps ensure it won't get stuck at a corner or on a drain that sticks up in the deep end. It also covers well both deep and shallow end of our pool ( I see so many complaints about cleaners that stay in one area only...not so here). Yes it's more than I expected to spend but it works great. I highly recommend this cleaner. Great for leaves. ... show more

    • Best pool cleaner ever
Style: 4-Wheel
I had to replace my “The Pool Cleaner” recently after many years of great cleaning. Hayward purchased “The Pool Cleaner” (as far as I know) but only made some very minor changes. I took the old cleaner out, replaced it with the new one and it worked flawlessly. This cleaner never gets stuck and does a very good job to keep my pool clean. I highly recommend it. ... show more

    • Inflated Price, Awesome Performance
Style: 2-Wheel
The Hayward Aquanaut 200 and the Pool Cleaner are virtually identical and are both made by Hayward . They work exceptionally well at vacuuming our pool. Almost everything in the vacuum cleaner is plastic, except for a couple of stainless steel pins. The rubber treads have to be replaced frequently, even when used on a soft fiberglass pool. I'm guessing you'd have to replace them monthly when using on a gunnite pool. The gears are all plastic, and can strip out easily. I'd expect this to last about 1.5 to 2 years prior to needing repair or replacement based on my experience with the Pool Cleaner. The hose seems to be of very high quality, compared to another hose I purchased separately. I just wish they lasted longer. RECOMMENDED. ... show more
