    • Very Good Pool Cleaner
Size: 360 Model Style: Cleaner
This is our 3rd Polaris 360 in the 16 years we’ve had our pool. Durability is very good but this latest purchase has a seen a drop in quality of some important components. Both the rear float valve and the critical backup valve were defective-the float valve filled with water on the first day of usage and the backup valve refuses to backup the cleaner as efficiently as to what I’m accustomed. In contacting Polaris support via Amazon support I found that the link on Amazon is for Polaris ATV’s and not Polaris Pool products. Polaris ATV was kind enough to provide the correct link to Polaris Pool but it’s now been over 2 weeks with no response. When working properly, the Polaris 360 is a great pool cleaner that does operates off the pool filter pump requiring no separate pump. My best advice to others is to utilize genuine Polaris replacement parts over knockoffs that have proven to me to be less than reliable. ... show more

    • Workhorse of a pool cleaner!
Size: 280 Model Style: Cleaner
My last Polaris 280 was probably about 10 years old. Instead of continuing to replace worn out parts, I decided to just buy a new one. I'm glad I did! My old one had started slowing down and falling apart. This new one runs laps around my pool, and does a great job keeping the floor clean. I also added the tail sweep pro with scrubber since it can be a little difficult reaching parts of the floor with my extendable brush. ... show more

    • Purchased Polaris 360 and eliminated my pressure pump. Eliminated 10 amps of power use.
Size: 360 Model Style: Cleaner
I swore I would never buy Polaris again. Been through two Polaris 280 model. The supply line on the 280 would never soften up to allow the unit to reach the whole pool. Yes, in Texas, in July with very warm water. The hose still was not flexible enough. Constant need of new tires. Even with the stiff supply hose the unit did do a Great job cleaning the pool. I decided in order to save power I eliminated the pressure pump to save approximately 10 amps. That’s substantial. I bought the Polaris 360 which doesn’t need a separate pressure pump. Being a licensed HVAC contractor I know a lot about pressure and plumbing ect. I did not eliminate the standard return jets in order to get enough water and pressure to the hook up to the Polaris 360. I modified my plumbing and can turn a valve and give the 360 all the water it needs. While allowing plenty of water to circulate to the stock water return jets. I have to be careful that I don’t give the 360 too much water. Now : opinion of the Polaris 360. The larger diameter supply hose is thin and cheap. It’s ridiculously thin. And the way Polaris connects its fittings to the hose is kindergarten technology. Reverse thread and two of the pre installed swivels leaked. Had to order new swivels. Three to a bag. And one of those is leaking. Incredibly cheaply made. I have used a superior quality vinyl electrical tape to go over and help secure the hose to the swivels. But where the swivels, swivel, you can’t tape there. And they leak there. 8 bucks a swivel with a over 25% failure rate out of the package. AND. A week after installing the 360 I noticed the unit on its side. Cruising on the bottom sideways. I knew that meant a bad float. But at one week ?!! Sure enough the unit mounted float was half full of water. It too is made of very thin plastic. Unbelievable !!! I drilled a very small hole in it to get the water out. Then temporarily taped up my new hole and the seam of the float. My thoughts. I would have easily paid 100 bucks more to have a quality supply hose and float. I have yet to know what cheap material is inside the unit. Note : this Polaris only cost 425 dollars on Amazon. Brick and mortar stores want about 300 dollars more. Just plan on spending another hundred dollars to get your 360 in good working order What I very much like about the 360 vs the 280. The 360 has 3 jets forcing debris into the collection bag. 280 only has 2. And remember on the 280 you must have a separate pressure pump. The collection bag on the 360. It mounts horribly ! I’ve had to tape it on too. It does not connect the same way that the 280 does. Honestly I think the engineers had to work hard to make such a terrible connection. It’s really hard to believe how bad the connection is. Every time I empty the bag I run high quality vinyl tape around the bag connection to make sure it stays on. To engineers and people that know about pools I’m sure your thinking I am running too much pressure to the unit. Blowing the connectors. Well I have a gauge on the cartridge filter of course and tapped and threaded the 2 inch pipe at the outlet pipe. I’ve tuned the 360 using the lowest volume and pressure just enough to make it work. I have always paid extra for quality. I’m sure there is no premium supply hose for the 360. But the swivels are so thin they are going to leak. The bag connection design to the 360 gets a F ! When all is corrected it works great ! I do not want a robot cleaner. The Polaris 360 is cleaning the pool anytime your main pump is on. Saving 10 amps is comparable to the cost to run a 2 1/2 ton air-conditioning unit. That’s quite a savings. If you aren’t very handy and don’t know much about how water flows ect. Get a Polaris with a separate pressure pump. It’s easier. No balance problems with the water. Also in order to use my spa I now have a extra valve I have to shut to isolate the spa. No big deal. Only get the 360 if you like to work on pools and have knowledge in water volume and pressure. I still am glad I eliminated my pressure pump and got the 360. But it causes some irritating moments. ... show more

    • great vacuum
Size: 280 Model Style: Cleaner
This is the second one that I've purchased. The first one lasted 11 years (with 1 rebuild in the middle) and the booster pump is still going strong. This pool/equipment is located in GA and we open the pool at the end of March and close it around Halloween. I was reading the reviews (esp the 1/2 starred ratings) and I didn't seem to have any of the issues reported. As with any mechanical device, how it is set up and maintained are the most important parts of the products functionality and longevity. It has on occasion gotten stuck on a step but found that once the bag was emptied, I no longer had the problem and I'm sure with a little fine tuning, that issue could be eliminated. I feel that this is a great product and would/will buy it again (hopefully in another 11 years) when necessary. ... show more
