Description
We call it the "BIG SUCKER" for a reason! This powerful swimming pool leaf vacuum is a must have for in-ground and above-ground pools. The power is in the 8 mini jets; once connected to your garden hose, the eight water nozzles, located on the underside of the pool vacuum, turn into mini jets that create a strong suction to help pull leaves into the mesh vacuum bag for a quick and easy pool cleaning experience. Easy to use, the water flow from the garden hose creates a powerful whirlwind that quickly sucks leaves, dirt and debris off the bottom of the pool and into the bag for removal. Four multi-directional wheels aid in easily maneuvering the vacuum along the pool floor, to quickly remove big loads of leaves, dirt and debris. It is not just a pool sweeper, it is a leaf sucker and leaf destroyer! Easy to assemble, this popular pool vacuum uses a standard garden hose, and features a quick- disconnect pool vacuum adapter. A must have tool for pool maintenance! Includes 1 reusable mesh vacuum bag. Garden hose and pool pole sold separately. From the Manufacturer The Big Sucker Leaf Vacuum offers a durable long life ABS body, it has the power of 8 high pressure water jets. These jets speed up the removal of leaves and debris.

Powerful Leaf Vacuum That Saves Hours of Work The Poolmaster 28300 “Big Sucker” lives up to its name. This simple garden-hose-powered vacuum is a lifesaver if you’ve got leaves sinking to the bottom of your pool. I’ve used it after windstorms and at spring opening when the pool was littered with debris, and it really does pull in large amounts quickly. The eight jets create a strong venturi effect that lifts leaves straight into the attached mesh bag, and the four swivel wheels make it glide smoothly along the floor. What I like most is how much faster it is than scooping with a net—you can cover the whole pool bottom in a fraction of the time. The included bag is reusable, and replacement bags (fine or heavy-duty mesh) are easy to find. Assembly is straightforward: connect a garden hose and a telescoping pole, and you’re good to go. There are a couple of quirks to keep in mind. The unit isn’t weighted, so it takes a steady hand to keep it flat on the pool floor. The mesh bag works great for leaves and twigs, but finer debris like silt will pass right through. Also, if you overfill the bag, it can slip off when you lift it out, so it’s best to empty frequently. Bottom line: A must-have for pool owners dealing with heavy leaf fall or post-storm cleanup. It won’t replace your regular pool vacuum for fine dirt, but for big debris it’s fast, efficient, and worth every penny.

First off: I am pleased with how this machine performed. For the price, I would recommend to others to buy it. There are a few things I would like to address with my recommendation from previous questions/reviews/concerns on this item. This is not a paid review. This does NOT come with a pole. The “also bought with” pole does NOT work with this machine. That pole twists on. Other reviews say a “standard” pole fits ((whatever that means)) I made a video of the pole I used. What it looks like/measures. It’s about 1.5 inches in diameter. If your pole is around that, it will work, if it is over 1.5” it will not work. Issues with the front lifting during use - I did not have this issue the majority of the time as long as I had enough hose in the pool. Also, the side the hose attached on, is the side I had my pole tilted - I would imagine doing that effects the balance/weight issues. I noticed when I tried stretching to the center of the pool, it did pop up. I added some weights to the front & that solved the issue. Essentially anything would work for a weight. Some zip ties, drill a hole, or tie it down - your set. Also, if you are using the vacuum to clean while you are in the pool, you shouldn’t have this issue at all. I did have an initial issue with fine debris flowing through the mesh bag attached. A simple fix was to use panty hose instead of the attached mesh, it worked wonderfully. Overview: this is a fantastic, cheaply made (I don’t think it will hold up for many summers, but at the price I’m not too worried) machine that is great for cleaning up mostly large debris (and small debris with some small upgrades). I was skeptical, but I am happy I purchased this for cleaning my pool this summer. That said, If you are looking for a vacuum to help with removing algae I would invest in a more expensive vacuum with brushes on the bottom.

I had only fleeting hope that this would help me get the leaves out of the bottom of my above ground pool. Chasing the leaves around the bottom with a skimmer and pole was not an easy task.... so I thought, what the heck, ordered this and in 5 minutes the leaves were in the top of the mesh net and with a flip of the pole, i took the leaf vacuum out of the pool along with all the leaves. When I got this i expected it to be heavier but was pleasantly surprised that it was not. It is just the right weight (light) and size for what it does. I had to read the directions carefully to understand how it should work. Took a couple of minutes - put the mesh net on the top of the blue roller piece and tighten. put the skimmer pole in the space where it goes, attach the garden hose in the only place it can go. Now be careful, if you do not have the leaf vacuum in the pool when you turn the water on, duh... it will go everywhere..., turn the water on, but if you have a turn on tap on the hose use it, until you get the vacuum in the pool. put the blue piece with the wheels on the bottom of the pool. Turn the hose on full speed and push the vacuum over your leave and pine needles on the bottom of the pool and watch them go up into the mesh netting just by the force of the water.... omg it is awesome. only took 5 mins to get the leaves in the middle of my pool out. Worked as it said it would! was careful when i got the vacuum near the edge of the pool to take it out. once you turn off the hose the leaves will fall out of it, so turn it upside down where the top of the closed net will fall toward the bottom of the pool, turn off the hose and then just pull the vacuum to the side of the pool and take it out all the leaves in tact in the mesh net........simple, easy, not heavy and yes if you read the instructions... it really works for leaves and debris.

So I do like this and it does work really well however, if you have a lot of debris on t he bottom if the bag gets full, when I go to bring it out of pool the inner ring that the bag goes around snaps off so easily that it falls in pool. This has caused me a ton of extra work as a bunch of debris falls back into the pool. What I dont understand is WHY is that ring removable Makes absolutely no sense. The bag is draw string so it adjusts to easily fit around it. I am going to glue the ring on so it says in place then I am sure it will work way better. Also a water shut off switch would be great so you dont have to turn the hose off every time you use it or have to kink the hose. Or just get drenched in the face when trying to pull the bag out of the water without the ring popping off. Overall great idea, just needs some major tweaks.

Wow. I just spent about 20-30 mins cleaning all the big stuff out of the bottom of my pool. It took 20-30 mins of time and effort on my part, but almost ALL the leaves and sticks are gone. And it cost me $35. And next week it will be free. And the week after that, and the week after that. Deal. Just this week I returned the last of my expensive cordless pool-cleaning robots and will never buy another. They cost me $250-$1500 each and they were cool and fun, but they never picked up everything on the bottom of the pool even with 1.5 hours of daily use and they had to be put in, pulled, cleaned and recharged daily. Each one broke within 1-4 months and then I had to deal with the return process. Never again. The only issue I had with this was control over the vacuum head (a little tricky because the pole attachment is hinged), but I'll get the hang of it. Oh, I forgot to count the ways I love this thing: 1. The price is unbeatable for a tool to clean the bottom of the pool. 2. No motor to break or troubleshoot. 3. I no longer have to clean and charge a robot daily. 4. I don't have to hook it up to the pool's filter system or stop the pool pump to use it. 5. I didn't have to buy a skimmer cover and giant pool hose to use the pool's filter system for suction. 6. I don't have to store a giant coil of hose, skimmer cover, pool robot, robot charger, or anything but this lightweight vacuum head. 7. My pool is cleaner than my robots ever got it. 8. I need the exercise. 9. It's great to find something that actually works and solves a problem but doesn't cost a fortune. 10. I'm out of ways I love this thing, but wanted an even 10. It's a gift. And a curse. :-)

When first using this new cleaner, I was impressed at how easy it was to maneuver--so much lighter than my previous cleaner. But over a month of usage, I noticed that the cleaner didn't seem to vacuum as well as the same-type cleaner it replaced. I find that I have to retrace areas 2-3 times, especially at all the pool's corners and the along the entire length of the pool's bottom-to-sides edge. Some many days later, I was out cleaning my pool while having a conversation with a friend and explained to them my experience with the Poolmaster Big Sucker. After looking at the cleaner, my friend quickly pointed out that the problem with the Big Sucker was it's missing the brushes normally found along the bottom edge of the cleaner, near its wheels--in fact, the slots for the brushes appear to be there but don't have any brushes installed in these slots or channels that seem to be made for the brushes. I happened to still have my old cleaner and went to look and sure enough, the old cleaner has the same design but with brushes installed in the slots. I attached the old cleaner and began to use it and instantly could tell that the brushes are integral to the function of the cleaner. The short brushes appear to provide a necessary space between the bottom of the cleaner and the pool surface creating an enhanced vacuuming effect--the old cleaner was vacuuming up the debris/leaves with no problem even though it had one broken wheel! I reattached the Big Sucker and started using it again and could clearly tell that without the brushes providing the necessary vacuuming gap, much of the debris/leaves needing to be passed over 2-3 times vigorously in order to vacuum them. The brushes are also necessary to provide a buffer to guide the cleaner when it transitions the slope/curve of pool surfaces--without the brush edge, the Big Sucker's bottom edge scrapes and stutters against the differing pool surfaces. After this, I went back and looked at the Big Sucker Amazon page and noticed most all of the customer pictures showing the bottom cleaner also have empty brush slots. Now that I know what the problem is I can't recommend this product and feel customers should be aware of this.

This thing is AWESOME!! Ease of use 3/5 - For me it was pretty time consuming to empty the bag and line it up with the ring every time emptied it. I also can’t figure out a good way to get it out of the pool without it “throwing up” a bunch of the gunk or the full bag falling off into the pool. Does what it’s supposed to 100/5 - The Big Sucker get nasty leaves, algae, worms, gunk etc. OUT of the pool. The amount of nastiness is each bag would take my pool vacuum 15 rounds of being emptied and cleaned. It’s a great product - like a said a few small design flaws but it gets the job done!!
