- POOL BLASTER Max Cordless Pool Vacuum for Deep Cleaning & Strong Suction, Handheld Rechargeable Swimming Pool Cleaner for Inground and Above Ground Pools, Hoseless Pool Vac by Water Tech

Our home is in the Phoenix, AZ area and we experience Haboobs (dust storms). Our new pool was completed on July 1, 2023. The pool has an in floor popup cleaning system. While this sytem works well, it is incapable of removing the fine particles mainly because the finer particles get stuck in the low areas between the pebbles of the Pebble Tec flooring. The only way to remove the dust is to sweep the pool multiple times while the pool is running until you've stirred enough stuff up that it eventually gets sucked into the pool's filter system. On that note, I purchased this vacuum to see if I can reduce the amount of time needed to remove the dust from the pool after a Haboob. I also purchased, on the reviews of other's, the ultra fine filter liners. Firstly, the vacuum is simple to use. Honestly for me, the most difficult thing to on this product is plugging in the charger. It is oddly shaped and is a bit awkaward to get positively engagaed. The amount of suction created by the vacuum is enough to where the vaccum will stay engaged on the vertical walls. My pool/spa combo is ~15K gallons, and the battery lasted easily for its debut run while I didn't notice any reduction in power for the roughly 15 minutes it ran. First impressions. I was shocked by the amount of debris that was captured in the filter bag. I didn't even try to clean the fine filter liner bag. Five came in the package so I just pitched this one. The vacuum's filters did a good job at trapping at what I would condsider >90% of the silt. As some reviews commented you can see the ultra fine silt being blown back into the water, but the amount removed versus the amount bypassed is heavily weighed on the removed side making the total efficiency worth it. Longevity is an unknown at this point in time. I did have an issue with a rectangular piece of plastic that resides in the "foot" of the vacuum popping out and being captured in the filter bag. I am not sure what its purpose is, but probably not going to do anything in the grand scheme of things. I see the "foot" as being a consumable, but there is no part# listed in the manual, which, could make this a pita at a later date. Also, the main filter needs to be cleaned after use. In my case the fine filter bag liner took the abuse. The main filter was easily cleaned with the spray feature in the kitchen sink. In the end, this vacuum will easily reduce the time needed to remove the junk blown into the pool post a Haboob. My first impressions are positive and at this point in time I would recommend this widget.

This does hold a good charge and it really does help to keep our pool cleaner. I use it 2-3 times each week and have been using it steadily since purchased late 2023. I have a 16x32 pool and usually use it twice before recharging. It does have good suction. The only thing that escapes is some very fine mud, but I do believe it captures more than it loses. I just replaced the original filter bag that came with it. The ones I found on Amazon do not fit as advertised, so I had to go to the manufacturer's website for an OEM replacement. After rinsing it out so many times, the filter media eventually breaks down and starts to get thin spots in it. My only knock on this is the charger plug. You have to wiggle it several times to find the sweet spot so the light changes from green to red and recharges. Based on other reviews, I hope this is improved for future models if not already. Great vacuum though overall. It works and makes pool maintenance quick and easy.

I’ve owned the Pool Blaster Max since 2022, and it’s been a great tool for keeping my pool clean. I mainly use it for spot cleaning, and it picks up everything from leaves to fine sand with no problem. The 10.5” scrub brush head covers a nice wide area, and the large filter bag means I can collect plenty of debris before needing to empty it. The motor did die within the first year, but customer service was excellent—they quickly sent me a replacement motor, and swapping it out was fast and straightforward. Since then, it’s been running strong without issues. Being cordless and rechargeable makes it so much more convenient than dragging out a full pool vacuum system. It’s easy to handle, charges without hassle, and works exactly as I need it to for quick cleanups. If you want a reliable, easy-to-use pool cleaner with solid support behind it, this is a great choice.

We purchased this vacuum in August of 2023. It worked great for the first season of our in ground pool. Since we close our pool for the winter. we brought the vacuum inside for storage. When we went to use the vacuum for the next season, the motor stopped taking a charge. We contacted the company and since it was within the warranty period, they offered us a new motor which they sent and we installed it without issue. Again, it worked for the swimming season (June to September) wonderfully. The rep at the company told us to store it inside and charge it only for four hours at a time, which we did over the winter. This year, unfortunately the same thing happened. We were only able to use the vacuum for the first few weeks and the motor started failing again even though we followed all the company directions. When I contacted Water Tech again, they said there is no warranty for the new motor even though it was less than a year old. They offered that we could purchase another new motor for $52.99, when the motors came back in stock. For the price you pay for the original machine, you should get more than 4 months of use and they should stand by the motor / charging if it repeatedly fails. A person shouldn't have to keep buying new motors every year. Again, we followed all their instructions, so we should have had a great season and more! Sadly, I can't recommend this product and will look for alternatives.

What an awesome little thing this is! Does a great job of vacuuming. Sucks up everything even fine dirt. Saves me so much time and energy not having to deal with the huge hose and everything. Love it! Only issue is the bag is so small you have to empty out several times but it's not a real problem.

We have a 15x30 foot Oval above ground pool with a depth of 3.9 feet. We installed it approx 2 years ago. I didn’t like using the supplied standard vacuum that attaches to the skimmer and uses our sand filter to clean the sucked up debris.So I bought a cheaper rechargeable vacuum (Intex) it was only about $125.00 , I found this vacuum convenient, however it didn’t really do a good job. I was frustrated with the amount of debris it would kick up in the water and not “suck up”. I didn’t want the cost of a pool robot vacuum and I really dont mind vacuuming the pool myself. I stumbled upon this vacuum. I have only used it once, but I am very impressed with the suction and the size of the vacuum head itself. I just finished cleaning the pool and removed a lot of debris that my old Vacuum would not have picked up. I dont need to use it multiple times to realize it is a great product at a fair price. I believe you get what you pay for and this is a great product priced reasonably well.

Fonctionne tres bien

Gets patches of dust and dirt out of pool without stirring it up . Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

Lavora ottimamente e senza il tubo da collegare alla bocchetta aspirafondo è molto più comodo. Usato con la pompa di filtraggio spenta (impossibile con l'aspirafondo) si può vedere perfettamente dove pulire.

Wir haben einen Pool mit 7x4m und Sandfilteranlage, und das bisherige Saugen über den Skimmer ist aufwändig, anstrengend und trotzdem nicht befriedigend, da immer Schmutzreste am Poolboden bleiben und nicht aufgesaugt werden - gerade mit feinem Sand tut sich unser Sauger schwer, daher habe ich dieses Gerät ausprobiert. Der Sauger ist komplett aus Kunststoff, wirkt aber hochwertig. Einzig der Ein-/Ausschalter, dessen Buchse auch als Ladeanschluss dient, überzeugt mich nicht zu 100% - ich hoffe, dass hier alles dicht hält. Ausgepackt, zusammengebaut und für ca. 4h an der Steckdose aufgeladen, dann war das Teil einsatzbereit, das Anbringen an einer Teleskopstange gelingt mittels Schnellverschluss einfach. Vor dem Eintauchen wird der Sauger eingeschaltet und dann auf den Boden abgelassen. Viel zu sagen gibt es eigentlich nicht, außer: der Sauger ist SUPER! Dank Akku endlich kein Kabel- bzw. Schlauchsalat mehr, das Teil ist leicht, und dementsprechen gut an der Stange zu führen. Die Saugleistung ist überraschend gut, damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet: in ca. 15 Minuten war der Boden blitzblank gesaugt, und der Sauger hat eine Unmenge an Dreck, Haaren und anderem Schmodder in seinem integrierten Filter mit nach oben gebracht - das hatte der Skimmersauger liegengelassen (siehe Bilder!)... Zum Reinigen wird einfach der Filter geleert und unter klarem Wasser ausgespült. Nach der Säuberung lasse ich den sauberen Filter sowie das Gerät trocknen und baue es erst direkt vor dem nächsten Einsatz wieder zusammen, damit der Filter nicht schimmelt oder Restflüssigkeit im Gerät stockt - mal sehen, wie es mit der Langlebigkeit ist, hier erfolgt ggf. ein Update 2020. Knapp 220.- Euro für diesen Sauger sind nicht billig, im Vergleich zu einem Poolroboter aber fast ein Schnäppchen - außerdem macht das Teil, was es soll: den Dreck einfach und ohne Umstände wie bei einem normalen Staubsauger vom Poolboden nach oben holen! Saugkraft, Verarbeitung und Handhabung haben mich überzeugt - 5 Sterne!
