Customer Review: Very mediocre.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a Dirt Devil upright carpet vacuum that I bought 15 years ago, and it still works as well as the day it was new. So when I wanted to replace my 10 year old Baracudda pool vacuum, I saw the Dirt Devil name and thought no further. I've had reason to regret my decision.
It does clean the pool out rather well when it works. The problem is that it doesn't work most of the time. These things propel themselves across the pool floor with a weighted pendulum that shakes back and forth when water going to the filter is pumped thru it, and that pendulum is supposed to start by itself when you turn on the filter pump. This one rarely does, so I have to pull it halfway up the pool wall and get it started manually. Then it usually stalls after an hour or two. The whole propelling mechanism is very poorly designed, and I never once had this problem with my old Baracudda.
Also, when it does work, it moves VERY slowly. My old Baracudda could circle my 24' pool in about 3 minutes. This thing takes more than 10.
And lastly, the Baracudda had a large deflector ring at the base to prevent it from getting hung up in the ladder. This unit has no such device, so I have to pull up the ladder when using it.
Spend a few extra bucks and get a Baracudda. Dirt Devil obviously has no expertise in this field.
