POOL BLASTER Catfish Cordless Pool Vacuum for Spot-Cleaning, Hot Tubs & Spas, up to 45 Min Runtime, Quick, Efficient, Handheld Rechargeable, Swimming Pool Cleaner, Above Ground & Inground Pool Steps

This thing is fantastic!

I've been taking care of my 26,000 gallon pool for 34 years and I have tried many things to keep my pool clean. I can say without a doubt that this little "Catfish" gets the job done.I bought my first Catfish in 2015 and after almost 10 years the battery was not holding a charge. I knew I was getting another one.I rarely hook up my 35' hose and suction line anymore. After brushing the surfaces, I let any debris settle to the bottom of the deep end overnight and zoom my Catfish around and in less than 10 minutes the pool is sparkling clean.I saw some other reviewers saying it wouldn't pick up sand or that dust was just blowing through the sides, but that is what the micro filter bags are for. They are very similar to pantyhose and will filter out the smallest debris and dust, like dead algae.I agree that the debris cup is a little small, but there are larger versions of this product available if that is what you need.I'm hoping that my new Catfish lasts as long as my old one and I'll probably buy another one after that.

Correct size foe 12 ft swim spa and 4 seat hot tube, work well!

Worked great in my spa. I was impressed. It is small but it does the job. I gave it a five star rating.

I would not recommend this unless you want to keep replacing it every few months. Bought in August 2024 and already stopped working 6 months later. Their warranty is only 30 days for good reason. I was very careful with…it never dropped it or turned and off under water and to try and avoid water intrusion but in the end it didn’t matter. The build quality is not made to last. Screws used in areas in the motor housing are rusted. You would think they would be stainless but nope they are rusting. So that makes me suspect that it probably got water inside the motor housing or battery compartment as they aren’t properly sealed. I will take apart and post pics of the inside if they don’t offer to replace it.Very disappointed with this purchase.

Not large enough, does not have the capacity

I went back and forth trying to decide if I spend the money on this vacuum. I noticed it offered from various sellers for various prices. I finally broke down and purchased it at the lowest price, knowing if I needed to return it, it would probably be a pain and I would just be out the $100.... Well, it has far exceeded my expectations. I have only used it three times, but it is amazing! After I first charged it, I turned it on and thought this thing is going to suck. It had NO suction. Well then I was told that it had to be placed in the water for it to work. I have a 30' round above ground pool. I just mowed the land and the entire pool floor was covered in patches of dirt. This thing cleaned the entire floor in about 40 minutes. I attached it to my standard pole. I did get in the pool to use it. It is amazing. the micro bag picks up everything. It did get a little muddy and hard to dump out while still in pool, but it didn't stop it from working. The battery lasted the entire time. I figure, for the price, if it lasts me through end of next year, it's worth it! I have the expensive pool robot, but the micro bag on this works much better. The robot just stirs up the dirt and it resettles. This one sucks it up and it's gone! I highly recommend it!

So I have no idea why I never got one of these before now. My buddy got one for fathers day and said you have to get one. Man was I not disappointed. My wife is a clean freak when it comes to the pool and was vacuuming almost everyday, straight to the pump/filter so that I was backwashing it more than I needed to be doing. That and the hassle of dragging out the hose, hooking it up etc. This works like a charm. Cleans and collects all the trash, does not disturb the dirt so when you are done you see what settles back down and have to go over it again.Used it after a storm and it had no problem with all the leaves and junk. My only issue is that it says to charge for 4 hours once a month but I have to charge it every other time. Maybe because it gets used so much but if that is the only issue we have I will take it.
