Dirt Devil In-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had the dirt devil pool cleaner for almost a year now. I purhased this over kreepy krauly and others largely because of price and the rebate available late last year. I had a kreepy in the past, but I figured all of the cleaners of this type were the same. I was very wrong. This unit has several flaws:
1. it gets stuck quite often with no obstructions (ladders, steps, ...) causing it to hang. It gets stuck in corners and coming up the slope from the deep end.
2. It occasionally flips upside down and becomes seriously stuck.
3. Occasionally the flapper just quits working and it stays in one place until you use your finger to get the flapper moving again.
4. this unit has a very definate pattern and would never clean my entire pool. I have an mountain lake shaped pool.

The fatal flaw of this unit which caused me to pitch it was the rigid "spine" it has along it's underside. The unit became stuck in the crease between the bottom and the side of the pool and agitated there overnight and wore a hole in my liner. I woke up to find a 3 inch gash in the liner. The agitation wore a groove in the vermiculite in the bottom of the pool. The kreepy krauly has a flexible spine with plastic bearings to avoid just such a problem.

I will probably go back to kreepy krauly which is what i had at my old pool.

Good luck.
