Customers like the cleanliness of the product. They say it's perfect for quick clean ups, an awesome cleaner for the bottom of the pool, and has simplified the cleaning of their pool. They also mention that it performs well as it should, easy to clean the little filter, and even cleaning the catch net is a breeze. It does vacuum up the debris and dirt from the bottom, and removes fine dirt and sand. Customers also say it makes vacuuming an easy daily routine, and is great for a quick vacuuming of needles.

"...it 3 times for 15mins each time.. I can’t stress enough, works great a spot cleaner in conjunction with your regular pool vac....." Read more

"...I do like the job it does, it vacuums well and the "sweeper" head doesn't stir up the bottom debris like "catfish" (triangular) type..." Read more

"Performs well as it should, easy to clean the little filter. Wish it just came with a pole handle extension" Read more

"...Dirt and small sand will be difficult to rinse clean and won't last as long as the previous meshed nylon bag. There is only one bag in the box...." Read more

Customers find the vacuum easy to use. They say it is simple and works great. Customers also mention that the filter with the gasket is very easy to install. The newer design makes it easy to put the cover on and take off. They appreciate the decent suction and the ability to use it for above ground pools. The vacuum has a push button to turn on and off.

"...The catfish is much easier to use and gets out every spec of dirt and sand from the bottom of our pool...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the performance of the pool vacuum. Some mention that it does it pretty well, is effortless, and more effective compared to the spa wand. However, others say that it would not work at all, ruin the batteries, and the unit would cease to function. The vacuum can only run about 10 minutes before the filter cloggs with silt, and it started to get a little sluggish.

"...And it works great, in fact better than with battery since it is driven directly from AC/DC adapter...." Read more

"This solves a problem I've had for years and it does it pretty well. I have an in-ground 26,000 gallon pool...." Read more

"...The downside - after only 15 months of service it died. I opened it up and saw what others are posting - the motor was rusted out...." Read more

"...It worked well on the deep pool steps but when the motor comes out of the water the suction stops, on shallow steps it didnt work at all...." Read more

Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the product. Some find it well worth the money, reasonable, and affordable, while others say it's not worth the price and the replacement bags are stupid expensive.

"...much money for a pool cleaner but after using it I can say it is a great value and worth every penny!..." Read more

"...So don't expect to be sweeping wide swaths with it. It is also cheap plastic, so it will not hold up to any kind of abuse -- treat it with some..." Read more

"...but it will pick up grit and grime and sand and is considerably cheaper than a full pool vac system...." Read more

"...my purchase and recommend this to anyone in need of an affordable battery powered vacuum...." Read more

458 customers mention282 positive176 negative

Customers are mixed about the suction of the outdoor living product. Some mention that it has great suction, gets up more than the sucker hose, and is a powerful little vacuum. However, others say that it also had almost no suction and disappears as the battery weakens. The suction is also very low and slow.

"...It does the job very well. The suction is quite good, suck up pea gravels, sand, leaves, pine straw and fish drops. I notice the suction drop..." Read more

"...the deep pool steps but when the motor comes out of the water the suction stops, on shallow steps it didnt work at all...." Read more

"...Pros:Great suction power. You can see the sand and silt being drawn right to the vac.Battery powered, no need for hoses..." Read more

"...Pros:- scheduled to take about 5 days and came in 2- really good suction - picks up everything with ease in my 30' above ground pool...." Read more

325 customers mention177 positive148 negative

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the pool cleaner. Some mention that it lasts awhile, allowing for reasonably long vacuuming sessions. However, others say that the battery gets short and needs to be charged frequently.

"Best pool step cleaner I've had - hands down. The rechargeable battery lasts for many uses and holds a charge for a long time...." Read more

"...To test that only the battery is bad and not the DC motor, I plug in the AC/DC charger to the unit and use paper clip to short-circuit the 2 metal..." Read more

"...It has held its charge long enough for me to clean our 16' pool in one go and I've never had it die on me the 15 or so times I've used it for 45..." Read more

"...I started to notice that the charge was lasting for more than 3 uses, and although the suction disappears as the battery weakens, it won't take a..." Read more

503 customers mention116 positive387 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the pool cleaner. They mention that the bag is too small for more than a handful of leaves, and it's smaller than most people will imagine. The microfilter sleeve does not fit with, in, or around the filter. The socks are larger than the filter and thus will need be longer than the rubber ring. Moreover, the vacuum head does not fits well and is prone to fall off in the pool. Additionally, the internal catch net is way too small to be practical for full-on pool cleaning.

"...Also, while the internal catch net is way too small to be practical for full-on pool cleaning, the included fine-mesh "sock" that works with..." Read more

"...2, the suction bag is not even half the size as my old catfish and needs to be cleaned out 2-3 times a week vs once a week...." Read more

"Had one 7 yrs ago while out west. It works but it seems smaller & don’t have the same suction power however it works for the intended application" Read more

"...It’s easy to clean the filters, it’s rechargeable and fits on a standard pole, which I strongly recommend." Read more

DustBuster for your pool.
4 Stars
DustBuster for your pool.
I was reluctant to buy this based on the bad reviews. At the time of my purchase the product had 20% of the buyers/reviewers rating it one star.. i took a chance as i knew if it didn't meet my expectations, I would pack it up and send it back.. After a week, I'm really happy with this but read on because you may not be.. if this is your only pool vacuum, buy something else. Well first let me clear up some bad information posted in other reviews.."you need to buy an extra silt bag." You don't, it comes with 2 extra bags including the screen bag."You need to buy a pole". If you own a pool, you likely own a scimmer pole. It fits on your regular pole"After a few uses it doesn't have good suction" Yeah, any pool cleaner needs constant cleaning. Use it/ clean itI purchased this product for two primary reasons1) I have a large in ground pool and an expensive robot that randomly zigzags around my pool for 6 hours and misses spots. I also have a regular vacuum that is a chore to take out and setup so getting those few missed spots is a pain..2) my pool gets dirty in the same spots.. I get collections of "stuff" in the same corners/areas of my pool. I wanted a way to hit just those areas quickly for quick cleanups without dragging out the robot cleaner.So I was looking around and found this pool blaster catfish vacuum. It seemed to fit the bill for the two problems I was trying to solve. In un boxing the vacuum the first thing I noticed was it's "toy like" appearance. It doesn't give you the impression it's going to hold up/ function well. I followed the instructions and started out of the gate using the fine silt bag. . After charging for about 45 mins it was fully charged and I was anxious to try it so out I go vacuuming the pool at 11:30 at night. As usual I had a collection of dirt along the back seams of the pool and on the deep end and some small spots in the shallow end. I mounted the vacuum on my skimmer pole push the button on the back of the vacuum to turn it on. The sound of the vacuum also doesn't make you feel this is a well built device. After submerging the vacuum the noise quieted and the device was working well .. I started in the shallow end so I can see if device had sufficient suction and not just pushing around dirt. i cleaned up the obvious areas in the shallow end which took about 5 minutes. It worked well on the deep pool steps but when the motor comes out of the water the suction stops, on shallow steps it didnt work at all. So plan on using this in at least 10 inches of water or at an angle to keep it submerged. On to the deep end! In another review, it mentioned it was hard to keep the vacuum on the bottom it wanted to float up and I kinda agree. The areas I wanted to hit, the outline of the deep end basin and closer to the edges, I could easily get to with no issues and it picked up everything . As I reached out to the center of the pool it was harder to keep the vacuum on the floor consistently as the angle of the skimmer pole went more horizontal. It had a tendency to float up. Still it did what I needed it to do.. First time out, it ran for about 25 minutes and performed "ok". I've since used it 3 more times doing spot cleaning about 8-10 minutes and I haven't charged it up yet and each time feeling a little better about the vacuum.I view this device as a "dust-buster" for your pool, great for quick spot cleanups. You wouldn't want to vacuum your whole pool with it, while you could probably do a larger section if needed. Hope this helps in your decision. I'll post some updates after living with this for a while.Update- after two seasons I continue to be impressed with this little vac... So getting ready for Memorial Day pool opening a worked a few days in getting open and blue, I’ve got the yard setup for the weekend and all the pool supplies away and we get a quick rain shower on Saturday night, which drops a bunch of crap, including worms into the pool.. I was able to clean up in 15mins and back to prepping for the party.. i’ve just started season 3 with this little guy and used it 3 times for 15mins each time.. I can’t stress enough, works great a spot cleaner in conjunction with your regular pool vac..Final update 2019 -after three season it finally died. I buying a replacement 3 years for $90 bucks it’s worth it -One last update 6/2020 - So after great success with the first vac the next 2 units didn’t last a full season.. poor quality control not sure if I would try it again..
