I've got a bad lower back and I was nervous about hauling this thing around, but I can lift it out with one hand and carry it over to the hose pad by myself. Rinsing the basket takes a minute and I'm done. It's light enough that I don't dread the weekly clean.

The kids knocked it off the patio edge onto the concrete back in June and I winced, but it just rattled, rolled, and dropped back in. We've been through a full summer of sunscreen and pool chemicals, and the shell and treads haven't cracked or gone chalky. I honestly expected the corners to give up by now.

I have steps and it climbed them. Didn��t expect that. Cleans them well, corners need a brush.

Two sugar maples hang over my fence and drop leaves all October, plus the little twigs my hedge trimmer shakes loose. I dumped a full basket after one run and the intake never choked. Suction stayed strong the whole time, which is more than my last cleaner managed.

Finished my 30x15 inground floor and part of the wall climb on one charge.
