Polaris Epic 8640

A True Time Saver

So far, I love this little monster! It is very simple to operate and does a great job cleaning the bottom of the pool. It's as simple as dropping it in, plug it in, push a button, and walk away. It does a great job at cleaning the slope into the deep end as well as around the drains. It is also very easy to remove and clean the canister. The rolling cart/carrier is also nice. Although the machine isn't overly heavy, it makes carrying and storage a breeze. The cord is quite long and doesn't tangle. My only complaints would be that it doesn't get the crevice between the downward slope and the side and isn't able to clean the rounded corners of the pool or the steps. The hook for the cord to wrap around on the cart is my biggest frustration and needs a re-design. The cord does not stay on it. I spend more time trying to keep the cord on it after a cleaning than it takes to roll out and get it going. A bungee cord will be my "fix" for this issue. Overall, I am thrilled not spending hours cleaning my pool manually!
