Lifegard Aquatics ARP201144 Pond Cleaning Vacuum, Mini

I was not too sure how this little vacuum would work. As it turns out it is a great little vac. I had a bunch of leaves to vac so it took a while, because of the small bag. If I had to do it all over I would buy it again.

Nicely built, typical pool product. with some additions/modifications it works well for us.Works better using the pool pump system than the garden hose method but will do the job (small) of cleaning up.RD/Hawaii

This is my second purchase from this company and they live up to their 5 star rating. The vacuum works better than expected. Bought it knowing that it did not come with a pole and thought I could use a standard pole from a rake, etc., but it required a special type. Soooo.... my husband went to our local Lowe's and purchased a standard swimming pool PVC pole for $3.00 and drove a screw through the vacuum. It is very secure and the perfect alternative to purchasing a pricey pole. I would highly recommend this affordable vacuum.

The instruction imply that there is a handle that snaps to the unit, but the vac did not come with a handle.

The bag is to small for its purpose

did not last very long before it fell apart

Sorry, but disappointed in this product. Nice concept and works well with our water pressure. However the net bag is a real joke. It needs to be MUCH larger, otherwise you spend most of your lifetime emptying it. Also the plastic fittings keep coming apart which adds to the agony. Would not recommend or buy again.

Pole is an issue. Bag tends to come off. Ultimately not worth the effort in terms a cleaning.
