I wanted to use my Polaris 8050 Robotic pool cleaner for 6 months or more before I gave my honest review. I experienced two discrepancies that the manufacturers needs to incorporate. The first problem is the line from the controller to the cleaner will get tangled due to no hose swivel. This causes the hose to kink and the cleaner to stay in a very small area in the pool. The second problem is the maximum time to run is 1.5 hour, then the cleaner shut off. You have to go outside and turn the cleaner on again. It would be perfect if the cleaner could operate for at least 6 hours at a time, especially if you work Monday through Friday and are gone from your home. This is a very expensive cleaner and the designer failed to incorporate these options. The unit cleans good but requires at least 6 hours of continuous run time to clean my pool which is 20 x 35 and 2 feet in the low end and 5.5 feet in the deep end. My pool has three 8 feet long steps that the cleaner will not work on. They have to be cleaned by hand. Without the manufacturer incorporating these changes, I wouldn't buy this cleaner or recommend it. It's not worth the Price.

We love our new pool cleaner. Our last one lasted 4 summers and it was time to get a new one. Went with this one and it works really well.

I had reservations about buying this product over a dolphin but I can say after having it for several months now that I do not regret it. It does a good job of cleaning the pool up. It does miss spots occasionally but the good definitely outweighs the bad. It does have an impressive ability to clean the waterline. The only cons of note are it’s not the best on steps (I recommend brushing your steps every couple of days) and I wish it had a longer run time.

I’m cleaning a 32 x 16 pool and the machine is doing good job. Concerned about the transformer—not near as heavy and large as the Hayward sharkvac which lasted ten years. Also, the fine mesh filter screen seems little flimsy and I wonder the cost for replacement.Like the size, little easier to handle compared to Hayward.The cart which was included with machine has nice wheels and was a breeze to assemble.Kudos to the Amazon workers that make delivery possible from the warehouse workers to the drivers.My old machine quit and in a panic ordered this in the early afternoon and received the next day—no one does it better.

I have used used a Polaris 360 for about 15 years and have been pleased with it. But I decided I would like to go to the next step and I chose the Polaris 8050 Sport after a lot of research. Here is what I can say about it. Very easy to start up and operate. It has not gotten stuck on my drain once or has the chord gotten tangled once either. Those were some things said about other robots. Also, I love the way it vacuums and scrubs the floor and the way it climbs to the top of the walls and even cleans the tile at the top. Yes I would recommend this product very much.

It sucks up leaves, sand, and dirt like a champ. It climbs the wall like advertised and cleans them well. Having the caddy is a great bonus. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it only been a couple of months. The real test is how long it will last. I'm sure with carefully handling and maint it should last many years.

Unfortunately I should have ordered this way later. My pool install ran late and I didn't open the box until after the 30 day return. The unit appears to be used even though I paid for a new unit. It will only stay on the deep end. Even if I start it on the opposite side it always just goes to the deep end and cleans just one area. It's a 1K paperweight now. It's just easier to clean the pool manually. A 30 day return policy is just ridiculous. I had thought it was a prime order so I thought I had the longer return window. Amazon is no help and calling the manufacturer did nothing to fix the problem.

I've been using this for a few days now and am pleased with the performance. The unit picks up the leaves as well as the sand and very small debris. The included stand does make it much easier to use and store. I would never have ordered one if it cost extra but it is definitely handy. It has not yet been stuck on the steps or ladder so that is a pleasant surprise. The only downside is that it always seems to turn in the same direction which results in quite tangled mess of the cable when it is done.
