The best thing about the Hayward Poolvergnuegen ‘The Pool Cleaner’ Suction Pool Vacuum is its self-adjusting turbine vanes. They allow large debris to pass through without damaging the unit, and also help it maintain uniform suction while it’s in motion. It has a great roller skirt, which makes it more adept than most in crossing over uneven pool surfaces. This cleaner also has multiple pre-programmed steering sequences. With these, you can customize the way it cleans to help it get the best clean possible.
However, this model suffers from the classic pool cleaner problem. It doesn’t always do well with walls. In this case, it has a lot to do with the floats this model uses. The manual recommends using more floats to help it turn over if it gets flipped, but using fewer floats gives it the grip it needs to grab the walls and climb. It does well with large debris but isn’t as effective with algae, so it’s not going to satisfy most people in that regard. While this is an okay pool cleaner, most people will want something better for the money.
