Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

This robot is difficult to assemble and does a very poor job of getting around the pool. I had a dolphin diagnostic which I loved and should have gone the extra money for another one of those.

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

For the price, it is worth it to save some manual cleaning time. It performed without trouble for 2 months since we bought it (to close out our pool season here in Washington). It collects a wide range of debris from fairly small particles to bugs and even small leaves. However, very fine particles go right through and it sometimes looks like it has a smoke stack. This might have something to do with the 1/2 diameter holes in the filter bag (designed that way new). Or it could need a finer mesh filter bag. It is very easy to operate - just put it in and turn it on. I sometimes needs 2 or 3 cycles to completely cover the pool bottom. It does not go up the vertical walls or climb stairs. I would use a secondary finer mesh filter as a backup if they offered such a thing. It does save me from doing some manual cleaning, but I still brush down the side walls and the steps. It also saves the sand filter from getting quite a bit of debris.

Worked really well for most of summer. Then would only travel a few feet--stop--then reverse itself and repeat the cycle. As a result, would only cover a small area of about 6' by 6'. S[...]

 
Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Cadd
By BeckyVerified Purchaser from San Antonio, TX on 10/27/2008
Pros:
Good Value
Cons:
Low Quality
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

I use my "Nitro" to clean my pool after I use my leaf bagger because it does not always clean thoroughly. The caddy came without some parts and then when I got the missing parts they were two of the same parts so my caddy is still not complete. The compartment levers broke the second time I used it. So have to take it out very slowly so the cover does nor fall off into the pool.
It's better than vaccuuming manually every week.

Durable

Bad Value
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

It does not clean the whole pool. It won't pickup the larger leaves. I still have to brush and vacume the pool when it finishes.

Someone finally got it right
By JimVerified Purchaser from Hempstead, New York on 9/8/2008
Pros:
Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

The Nitro cleans quickly and efficiently. It doesn't waste time
at bottlenecks but recognizes them and
backs off. It is lightweight and easily handled. It has a handy cart for moving and storage. If it proves to be durable it will be an outstanding
acquisition and will have answered every objection to my previous robot cleaners.

 
Gets the job done.
By ScottVerified Purchaser from Oklahoma on 8/27/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

It isn't as fast as it implies with the name "Nitro". Actually it is much slower than my previous cleaner. It climbs the steps in the shallow end of my pool and gets stuck quite frequently and I have to help it get back going. It usually requires being reset and cleaning the pool twice before it gets everything. All in all for the money versus other cleaners I looked at its fine. It gets the job done just not as fast as they implied it would.

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

I just put it into the pool each morning, plug it up and turn it on. It can't get any easier than that. In just two hours the pool is clean and with no work from me. I love it. When it's done,I turn the bag inside out and spray it clean. It's the best pool cleaner I have ever had. The price was very affordable, too. I wish I had, had it years ago and not waisted my money on cleaners that hook up to the skimmer.

Blue Wave "Nitro" Pool Cleaner

Cons:
Low Quality
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

The Nitro does not clean the entire bottom of the pool. I put it in for the alloted two hours and more than half the time it was floating on the top or trying to crawl out. It worked great the first two times then "poof" it started acting out.

 
We LOVE our nitro!!!

Cons:
Expensive
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

This cleaner is great. It cleans the bottom and even goes up the side of our inground pool. The bottom is sometimes hard to click back in place, but once you figure it out you are all set. And it sure beats cleaning the pool myself!!

Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality, Well Designed
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

We use Nitro to clean our pool bottom every other day. You can not see much dirt etc. on the pool bottom before we clean with Nitro, but when we pull the filter bag out of Nitro after cleaning you would not belive what it finds.

Comments about Smartpool Smartpool Nitro Robotic Cleaner and Caddy:

This little dynamo even climbs up the walls
of our pool, and is absolutely soundless.
If you didn't see it moving, you wouldn't
know it was even running.
