POOL BLASTER Catfish Cordless Pool Vacuum for Spot-Cleaning, Hot Tubs & Spas, up to 45 Min Runtime, Quick, Efficient, Handheld Rechargeable, Swimming Pool Cleaner, Above Ground & Inground Pool Steps

I have a vinyl pool in a small yard surrounded by neighbors with big trees. As a result, I get all kinds of leaves and silt in the pool. I wanted something easy to use, lightweight, but powerful. The Catfish can clean my entire pool with one charge. It's small and the bag inside is really small. I didn't think it would work but it does. It sucks up all the leaves into that little bag. Cleaning the bag is super easy. Take it out, flip it inside out and run it under the faucet.I had read that it didn't do great with sand or dirt. It works great. I found the trick is to clean the sand first (before the leaves) and to go slow. My pool is just as clean as bigger pools I've had where you connect the hose to the pool system. But this device is so simple and effective. For a small pool or even as an "in between" cleaning for bigger pools, this is great. Very happy with the purchase.

Worked great in my spa. I was impressed. It is small but it does the job. I gave it a five star rating.

Bought this for my small 81 gal fountain...which gets a regular covering of silt every couple of days...This little water vacuum is great...wish i had bought it when it was $60! But I bought it for $100 (I see it for much more else where). Worth the money in the long run.Recently I bought an above ground pool 12' x 12' round...this vacuum also cleans the silt it accumulates and the small leaves...so much better than the hose system! Easily attaches to my extension pool pole.Another impressive thing is that it is not battery it holds a great charge if fully charged for the entire pool & fountain sweeping. I use the micro bag it comes with to collect the silt & small leaves, the bag it comes with is very good too.Super easy to clean, and has a good powerful suction for a small vacuum.Some reviewers have complained it's too small. But I Love it!!! Does the job just fine.

So I have no idea why I never got one of these before now. My buddy got one for fathers day and said you have to get one. Man was I not disappointed. My wife is a clean freak when it comes to the pool and was vacuuming almost everyday, straight to the pump/filter so that I was backwashing it more than I needed to be doing. That and the hassle of dragging out the hose, hooking it up etc. This works like a charm. Cleans and collects all the trash, does not disturb the dirt so when you are done you see what settles back down and have to go over it again.Used it after a storm and it had no problem with all the leaves and junk. My only issue is that it says to charge for 4 hours once a month but I have to charge it every other time. Maybe because it gets used so much but if that is the only issue we have I will take it.

I would not recommend this unless you want to keep replacing it every few months. Bought in August 2024 and already stopped working 6 months later. Their warranty is only 30 days for good reason. I was very careful with…it never dropped it or turned and off under water and to try and avoid water intrusion but in the end it didn’t matter. The build quality is not made to last. Screws used in areas in the motor housing are rusted. You would think they would be stainless but nope they are rusting. So that makes me suspect that it probably got water inside the motor housing or battery compartment as they aren’t properly sealed. I will take apart and post pics of the inside if they don’t offer to replace it.Very disappointed with this purchase.

Not large enough, does not have the capacity

I've been taking care of my 26,000 gallon pool for 34 years and I have tried many things to keep my pool clean. I can say without a doubt that this little "Catfish" gets the job done.I bought my first Catfish in 2015 and after almost 10 years the battery was not holding a charge. I knew I was getting another one.I rarely hook up my 35' hose and suction line anymore. After brushing the surfaces, I let any debris settle to the bottom of the deep end overnight and zoom my Catfish around and in less than 10 minutes the pool is sparkling clean.I saw some other reviewers saying it wouldn't pick up sand or that dust was just blowing through the sides, but that is what the micro filter bags are for. They are very similar to pantyhose and will filter out the smallest debris and dust, like dead algae.I agree that the debris cup is a little small, but there are larger versions of this product available if that is what you need.I'm hoping that my new Catfish lasts as long as my old one and I'll probably buy another one after that.

This pool vacuum has great power and quickly cleans up small debris in my pool. It saves me from having to drag out the large house and vacuum that hooks up to the filter on a regular basis. It also pulls up fine dirt that seemed to pass through the filter. You can use it while the pool filter is off allowing you to better see dirt as you clean. It cleans up easily, stores easily and has a long run time (at least 30 minutes) off of a single charge. It has been a great time saver and my pool has never looked better.
