Pool Vacuum for Above & In-ground Pool with a Telescopic Pole, Handheld Pool Vacuum Pool Keeper K1, Cordless Rechargeable Pool Vacuums Cleaner for Hot Tubs, Spas, Fast Deep Cleaning, 60 Mins Runtime

Like you, I usually read reviews and do my research prior to making a purchase on Amazon. For this product, I decided to take a “risk” and try it out given the limited number of reviews. There was a similar product that was a #1 best seller with fantastic reviews but was 30W versus 40W, equating to slightly less suction power. I appreciated the fact that this model advertised the ability to pick up underwater gravel (indicating strong underwater suction power). so I went for it. As a result, I am very happy with this purchase! It comes with two different vacuum mesh bags (one for larger heavier objects like stones and one that can pick up fine sediment and sand). The lightweight mesh bag for stones comes pre-installed. My pool has mostly sand and pine tree debris so I immediately switched out the filter bag to the sand one. I am VERY impressed with the power and run time of this vacuum! My pool looked clean, with only a few small specks here and there. However, when I emptied the bag for the first time (washable with a hose), it was filled with sand, bugs, and all sorts of muddy disgusting debris. The vacuum never “timed out” or lost power after a solid 30 minutes of vacuuming. The attachment rolling brush for the bottom is awesome. I like the fact that it seems to brush the bottom removing stuck on filth. The attachable extended pole is very helpful and is a universal size, so it attaches to my blue mesh skimmer. The vacuum also comes with an attachable handle and I have actually went swimming with this unit, getting up close and personal with its suction power. It’s awesome!I have found that you must keep the unit running and quickly place your hand over the intake before turning off to prevent reflux of debris from the intake. It has a back flow preventer, but still some small amount gets by if you turn it off in the water and proceed to pull it out.Overall, this is a pool cleaning game changer. Highly recommend!

I wish I could give this 0 stars, but I don't have that option.This vacuum was VERY poorly designed for its purpose of vacuuming in water. The charge port is covered when the power switch is on, but this switch is not watertight, which mean water leaks into the charging port. The rear attachment for the pile is flimsy, and given how heavy the vacuum is, it was only a matter of time before it cracked. And guess what this flimsy piece of plastic covers? That's right--the motor and the electric innards of the thing.It worked well for the roughly 45 days I used it before it either would shut off while turned on, or worse, would spontaneously turn on while switched off depending on how you move it. I presume this points to internal water contamination creating sorts, which makes this vacuum not only a bad product, but frankly a DANGEROUS product. I'm shocked this thing passed safety lab inspections.Why write this now? I threw this thing into my shed at the end of the pool season, and I realized I was so angry at this ripoff that I didn't even want to think about how much I paid for this garbage. It is the start of the season now, and I had forgotten I had no reliable working vacuum until tried to use this thing and all the memories came flooding back. You know, much like its motor compartment floods with water before its controls short out.I see this brand is no longer selling, but I see a new brand InoKraft which seems to be the same people with a changed name. The design and even model naming schemes are the same--this was a K1 and now InoKraft sells a K1.5. InoKraft, right now, if someone said they would shoot my dog unless I bought a vacuum from these people? I'd grieve for little Fido, but I'm not giving these people one red cent more.

I couldn’t be more thrilled in saying that not only this vacuum works very well, but I know first hand if you have experienced a problem, you have a great customer service team behind you. I had a situation where battery compartment filled with water and destroyed the battery. I sent photos to KRAFTEK and they immediately replaced the entire unit. This happened on an older model with the new model, that doesn’t happen. Feel confident in purchasing one of these machines because not only does it work fabulously But the support they provide if a problem arises, I think is phenomenal.

Good product. The only problem was I had to wait near two months

This has been a game changer, and I should've bought a pool vac sooner. I charged the vacuum as indicated and it was good to go. Assembly was very easy...and so far so good. I haven't had to use it for an extended period of time so I can't comment if it will last the actual runtime indicated (60 minutes). I've used this pool vac twice and I've had no issues. Cleaning the filter is easy.Our pool is next to a California Pepper Tree, which drops leaves into the pool all day, every day. This vacuum makes it easy to clean up the pool, and in particular the spa, where there is no skimmer. Speaking of skimmer - this vacuum allows me to suck up the leaves where the skimmer doesn't reach. Suction on this device is pretty good, and it was hard to pass up the price (bought it for $99.99). Seems to me that most of the vacuums I saw on here are all basically the same, so for me it really came down to the price on why I chose this model (as well as reading the reviews).My only some what negative comment (more of an observation) is I would've like to see the handle/brush head be able to pivot a bit more and not just back and forth (if this makes any sense). A longer pole would be beneficial as well. Not a big deal though on both of these points; I highly recommend this vacuum.Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps you. Happy cleaning!
