I have a pool rover jr that I bought about 6 years ago. It works very well. Once I had a twig get stuck in the works that prevented the motor from changing directions. Once I figured it out and removed the twig it worked great again! I bought it to handle the copious leaves and acorns I get every year. My only advice would be to order an extra collection bag so you can rotate them. It stretches out over time. Don't try to haul it out of the pool by the cord. It gets pretty heavy when it is full of debris and water and will damage the cord. I used to fish mine out with the hook end of a long bungy cord and haul it out that way.

 

[kimkats]

Funny you should say that about the cord. I used the hook end of the tie down I use with the chlorine jugs! I bought her up to where I could reach the handles and most of the water drain out. I can see i am going to need another bag for that very reason. Going to have to work on stopping the cord from tangling though. I guess "Lil Kim" wants to have curly hear like me

 

[zea3]

Good luck untangling the cord! I lay it out and uncurl it every time I use it! Still tangles up.

Pool Rover Junior review-aka Lil Kim

Here is the link to my write up so far.

 

[JoyfulNoise]

So, after 2 days of high winds blowing junk into my pool and a dust storm, here's what Mr. T did after 2 days in the pool (Floor-Only mode, 2-1/2 hour cycle) -



Not only did all those leaves and fronds get suctioned up but the fine filter was caked thick with dark brown silt and mud. The pool is sparkly clear again. This robot always impresses me with it's cleaning ability...

 

[kimkats]

Well done Mr. T! I am also loving my robot "Lil' Kim"! Yes Matt the name stuck My husband made the comment "This is the best thing to happen to this pool!"

[JoyfulNoise]

Well, if we can convince hubby a robot is worth it then there may be an inground pool build in your future....wouldn’t that be a trip!

 

[kimkats]

Will just THINKS his pool has the most BLING! hehe!

I don't see it in our future as I am getting close to retiring and none of our $$$$ plans include an in ground pool..............they DO include driving Route 66 from East coast to West coast in the 'vette!!!

Weak! It's time for Kim's build thread... I'll do the plans for free

 

[kimkats]

Be still my heart!!! Oh to have a BRIAN pool!!! OH ME, OH MY! Much talking and thinking to do!

Add in a shirtless Wanger as her personal day-laborer and she’ll redo the entire backyard...twice!!

 

[kimkats]

Sorry Matt but Wanger cannot hold a candle to my husband! HUBBA, HUBBA! He knows his way around the weight room........of course he tore his rotator cuff three weeks ago so there might be something to say about a younger model.........hummmmmmmmmmmmm

Didn’t he just recover from a knee surgery??

Time to tell hubby to slow it down and drink more beer...he should only be doing his lifts 12oz at a time

I don't know....Wanger has been on that Ninja Warrior show a few times. I've seen that clown doing monkey flips on the pull up bars... Pretty impressive.

I say we start a Kim build thread that everyone except Kim gets to provide their wants and needs for her pool. She gets no say at all in it. Payback for all the splurging she makes everyone do
