Pool Blaster Hydro 500 vs. Pool Blaster Centennial Li

[rj2222]

Hi everybody. Want to get a little cordless vacuum, and have narrowed it down to these two I think in their price range: Pool Blaster Hydro 500 vs. Pool Blaster Centennial Li.

My problem is I'm having a hard time figuring out the differences between each one. They almost look the same but different color/style, but I'm sure there's more to it than that which I'm probably missing

Anyone else notice what the big difference is? Or have one of these and would recommend it?

Here's links to them too

I don’t know anything about them, but in looking at their specs they are very close in weight, batteries last about the same amount of time. If it were me I’d probably go for the cheapest. Lol

That's exactly what I said

Coming back to this in case it helps anyone in the future, the Hydro 500 worked well for its first season. Big difference having this vs. the type that come with a lot of pools that attach to the hose and suction into a mesh net with the finest particles not getting caught by the net.

This picks up those finer things sitting on the bottom of the pool fairly well. Definitely glad I got this. I'm sure the more expensive models have bigger reservoirs or stronger suction or a longer battery runtime, but I was able to get a few cleanings per charge so it worked out fine for an 18 round. The included pole is a little short though so glad I have long arms
