Top 3 Reviews of Polaris Pool Cleaning Robots

Let’s take a look at the models that are, in our opinion, the best Polaris pool cleaning robots, all thoroughly reviewed for you.

Polaris F9350 Sport Robotic In Ground Pool Cleaner

The Polaris F9350 combines innovative engineering with intelligent sensors and style to deliver an efficient pool cleaning experience.

Features

• This is a 2-wheel drive robotic pool cleaner.
• It has Aqua-Trax tyres that allows it to tread on all types of pool surfaces.
• Navigation is guided by ActivMotion sensor technology.
• Debris pick up and suction power controlled by Vortex Vacuum technology.
• Access to debris in tight corners and under stairs is enabled its by rear water propulsion system.
• Heavy gauge ally caddy, with powder coat for improved storage and transport.

Advantages

• Irrespective of the size of the pool or even if it’s a free-form pool the navigation system enables F9350 to clean it effectively.
• Some of the earlier robotic pool cleaners I’d used failed to clean the debris in the awkward spots inside the pool. That’s not an issue with the F9350.
• The capacity of the filter canister is impressive.

Drawbacks

• While the F9350 does a great job of cleaning, on a number of occasions it flips over on its back while climbing the pool wall. This is quite frustrating as every time I have to manually bring it out.
• I also had an issue with the water exhaust at the rear, as it blows the dirt back into the pool after cleaning.

Polaris F9450 Sport Robotic In-Ground Swimming Pool Cleaner Vacuum 4-Wheel Drive

This is part of the same series of robotic pool cleaners as the F9350, with certain additional upgrades for an enhanced pool cleaning experience.

Features

• Vortex Vacuum technology for capturing a larger amount of debris at a faster rate.
• ActivMotion sensor for navigation.
• It’s equipped with 4WD technology that enables it to not only clean the pool floors, but also the walls and scrub the tile lines.
• It has a pleated scrubbing brush.
• It cleans pool up to 50 feet in length.
• It can be pre-programmed for a 7-day period in advance.

Advantages

• I love the fact that the filter canister access is on the top. It makes clearing and cleaning it a lot easier.
• The lift system in the F9450 that allows me to simply push a button and see the robotic cleaner surface, makes my job of retrieving it simple.
• It also automatically evacuates water, which further simplifies the process of removal from the pool.

Drawbacks

• It gets tangled in the cord often, which essentially nullifies the pre-programmed cleaning sessions. I have to be present during the sessions.
• The quality of scrubbing isn’t as good as I expected.

Polaris F9550 Sport Robotic In-Ground Pool Cleaner

This is the top-end robotic pool cleaner from Polaris. A truly excellent unit that can effectively clean any pool, personal or professional, in style.

Features

• It’s a 4-wheel drive robotic cleaner.
• All the other features are the same as that in the F9450 model.

Advantages

• The oscillating brushes in the F9550 model are particularly good at scrubbing away obstinate dirt and grime.
• The filter canister has a large capacity, which eliminates the need for frequent emptying.
• The motion-sensing handheld remote is a nifty gadget.

Drawbacks

• While it does pick up larger debris, the dust and fine dirt remains on the pool surface.
• It doesn’t clean under the stairs and the base of the pool wall as well as advertised.

Final Word

With an innovative take on the classic, Polaris’ pool cleaners deliver excellent quality and equally good performance with an edge of style – putting it a notch above the competition.
