Might work well for some, but not for me.

I’ve had rectangular pool vacuum head for years. It has rollers and no bristles. So it’s just designed to pick stuff up, not scrub. I saw this model on a YouTube video and it specifically mentioned it was great for vinyl pools. Based on the triangular shape, I also thought it would get into corners easier. I used it today for the first time. I started in the deep end, 12 feet, and the first thing I noticed was how difficult it was to push along the bottom. I really had to fight with it which made it difficult to maneuver in any logical pattern to ensure full covered. Once while trying to pull it towards me, the pole came loose from the attachment arm. I decided perhaps the extreme angle of the pole was making it difficult to push so I moved to the shallow end. This did help a bit but it was still a lot of work to move it across the bottom surface. I believe the problem here was more that it was suctioning itself to tight to the bottom. In addition, it’s not flexible like my rectangular head and will not transition well from the side to the bottom, which is curved. After struggling with this for as long as it usually take me to vacuum the entire pool, I had a partially and randomly vacuumed pool. I switched back to the rectangular head and it was so much easier. Anyway, just thought I’d try something new (and it’s pretty cool looking) but for my needs, this head is not the proper solution.
