VINGLI Pool Vacuum Cleaner Automatic Sweeper Swimming Pool Creepy Vacuum

This is a review of the first 24-hours of operation of the 2024 version of the Vingli pool vacuum. I have owned multiple of the Vingli pool vacuums (original version)-- perhaps 3 or 4. What I found with the original version was that they last about 1 year before they self destruct. The support structure of the original version usually breaks somewhere and eventually causes the unit to stop working after about 1 year of operation. Since the units have a 1-year warranty I was able to get one unit replaced. The design on the 2024 version appears to eliminate the support structure that has been the cause of the breakage in the past on the original units. My expectation- this new version should last longer (not verified yet). I disconnected the older version vacuum head from the hose and installed the 2024 version vacuum head. It operated perfectly-- and has continued for the past 24 hours (cycled on/off a couple times). So far I'm pleased with the 2024 version-- time will tell how well it holds up. UPDATE: After a couple day, our opinion is: this unit is superior to the earlier version. It does not get hung up on the steps and corners, it operates just like the older version otherwise. We are anticipating that it will last more than 1-year (our prior experience with the older version). It certainly is work the price. UPDATE AGAIN: I have not changed my opinion. This unit is an improvement over the old model and works great. Highly recommend it. UPDATE AGAIN: this unit broke after 5 months of use. I contacted VINGLI customer service and had new / replacement unit within 6 days. Great customer service.

I’ll start by saying that if I could give this zero stars, I absolutely would—but unfortunately, I have to leave at least one star in order to write this review. I don’t usually write negative reviews because I believe every product deserves a fair chance. However, this item is truly a waste of time and money. It does not crawl at all. Not on flat surfaces, and definitely not on walls. I’ve used many pool vacuums before, and I’ve never experienced anything like this. The suction power starts off okay for the first couple of minutes, then completely drops off, and the vacuum just sits motionless at the bottom of the pool. I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I adjusted the hose valve, checked the bladder insert, and even inspected my pool equipment to make sure the issue wasn’t on my end. Still nothing. Please save your money, but more importantly, save your time. This product is pure disappointment.

All pool cleaners can get stuck in a corner of the pool by steps or tight corners. Installing a "pool hose rotator" will help solve this problem. Also, use the "45 degree" white connector when connecting the hose to the unit to improve "corner performance". Also, if your pool cleaner port on your pool is not located in the center of your pool, consider installing a 45 degree PVC fitting onto your port first to allow the cleaner hose to point more towards the center of the pool. I found this to work very well in my pool where the pool cleaner inlet port is not in the center of the pool. Also, you can get more hours of use out of your yellow diaphragm by adjusting the tension on the diaphragm. When the cleaner stops working after many hours of operation (the diaphragm rubber relaxes and the opening becomes too large) adjust the opening by loosening the yellow retaining ring, slide the clear tube to adjust the diaphragm opening (tension) to about a 1/16 of an inch, reassemble and check the operation of the cleaner. Good company to work with. They have made improvements on this new model and are very responsive to issues you have with the unit. UPDATE 05/05/2025 I have used this cleaner for over a year. I run my unit year round, even in the winter, to keep the pool clean. The unit is still working great, but it was getting caught on my pool drain, so I replaced the yellow "foot" pad and now it is working great. Also, as noted in my first review, you can modify your hose configurations to help the cleaner not get stuck in the corners. I am now using a "pool hose rotator" to prevent this problem. They can be purchased here on Amazon for $67.

This pool vaccum works well, For build in's!!! It vibrates the hose to shake & sucks up the debris on the bottom of pool & it actually does the walls too! Since, We gaved Up on the rolling robot ones Cuz, after 1yr hits, They quit working... I had gone though 2# robot ones on wheels! & When it comes to a yr! They completely stopped working... So this one is kicking it out well. SO Glad We gave it a try. As I'm handicap & is very easy to put hoses together & attach to filter system. Thank you bunches

Started off good but into the year it doesn’t move . I have trouble shooter the obvious pool filter cleaned etc . It’s a waste of $ for the time you spend on getting it to. Start moving until it just stops

I bought this vacuum a couple years ago, it just succumbed to chlorine brittleness… my replacement arrived yesterday… easy to install… a tip to make these last, zip tie the base to keep it strong and do not over do the vacuum suck motion and it’ll last

I purchased 2 of these now. 1st one lasted about 1 yr. 2nd one didn't even last a yr. It falls apart, quits working. You have to keep babysitting it to keep it moving. If you don't watch out it will suck air and ruin your $360 pool pump. I'm done throwing this in the trash.

Best pool vacuum ever bought. Had two other brands that fall apart and useless after 2 years. Been using it for over a year and have not had to replace the diaphragm yet and came with extra if needed, and still looks and works like new. Great price and value.

Probably not suitable for most pools here in UAE as it doesn't do corners very well. As long as there's no steps at the bottom of the pool it will do very well at cleaning the bottom ONLY without being stuck. No chance for wall cleaning but there's no need for it.
