Three owners who came to the AquaSense 2 from another cleaner describe an upgrade. One who replaced a Polaris 9550 says it clears storm debris in half the time, one who replaced a Pentair Racer and booster pump calls it tremendous for energy use and noise, and one who sent back an Aiper cordless calls it the best pool vacuum they have had. Another owner says it took over most of the waterline scrubbing they used to do by hand.
In daily use, three owners say it cleans the waterline well, one says it climbs a steep, bowl-shaped deep end with ease, and one averages 4 to 4.5 hours per run in a 20x30 irregular pool with ledges. The complaints are a small basket, noted by two owners; one owner's verdict two days in that it left debris or sand on the floor; and a 2025 case of corrosion within three months in a saltwater pool.
One owner says it works fine in a 12x24 ft pool, and another says it has no trouble keeping a 24,000-gallon pool clean. It does not clean the surface, and three owners pair it with a separate skimmer, a Betta or an Aiper Surfer 2. With so many oaks around, one owner who has both it and a Sora 70 says the Sora's basket, about twice as big, is what they need most.
