Hayward Navigator

Poor Design For Certain Pool Finishes – Its normal "shoes" (two types) will not grip my marble sheen (70000 litre) pool finish (6 yr s since resurface) so I have had to use the cork "shoes" (not intended for concrete pools) at approx $50 a set which wear out fast ( replace every 4 months). It had a warranty fix as it stayed down one corner of the deep end after 2 Years of use which its now doing again (18 Months later and outside warranty). Aust Distributor said re replacement/refund talk to the Brisbane pool shop you bought it from- who gave me a blank stare when I asked about options given its poor and expensive performance. On the plus side when it did cover the whole pool surface it was quite effective- but at the high price of regular cork shoe replacement. Its approx 3.5 years old.
Purchased for $800.

The best pool cleaner yet – Our trusted pool shop owner recommended the Hayward Navigator and gave me a floor model to trial for a week, after which I bought one. Based on the first six months of use, this is far and away the best cleaner we've had. It's quiet, simple in construction and easy to clean, travels around the pool quickly, has great suction and does an outstanding job of cleaning the walls and waterline. It has no problem with small leaves and berries (which we have lots of), but occasionally chokes on a palm frond; when this happens, undoing one screw lets you lift out the bottom panel and remove the culprit. The price was $A450 without hoses (the hoses from our unlamented Polaris ATV fit perfectly). I'd recommend the Hayward to any pool owner.
navigator is a very good assitant to pool maintance – the navigator is very good at covering the whole pool also climbs the walls well easy to store and you can leave it all day in the it does have parts that do need replacing such as the rubber feet and side flaps we have been using it for 8 years now and are happy with the result covers the whole pool
