I just received my PB-CG the other day & used it last weekend. While I like the easy set-up, it really doesn’t have much suction power. The whole time I was going over the same spots over and over again. Even picking up small leaves is a chore. Also had to be sure to keep pressing on the pole to keep it in contact with the pool bottom. Another issue is cleaning the pool steps (on the shallow part) which is essentially useless.
The PB-CG is suppose to have 33% more power than the regular version but if your pool is anything more than 8000 gallons, you would be happy getting something more powerful than this. Interestingly the manufacturer states that the MAX CG pumps up to 61 GPM but I doubt that it can do even half as much. Considering that my 1.5 hp pool pumps about 70 gpm (running on 220 volts , 8 amps) I can’t see something like this which essentially runs on 4 NiMH rechargeable battery can pump as much.
PROS
>> Easy to use
>> Simple to put together (not many parts or hoses).
>> Very Light
>> Easy cleaning
CONS
>> Weak Suction
>> Long recharge time (8 – 10 hours)
>> Only 40 minutes usage time
>> Not good for silt, sand or large leaves.
CONCLUSION
For anything other than simple spot cleaning this is really not useful at all; however considering its cost, I would think there are better (less costly) solutions elsewhere.

The machine is easy to use but is not useful for dead algae. With the standard bag algae slips through. I then purcased a pack of 5 micro- filter bags for $20.+ $7 shipping. The micro filter bags are an improvement but it still lets algae through. You can see a cloud of algae passing through in the water

This cleaner did the job we expected. It picked up leaves and sand/dirt at bottom of the pool. It is easy to use and works very well in corners where our brush wont get. We have used it three times and have not had an issue with battery life. We would definately recommend.
