1. OASE Pondovac Handheld Pool Vacuum 

The OASE Pondovac Handheld Pool Vacuum comes with dual tank. We will be amazed with its dedicative model and the distinctive way it works. It takes water and fills the first tank until a particular level.

When the level is reached, the vacuum stops for a few moments for switching the valve to the second tank. Again the vacuum restarts to fill the second tank meantime first tank emptied by the exhaust hose. When the tank one is empty, tank two will be full and the cyclic process repeats.

3. Pool Blaster Catfish 20000CL Hand-held Pool Vac

You might wonder whether this product is a toy or a pool vacuum. It is a perfect pool vacuum that comes with a handily on or off button. It has rechargeable lithium batteries. It requires four hours for its recharge and can be run off for 45 minutes. The package has three trash collection bags, among them won’t be helpful for silt or sand collection.

Our recommendation is to add nylon stocking to its length which will help you for completion of the cleaning process. The other two bags are too thick and not suitable for an effective suction process. This equipment is compact and made out of plastic, which won’t last for many years. For longevity you need to do some steps like turn it on before putting it inside the water and turn it off only after taking it out from the water.

4. Bestway Aqua Powercell Handheld Pool Vacuum

The Bestway Aqua Powercell Handheld Pool Vacuum works on lithium rechargeable batteries. It is extremely lightweight that you could find at the market. But it struggles to stay down at the pool bottom due to its less weight, so you will end up in trouble with keeping it down to your pool bottom.

It comes with less effective suction. You might notice that it only stirs the silts and dirt in your pool but won’t capture them. It has a small net, which requires frequent emptying. So it takes a lot more time than the required period. The plastic locking over the bet comes from lowest quality material which breaks quickly. Some users complained that it runs once and dies after that. This handheld pool vacuum’s handle is shaky and won’t be durable. There is no return policy. It is good only with its batteries. Think before buying this product.

Pros

  • Finest batteries

Cons

  • Low quality plastic
  • Doesn’t durable
  • Poor suction
  • Hardly stays at the bottom the pool
