For as long as I can remember, we have been using Baracuda automatic pool cleaners. The last one was an X7 Quattro. Unfortunately this Baracuda reached the end of its life after about 4 years in service, and the final year was very painful for all who had to deal with it - it was constantly falling apart and getting itself jammed in odd places. When it came time to select a new product, I initially went to the Baracuda dealers' websites to find a good deal for a newer, better version. However, I 'tripped over' an Onga Hammerhead on one of the websites, and found people were giving it excellent reviews. At first, I did not know what to make of it, because the brand was unfamiliar (having been brought up as a Baracuda fan,,,). However, after reading a few reviews, I thought I should investigate further. Instead of the usual 2 or 3 stars for many of the other similar products, the Hammerhead was rating close to 5 stars. When I found out that it is same as a Kreepy Krauly (its USA branding), I immediately made up my mind to give this a go. For the amount of money we paid (less than the X7 Quattro that died), this is a very good pool cleaner. It handles the corners well - especially around the steps. The previous pool cleaners often got themselves wedged in the steps area due to sharp corners. The Hammerhead always seems to find a way out of the jam by itself. The only tweak I had to do was to adjust the direction of the water return jet. The first couple of days I could see that the Hammerhead avoided one part of the pool, then discovered the return jet was pushing it away. Once that was resolved, the whole pool was covered well. So overall, I am very happy and think this is a great product. SCRead full review

It is not powerful enough to clean up the sides of the pool, and we can't get it to work longer in the shallow end or on the steps. Unfortunately our pool doesn't have moveable flow outlets to allow changes to the Onga's movements, as recommended in the trouble shooting section. Along with having to buy adaptors for the leaf catcher because they are not supplied and the fact one end of the pool is not able to be cleaned properly, I'd rate my purchase as disappointing.

This product was recommended to me by a family member. The Onga Hammerhead Automatic Pool Cleaner is doing a fantastic job so far, has been working for only a week so far and doing well. Time will tell in regards to quality.
