Fast, thorough cleaning without a booster pump
The Legend II provides the strongest cleaning action available without the need for a booster pump. It picks up leaves and large debris with ease, and its heavy-duty, large capacity twist-lock collection bag makes maintenance easy.
The Legend II is not only thorough, it's fast, too. With an innovative hydro-dynamic body, it moves along the pool bottom faster than most other automatic cleaners. Suitable for use in concrete, gunite, vinyl-lined and fiberglass pools, it can clean most pools thoroughly in just 1 to 3 hours.
Additional features include:
No booster pump required.
Unique Front Wheel Drive/Four Wheel design allows better tracking and cleaning.
Specially designed debris channel and massive intake throat tackles debris with ease.
Heavy-duty, large capacity twist-lock collection bag is designed for efficiency and easy maintenance.
Double-jetted vortex venturi creates ultra-strong vacuuming action for superior cleaning.
Dual thrust jets for superior pool coverage.
One-year limited warranty. See warranty for details.
How does this compare to the polaris?

Hi Donald, The Kreepy Krauly Legend II Pool Cleaner is very competitive with the Polaris. The Polaris brand is a lot more popular but performance wise it worth it.

can this be used in an above ground pool 15 ft by 34 ft the bottom is not entirely flat like an inground pool

Hi Mick, This cleaner is not recommended for use in an above ground pool. The Polaris 65 Pool Cleaner or Turbo Turtle Pool Cleaner are the above ground pool pressure cleaner that's available.

(4 out of 5 stars) Had it for a couple of weeks now.

Pros: he's a hell of a lot better than my old Jandy Ray Vac
Cons: gets stuck at steps, gross to have to empty the trash because it's in a net (unlike Ray Vac), can't leave him in the pool to do his job in the winter, not very efficient at picking up leaves
This Legend II was a direct replacement for my old Jandy Ray Vac. I just unscrewed Ray Vac's wall fitting, screwed this one in, and put the Legend II to work. I have a pool shaped like an ink blob or something, very abstract, so I didn't bother to shorten the hose. So far so good. He climbs the sides of the pool and drives around very well. The pool is around 11 feet deep at the deepest and around 3 feet at the most shallow. It's not a very large pool, so he climbs very well. Cleaning his bag out is a new experience compared to Ray Vac. You just unvelcro the top of it and use your hand to remove the stuff. Honestly, not the cleanest and most appreciated method of cleaning, as I enjoyed just pulling Ray Vac out and using the hose on him. Using your fingers to scrape gunk out isn't that fun. So far I only have three real complaints though, and for somebody as picky and resistant to change as me, that isn't very many. I don't like that I'm not supposed to leave him in my pool over winter. I would do that with Ray Vac and he didn't care. The Legend II is basically shaped (and works) like a self propelled lawn mower, and like one, when he runs into my steps, he just stays there until his backup cycle (around every 3 minutes if I remember correctly) gets him off. Seems like he should have a less blunt nose so he doesn't get stuck on flat surfaces. This cleaner does not like steps he cannot run into and drive up and over. And finally, my third and final complaint... because he gets stuck at the stairs for minutes at a time, I can already see wear on his rubber tires, and he has been damaging the edges of my steps, which were already due for resurfacing. That's partially my pool's fault and partially his fault. And finally, this isn't a complaint so much as it is just something I kind of smirked at... He isn't terribly efficient at picking up leaves. He'll often drive over them, and not pick them up. Eventually, he does get them, but his batting average isn't very good. Even though he can drive all over my pool and probably touch nearly every part of the floor in 30 minutes to an hour, he certainly does need 3 or more hours to do his job. If he was an employee, you'd fire him for being inefficient, but since he isn't and just operates off the existing pool pump (costing no extra energy to run), I think he's good. Overall, he has been a major improvement over my old Ray Vac though, because he actually visits the shallow end, and can get up the walls!

(5 out of 5 stars) Almost Perfect
Reviewed By: Vic C. from Dayton, MD ()
Pros: Great suction and balance.
Cons: Needed a little adjustment to keep its rear end down.
The best auto cleaner we've ever had. It was almost perfect right out of the box. Plenty of power and doesn't miss a spot. We've had problems with leaves for years, but not anymore.
