Our Swim Skim 25 was impressive at first glance! Leaves absorb: prima! But then the disenchantment: young fish in the sieve = less pleasant. Filter mat wash: no problem ... but after about 10 times application clogged the mat, too many particles cling in the collection network and can no longer be rausholen, also begins to decompose the network. With an average of 5 hours of use per day, the net must be replaced monthly. Cost: around 10 euros ... you expect. After about 1 year of use, the suction power decreases. Despite guarantee the company to repair the machine refuses. Apparently, the rotor is so weak that after about 1000 cleaning hours (estimate basis: 6 months use per year) gives up the ghost. For the company, this oasis is part of the normal aging process. The audacity absolutely: the 2-year warranty is not accepted. Therefore: better change to something more expensive devices, in the hope that here is really a German product offered!
