The 9950 Sport appears less like a robotic pool cleaner and more like a small sports car thanks to its sleek blue and gray color and black sidewall wheels. The chassis is made of double-insulated polyethylene and weighs 21 pounds, which is 1 pound more than the Aquabot Turbo T4RC and 5 pounds less than the AquaVac 500, so up to 60-foot-long pools are no problem for it.

With just 20 minutes of simple setup, we were able to proceed with cleaning the pool, we observed that the suction of the machine was very strong then removed all debris, dirt, and small particles off pool floors and surfaces.

Additionally, the new and intuitive motion sensor remote puts cleaning control in the palm of our hand so we simply point and direct the 9550 Sport to any desired location in the pool.

The Polaris 9550 has the longest floating power cable I have ever encountered on a pool robot. This is great if you have a large in-ground swimming pool.

Polaris 9550 Sport pool cleaner is compatible with all types of pools such as In-ground pools, above-ground pools, gunite pools, tiled pools, fiberglass pools, and vinyl pools of all shapes and sizes size. The Polaris 9550 Sport comes with a user-friendly and easily replaceable filter. The filter effectively traps and retains debris and particles, preventing them from re-entering the pool.

Dealing with pool cleaners can occasionally be a task unto itself, but this model will prevent that. This solution will save you a ton of time and will cost a little bit more overall than some others, but it will make your pool look clean.


How It Worked in the Long-Term

With high-quality materials, it is resistant to environmental factors and ensures a long service life. With its energy-saving feature, the Polaris 9550 Sport Pool Cleaner operates efficiently and consumes little energy. It relies on the pool's existing filtration system, eliminating the need for additional energy-consuming components. Polaris 9550 Sport cleaner is also easy to maintain. With a large litter box, you don't need to clean and replace the litter often. This saves time and effort in maintaining the cleaning machine.

Editor’s Verdict: For those looking for a long-lasting and efficient pool cleaner, the Polaris 9550 Sport comes highly recommended.
