Features.

Easy lift System.

This is a very impressive system that stops the cleaner from whatever it was doing and brings it to the surface of the pool. To determine the side of the pool that the robot comes to, long press the lift button. The easy lift system is very useful when it comes to emptying the canister when full. While lifting the cleaner from the water, be sure to use the handle as opposed to the cord.

Remote with motion sensing.

The Polaris 9550 is accessorized with a motion sensor remote that allows users to control it while under water. This comes in handy when targeting specific spots in the pool ensuring it literally never misses a spot while cleaning.

Vortex Vacuum Technology System.

The Vortex Vacuum system does an excellent job at sucking up dirt and debris from the pool and directing them to the canister. It claims to have a 25% vacuum power higher than other cleaners of its kind and can handle large debris such as pebbles easily.

Filter Debris Canister.

The canister of this cleaner is well equipped for filtering out dirt before the water is released back into the pool. It also comes in a unique shape that allows for very easy cleaning without touching the dirt in it.

Dirty Canister Indicator.

A dirty canister indicator, (something you rarely find in other in-ground cleaners) tells you when the canister is full and needs emptying. This saves you the hassle of constantly checking.

Solid blade brushes.

The Polaris 9550 uses solid blade brushes to scrub off the floor of your pool. These are very efficient at upsetting any stubborn debris that may have adhered to the floor in the pool.

7-day programmable system.

Another unique feature is the scheduling system that allows you to plan for cleaning ahead of time. After scheduling the cleaning, you can forget about it and the Polaris 9550 will do the remembering for you.

Four wheel drive system.

It uses four wheels to maneuver the pool’s terrains which paired with motion sensing abilities make it a perfect tool for pool cleaning. Motion sensing prevents it from getting stuck in one place within the pool.
