Dirt Devil Whisper Vac Automatic Pool Cleaner

You might recognize the name Dirt Devil from their various lines of vacuums for the home. The outdoor versions are designed to clean most pools, regardless of shape or size. Designed with your potential for frustration in mind, simple features include wheels that won't jam, gears that won't break. Like many of its home-style counterparts, the Dirt Devil Whisper does not use bags. It also comes equipped with 39 feet of hose and attaches to your existing filtration systems.
That "whisper" is the result of a custom Unifram cleaning technology, created for quiet, click-cleaning patterns. Could pool cleaning become the next "white noise"?

The Baracuda X7 Quattro features a completely re-engineered "one moving part" diaphragm, making it a cutting-edge solution for pool cleaning. Powered by a pool's existing filtration system, the X7 can climb 90-degree sidewalls and navigates pool surfaces fast and efficiently.
When it comes to thorough cleaning, the Quattro features four independent flexible discs that move it beyond traditional mobility, while creating maximum suction and adhesion in tight corners and on the pool surface.
Increased agility and mobility is achieved through the tilt-action rudder and flex-connect hose. In combination, they have the ability to navigate tight corners and the stubborn obstacles.
