This lightweight and long-lasting spa and pool cleaning tool features a higher debris capture capacity than the standard Pool Blaster Catfish. Its ability to quickly and easily collect debris--including sand, silt, and dirt--makes it the perfect addition to your hot tub and pool supplies. Due to its compact and cordless design, this handheld pool vacuum cleaner works just as well in a variety of swimming pool types, shapes, and sizes: whether you’re spot-cleaning a big pool with a rectangular, oval, or round shape; a small or large pool; metal-framed or steel; or above-ground or inground pool, the Catfish Li Ultra is your best choice for battery-powered pool cleaning. The handheld Catfish Li Ultra comes complete with a 4-piece sectional pool pole. Because it’s powered by a Lithium-ion battery, no pool vacuum hose is needed to operate the cleaner. It’s fully rechargeable in four hours and has a 45-minute run time.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pool vacuum. Some mention it's well engineered and has quality components that are easily assembled. They say it'll pick up dirt, debris, and leaves very easily. However, others say it is very flimsy with the weight of the product, the floppy plastic pole extensions that came with it, and the handle is a little fliggy than they prefer.

"...The included plastic pole pieces are very cheap and flimsy. I attach my Catfish Ultra to my aluminum pool pole and it fits perfect...." Read more

"...The the only downside is its size. The filter picks up the smallest particles but because of its small size it clogs quickly and you lose suction...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning. Some mention that the battery life is plenty, cleaning is no problem, and the vac itself is great. It cleans the loose pebbles, dirt, sand, and small leaves. However, others say that the filter is super hard to clean, and that the basket has to be emptied often.

117 customers mention77 positive40 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the product. Some mention it's well worth the price and a game changer, while others say it'll not age well, the price point is high for a disposable product, and replacing the collection bag is extremely expensive. The included plastic pole pieces are very cheap and flimsy.

"...Other than that, it works great and is well worth the money to not have to drag out the vacuum head and giant hose that attaches to the skimmer...." Read more

"...The included plastic pole pieces are very cheap and flimsy. I attach my Catfish Ultra to my aluminum pool pole and it fits perfect...." Read more

109 customers mention65 positive44 negative

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the pool cleaner. Some mention that it is easy to clean and the charge lasts. They say it charges in 4 hours and lasts for about a week of vacuuming. However, others say that the battery only lasts 20-40 minutes and it shuts off again.

"...Just remember to keepThat filter clean. Battery life seems adequate." Read more

"...My only flaw is that the battery only last 20-40mins, which will make this a long cleaning process!..." Read more

150 customers mention42 positive108 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the pool vacuum. They mention that it's too flimsy and too short to be of much use in the pool, the pole included is a little short, and the multi-piece handle is too short. The basket is small and has to be emptied often, and it has a fairly small collection bag. The vacuum aperture is too small to get most leaves, but it hoovers up all the other.

"...brush instead of the plastic pole included because the plastic one is a little short.It took about 2.5 hours to fully charge...." Read more

"...The inlet on the bottom is too small to suck up larger leaves, but they are easy enough to clean out with my net...." Read more

Purchased the Pool Blaster Catfish Ultra pool touch-up cleaning. Pros...small, light weight, cordless, and easy to store. This is a very efficient and effective small job cleaner. I have in-floor cleaning heads that are not super effective in corners and stairs. This is a great tool for those areas. Cons...my wet deck (Shallow area) isn't quite deep enough to keep water flowing through the pump. Also the excluded extension pole will only be useful if you are in the pool and vacuuming a spa. This is not a deal breaker in my opinion though, pool owners have long extension poles already. This little catfish is a keeper. USEFUL, CONVENIENT, EFFECTIVE.

Item Shape: Catfish UltraVerified Purchase
Easy to assemble the filter holder and handle. I opted to use the regular pole from my pool brush instead of the plastic pole included because the plastic one is a little short.

It took about 2.5 hours to fully charge. The vacuum worked very well to pick up all the dirt and sand at the bottom of the pool. I live in a wooded area and we sometimes get wind that blows in some fine dirt. This little vacuum got it all up.

My only complaint is that it is not heavy enough and it is difficult to keep it on the bottom of the pool. I think I will add an ankle weight to the flat vacuum head to heep it flat. Other than that, it works great and is well worth the money to not have to drag out the vacuum head and giant hose that attaches to the skimmer. That is a real pain. This little vacuum is super easy and quick to use to keep your pool looking great! Highly recommended.

I returned this product because I do not think it is meant for a large pool. It does a great job but takes forever and is very hard to keep on the bottom. The pole that comes with it is a joke. Sooooooo short but that being said good for a jacuzzi or very small pool. I bought this based on other pool owners saying how great it works which it does but the surface area it cleans is very small and the angle of the handle made it hard for me to work with. I’m Five foot two and I could not keep it flush without being in the pool. I think this is great for small areas My pool is about 30 x15 and almost six feet deep. So really analyze how much time you want to spend. Probably good for spot cleaning. I did attach a longer pole but that didn’t really improve my situation.

I recently had a pool filter grid tear and filter media ended up in the bottom of my pool. Sweeping and hoping the filter would eventually pick it up resulted in failure. I tried this little vac with great success. It’s like a submersible dust buster vac. The the only downside is its size. The filter picks up the smallest particles but because of its small size it clogs quickly and you lose suction. You quickly rinse it out and you’re back in business. I emptied/rinsed the filter about a dozen times before I got an area about 10’ by 10’ cleaned up. Now my pool is sparkling clean. I would definitely recommend. Just remember to keep
That filter clean. Battery life seems adequate.

I had high hopes for this unit. I studied the other reviews, and felt that out of all the offerings this one had the best chance of satisfying our need. Thanks Upon delivery, it was packaged nicely, and assembled easily for me. I tried it three times, and was disappointed. I tried to use it in the car spa, as it is the place where the filter discharges back to the poor (waterfall/wier). Since we have a salt water pool, periodically the chlorinator reverses its polarity and expels calcium salt crystals into the spa where they accumulate on the bottom. The suction of this unit was barely adequate. Its discharge ports disturbed the sediment, and dispersed it, making a second round or third round of cleaning necessary. The suction was not noticeable unless the unit was sitting directly on top of the deposit for some time. I think that the filter bags are adequately designed , as it does not let these fine particles pass through.

This thing is pretty good. Every spring getting pool ready to swim after putting in chemicals and shock I always have fine dirt, silt, and some debris on bottom that my automatic pool cleaner doesn't get as it is too fine of particles. This Catfish Ultra works very well and saves me a great deal of time and water. In the past I would get out my manual pool cleaning hose and head and vacuum to waste to remove the fine particles. This Catfish Ultra works very well and saves me a great deal of time and water. After fully charging I hooked it to my current standard pole turned on and in less than 10 minutes cleaned the debris. It truly saved me a bunch of time and water.

I have a Gunite pool and spa with a StoneScapes pebble finish. This info is for those of you with a similar pool so you will have an idea how this product will work in a similarly built pool.

I bought this specifically for cleaning my spa since my pool vac is too big to use in the spa and other methods were difficult and not very good at getting the spa clean.

The included plastic pole pieces are very cheap and flimsy. I attach my Catfish Ultra to my aluminum pool pole and it fits perfect. Attaching it to the aluminum pole also gives much better reach as it is longer than the included pole parts. I found that I had to extend the telescopic part of the pole a couple of inches to get the Catfish to fit since it will hit the inner pole if it is all the way in the outer pole.

The vac itself is great. It cleans the loose pebbles, dirt, sand and small leaves without issue. The inlet on the bottom is too small to suck up larger leaves, but they are easy enough to clean out with my net. I can have the spa cleaned in just a few minutes with this vac.

I have only charged it twice since I bought it last summer and I have cleaned the spa quite a few times with it.

This vac has worked out perfectly for cleaning the spa and I will buy another one when this one quits working.
