The latest VacDaddy 2.0 version is here. It’s tough to place this in any one category. It has the power of a vacuum system but the capacity of a suction cleaner canister (internal debris bags). It doesn’t use a battery but plugs in. It vacuums a pool like a vacuum connected to the skimmer but rides on your pole with no hoses. It’s the Duck-Billed platypus of pool tools! However, the Vacuum to Waste (V2W) adapter and the shallow water adapter make this a versatile machine.
