I had the worst time keeping the Quick-set pool crystal clear without it. I bought the pool for my 7 year old and was afraid I may have to dismantle it if I couldn't keep it clean. Thankfully, I found this.
The skimmer basket is great, just adjust it to the water level and let the filter do the rest. The vacuum works very well, but will not pick up pebbles, so if you have landscaping rocks you will have to pick them off the bottom.
The hose is more than long enough,I have an 18ft. round and it has extra left over.
Attaching the skimmer is easy, with simple twisting clamps and once attached, chlorinating is simple because you can use the skimmer tabs.
Overall, it's very necessary to make keeping one of these pools enjoyable and hassle-free. I just wish that Intex would have included it in their pool to begin with!

This was hard to review because the ratings say this is a toy. This is not a toy, but I still rated the product. The vacuum works very well picking up leaves, grass and bugs off the pool's bottom. The more level the pool is the better the vacuum works. We have a 18ft pool and I stand inside the pool to clean it. The very fine particles go back into the pool, because there is no backwash on the pump to get rid the particles. I have to vacuum very slow to keep from stirring up the particles more. After vacuuming, the pool is cloudy for a day or two because of the particles are going back into the pool instead of being backwashed out. The skimmer works great at getting the bugs and stuff floating on top of the water. Make sure you clean out the hose in the pool connecting the skimmer to the inside pool wall. I didn't know that the debris collected there, which caused our pump not to work well. After cleaning the hose, the pump will work like new. The pool maintenance kit works really well and I couldn't maintain our pool very well without it.

This set contains very good tools for keeping my pool clean. I especially like the oversize skimmer. Much better than the standard skimmer.

This is not a toy! We have a 15x48, so we had to upgrad our pump, which is something we had beent thinking about anyways, to get the vaccum to work. It is so much better than the vaccum that came with our pool. This is once actually suck, and you dont have to use the water hose! Great price! Easy to use, practically right out of the box!

This has been great for my above ground pool. Being in Arizona, I don't really have to worry about lots of leaves for the skimmer to suck up, but it gets the other misc stuff that the wind blows into the pool.

The vaccuum works great with the intex salt water filtering system as well. I bought all of this stuff 'going cheap' and have been very happy with all of my Intex purchases.

This pool maintenance kit makes it is easy to keep the pool clean. Much better than the vacuum that came with the pool.

I purchased this item on 07/11/2011 and received it on 07/15/2011 the estimated delivery date that amazon.com stated was between 07/18-07/21/2011, so I am extremely satisfied with the shipping process.

I live in North Texas, it is very windy. Although there aren't many trees there are a ton of teeny tiny bugs that seem to find their way into our Intex above ground pool. Our pool is on the smaller size 14X42, however manually skimming the pool everyday took hours and it still wasn't free of bugs. I hooked up the auto skimmer last night and woke up to a clean pool this morning. Well at least the top of the pool water was cleaner than it had ever been. Next I attached the vacuum head and hose and cleaned out the bottom of the pool - dead grasshoppers, wasps, bumblebees you name it - it was sucking it up like no other! It took about 15 minutes and my pool is now sparkling clean and I can finally let my 6 year old back in the water. My only regret is that I didn't purchase this sooner!

We bought this to replace our vacuum and it works great. The skimmer works better than the one that came with the pool.

This is the best thing they came out with for Intex pools. Easy to use and cleans the bottom of the pool completely. I picks up everyyhing.

The larger skimmer does work good and can be cleaned easily.
I haven't found much use for the large basket or brush that attaches to to pole. I keep my vacuum head and hose attached to the pole.
The vacuum works good and picks up most leaves, pollen cones, and other debris. The vacuum also easily sucks up sand but you can see it spraying back out of the pump outlet while you are still vacuuming. The pool will stay cloudy for a day or so until the sand drops back down to the bottom. I have found that if I clean the pump filter immediately after vacuuming the pool it is less cloudy. My pool is about 200 feet away from a busy dirt road and dust is a big problem for me. I am planning on experimenting with secondary filtration while I vacuum or even just pumping the sandy water out of the pool while I vacuum then refilling the pool with water later.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and the vacuum is the most valuable tool in the deluxe package.
