From The Manufacturer

The Polaris 9450 Sport provides best-in-class cleaning performance and features. With Vortex Vacuum Technology that enables extraordinary cleaning power without losing suction, the 9450 Sport tackles any pool terrain and climbs over obstacles without getting stuck. The 9450 Sport cleans all pool surface types and scrubs the floor, walls, and tile line with a pleated scrubbing brush. This machine has an all-purpose filter canister that has 4 times the capacity of other similar cleaners. That means fewer filter cleanings (up to 70% less), and lower operating costs (pennies per day). By engineering the machine with top access large capacity filter canister, debris can easily be emptied with a simple shake and spray convenience. Never touch debris again! The 9450 Sport is the only Polaris robotic to feature a new 7-day programmable timer, with fully customizable cleaning cycles. Simply set it and forget it. And, its ActivMotion Sensor allows the cleaner to automatically sense its position in the pool and adapt its path for optimized cleaning while reducing cord tangling. The 9450 also includes a NEW lift system. With the touch of a button the 9450 surfaces to a desired location and waits for you to grab it, then automatically evacuates water for effortless removal from the pool. The 9450 Sport cleans pools up to 50′ in length. It weighs just 16 lbs and includes a new premium, compact transport caddy that can be assembled without tools. Model is backed by a 2 year limited warranty.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

On the whole, the performance of this Polaris automatic pool cleaner is very good, with buyers saying that it is particularly effective at clearing a range of debris from the floor, but there is more of a mixed response about it performance on walls.
Not with the F9450, which moves about cleaning your pool not just with great efficiency, but in silence.
This is a new type of cleaner that provides better cleaning of the debris in the pool.
The cleaner has worked great for over 2 years in my 25x50 pool
The machine is designed to have a top access large capacity filter canister so the debris can easily be removed from it.
Excellent cleaning

What reviewers didn't like

There are some little quirks to this robotic in ground pool cleaner that can be a little frustrating – especially the inconsistency on walls and the desire to flip over like a toy poodle
It’s an expensive option for a robotic cleaner, which themselves are pretty expensive.
Although on certain circumstances, the robot struggles due to its weight and would struggle worse when the canister is full of dirt.
It gets stuck constantly on the drain any time it goes to the deep end which it seems to love
​It's a bit more on the high-end price range
Expensive
