The filter on this is good at picking up larger debris like small broken up leaves or maybe sand but it struggles with dead algae because they are fine particles which slip through the sock filter. I recommend supplementing filtration with a shop towel wedged in with a pool sock. Dispose of the towel and rinse off the sock... Rinse and repeat. After it collects enough dead algae or debris the suction power is reduced so you need to clean the filter.
This is also why they have available additional disposable filters for purchase because the one included is basic.

This was my first reaction as well, but then I was thinking of use cases:
1. Your dedicated pool cleaner pump is not working, or not working well, or you've decided to give up on automated pool vacs (I'm almost at this point with mine)
2. You don't leave your automated vac in the pool all the time, and maybe you just want to do a quick touch up without getting everything out and turning on pump, etc.
3. Maybe some places your automated vac doesn't reach (swim outs, steps, etc). Definitely applies to me as well. This would be great for that. Right now, I try to sweep those areas into the vac zone, and it's almost a fool's errand.
Dang it. Talking myself into "needing" this is the last thing I wanted to do!
Looks like pricing is much higher than similar units in the market though (like double in some cases, if you consider "normal" price for this). I guess this reduced price is a sign of that. Wonder if it also performs twice as well.
