When I saw how small the box was, I was not impressed. I'm a 68-year-old grandma with a messed up shoulder but the assembly diagrams were easy to follow. When I tried it in the pool, I was so surprised at how well it cleaned. The small size is actually a plus since it is very maneuverable. It picked up the small piles of pine needles and other junk that had been driving me crazy. It doesn't pick up the really fine stuff but for the price this is an excellent buy for my 18 ft round pool! Also, a trick that worked for me: Instead of running the vac thru the piles of pine needles, I hovered the vac just over the top of them and it worked great.
