Ordered the Volt FX4LI and did receive it in a reasonable amount of time, however upon arrival there was no extendable handle for the unit, and obviously, that is kind of important for a pool vacuum.
Only in a very small faint print does it say on the site that it fits most standard handles, but at no point does it say handle purchased separately nor does it show you the handle you can purchase.
Now after getting it, they have dropped the price to $60, I don't need to do business with these types of businesses, wish I has read these reviews first. I only hope it at least works.
The price has been $139.99 all season for the Volt FX4LI which is what you had paid. The $60 that you are referring to is the discount off the list price of $199. Concerning the pole, the information isn't in fine print, it is in the bullet points right next to the product. Most pool owners already have a pole they used for vacuuming or skimming the leaves off the top of the pool so a separate pole should not be needed.
