Easy installation
The motor is ok, but pretty noisy. It will do

No more noisy pool pump
This was easier than I expected and faster than some online videos because they now give easy access to the motor shaft in the backside of the motor by removing a plastic cap. No need to remove the capacitor, etc. The whole process took about 90 minutes and I was being very careful. I could do it again in about 30 min.My pool equipment pad is elevated and it's hard to get water to flow if ever the pump is off for a while, so my pump runs 24/7. This is the second new pump in 18 years and the last one (same model) cost me $700 to be professionally installed.I do a lot of my own repairs at home and I'm careful to read and watch videos online before attempting anything like this. I also photograph each stage of disassembly so I don't forget how things go back together (never trust your memory) My youtube search was "A.O. B129"Good Luck!

Doesn't last
Have purchased 2 of these (2018, 2020) and both seem to have bearings that are worn out as they make a loud noise after 1-2 seasons of use. Poor quality. I'm going to take them to a local electric motor repair shop to see if they can be fixed, hopefully with better parts.

Great Pump
Tired of paying a “pro” huge bucks to replace our pump, so ordered this motor. Did it myself, easy peasy, and the pump works GREAT! Very happy!

Horrible, lasted one season!!!!
Lasted 1 season, it is so loud, you have to shut off, to hear people talk. Will not ever purchase another one!!! not worth the money!! Also would like to add, I bought this same motor in July 2020, had to replace it in January 2021, and now this one is shot!!!!
