Honest reviews from customers who upgraded their pool cleaning routine

I have a 24 foot round above ground pool with a 52' inch depth. The bottom is not perfectly smooth (some wrinkles and divets), but the product does a great job in about 2 to 3 hours. I plan on running it every couple of days to clean and stir up the water at the bottom of the pool.

I was a little apprehensive about this cleaner, but it has proved to be a great help keeping my pool clean.

The fact that this cleaner came with its own filter bag was a huge help. I have an older filter and pump so I do like that this doesn't add more wear on them.

This is an AWESOME clenaer!!!! We don't mind cleaning the pool at all anymore. This thing rocks!

My wife and I like having this cleaner a lot, it does an exceptional job, nothing left on the pool floor at all. The cart helps for easy storage ... somewhat expensive but in the end well worth it.

Pool Cleaner FAQ

Helpful answers to common questions about choosing and using a pool cleaner

What does a pool cleaner do?

A pool cleaner automatically removes dirt, debris, and buildup from your pool’s floor, walls, and sometimes the waterline—helping keep your water clean with less manual effort.

What are the main types of pool cleaners?

The three main types are robotic, suction, and pressure cleaners. Robotic cleaners run independently, while suction and pressure cleaners use your pool’s existing pump and filtration system.

Which pool cleaner is best for my pool?

It depends on your pool size, debris type, and how hands-off you want cleaning to be. Robotic cleaners offer the most convenience and performance, while suction and pressure cleaners are more budget-friendly options.

Do robotic pool cleaners need a pump?

No. Robotic cleaners operate independently using a standard outlet or internal battery, which helps reduce wear on your pool’s pump and filtration system.

Can a pool cleaner handle leaves and fine debris?

Yes, but performance varies by model. Robotic cleaners typically handle both large debris and fine particles, while other types may be better suited for specific debris types.

Do pool cleaners clean walls and waterlines?

Some do and some don’t. Many robotic cleaners can clean floors, walls, and waterlines, while suction and pressure cleaners typically focus on the pool floor and partial wall coverage.

Are pool cleaners hard to maintain?

Most cleaners are easy to maintain. Robotic cleaners usually have removable filter baskets that can be quickly rinsed, while suction and pressure cleaners may require occasional system maintenance.

Will a pool cleaner increase my energy costs?

Robotic cleaners are energy-efficient and operate independently, while suction and pressure cleaners rely on your pool pump, which may increase energy usage during cleaning cycles.

Can I use a pool cleaner in an above ground pool?

Yes. Many cleaners are designed specifically for above ground pools, including robotic and suction models that work efficiently with smaller pool sizes.
