Best automatic pool cleaners 2022

The base of this cleaner is a 36-inch fin disc, which is designed to stay flat on pool surfaces and prevent the cleaner from getting stuck on pool features like lights or drain covers. This model is suited for in-ground pools, and it works well with lower horsepower pumps thanks to automatic water regulation performed by the FlowKeeper Valve. The included hose is gentle on pool edges and tiles, and won't leave scuff marks. Zodiac has also included an extra diaphragm for the cleaner, so you won't need to spend on spare parts.

Some cleaners can only collect debris on the floor of the pool, but this model can use its dual scrubbers and traction belt to go up walls of in-ground pools up to 50 feet. For a more thorough clean, there is a top-loading cartridge that can filter fine sediment from the water. It even has a weekly scheduler with three different time intervals (every day, every other day, and every third day), which will start the cleaning process automatically.

Your above-ground pool can have a sparkling clean floor in about 1.5 hours with the help of the Dolphin E10. It's energy-efficient and will cost you roughly 5 cents an hour to run—not bad when you consider you have one less chore to do. The filter basket is top-loading, which makes it easy to clean out after a trip around the pool. Everything you need to clean pools up to 30 feet comes with this model, and it does not require any additional pumps.

Have you ever run into an issue with your automatic cleaner where it gets tangled up in its cord and makes cleaning the pool take twice as long? The AIPER SMART Cordless Automatic Pool Cleaner eliminates that problem and can clean pools up to 538 square feet in under an hour. It features super-strong suction, an IPX8 underwater rating, and weighs only 6.6 lbs. It also moves to the side of the pool when the battery is low or a cleaning cycle ends, making it easy to retrieve and charge before the subsequent use.
