The Hayward’s 55 ft cord is gives it substantial reach and it performs strongly on inclines, steps, and walls.

#5 The Poolcleaner 896584000020 4X Suction Pool Cleaner for Concrete Pools

Average Price: $385

From a price standpoint, The Poolcleaner is one of the best. The Poolcleaner brand is owned by Hayward (their TigerShark model is in our #4 spot) and it works on pools without a designated line for suction. It’s best suited for concrete pools and may experience some issues with pools that are lined with vinyl. It can handle almost any type of pool shapes but if you have a very large pool, you may need to purchase extra houses to extend its reach. Click here to shop on Amazon.

#6 Pentair Model GW7900 Automatic Pool Cleaner

Average Price: $364

Another affordable option here. This vacuum follows a specific set pattern ensuring that it doesn’t leave any of those random dirty spots that other vacuums sometimes do. It’s a small size allowing it to be nimble and fit in tight corners. While it’s great for small to medium sized debris, the bigger stuff can give it trouble.
