Robotic Cleaners:
A good Robotic cleaner with all the bells and whistles will usually run you over $1,500. It is quite an investment, but you get a good investment return. Today's robotic cleaners are much improved over the 1st generation, which came out a few years ago. The motors are more reliable and longer lasting; they can now clean the walls and tile line, and there are added features like a programmable cleaning cycle, remote control, and an anti-tangle cord swivel.

There are now cordless cleaners from significant manufacturers like Polaris and Dolphin. The cordless cleaners eliminate the cord, and I think the future of robotic pool cleaners will be the cordless type.

Most higher-end Robotic cleaners come with a two or 3-year warranty. They are well built and reliable, and the manufacturer can offer a longer warranty since you will unlikely have to use them.

Some of the benefits of a Robotic Cleaner are:

It runs independently from your pool system, so your filtration system stays cleaner, and it doesn't matter if your equipment is old or not functioning well.

There are no hoses to worry about, and once you
You can remove the Robotic cleaner and store it after cleaning the pool.

They clean the pool very well in most cases -the more expensive models will even clean the tile
line.

The negative factors are a high price point in most cases and the need to send it out for service versus fixing any problems yourself. Most now come with at least a two-year warranty, so that is not a deal breaker. They are highly reliable and effective pool cleaners.

Suction Side Cleaners:
This is the most familiar and most popular type of cleaner to most consumers. A suction cleaner works off your pool's existing pump and is attached to the skimmer or a side/ vacuum port in your pool. Depending on the pool and type of debris, this can be the most effective and cost-effective cleaner type for you. Most suction-side cleaners retail for $400 or less.

The suction side cleaner is the most popular on my pool route as they are affordable and effective, and there are many different models to choose from. In most cases, I suggest an excellent suction side cleaner since they are also easy to set up and repair when something breaks.
