In contrast, a robotic or electric cleaner moves freely around your pool and collects dirt and debris into its own filter, which you'll then have to empty. For that reason, they require a bit more setup, and usually involve a few extra hoses - which may be a factor if aesthetics are important to you. Suction or pressure vacuum cleaners hook up to your pool’s skimmer or suction port, and remove more bits of dirt from your pool and pumps it through that system. When deciding between robotic or electric and suction or pressure vacuums, your pool will also come into play. I’ve called out below which vacuums will work for in-ground versus above-ground pools, so pay mind as you shop. Keep in mind that not every pool vacuum will work for every pool, and your pool’s setup and design will dictate what’s right for you. But, in order to ensure you have the best pool vacuum for your pool, consider both your type of pool and size, as well as whether an electric or robotic pool cleaner, or a pressure or suction model that connects to the skimmer in your pool is the best style for you.



To get the job done quickly, a pool vacuum can make the job easier than a basic pool skimmer. With the perks of a pool comes a good amount of cleanup, including pulling up annoying leaves and other debris from the bottom.
