Regarding pool cleaners, the unfortunate fact is that only the pressure side cleaners and the robotic cleaners perform well MOST of the time. As best I can tell, the best record any other type of cleaner can boast is that they work well for more than 1/2 of their users.
BUT . . . robotic cleaners do well ONLY in light load situations, like indoor pools, or out west. In the east, where there tends to be lots of storm debris, pollen, and bugs . . . they don't do so well.
AND . . . pressure side cleaners with a booster pump have to have a built-in line.
Pressure side cleaners, that run off of the pool pump, may, or may not, work depending on a variety of factors. If you want to have a good chance of success, you MUST read the manual first, and test your pool, to see if it will work for you.
Polaris has been at this longer, and more successfully, than any other company. So far as I can tell, their purchase a few years back by Zodiac has not resulted in a product quality decline of their core products, pool cleaners. So, I'd look there first.
