## Verdict

A low cost way to keep a flat above-ground pool floor clean without a booster pump or charging. It does not climb walls, has no timer, and its short cycle means big jobs need restarts. Buy it for floor debris in a small above-ground pool, not for walls or silt.

- Easy top load basket

## Cons

- Floor only cleaning
