A proven corded cleaner for in-ground pools that get leaves, with a weekly timer and filter options from a big leaf bag to fine cartridges. It has no app and weighs about 20 lb dry. Maytronics showed it as unavailable on its own store when checked, so expect to buy from a dealer.
Best for: leafy in-ground pools. Skip if: you want app control.
