The cheapest way here to get a corded robot on a weekly timer, which means no daily charging or hauling. It is light and simple, but Maytronics does not list waterline scrubbing, there is no app, and it is rated for pools up to 40 ft. Skip it for large or very leafy pools.

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.

Dolphin E10
- Poolbots (retailer review): In their test it cleaned floors reasonably well with an easy basket, but it does not clean walls or the waterline, has no scheduler, tangles easily, and let silt and sand cloud the water. Source
