Best Automatic Pool Cleaners for Inground & Above Ground Pools

Stop spending your weekends vacuuming — let an automatic pool cleaner do it for you. From fully autonomous robotic cleaners that operate independently of your filtration system, to reliable suction-side workhorses that run off your existing pump, PST Pool Supplies carries the best models from Hayward and Poolvergnuegen for every pool type, size, and budget — from $298 to $1,618.

For the most thorough, hands-free clean, our robotic pool cleaners lead the lineup. The Hayward TigerShark QC tackles floors, walls, and waterlines in a single cycle with a built-in cartridge filter that captures fine debris without taxing your pool's filtration system. The SharkVac and PoolCleaner R110 bring the same autonomous performance to smaller inground and above ground pools. For above ground pools specifically, the Hayward Wanda the Whale and AquaBug provide reliable, no-fuss suction-side cleaning without the complexity of a separate booster pump — ideal first cleaners for straightforward above ground setups. Browse our full range of pool cleaner replacement parts to keep any model running at peak performance. Learn more about Hayward's cleaner technology at Hayward's official cleaner hub.

Suction-side cleaners like the Hayward AquaNaut 400 (4-wheel) and PoolCleaner 4-Wheel offer exceptional value — they connect directly to your skimmer or dedicated suction line and cover pools up to 20x40 ft with programmable steering and randomized navigation patterns that eliminate missed spots. The Navigator Pro (available in vinyl and gunite versions) is specifically designed for the surface type of your pool. All suction cleaners in this collection work with both variable-speed and single-speed pumps, and require no additional power source beyond your existing pump. The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals recommends running an automatic cleaner 2–3 times per week for optimal water clarity. Pair with our pressure side cleaner collection if your pool has a dedicated booster pump line.

Shop the best automatic pool cleaners and take manual vacuuming off your to-do list — for inground pools, above ground pools, and everything in between.
