What automatic pool vacuum works the best?

I want to buy an automatic pool cleaner and researched many. I came to a conclusion to either get a Polaris or Hayward. I saw many Haywards for sale on eBay and they complained that it gets stuck because of the shape of their pool. So now I am looking to get a Polaris 280. Can anyone explain the difference between Polaris 280, 360, 380, and basically all the numbers? I just need a pool vacuum that will do the job without me having to interfere with it.

Answer
Above ground pool or in-ground pool.
If it is an above ground pool, go for the Hayward BUG.
In-ground pool cleaners, I would have to say Hayward or Kreepy .
The fewer working parts the better.
All of these robots can get stuck, in some pools.

Bought an above ground automatic pool vacuum, suction too intense?

I bought a Dirt Devil automatic pool vacuum, hooked it up my hose, and the suction is too intense so it won't move around. Am I doing something wrong? I paid $150 for it and haven't used it once.

Thinking about selling it & getting a robot cleaner instead, but I'm afraid the suction might still be an issue. Help!!
