Answer
You didn't mention your budget. If you're looking to spend 300 dollars or under, then from a service guy's point of view on effectiveness, cost, ease of repair, least things that go wrong with them, it's a Kreepy Krauly, hands down.
Sure Baracudda markets itself as having no moving parts, but the one part that does all the action also wears out on a yearly basis. If you ask me, it's also a moving part, so their literature is pretty misleading.
If you're budget allows spending over a grand, then the Polaris vac sweep 360 or 380 is most certainly the way to go. The only issue here is if your pool currently has a plumbing line going to the pool it can use. Without one, you'll have to go the over deck route, which then is a hose to trip over, lying on the deck. That's the only drawback.
These two cleaners are totally different in their collection and operation. The Kreepy uses suction side plumbing (debris to the pump basket and filter), the Polaris uses pressure side, with it's own booster pump and it's collection is a bag attached to the Polaris head.

can a pool filter enough through surface skimmer suction only?
Karen
I just had the skimmer replaced on my in-ground pool and the repair person left a plug on the hole to the main floor drain, so I am only getting water suctioned from the surface skimmer intake. Is this a common practice or will my pool not filter correctly with out water pulling from the bottom drain and surface skimmer?
Answer
Actually, the best cleaning action is delivered by the skimmer when compared to the main drain.
The reason for this is you get surface cleaning, removal of bugs and floating debris and the up well from greater depths to replace the skimmed water.
If you use a manual vacuum or automatic pool vac you can keep your pool very clean.
You have to inquire with the person who repaired your skimmer to ask about the plug. Was the main drain leaking too?
You're welcome!!
