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.

which automatic pool vacuum is best?

I want to buy an automatic pool vacuum. I was told there are 3 kinds: suction side, pressure side and robotic. Which of these works best and which is easiest to use? Also, what is a good brand/model and good price?

Answer
In my experience the best type of vacuums are suction side. You should consider a Polaris ATV. It can climb walls and has a bag for the bigger debris so it won't clog up your pipes or filter.

There's a good article on the following website about the different types of automatic vacuums...
