Looks like this: http://www.wards.com/wards/assets/product_images/27133_f.jpg
Is it supposed to move in the obvious forward direction, as if the hose were connected to the handle of a push broom, or the backward direction, crawling toward its own handle?
Mine moves backward, which I find counterintuitive, and I've asked at several pool stores and each time received a "duhhhh I don't know" answer. Please answer if you have one like this and have actually seen it move!

Hi,
This Automatic pool cleaner moves backwards
just like all the others of this type of design.
I know it may seem weird but this is how
they all work.
Take care,

I'm looking to buy an automatic pool cleaner for an in-ground pool. Any suggestions on best brand and type?

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.
