The Best Above Ground Pool Vacuums

This year, I said, “Forget the manual vacuum,” and went all in on a robotic pool cleaner. After researching and testing a few, I thought I’d share what I found in case anyone else is looking. Here’s the rundown:

1. Aiper Scuba S1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner

This one’s a beast! I was surprised at how well it worked—got into all the tight spots and scrubbed the walls too. The app’s really easy to use; you can schedule it and keep track of its progress. Only thing is, it’s a little pricey, but it’s got the power to back it up if you’re willing to spend a bit.

2. Dolphin (2024 Model) E10 Automatic Robotic Pool Cleaner

If you’re on a budget, WYBOT is a good option. It does a decent job cleaning the bottom of the pool and is lightweight, making it easy to move around. It’s not as powerful as some of the others, though, and it did get stuck a few times.

3. WYBOT Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner

If you’re on a budget, WYBOT is a good option. It does a decent job cleaning the bottom of the pool and is lightweight, making it easy to move around. It’s not as powerful as some of the others, though, and it did get stuck a few times.

4. Bubot 300P Robotic Pool Cleaner

Another budget-friendly choice here. It’s quiet, gets the job done, and has a filter basket that’s easy to clean out. It doesn’t have extras like app control or wall climbing, but if you’re looking to save, it’s not bad.

Robotic pool cleaners are a game-changer for real! They’ve saved me a ton of time, and my pool’s never looked better. For top cleaning and wall scrubbing, the Aiper Scuba S1 is my top pick. But if you’re on a tighter budget, the WYBOT or Bubot are good alternatives—just know you might give up a little power. Hope this helps anyone looking to step up their pool game!
