Although automatic pool vacuums tend to be more expensive than other pool vacuum types, they’re usually more effective at removing large and small debris. They also are good at circulating pool water when a filter isn’t in operation and scrubbing tile lines and pool walls. Those are reasons enough to consider these top-notch automatic pool vacuums.

Propelled by wheels or tracks, an automatic pool vacuum is designed to suck and gather debris from a pool. They typically sport filters that circulate clean water back into a pool. Most robotic pool vacuums also sport rotating brushes to dislodge and remove stubborn dirt and debris. These leading automatic pool vacuums cover those bases well and are highly effective to boot.
