Who wants to spend time scrubbing the bottom of a pool and scooping out leaves and dirt before you can finally take a dip? A pool cleaner that does all the dirty work for you surely seems like a better idea. Our experts test and review a selection of pool cleaners from brands like Baracuda, Kreepy Krauly, Zodiac, Pentair and more to help you find the best performers.

Our test results will tell you which pool cleaners:

• are best at picking up debris from your pool
• experience no or minimal blockages and stoppages during cleaning
• are easiest to use
• are suitable for your pool type.
