I have the following right now:
Polaris VRX IQ+ (corded) -- for my main pool, really love it.
WaterTech CX1 (cordless) -- used to be for my main pool, but replaced it with the Polaris for a couple of reasons
I have a small overflow basin (roughly 1600 gallons of water) for my disappearing edge feature. The basin is roughly 3.5' feet wide, 25-30' long, and 3' deep, and it's curved in nature (see attached picture).
This overflow basic basically acts like a giant skimmer. All the Crud from my pool (and there's a lot of it because I'm in the middle of the woods) comes over the disappearing edge and ends up collecting in the floor of the basic (or floating), which means I vacuum out the overflow basic almost daily to keep it clean. I'm tired of vacuuming it so often. I don't want a corded pool cleaner, it -needs- to be cordless.
Since the basin is small, it only probably needs to run 10-15 minutes or so at most to clean the floor (I'd probably empty the filter every 2-3 days). However, there's a couple gotchas that I can't use my WaterTech CX1 cordless in the basin even though I already own it.

- The basin is long and narrow, so the cleaner needs to be able to turn 90 degrees+ easily. (The Watertech ends up staying in one corner of the basin usually because it doesn't seem to turn sharply very easily)
- The basin has two drains in it, so the cleaner needs to be able to get over these drains (The Watertech often gets stuck on those drains)
