Okay, pool pros ... I need your help! Here's my list of needs for a pool cleaner (must be compatible with an IG, vinyl pool), in order of importance:
1) Durable. I don't want something that might break in two years. This is an investment for me, so I want it to last. That said, I won't be leaving it in the pool 24/7, I will be checking it occasionally as it runs, and I will take good care of it.
2) Capable of filtering pollen, and picking up multiple leaves.
3) Easy to use. I like the drop-in-and-go idea.
4) Under $1000, ideally under $700. But, I'm okay with brushing the sides and steps, so it doesn't need to climb walls (but it does need to climb up the steep slope from deep to shallow end).
Any ideas?
