I am looking for suggestions on a great automatic pool cleaner. I need one that does the side walls and not just the floor. My pool also has 3 benches and a safety ledge all the way around. Thank you.

Can you give us more details about the ledge? How deep is the water, how wide is it, etc. Robots need to be completely submerged in order to work. Folks have had varying luck with them getting onto ledges, steps, etc.
My Doheny's Discovery climbs up my fiberglass wall, over the little safety ledge and also up two of the four stairs. Once it gets up to the third stair it sucks air and goes back down the steps. We just brush those steps when necessary to brush debris down to the floor of the pool so "Sheldon" can get it.
I doubt any will do a tanning shelf.

The ledge is a safety ledge about 5-6" wide, the widest part of the pool is 16', the shallowest part is 3 1/2 feet and the deepest is 5 1/2 feet.
Thank you Maddie.

The ledge is a safety ledge about 5-6" wide almost all the way around. The shallowest part is 3'6" and the deepest is 5'9". The widest part of the pool is 16'. Thank you for any suggestions you can give me.

Do you by chance have any benches as well that it cleans? I was leaning towards a Kreepy Krauly or a Tiger Shark but if the Doheny Discovery works for all the areas that I need (which it sounds like), I will probably buy one. Thank you for your help.

No, sorry... no benches in my pool. I would just do for them as I do for those top two steps- brush anything down to the floor and let the cleaner go from there.

Thank you. How long have you had your Doheny Discovery? Also do you have to knock the dirt off the safety ledge or does it actually clean that for you? Thank you for all the help. Have a great day!
I get very little schmutz on my ledge but considering the way it crawls up that wall, and the degree of suction it has, I'm pretty confident it takes care of it.
As previously mentioned, it can't do my top two stairs or any area that doesn't keep the robot mostly submerged in water. We've had it for just a couple of months now.
