I don’t like the look of a cleaner left in the pool. I love the fact that, instead of vacuuming and brushing the pool, I can just toss Kokopelli (my robot) in for two hours. He will vacuum and scrub the pool right up to the waterline. It then takes 5 min of my time to properly coil the cord (over & under) and put it back on its cart. This process takes very little time and effort and is repeated every few days as needed.
What I never liked about a suction side cleaner was that, in addition to doing a lousy job of cleaning, it also spoils the look of the pool. If you use a leaf canister to strain out the debris, that takes more time and effort than a robot. I’m not lazy enough to leave a cleaner in, if it’s only needed once every few days, and only needs 5 min of my time.
