Looking for a new Suction Type Cleaner

[jake556]

I currently have a Hayward "The Pool Cleaner" the wheels are deteriorating and Im looking at a replacement. I only run my pump at low speed so would be nice to have one that will still move around well at low speed. Any recommendations? Experience with yours? Pro and Cons? Appreciate the information.

Have you considered a robot? They're a few hundred dollars more than a suction cleaner, but worth it in my opinion. I recently replaced the same suction cleaner model that you have with a $700 Pentair Warrior SE robot. The robot takes more work because you have to wind/unwind the cord and clean the filter basket every few runs, but it does a much more thorough job and you don't have to increase your pump speed while it's running. My Hayward suction cleaner also was constantly getting stuck on my drain covers.

I may go end up going that way just prefer it to run off of the pump right now.
