Summertime is nearly here, and if you're lucky enough to have your own pool, chances are you're already taking advantage of rising temperatures. If you own a pool, we recommend picking up a pool vacuum, which can make life much easier by keeping the pool and its ledges clean all summer long.

Our readers' favorite model is the Dolphin Nautilus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, an impressively powerful vacuum that can climb walls and tackle just about any grime in your area. We see this model fly off the shelves every time we write about it, so grab one while it's still in stock.

Whether you're in the market for a robot pool cleaner or a traditional pool vacuum cleaner, these are the 10 best models you can shop on Amazon right now.

The Dolphin Nautilus is an incredibly popular option on Amazon—and one that our editors vouch for. This model has nearly 13,000 ratings and a 4.5-star rating on Amazon, with shoppers calling it "everything it is marketed to be and more." The Dolphin Nautilus can climb your pool's walls and scrub its floors, providing a complete and deep clean every time it's run. It's not the cheapest option on this list, but it's among the best.

For a more budget-friendly option, look to the Aiper Seagull Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner, available on Amazon for about $300 (though right now, you can apply a $130 coupon, bringing the price down to $170). We checked out this model at CES 2023 and were impressed with its range—it can clean up to 3,200 square feet. It can climb walls and clean your pool's surface.

Hayward makes some of the best pool cleaners out there, so it's no surprise this model is highly rated among Amazon customers. The suction pool cleaner has high-traction tires that allow it to move along walls and floors. It claims it can handle any debris, large or small, and works with any sized pool pump without hassle.

The Polaris Vac-Sweep provides a pressure clean for your pool, using vacuum jets to remove dirt and debris from surfaces. It can scrub walls and floors with its high-powered jets and comes with a debris bag for collecting any sized obstacles it finds.

Hayward is back with another suction-based pool cleaner—the Poolvergnuegen. This model features two wheels and can climb along any pool surface. It can tackle debris stuck in different-sized drains and holds a 4.6-star rating on Amazon after nearly 2,000 reviews.

The Dolphin Premier Robotic Pool Cleaner is the best robotic pool cleaner you can buy. It features wall-climbing capabilities, three filtration options and optional remote control. You can set a weekly cleaning schedule and let it run at its own leisure. It's more expensive than other models, but in our opinion, its features make it well worth it.

Another great wallet-friendly cleaner is the WYBOT Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner. Its cordless design prevents it from getting stuck in its cord while cleaning, but unlike other popular models, it doesn't climb your pool's walls. It's user-friendly and easy to clean, but you won't get the bells and whistles other models provide.

The Intex is another pool cleaner that won't provide a wide range of fancy features, but it's just north of $100 and cleans walls and floors. However, it only works with in-ground pools with 1.5-inch fittings, so make sure your pool is compatible before purchasing. If it is compatible, this is an excellent value purchase, able to tackle fine debris and keep your water shining all summer long.

The Pool Blaster does exactly as advertised—it suctions debris from your pool and ledge area. It's not going to climb in your pool on its own, but it does feature handles that allow you to tackle any debris you spot. We liked that it was cordless and featured attachments, and we were impressed with the size of the debris it could pick up.

Amazon reviewers love the Zodiac Inground Pool Cleaner—they give it 4.4 stars after more than 5,500 reviews. This pool cleaner is affordable and offers convenient cleaning. "It probably won't pick up any larger debris, like sunken leaves, but it will automatically skim along your pool floor and vacuum up most dirt and such," our testers found.
