Robotic pool cleaners are an especially good choice for cleaning an inground pool. 

Older pump-driven pool cleaners often cannot reach the custom-molded steps, raised sitting platforms and irregular features that many inground pools have. This means you’re left to brush and clean those sections yourself.

The units above do this – and more.
