If your pool’s primary issue is fine sand and silt or pollen, the Ecovacs Ultramarine P1 is my budget pick with a very effective secondary floss filter, great waterline cleaning that reached over 3” out of the water, and the ability to climb onto very shallow ledges. But as I mentioned earlier, I am slightly concerned that it would climb out of the pool if given the chance, and the filter basket on the Ultramarine is extremely small, so it’s not a great option for pools that get a lot of leaf litter.
