Buying Guide
Material Durability
The fabric of your cover determines how long it lasts. Most top picks use 420D or 600D polyester with a waterproof coating. The Aacabo Caddy Cover,Robotic Pool Cleaner Cover uses 420D polyester with a laminated undercoating, while the Pool Robot Cover for Dolphin Pentair Polaris steps up to 600D for extra toughness. Heavier denier fabrics resist tearing and hold up better in wind and sun. If you store your robot outdoors year-round, prioritize 600D or reinforced vinyl like the Dolphin Premium Universal Pool Cleaner Caddy Cover.

Weather Resistance
Waterproofing is essential for outdoor storage. Look for covers with a water-resistant coating or PVC backing. The SELUGOVE Pool Cleaner Caddy Cover uses a special vinyl oil blend to stay flexible and waterproof. Vents are also important: they prevent condensation and mold. The Premium 9991795-R1 Universal Swimming Pool Cleaner includes side air vents for airflow. UV protection is another must for sunny climates; most covers in this list offer it.
If your cleaner uses a power supply, you might need a replacement cable—see our best pool cleaner replacement cable for aiper scuba article.
