Looking to spend less then 400.00… if that’s possible.

Any recommendations on a pool vacuum? I don’t need Wi-Fi or anything crazy cool. My pool is a gunite pool with pebble tech. Doesn’t need to be electric either, I’m new to this. I have a salt water pool 12x26
 
No robots (electric) at that price point. Even suction and/or pressure cleaners typically start at $450 and above. Need to know more about your pool and equipment to make suggestions. Please creature a signature with your pool details and post some pictures or descriptions of your pool plumbing.

I've heard the Aiper Orca 800 does well, $336.

Website seems to indicate it’s meant for above ground pools. The specs give a 30° max inclination. My guess is that it probably wouldn’t work well in an inground gunit pool.

We’ll it’s a gunnite pool with pebble tech finish, has a half sun deck with 2 steps, 12x26. 4.9ft in the center then goes to 2.5 foot each side. It’s “sports” style pool for volleyball . Square in shape.

Motor is a Jandy variable speed pump with a Jandy salt cell/chlorinator.
 
If 40' cord is long enough, and you only want floor cleaning, should be ok. I'm considering it for 13x32 pebbletech in ground. Not sure if I like the basket method though.

Looks like the Aiper might work for you. Can't really recommend them as they are the "new kid" on the block and there's not a lot of real user feedback yet. You can also look at the Dolphin line of robots and try to go for lowest end model there, like an E10. You can also give Marinas Spa and Patio a call (they're in Colorado) and try to grab Margaret or Seth on the phone to see what they would recommend.

Good luck.
