Abstract
A hand-held, electrically-powered pool cleaner includes a body and a nozzle for suctioning pool water. The body has a filter, an impeller and motor, rechargeable batteries, and a handle for carrying the body and for maneuvering the nozzle along a surface being cleaned the surface. The impeller draws pool water through the nozzle and the filter to remove debris water. A filter housing disposed between the nozzle and the body accumulates the filtered debris. The body optionally includes a pole attachment member to receive the free end of a pole for maneuvering the cleaner from outside of the pool.

A hand-held submersible electrically-powered pool cleaner comprising:
- a nozzle;
- a toroidal body having:
- a carrying handle for carrying manipulating and directing the cleaner during use with the carrying handle being integrally formed from an upper portion of the toroidal body and an opening through the toroidal body;
- impeller means and drive motor, and
- a filter;
- said toroidal body having an intake opening in fluid communication with the nozzle, wherein said impeller means draws pool water through the nozzle and filter to remove dirt and debris from the pool water.
