Abstract: An automatic pool/spa cleaner with a wall docking feature is provided. The cleaner includes a housing, a removable debris canister, a plurality of traction wheels, and an exhaust port. After completion of a cleaning cycle, the cleaner travels upward along a wall of the pool or spa to a position where at least a portion of the canister is positioned above the water line of the pool or spa, and remains in that position in order to allow an operator to detach and empty the debris canister without requiring the cleaner to be removed from the pool or spa. A cable retention system also provides for automatic supply, tensioning, and reeling in a of power and/or communications cable associated with the cleaner. A “touch-free” debris basket allows for insertion/removal of a debris basket through a passageway of the cable retention system.
