In an automatic pool cleaner motivated by flow of water therethrough established by the pumping action of a remote pump, the cleaner including a turbine housing forming a water-flow chamber defining a flow-path cross-section and having flow inlet and outlet ports for debris-laden water flow through the chamber, the turbine including (a) a rotor having an axis and (b) at least one vane connected with respect to the rotor at a proximal vane edge, the vane extending from the proximal vane edge to a distal vane edge and forming a vane profile with opposed lateral edges extending between the proximal and distal edges, the vane edges defining a vane profile in the flow-path cross-section, the improvement comprising the vane profile being configured such that the flow-path cross-section includes a lateral open region adjacent to at least one of the lateral edges of the vane, thereby permitting unobstructed water flow beside the vane lateral edges to facilitate debris-removing efficiency of the cleaner.
