POOR QUALITY. Really poor product.The top lid never twist,-locked into place so it would not seal and cause a suction loss in my skimmer. Only upside was they accepted a return of the product with full refund.

Well, it works for a few months..... It was working for a few months like a champ and then the o-ring did not seal anymore the canister. I expect this after a couple of years but not months. Well, I got today a model from the competition for half the price....

Dissapointed, poor design...will not buy again I always wanted one of these, so was very disappointed when it didn't perform well in actual use. The Hayward W560 leaf canister is much better and cheaper! $30-$40. Tip on Hayward: move O-ring to top of canister for easier emptying. Cons of Zodiac: -Paid $50+ -Poor design -Leafs cling to basket and reduce water flow -Must clean often to keep suction to cleaner -Messy to empty and clean -Not worth the money -Can't go on longer vacations worrying it will clog Pros: -Cool spinning... read more

sucks up too much air This thing will flip sometimes and suck up tiny bits of air....so in order for it to work better I have to put it on the bottom part of the hose by the ground sweeper and put the pool filter setting on low.

Hose tangles... My robot just ties knots when I put this in a regular section of hose. It's easy enough to clean but useless without being inline.

IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Save your money! I have a larger size pool that we keep pretty spotless, however, the Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Canister did not do anything for me! I ordered this in June and through a full month, I fought with it everyday! The basket is not big enough to hold anything and it would not stand straight when deployed and the attachments it came with with were shoddy at best. I would not recommend buying this item! Now it has been past the 30-days and with all the headaches and we can't return. Go with a differen... read more
