Great pool vac.
This is my 3rd G series Barracuda pool vac in 35 years. They have all worked very well and kept the pool free from debris. The bottom fin and the diaphragm generally need replaced ($25.00-$30.00) after 3-4 years, but otherwise trouble free. No cleaning hassles,

Thus far is Ok, but not sure for the value of it yet.
I purchased this product exactly 1 year ago (july 21). To replace my kreepy crawly I had for 9 years. In the beginning working fine as moved all around the pool and did not get stuck around the steps. Picked all at bottom except for those large leaves and palm twigs. Which is acceptable, but recently, I noticed is moving a lot slower, at time it just does not even move. Now not quite so sure if this is worth it. I also have to increase pump speed in order to make sure it keeps moving 2400+ RPM. This is only 1 year after purchase. I do not use it on a daily bases. I use when I see fine dirt at the bottom of the pool. I have not yet reached out to tech support yet. But wonder if this is going to get worst. Will keep you guys posted.

Tips to make it work great…
I didn’t love this cleaner at first. It was always getting stuck at corners, and miss cleaning a lot of the pool due to staying in the same general track, hugging the edges a lot. I had the suction in the range suggested. However, I got a new pool filter and hadn’t changed the valves to lower the suction at the strainer where I put the hose. It turned out that if I have the suction just a little above the top of the range, just above the 3 on the tester, it now climbs the walls instead of getting stuck! It moves faster too. It still has a tendency to follow a typical track but I use a bungy cord to attach the last 10-15 ft of hose to the end of my pool brush and use paver stones to hold the brush in place. So I anchor the cleaner at mid hose to different parts of the pool and just move it every now and then. This way I get the whole pool cleaned with very little effort. I now love it. I wish the instructions would show troubleshooting. I would have used this a lot more if I just knew I had to increase the suction pressure for it to work a lot better.

Better than expected
Have had every type of pool cleaner over past 30 years. Looking for something functional and cheap. Read all the reviews and had very low expectations. Turns out, it works great and would definitely buy again.

Missed too much of our pool
We used this and it worked fine for 1 day, kind of. Since it’s just powered by suction and the water moving, it only cleaned the same path in our pool, it missed 90% of the pool and got hung up on the ladders every 15 mins. Our pool doesn’t have the best suction, so we ended up going with a Dolphin which has programming and it’s own basket for debris. Not having to hook it up to vacuum is great, just throw it in the water and plug it in

Very little instruction help.
There was 5 times as much printed documentation about the warranty than about how to put the thing together.
Fortunately YouTube exists and there was a plethora of how to assemble and install the Zodiac G3. Verdict?
It works, very well too. It was climbing up the pool wall with no effort. Happy purchase.

Finally! The cleaner I’ve been waiting for
I previously swore by Hayward Navigators because I had success with them before my last one. After having to replace parts and it being very finicky at times, I sought out for a new cleaner and found this Zodiac G3. I have previously tried another creepy crawler cleaner and was very unhappy due to the noise that it made so I was a bit skeptical about buying this one but now I’m glad I did! The cleaner does a fantastic job, easily keeps the walls of my pool clean, doesn’t make much noise, and probably best of all is very limited parts that have to be replaced. My pool is cleaner than ever and I am thankful to finally find a good cleaner that doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg to purchase or maintain!
