Zodiac MX8 Elite Suction Cleaner
About this business
Does not work well. Clogs up the skimmer line if there are any leaves in the pool that it picks up. Sometimes it hardly moves if the suction is down as when the line gets clogged or partially clogged. Will not work with skimmer basket in place.

The product does not perform well at all my old pool vacuum cost much less and did a much better job. On top of that the rebate is not a true rebate where a check is sent to you to deposit by a mastercard which had an expiration date and you cannot use the rebate to replenish the account which you planned on with the rebate money a scam in my book.

Spent hours trying to get it to work. Could never get the suction needed for it to propel in our pool; even on the highest setting. Returned it to the store. It was very highly recommended, very disappointed.

We were told by several pool owners that they have had good luck with their Zodiac pool cleaner. Since there was a $125 rebate and a $75 store credit with Pinch a Penny, we decided to give the Elite 8 a try. We are new pool owners and have a larger than normal pool (21x44). We followed the instructions, hooked the hose to our cleaner suction port, fine tuned the adjustments on the valves and let it go. At first I was skeptical. The Elite 8 has no rhyme or reason with its travel. It climbs a wall, turns around, drives a... read more

Will not budge on low speed pump. Requires A LOT of suction. Had to close all other valves and skimmers and still had to increase speed on pump. But, my pool has never looked cleaner. Picks up fine dust, silt, and dead algae that the Polaris just stirs up. You will have to back wash more often but I’m sure you already knew that. None of the attachments fit the hole in my skimmer. I had to modify to make a tight fit.

UGH! HATE IT! Frustrating to use bought MX8 Elite because all the good reviews. Issues: 1. Parts come apart easily that should not, like part "F" in manual, it has no name just part "F", it has components and NO INSTRUCTIONS how to put back together and there are strong springs on the part! I ended up with a big swollen knuckle trying to put this thing somehow back together. 2. Heater does not work due to "low flow" while this is machine is trying to work. 3. DOES NOT CLIMB WALLS! We were excited about this feature, ours sad... read more

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the review of your Zodiac MX8 Elite Suction Cleaner. We'd like to help you with the wall climbing issue. First, verify proper flow by counting the wheel rotations of the cleaner tracks. Next, ensure the hose float is positioned approximately 9" from the cleaner. For more detailed instructions on this as well as installation instructions, refer to the product manual, found here: https://www.zodiacpoolsystems.com:443/en/products/suction/mx8-elite.
