So far I’d give it 4.5/5 for its cleaning ability. After using it for a month, the scrubbing fins have already warped and remain curved. It could easily go to 5/5 if the part stand the test of time 👍 

Business response:

Thanks for choosing the Zodiac MX8 Elite Suction Cleaner, Patrick! Your trust and satisfaction are our top priorities. We'd like to allay any worries about the scrubbers. They are fine, despite appearances. They're designed to lay over like that. The brush part should last about a year or more, depending on the surface of your pool. All the best, Your Zodiac Team

This pool cleaner does not clean our pool. It barely moves and does not seem too pick up any dirt that is just sitting at the bottom of the pool. 

Business response:

Hi Corina, Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the poor performance of your Zodiac MX8 Elite Suction Cleaner! We have some suggestions to check: 1. Confirm that the main drain is closed. 2. Check wheel speed to verify proper flow. Refer to section, "Check for Proper Flow" in the Owner's Manual. 3. Check to see if any interior teeth of the tracks are worn. If so, contact your dealer for replacement tracks. 4. Backwash filter and empty pump basket. 5. Check for debris jammed in engine. Refer to section, "Rem... read more

Struggling with long leaves from my palm tree, long twigs get jammed inside and the Zodiac just stops working. Is there no attachment that can prevent it sucking up the large debris? Never had this issue with the simple cheep cleaners. 

Business response:

Hi Robert, Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to hear the MX8 is getting jammed with the large debris in your pool. We recommend removing the yellow inlet adapter at the bottom of the cleaner. Here’s a quick video that explains this conversion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtEI5Qex868&list=PL3Fq80t74vvnplqTq7JyeS_Z6OWblJRX9&index=16 Swim on!

I purchased the MX8 Elite on the recommendation of the company that recently refinished my pool which is about 8,000 gallons. The problem for me is I think this unit is intended for large pools with higher horsepower motors rather than my size (1.65 hp). I suggest that Zodiac make pool size and pump horsepower recommendations for its units. My pump has to be turned up to its maximum rpm to barely meet the minimum requirement of this cleaner. It's a well made unit but I wish I purchase the MX6 instead. 

Business response:

Hello Peter, Your satisfaction is a top priority for us, and we want to ensure you're equipped with the best cleaner for your pool needs. We will have a technical support representative reach out to you. All the Best, Zodiac Pool Systems

When I reviewed many comments about this cleaner plus a recommendation from a pool company repair specialist I thought this product would clean my entire 13,000 gal pool kidney shaped. The texture of the pool is glass beads. This product does not climb the walls to the surface. I’ll live with it but at the cost I was hopefully it would do the entire surface. My pool is salt water and has a new variable speed Pentair pump. 

Business response:

Hello Neil. Thank you for your feedback. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us, and nothing less than the perfect pool experience will do. We want to help troubleshoot your MX8 Elite, and we will have a technical support representative reach out to you. All the Best, Zodiac Pool Systems
