Zodiac MX8 Suction Side Pool Cleaner
About this business
Much better than Hayward Navigator When we bought our current house the pool came with a Hayward Navigator that didn't work very well, even after I had it serviced. After reading many reviews I decided to try the Barracuda MX8 and am very pleased: it's not quite perfect but close enough to earn five stars. The two things I like most are (1) it doesn't get stuck on the pool drain, and (2) when set correctly it climbs the pool walls to keep those clean. It does struggle a little in corners because it's so wide, but it manages ... read more
Love it I bought the MX8 a few weeks ago and was nervous about some of the negative reviews but I'm extremely happy with the purchase. The last cleaner (Hayward KingRay) worked ok but the MX8 works amazingly well. I am able to reduce the daily cleaning duration by almost half. It also goes up the walls well (I didn't use the included float and I put the suction to almost 4 on the included calibration tool). It does not get the stairs much but that is a small price to pay for not having to unstick it. It has not gotten stuck ... read more
Works very well I am happy with my Baracuda MX8. It cleans my entire pool in just a few hours. The setup wasn't too back, all that is required is for you to decide if you will plug it into the skimmer inlet or use a dedicated cleaning input. It climbs the walls as advertised. For the price they should include a leaf catcher to heal keep my pumps mini-basket clear but what can you do.Two things are keeping me from giving the product a 5 out of 5. 1) The absence of a scrubber to remove algae 2) A better flow regulator, the cur... read more
Great pool cleaner I gave 5 stars, because i have never owned pool cleaner before, this is my 1st one and nothing to compare with and i'm very happy (my neighbor and friends use Kreepy Krauly), but i like this machine better. I used to hire the pool cleaning service for 12 years and i finally got rid of my pool guy. This little maching does much better than the pool guy, because pool guy come in just once an week and couple days after he left, pool turn to collect dust and leaves. With this cleaner, my pool gets vaccumed eve... read more
MX8 Excellent pool cleaner In the past 20 years we have had 2 homes each with an in ground pool. The pools are about 120 perimeter with a pebble tech surface. Until recently we have used Hayward/Arnison Navigator pool vacs. Living in Arizona our pools and pool cleaners get a lot of year round use. This review compares the MX8 to the Navigator.* Both the MX8 and Navigator are very good pool cleaners. They both do what they are intended to do well.* Suction - Both require similar amount of suction to operate.* Cleaning path an... read more
MX 8 is great This is my first pool cleaner purchase and did a considerable amount of research before buying. I was concerned based upon some of the reviews suggesting that the manufacturing of the unit was suspect. I am happy to report that is not the case! I have used the cleaner twice a week since purchasing and it is doing a FANTASTIC job. Any concerns of performance MUST be because the end user did not read the instructions to ensure the pump suction was set properly. Too little suction and the unit sits idle. Too much ... read more

Could the advertising be wrong? The advertising inferred that if you have a few leaves in the bottom of your pool they would not stop this cleaner, it was a matter of a quick internal adjustment and all is well. Nuh! One leaf (rose bush size) will do the trick and it does not have to be a leaf. Palm string, cotton off swim attire - you name it. Inside this gizzmo is a rather complex system when compared to the usual Kreepy Krawly style. Inside, fan shaped platic blades turn etc etc - the leaf gets around the blade and that i... read more
Baracuda MX 8 This is my first pool vacuum, so rating high as it does work. One of the hoses shipped was cracked. Not sure who to contact to replace it. Seems to run okay, but doesn't climb over and up steps. Got more instructuions on how to set up the suction properly from my Leslie's Pool guy than the actual instructions to get the mx8 to start moving. The video ads show the mx8 moving much faster.
