Zodiac MX8 Suction Side Pool Cleaner
About this business
Do not buy terrible vac and design look elsewhere Product does not work spent hours adjusting valve settings pump settings, etc. unit wheels do not activate. As soon as I get enough suction to move the gear assembly the pressure relief valve on the swivel head hose attachment trips and unit stop functioning. I would return it but Amazon left the package in front yard during a monsoon storm and packaging was destroyed by the time I got home to retrieve it. Stuck with a useless hunk of plastic.
Defective product returned - 100% restocking fee The included hoses are brittle plastic and split under normal use within days. No abuse, no overtightening - just routine setup and operation. Once the hoses failed, the cleaner was unusable. Returned and charged a 100% restocking fee! Beware of both product and seller.
Keeps getting jammed and parts wear out quickly. Not happy with this cleaner. Had it about two years so now out of warranty. We’ve had it replaced twice because it stopped working. In addition, parts have been replaced to keep it working. Fortunately the warranty has been honored so the repairs and replacements didn’t cost us anything. Now the warranty has just expired it isn’t working again so time for something different…
False claims by Manufacturer There is absolutely NO way that this suction cleaner will climb walls.Manufacturer claims are FALSE. It claims that this is a low flow cleaner but the only way this cleaner moves for most pools with 1.5 inch plumbing (1.5in suction skimmers & 1.5 inch main drain) is to turn off the main drain suction feed AND max out the speed on your variable speed pump. Increasing RPM on variable speed pump to max to make the cleaner work defeats the purpose of having a variable speed pump for efficiency and wi... read more
Constant headache This thing is not reliable. I’ve owned it for less than 3 years and already had to purchase an internal rebuild kit and change tire tracks.. now it has stopped working again. When you try to reach support- good luck. The number is closed after trying to get through a never ending phone tree. Buy another product.
Total failure at 6 weeks. I bought this pool vacuum on June 12, 2025. Today is July 30, 2025. Initially I thought it was fantastic but a week ago it totally stopped working. It does not move forward, it does not move backward. It's dead at the tender age of 6 weeks. Total failure. I contracted the seller but it's 2 weeks over their return time. They were pleasant but said I needed to contact the company. They provided an 800 number and website for Zodiac. They also warned me that it was difficult to reach someone via phone a... read more
Faulty product MX 8 Zodiac Pool Cleaner This product was bought in March 2025 and I have now had to replace multiple parts. I previously had this pool cleaner and it was very reliable. Amazon Customer Service was awful and not helpful at all.
Not true zodiac product My new mx8 operated well straight from the box. But 2 weeks later began having movement issues. Opened the zodiac to investigate problem found the cleaner engine had broken. Replaced cleaner engine and continued having issues. Brought my zodiac to our local pool equipment store and had them investigate. They found that one of drive engines broke, so replaced both. Pool supply store said that the engines were NOT true zodiac equipment and were from China. Very disappointed.
Do not buy. Do not buy. Stopped working 3 week after installing and conveniently stopped working after it was not able to be returned. Not worth the money. I have had 3 different pool repair guys tell me that they are junk. Not very happy. I would also give this 0 star if it was an option.
