Zodiac MX8 Suction Side Pool Cleaner
About this business
Cant handle even small twigs If all you need is dirt removed and there isn't a tree or a twig within 10 miles, then this is really good. Even the stems from leaves will stop this in its tracks. So disappointed in this because when there are no leaves it's great but one tiny stem can cause havoc when you are gone for a day or two during a dusty heat wave and you discover it has been sitting in one spot doing nothing. Never had such a delicate automatic cleaner. It's too bad our time frame to return this was pretty calm and le... read more
Does well sucking up debris Edit May 2023: Alright in 2022 a year later it started slowing down. We don’t use the pool 6 months out of the year so there was really no reason for it to fail. And it wasn’t running continuously. I bought every single replacement part for that vacuum. Nothing helped it. It finally stopped working September of 2023. Won’t buy this again.Original June 2021: The vaccuum works. I’ve only had it for 2 months but it runs 4/5 hours daily cleaning by pool. I have a lot of debris that falls into the pool... read more
Instructions only become "obvious" after you figure it out. I have tested 4 automatic vacuums. 2 were this style and 2 were $80-$85 Creepy Crawler versions. I'm not sure how to describe them, but they were both far better than either of these $400+ versions. I have returned both of these $400 vacuums.Here are the links to the other 2 I kept.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESQMA8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRJVPGD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1T... read more
PAY ATTENTION TO THE LOW RATINGS!! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT! We were happy with this sweep for about 2 months. Since then (going on 2 years) we have constantly battled to keep the pool clean. It will stop moving as soon as it runs over something big...like a leaf (insert sarcasm). It will stop moving as soon as it comes up against a barrier, like the wall of the pool...which it's supposed to climb. It will stop moving if you look at it wrong. And if it's a Tuesday. I really don't know why it stops moving; but if I drag it a fe... read more
Not worth the money or the time to constantly "fix" the cleaner. Bought this cleaner a little over 6 months ago. We have had several issues with the cleaner since that time. Multiple times the cleaner has completely stopped working, or has required an insane amount of suction from the pump to even move slightly. We have cleaned out the grit that gets into the cleaner each time, but this happens at least once a month. Now the cleaner has quit completely - even after washing out the unit, the motors won't turn. It appears that... read more
Don't waste your money!! The MX-8 is a piece of junk! I did a lot of research on-line before chosing the MX-8. I was replacing a Hayward unit. From the beginning the thing wouldn't work. I followed all the directions and ensured that the suction was set properly. Full disclosure, I have a dedicated vacuum line, single speed pump, a pebble-tec liner, and a cage. It works for about 60 minutes and then the mechanism jams. I have taken it apart, cleaned everything, put it back together, and it will once again work for about 60 m... read more
Did Not Work Well for Me- Perhaps a better more knowledgeable pool owner would have succeeded more. We have a brand new pool. Gunnite/concrete standard surface. This vac works on water flow/suction. IF the water flow is too much, won't work. If too little, won't work. I have a top of the line variable speed Hayward pump. Despite the adjustments, I could not get this thing to run right. I got in the pool with a dive mask and watched it time and again, roll over the same leaf without getting it up. This runs off your existing ... read more
Pebbletec pool with Palms leaves = bad combination I have the Kreepy Krauley Sand Shark which slowly started to not clean so I researched the many suction devices out there and decided on the Baracuda MX8 as the manufacturer claims it works with 50% suction. Living in Arizona my back yard has lots of palms and in the summer times we get our share of palm leafs and other leafs in our pool. The MX 8 has a spinning mechanism (paddles/fins) that all foliage has to pass thru to get captured. The thin palm leafs that would get suc... read more
