Zodiac MX8 Suction Side Pool Cleaner
About this business
Better than the Barracuda G3 by far I had 2 barracuda G3's before this. They were a poor comparison to the MX8. To give context of where the MX8 will shine and where it will not.Bad: small flat pools, large (oak or maple) size leaves. Overkill for small pools, and big leaves can choke it.Good: Large pools. I am using it with a 25,000 gallon 9ft diving pool. The barracuda would never go to the shallow end because of a steep incline and "hose memory" issues. The mx8 goes EVERYwhere and can climb. It won't do steps, but no pool... read more
Works So far it’s been about almost a year and I have to say it works flawlessly. I must say one negative about it and that is it doesn’t like large leaves, I don’t have any trees to speak of but my neighbor does and some of the leaves land in my yard. This isn’t a huge problem just clean it out and drop it back in and away it goes. Keep some extra tracks on hand as they do wear out about every 4 months but they are relatively cheap and very easy to change. All in all it’s a great product.
Keep an eye on it Sometimes product just stops moving. Have to get out of pool and turn blades to get unstuck. Will hear a click when doing this. Yes, plenty of suction and wheel rotation when moving. I have yet to see it climb up and do my stairs although it days go up my walls after it’s been running for a while. Can’t leave it or have to check on because it stops moving. Also, product must be directly over debris to suck in. Will not draw in debris outside of that. Be patient with it because it’s pattern is all over and m... read more
The first cleaning floored me. Like a new pool Be mindful that my review is just the first day. I will write again in a couple of months to discuss the longevity of the vacuum.I really like how easy this was toPut together. Being a new pool owner I was worried about what to buy. After reading several reviews and then seeing it for myself.. we bought the right one. Cleaned our messy, dirty pool in one day.Going to put it away now and clean the pool every 3-4 weeks now. So simple to use.
Meh It vacuums decently, I even had a professional come install and I have new equipment all as of 2020. The tracks wear out FAST and you need them for it to honestly work at all. Clearly. Anyways, the rotating teeth underneath slightly fight each other with water currents making it miss medium size leaves and up. It doesn't do the chopping motion you would assume. The horizonal wheel in the middle spinning perpendicular to the bottom teeth really just clog the vacuum up if it gets into more than light leaves. Even if too mu... read more
Work horse We have a pool with steps that are in corners of the pool and this is a sweep that does not get stuck in the corners. It will turn and re-position itself to continue the job that it was intended to do. This is a more expensive unit than the many other sweeps that I have tried but it is the last one that I will need to try. It makes the rounds in the pool and keeps the dirt out, the pool looks clean all of the time. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a really reliable pool sweep. Mine has been in us... read more
Eh...not so great. While I suppose this does a decent enough job I found it extremely cumbersome and awkward. I had to turn 2 of my skimmers off and it went into the 3rd skimmer. I should admit I went from an extremely easy Polaris with a dedicated line to this. The Polaris I would leave in the pool when not in use. No way could I do this. I gave it 3 hours and there was still debris in my deep end. I returned it and exchanged it for a dolphin robot pool cleaner which is amazing. My 40’ pool was cleaned in 90 minutes.
Suction My pool as two skimmers and a dedicated port for a cleaner. With the standard Baracuda - G3 Advanced Suction Side Automatic Pool Cleaner application this worked fine. However this unit requires 1/2 of the available suction provided by the pump instead of the 1/3 the other unit operated on. I have to disable one of the skimmers in order to effectively operate the unit. I do like the unit and it does all the way up to the water line but I hate losing one skimmer.
Great Cleaner This thing works great. Easy set up and started plowing away right out of the box. My pool is now spotless 24/7, as I simply leave it running all the time. Cleans right up to the water line, and usually makes it up onto my steps and benches, as well. Excellent value.Update. The clip that holds a wheel fell off, causing the wheel and tread to fall off. Sellers response? Call the manufacturer. So I’m taking stars off for crap customer service. Such a simple issue, and they do not care.
