    Delighted. When I purchased my house six years ago, it came with an MX8 which was already several years old. This device works great and with minimal maintenance provided you don’t get long narrow debris such as pine needles or palm fronds. The narrow debris can wrap around the axle and interrupt its operation. But it is very simple to service the device occasionally by removing a few screws to access the axle. During those six years, it did start to work less well, but I was able to purchase, at a very reasonable price a re... read more

    This machine is awesome. If you are reading reviews because you are ... This cute robot has saved me countless hours of physical labor and to that I applaud it. My time is very valuable to me and this has saved me so much time. My pool stays very clean. The tracks break up algae buildup on the walls and the vacuum impellers such up debris very well. The leaf canister sold separately picks up dog hair and I have had almost no dog hair in my pools main filter. This machine is awesome. If you are reading reviews because you are... read more

    Come for the cleaning, stay for the floor show One year + Update:I've lowered my rating on this pool sweep after a year of using it. The tractor tread wheels wore out and I needed to replace them after 12 months. $30.Then, the two 'motors' broke at the same time, requiring replacement. $86.Constantly, leaves clog the device, requiring me to fish it out of the pool, undo the eight screws holding the thing together and pluck out whatever clogged it. If it happened once a month, I'd be fine... but now it is every few days.Not t... read more

    This is a great cleaner, I put the cleaner in my pool ... This is a great cleaner, I put the cleaner in my pool over night and by morning it is clean. It picks up small debris, and leaves, but it will stop if a small stick gets stuck in it, all you have to do is remove and it starts going again. If it does get stuck in middle of night the pool won't be clean in the morning but that is just part of cleaning it at night. I also bought the Zodiac CLC500 Cyclonic Automatic Pool Cleaner, it collects all the debris that the cleane... read more

    Decent cleaner with some reservations. This generally works very well. Has no issues scaling the sides of the pool and the separation between this robot and the collection canister (Zodiac Cyclonic Automatic Pool Cleaner Leaf Catcher Canister) is genius. Unlike the old style polaris that carried a small bag around, this works really well. My gripes about this is if you have palm fronds, you may find that the leaves sometimes gets tangled in the gears and the cleaner just stops running.

    Set it up and forget it Bought this as a replacement for the Zodiac MX6 which had worn out. This does a better job of climbing the walls of my in ground fiberglass pool that the smaller MX6 unit. As with the other it takes a while to get the suction set properly for the right speed of the unit. It is best done with two people - one at the pump valves and the other in the water with the unit and a stopwatch. But once this is done it is essentially maintenance free. It will not climb steps - but the entire remainder of the poo... read more

I had surgery and was unable to clean it manually. I'm sure I will use it more often in the near future and it continues to function as it does, I'll update my rating to 5 stars.Definitely recommend this unit, just make sure you follow the instructions.This little jewel will be my wife's new pool boy. I'm very happy each time i use this Zodiac M... read more

    I thought that a track one like this would work better For the considerable price, I expected more. Coming from the use of electric (dolphin) and suction side (hayward and kreepy krawly), I thought that a track one like this would work better. It does work well, and really zooms around the pool. It climbs the walls better than any of the others.I have some quality and longevity concerns though. It worked for about an hour then failed right out of the box, because the internal plastic gears (in the sealed section) jammed up. ... read more

    cleaner walls it works amazingly well . goes where no hayward had gone before. of course i have only had for 1 month , but i enjoy watching work and scrub. the only problem is the refund . unless you spend more than amazon charges , no refund . even though with extras and leaf catchers i spent a lot more . so they lose one star for not refunding me .
