    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 gave it 4 starts because it worked excellent the first and only time I've used it so ... I gave it 4 starts because it worked excellent the first and only time I've used it so far. 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 .

    Adequate cleaner . . .durability? Once this cleaner is set up it scoots around the pool rather well, however the rotating paddles are rather far off the pool surface as is the suction intake so that it often misses debris. In addition, the dedicated nature of the hose means that you can't use it for double duty when you vacuum (it won't fit the vacuum nozzle). I'm not sure how long the rubber tractor treads will last considering that it runs nearly 8 hours/day. I've been a Barracuda user for years and was looking for somethi... read more

    Best pool cleaner so far I have had many pool cleaners. Kreepy's, ATV's, Baracuda's, to name a few. All last only a couple of years. Parts wear out, gears break, the sun rots the plastic or the pool guy destroys it somehow. My last one (Polarius ATV) was discontinued. When it died I decided upon this version from Baracuda. I have had it five months now and so far I have been very satisfied. It is very quiet, gives good pool coverage and climbs the sides to the water line. Its underside seems a little fragile so I had a talk ... read more

    Best I have used thus far I have had 3 Polaris with booster pump, ( these break in some fashion yearly ), the T2 ( works greats but inconvenient to leave in the pool when no specific plans call for the pool to be cleaned), and now this. This is the best for just leaving in the pool and letting it do it's thing while the pool is not in use and then it's ready when you need it since it just runs on the normal filtration cycle. The only caveat is if you have a low flow variable speed pump, ( which I do for electricity savings),... read more
