This is the best cleaner we've ever had for our in-ground pool. Our previous cleaner was a Barracuda suction cleaner and for us it was nothing but problem after problem. With the Zodiac MX8 it was very easy to setup and install and it has worked beautifully ever since. It reaches every area of our pool including the tile at the water level. The only area it does not do is the stairs, but that is a small price to pay overall. I would highly recommend this for anyone that wants a truly self-cleaning pool experience.

I can't get this product to climb the walls of my tiled pool despite making the adjustments suggested by the support team. The first question I was asked when I called for support was whether my pool bottom was sloped. So it seems like perhaps this product was made for sloped pools, and not pools with straight sides. While product seems well made, it did not perform as advertised and not as expected. It spends a lot of time at the walls trying to climb the wall, but failing to do so. Disappointment, for a fair bit of money.

I have had a couple different suction pool cleaners. When I bought the house the pool had a barracuda G3 and it worked ok but would get stuck from time to time. I bought a G3 knockoff and it was terrible. So I decided to spend the extra money and get the MX8 and it has been worth it. It works great at all my pump speeds so there is no need to change the regular variable pump schedule plus it gets to areas that would build up that the other cleaner would not get. It's worth the extra money.

I've only had this cleaner a few days, so it's too early to give it a full rating. It seems to be working and cleaning OK. I did add the new vanes with the cleaner brush on them. That did make a small difference. The MX8 does what I feel is a lot of unnecessary twisting and turning. It does clean the sides of the pool and doesn't seem to get stuck. My one concern is because of all the internal and external moving parts, it may end up being high maintenance, time will tell. Bottom line at this point is just average.

This is a great unit that was easy to set up and works flawlessly. When the pump is on high it will actually climb the vertical wall. (But only on the start-up high cycle). I do wonder how it will be functioning after a couple of years of use as it is made completely of plastic. How much suction will it have after the plastic parts have been spinning together for hours and hours? I did receive the factory rebate of $100 in about 4 weeks. It came in the form of a prepaid debit card which can be a hassle using at times , but I can live with that. The eBay seller (pool-store) was five star service all the way!! I would gladly deal with them again.
