    Has done pretty well so far

    Although I used a pool rake to get the majority of the leaves out of the pool at the beginning of the season, there were a fair number of leaves that needed to be clean out. The MX6 had issues where it kept getting stuck because the internal turbine would get stopped up by a couple of leaves. I did not have this problem with our old Hayward PoolVac. Also, as noted in other reviews, the MX6 does not deal with stringy debris like long needle pine straw very well. Once I got the pool to be virtually leaf-free, the cleaner has been doing a good job and the turbine has only gotten stuck one time. So far it seems like it does pretty well and the cost was reasonable.

    Pool cleaner

    I gave it three stars only because this pool cleaner is very sluggish... I did every adjustment necessary to increase momentum but no avail.. it doesn’t climb walls it gets stuck on the drains it goes so slow I sometimes I think it’s going in reverse and on top of all that it goes to the corner of the pool and stays stuck there until I move it... it’s a awesome looking design but that’s all , i had no luck with it I would not recommend this pool cleaner,sadly to say.

  • Does It's Job

    I've had this things Big Brother (MX8) for several years now and can easily say, when it's working, it does a great job. I find some of the parts wear out over a year or two but found them relatively cheap online and learned to replace them myself. These units spend a lot of time in the water, (I've got tree's) so yes, they get a substantial number of workouts. They tend to clog/hang-up when they climb the walls and run into oversized leaves and sticks at the pool edge, but I've learned to manage that. They are not maintenance free and if you have large debris in your pool, you should remove it first or be prepared to clean out the unit, (takes just a few seconds…..but still). You can’t drop these things in the water, regardless of what’s in there, and walk away. But as I’ve said, I’ve learned to manage. For the price, and the amount of work they do, well….I now have two of them.

  • Lightweight, easy to use

    Its pretty simple to assemble and use. could have used 1 more piece of hose, doesn't quite reach far corners. Also have issues with it going up the sides to the top of the water and staying there. Have to physically push it back down in the pool. So I think it just needs more weight in the body. But it IS easy to use!!

  • Zodiac Baracuda MX6 better than the T5

    Low Flow. Still trying to find the sweet spot with the flow rate, but this works better on low flow than others I've owned (Baracuda G3 and T5 & Hayward Navigator). Track system. The MX6 has tracks similar to that on a tank.This design is far better than the diaphragm valve models. I can't tell you how many diaphragms I've replaced over the years, at $40 a piece. Has not gotten stuck. So far, in the past few weeks and used daily, this thing does NOT get stuck on the stairs or in a corner like my old G3 and T5 did. They claim this thing will climb the walls, but I have yet to see that happen. Overall I'm very pleased with the performance. Time will tell how the parts hold up in a chlorine environment and daily use.

  • Impressive Affordable Quality

    For the price the Zodiac MX6 delivered what i was looking for. I needed affordable pool cleaner that would pickup the find debri and scrub the floor and walls of the pool. I didn't know they sold a elite Zodiac MX6 that come with two rubber scrubbers that i needed on my new mx6. I was able to do a little research and found out i could buy the new elite part and it would fit on mine. $29 and one screw it was on and working. The only problem i have is my pump is getting to much air in the line which i can only see the leak is in the reconnecting hoses on the MX6.i figured that shutting off the bottom drains before hooking up MX6 seem to solve most of the problem. It worth the price and quality and i am very happy with my purchase.

  • Good random cleaner

    Great pool cleaner simple with very few problems. A purely random mechanical cleaner - needs a bit more suction applied than models like the KreepyCrawley etc. Very rarely gets stuck. The MX6 is just a bit small for my pool ( 38' x 18' ) needing a bit of extra hose that I had from a previous one, but with that it works well. The previous one lasted about 4 years - there are a lot of parts to wear out but that's pools for you.

  • Installed today.

    Installed it today. Replacing a G3. Takes some tweaking to get to run on variable speed 1.5hp pump but climbs walls better than G3 did. Hasn't got stuck in corners yet either. Bummed that hoses don't work with old hoses but I was aware they wouldn't. Will need to get different leaf catcher to fit twist lock hoses. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I just put it in today. Will update after I run it a while.

  • Has great suction, just keep your filter cleaned out.

    It will climb the vertical walls of your pool. It has great suction and roams all over. The hose is good quality and easy to attach.

  • Not heavy duty

    The hose keeps coming loose. And the strainer connection basket should be included in the package. It’s needed to keep it running efficiently, could not even buy it separately or it costs too much where it’s better to get another or different competitive brand that is more efficient and inexpensive
