I used to have a Polaris pool robot that uses its own booster pump pressure to power. Recent winter storm led us to replace our pool pumps as they died and I switched to a variable speed pool pump. With the reduction from 2 pumps to 1, I had to try this suction style pool cleaner robot. I will say this unit is much newer than what I have been using (Polaris 280). Pros is it's compact and easy to install. The setup I purchased has a Cyclone Leaf Canister for cleaning. The upside of this vs the old setup is the fact that I don't need to run 2 pumps, which I can save a bunch of electricity. Downside is as it is suction based, if you are ever pulling the robot out of the water, or cleaning the Cyclone Leaf Canister where the pipes are sucking in air, the air will need to get processed out of the system for the robot to work fine again. Sometimes if there is too much suction (pump running too fast with skimmer / drain valves not dialed in properly), the robot will sometimes craw above the water and suck in air. It does need some fine tuning with suction, such as closing the pool bottom drain valves and possibly closing the other skimmer's flow (if your setup has 2 skimmers). This style of pool robot takes up 1 of the skimmers, so if you only have 1 skimmer, the top of the water will be fairly dirty. Will likely need to pair this robot with a separate surface skimmer. Once everything is dialed in, it works great and has a lot less moving parts compared to the Polaris. Overall satisfied with the setup as it cleans fairly well, and paired with a variable pump, it runs 24/7 keeping the bottom of the pool clean.

The vaccum hose is garbage. Each link of the hose allows for air to enter and prime/suction to be lost. They have added a water bleed-in at the dead end of the hose in an effort to alleviate the issue, but it requires that you have an in-ground pool with a built in vaccum line dedicated to nothing BUT vaccuming so that the bleed in can sit IN the water inside the pool wall. I have only one pump and my vaccum connects at my skimmer. The connection it came with only allows for vertical connection. Having the hose go OVER the pool wall rather than through it (becuase the hose is too stiff to turn that hard that quickly) puts too much pressure on the pump to suck water through a hole riddled hose. I bought a 90° transition and over filled the pool to ensure it is submerged fully and at the proper angle... but the skimmer doesn't function as well when things cant float in at the waterline normally (compensating by overfilling). Too low of a waterline just lets more air into the line. I got tired of fighting it so I use a different brand hose that only has TWO ends and doesn't come apart (less transitions means less opportunities to suck in unwanted air). The vaccum itself seemed okay at first, but starting with a fresh new pool made it hard to tell it wasn't working. The vaccum was recommended to me by google and amazon for an above ground pool. It had reviews by people with above ground pools. Above ground pools are never perfect or 100% smooth and this vaccum misses mostly everything. SMALL leaves get caught in the fins inside the machine's system AND the hose before it could ever make it to the leaf filter it came with. Even without leaves to pick up, it misses entire sections of my pool floor becuase it gets caught up or goes around on the smallest bit of uneven ground, wrinkles, slopes. The suction (even with my good hose) isn't enough to suck debree out of the deepest of holes that the vaccum DOES go over despite NOOO bleed in of air (I am talking PERFECT prime! No bubbles or lost suction. My alternate/good hose has given me a bruise when it stuck to me accidentally while trying to hold onto it under water while readjusting things... but that suction cant seem to pull enough to thoroughly clean the uneven floor. Even if my floor WAS 100% smooth, the nice extra wide foam cove I have is not curved enough to let the vaccum climb the walls. And it can't back itself out of the corner from which it often gets stuck. You essentially just can't leave this thing unsupervised... but I bought an automatic vaccum so I could LEAVE and come back in a few hours and see progress. Complete waste. The leaf container? This was a good idea. It is EVERYTHING. It is easy to use, filters put large debree before hitting my good hose, my skimmer filter, my pump filter, or my sand filter. It is the only thing worth a damn and it didn't even come in the same box. Don't buy the vaccum or its hose. Complete waste of money. Seller will not work with you on a return either. I didn't realize it was such a short return or I would have never purchased it knowing I would be going out of town for over a month within mere days of its arrival. They will tell you to speak to someone else becuase the stuff they sell isn't their problem.

Recently switched to the MX6 from a Maytronics Dolphin cleaner and am liking it so far in our 15k gallon in ground pool. Set up was easy and quick although I did have to purchase a couple of additional things to get mine the way I wanted it. First, had to track down 3 more pieces of hose for mine to reach to all corners of the pool (pretty expensive stuff). Second I wanted the MX6 Elite, but couldn't find a local dealer that sold it in my area, so I just ordered the "Zodiac Cyclonic Scrubbing Turbine Assembly" and swapped it out, making mine "Elite". I could only find it for the MX8 so I had to buy 2 of them in a set, but it literally took about 30 seconds to swap out, but I feel like the scrubbers help keep things cleaner in my pool. I like the in-line leaf canister and it's easy to install and clean out. In researching the MX6, I found there are a lot of videos on youtube showing how to set it up and get it dialed in which I'd recommend doing as it helped speed up my setup and understanding of the system considerably. One thing that really drew me to the MX6 was that the unit itself seems pretty simple and the parts are pretty modular and easy to service yourself. Again, found a video online showing all of the main parts that wear out and how to change them. With my old Maytronics electric robot cleaner, the maintenance and service that I could do on my own was pretty limited. I've been taking mine out of the pool pretty regularly and I will say that it's a little cumbersome to put in and out compared to the robot cleaners. I try to be gentle with the hose since it's all twist-lock and haven't had any issues so far. Hoping the hose holds up over time. If not, I may have to just figure out how to adapt a regular pool hose to replace the twist lock which seems do-able since Zodiac seems to have all sorts of hose adapters. Overall I'm pretty happy with the unit so far. Time will tell how it holds up but I'm optimistic about this one.

Okay, so, a little bit about our pool: We live in the high desert, got palms in the neighborhood. Does this replace my regular ‘rounds with my pool vacuum? No. Do I still skim with the net? Yes. No I brush the sides? Yes. The unit has an issue with palm fronds, the fronds gets wrapped around the blades and stop the unit from moving. If we have a big windstorm and a lot of palms end up in the pool, I net and vacuum, then I start this running again. I run mine all the time, mostly, and I have noticed a remarkable difference in the pool quality, it does a nice job. For my size pool, I did have to buy extra tubing, and I did get the cyclonic leaf catcher. It does a nice job, a good tool…. better than paying $200 a month for a pool company to stop by once a week!

this is good for basic dirt in your pool and some leaves. also not bad for just running around the bottom and keeping it clean once it is already clean. i also purchased the leaf attachment and that's okay except if leaves get stuck in the actual unit. i added some weights to the leaf attachment so it would float up on the top of the pool and interfere with the unit. a couple of problems to point out: (1) after a year of use the hose that interlocks (which i thought was nice for storage) is falling apart and sections are literally unraveling. at $25-30 a section i'm going to figure out a way to epoxy these sections back together (2) if you have any sort of palm tree around your pool and get any palm strings in your pool this unit will clog and the wheels will stop functioning. it is like putting a piece of string inside. it gets wound around the inside of the unit and i literally have to cut the fronds out with a utility knife for it to move again. to sum up - it's just okay. i will probably use a different hose at some point. down the road i'll likely get a new different unit that doesn't clog (as much).

Great device, I would highly recommend it it.

I don't know why I waited so long to purchase one of these! We have an older pool, Lazy L shaped, and the "Kreepy" we had was getting stuck on the break over from the shallow end into the deep end of the pool. It was causing damage to the pool liner and creating a crater beneath that area. We stopped using it years ago and have been fighting to keep the pool clean ever since. I want my pool to be clean and ready to use anytime we're ready. I purchased the MX6 with the cyclonic canister and I haven't had to vacuum the pool since! It is very easy to use. Just measure out the length of hose you will need, attach the cleaning head, fill the hose with water, and plug it into your dedicated suction line, or into your skimmer. Make sure you have the pump regulated properly and let this thing go to work. It cleans the bottom of the pool and will climb the walls all the way to the water line. A word of warning for those who can not remove their pool ladder from the wall, such as myself. It will manage to get behind the ladder and get stuck. I'm able to keep an eye on it and just go free it when this happens, which isn't that often. It's not a deal breaker for sure. Another thing to address is the cyclonic canister. You will want to place something beneath it to catch any debris that starts coming out when you remove it from the suction line. Not a big deal. Just grab a bowl, or something the canister will sit in, and then disconnect it from the suction. I use a plastic tote that also works as a place for people to rinse their feet. I did add weights to the hose, since I'm also running a Betta SE Plus. The hose stays just below the surface most of the time, allowing the Betta to freely pass over it. With both of these items working together, I only have to worry with keeping chlorine tablets in my skimmers, and removing the frogs that like to go swimming every night. The pool is clean and ready when we are. Don't procrastinate like I did for so long. Buy it and save yourself some work and money on your water bill. This was money well spent!
