Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner Review

The Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner is a great cleaning solution for both in-ground and above-ground pools, and it can even climb walls, saving you cleaning time and effort.


Why is Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner worth it?

Cleaning a swimming pool can feel like a time-consuming, never-ending job, but the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner can do the job on its own, which can free up more of your time for enjoying your pool. It's easy to use and connects to your existing pump so you won't need any additional power sources.

What is the difference between the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner and competitors?

Unlike some pool cleaners, the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner can aggressively climb walls, which allows it to keep your walls clean as well, saving you time from having to scrub them. It is also versatile enough to work on either in-ground or above-ground pools, with a maximum pool size of 16 by 32 feet.

What design features of the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner will enhance the user's experience?

When the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner has finished cleaning, it's easy to take out of the water because it features an easy-grip handle. Since it doesn't use a battery like many autonomous pool cleaners do, you can run it as long as you'd like -- it will simply attach to your existing pump for its suction power.

What drawbacks of the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner should the user consider?

While many people were impressed by the Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner's suction power, wall-climbing abilities, and versatility, there is one minor drawback. Since it is so lightweight, the vacuum can sometimes flip over, and it can take some time before it eventually finds a way to turn the right way again.


FAQ

We've researched and answered some common questions that arise when consumers are shopping for pool cleaner.

How long is the hose on this pool cleaner?

The size of the hose on the pool cleaner will determine how large of a pool it's suitable for. The Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner comes with a 32-foot hose and can clean a pool that is as large as 16 by 32 feet. Keep in mind, this pool cleaner can also clean the walls instead of just the floor.

What size of port can this pool cleaner connect to?

The Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner can attach to suction lines, which are generally around 1.5 inches, or to your skimmer in your pool. With the included universal hardware, this pool cleaner can be attached to a skimmer of up to approximately two inches. If it doesn't fit your pool, you may need to buy an adapter from your pool manufacturer.

How strong does your pool pump have to be to be compatible with this cleaner?

The Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner will work best with pool pumps that have at least two-speed settings. They recommend that your pool pump has at least a one-horsepower motor to ensure that the pool cleaner receives enough flow to help it clean the walls. You may be able to use it with a less powerful motor, but it may not have enough suction and movement.


Final Thoughts

The Zodiac MX6 Automatic Pool cleaner works independently to clean your pool and won't require any additional power sources other than your pool pump. It is easy to use and can even clean your walls all the way up to your waterline.
