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.

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.
