Zodiac® MX8™ Elite
This is the NEW Zodiac MX8 Elite Automatic suction Side Cleaner. The MX8 Elite is the first suction side cleaner to come equipped with brushes to scrub and clean the pool surface. The Zodiac MX8 Elite sets the standard for elite suction side pool cleaners.
What this cleaner does is quite revolutionary. Based on the Zodiac MX8 design which uses rotating scrubbers, but before this version the scrubbers did not actually touch the pool surface until the Elite version added brushes to the bottom of the scrubbers. So now as the scrubbers spin, the brushes lift off caked on dirt and algae. You can actually hear them scrubbing the surface with a microphone in the water (I used my waterproof camera mic to pick up the sounds).
The scrubbing action will put this cleaner a the top of the list in choices for your pool. It picks up large debris, leaves and dirt very well. This is almost a flawless cleaner in every respect. It does have trouble with long stringy leaf debris as that can jam the turbine. But most pools do not have this type of debris in it so that should not be an issue. And with the easy open top it really is not a game breaker, simply snap open the top and remove any debris that may be jamming the cleaner.
The wall climbing ability of the MX8 is unsurpassed by any cleaner on the market. The MX8 is saying, "walls, what walls?" It scales the walls as if it were just strolling along on the bottom of the pool. Now with the brushes it not only climbs the walls but scrubs them for you. So your pool will get full coverage from top to bottom.
It also has a very wide cleaning area so as it is moving on the pool it is cleaning very efficiently. For a large pool that is a definite bonus, it can wipe out a small pool very quickly too.
I wasn't a fan of the locking hoses at first but after a few years now I see that this hose type is very durable and long lasting. The MX8 elite comes with 12 hoses or 39 feet of hose, so plenty for a large pool. The hoses are very durable and long lasting too so you won't need to worry about them at all.
The parts on this cleaner do wear out like any other cleaner, but they are easy to change and are not expensive. This cleaner is constantly moving and turning so it does wear out the gears so expect to be changing parts every year or two. Not a huge game breaker considering how well this cleaner works overall.
So the MX8 Elite is loaded with great features. From the Cyclonic Scrubbing to the extreme wall climbing, this would be a solid choice for your pool. I would recommend it.
I dropped the MX8 Elite in a pool with a lot of algea on the bottom and sides to see if the Cyclonic Scrubbing Action worked as advertised. It did amazingly well in the test pool. It took the algae right off the walls before my eyes. Here is a short video of it working in that pool:
If you have an older MX8 they sell a retrofit kit also called the Cyclonic Scrubbing Kit which comes with two new turbines with the brushes attached. You can see how to add this to your existing MX8 cleaner from this video:

If you have an MX6 I also made a video on how to add the Cyclonic Scubbing Kit to the MX6 cleaner turning it in to a mini MX8 Elite. You can learn more by watching this video:
