After years of having a creepy Crawley type pool cleaner, the Zodiac is so much easier to use and operate. A simple plug in, covers all the pool and I don’t have to go out and check on it. Also, with having its own filter system, it means the pool filter doesn’t have to work so hard.

Have bought this product and we are still waiting to have it fixed as it never worked from the minute we put it in the pool . Zodiac has had it for 3weeks and no contact with us and no phone call to let us know what is happening with our product we have paid for but never used in our pool

Thought we'd spend more money and get a better unit. For a $1000 unit it is reasonable to expect it to last 5 years. After about 18 months it began to move in circles so contacted Zodiac support. Zodiac said that the motor had died so we could replace motor (at about $300). It was very unlikely to be a dead motor as the unit still worked just didn't move properly. Had it looked at by someone (not associated with Zodiac) and the gears were worn on one side (makes more sense than dead motor). Contacted zodiac vic again to purchase new gears. Drove 2.5 hours to pick up only to be told they do not sell retail. Wasted 5 hours. New gears ordered from Sydney and installed but now the unit works for a few seconds then red info led flashes and unit turns off. Turning out to be a VERY disappointing unit Zodiac...... Unlikely to buy zodiac again based on our experience and feedback on product review.Read full review

I have a rectagle fibreglass pool with right angles - kreepy krawly always got stuck. The zodiac cleans well - it did get stuck on the top step once but a little bit of tinkering and no probs since. It has turned off by itself a couple of times not sure if this is a problem keeping an eye on it. Climbs walls well, bit I think it is more time efficient to sweep dirt on to pool floor and then just use in floor mode. Filter easy to use and clean - not sure if the micro filter does too much more for the cost though.

I have experienced many frustrating times with suction pool cleaners! Yes I have tried most of them, changed pumps a few times and really got sick of replacing them every 2 - 3 years. the original failures were much shorter than 2- 3 years as I left the units in the pool all the time. You should take then out when you are adding chemicals and then they will last longer with minor parts replacements. I finally reached my frustration limit and decided to invest in a robot pool cleaner. The research took several years a few more suction cleaners. I finally noticed a few good reviews appearing for the Zodiac CX20. The pricing was far more reasonable than some of the other solutions I was considering and as the first born had moved out of home I decided I needed to moderate the investment amount and purchase the CX-20. I live on acreage and get some debris blown in with the strong Queensland breezes, however my biggest challenge is the mess the wild ducks make of the pool when the swim and get out. There is some biological need to poop multiple times whenever they are in my pool. Last season we averaged 8 ducks in the pool at any given hour of the daylight and thats a lot of poop. The best thing about the CX20 is it picks up just about anything in the pool and non of it is cycled through the filter. Just marvellous. The leaf box stays much cleaner, the filter stays very much cleaner and the pool is much cleaner. There is no issue with the unit not running if the hose or the lid come out as the CX20 doesn't use the suction - bonus. It is very easy to clean which I do religiously after every clean. It gets up the walls of my fibreglass pool consistently and even manages the stairs sometime. I take it out after every clean and empty the basket and clean the unit. I have had it for around 12 months and there is not visible signs of wear on the moving parts. Do you self a favour and have a closer look at this marvel.Read full review

I have had the cx20 for 3 weeks now. Love it, much better than the creepy crawly. It covers 99% of the pool and with the standard basket works extremely well. As long as it stands up to the test of time, I'll be pretty happy. Very simple and easy to use. I made up my own trolley from a supercheap trolley, rather than purchase the more expensive version. Saved $400.

It seems to have extra protection on the power lead into the unit my old one has ended up with a problem from this area and I'm hoping this want happen again with the new unit

This product is excellent, only used the once so far but it cleaned in 1.5 hours and did an exceptional job, time will tell but better than my last cleaner

This pool works well on normal pools and I would recommend it. The only draw back that I found was not the problem with the machine, but our pool. We have a walk in pool rather than steps. The cleaner will tip over backward when it reaches the shallow end. You have to turn it over manually and redirect it back into the pool. Other than that it is great to use and performs it's duties well.

Just drop the unit in the water and off you go, have a drink and watch it at work for you. Very simple easy to use, keeps the waste on board in its own easy to open and empty bin. Cleaning the pool with normal vacuum placed the waste inside my pool cartridge filter meaning weekly cleaning - not a problem any more. Has a thin 12? metre x 10mm cable connecting it to control box - not a huge vacuum hose like creepy crawly ones - you do need power near your pool for the control box, ie your pool pump area.,,and the box is waterproof but not weather proof - so best to keep it under cover when not in use. The only one negative review i found was complaining about its weight when removing from pool. This really not a problem at all if you remember to lift it slowly to let the water drain out - saving you unnecessarily lifting 5kg of water. It only takes 5-10 seconds and says so in manual anyway. I use the pool broom to lift it with no dramas.Read full review
