Although I used a pool rake to get the majority of the leaves out of the pool at the beginning of the season, there were a fair number of leaves that needed to be clean out. The MX6 had issues where it kept getting stuck because the internal turbine would get stopped up by a couple of leaves. I did not have this problem with our old Hayward PoolVac. Also, as noted in other reviews, the MX6 does not deal with stringy debris like long needle pine straw very well. Once I got the pool to be virtually leaf-free, the cleaner has been doing a good job and the turbine has only gotten stuck one time. So far it seems like it does pretty well and the cost was reasonable.

I gave it three stars only because this pool cleaner is very sluggish... I did every adjustment necessary to increase momentum but no avail.. it doesn’t climb walls it gets stuck on the drains it goes so slow I sometimes I think it’s going in reverse and on top of all that it goes to the corner of the pool and stays stuck there until I move it... it’s a awesome looking design but that’s all , i had no luck with it I would not recommend this pool cleaner,sadly to say.

I've had this things Big Brother (MX8) for several years now and can easily say, when it's working, it does a great job. I find some of the parts wear out over a year or two but found them relatively cheap online and learned to replace them myself. These units spend a lot of time in the water, (I've got tree's) so yes, they get a substantial number of workouts. They tend to clog/hang-up when they climb the walls and run into oversized leaves and sticks at the pool edge, but I've learned to manage that. They are not maintenance free and if you have large debris in your pool, you should remove it first or be prepared to clean out the unit, (takes just a few seconds…..but still). You can’t drop these things in the water, regardless of what’s in there, and walk away. But as I’ve said, I’ve learned to manage. For the price, and the amount of work they do, well….I now have two of them. Read full review

Its pretty simple to assemble and use. could have used 1 more piece of hose, doesn't quite reach far corners. Also have issues with it going up the sides to the top of the water and staying there. Have to physically push it back down in the pool. So I think it just needs more weight in the body. But it IS easy to use!!

Low Flow. Still trying to find the sweet spot with the flow rate, but this works better on low flow than others I've owned (Baracuda G3 and T5 & Hayward Navigator). Track system. The MX6 has tracks similar to that on a tank.This design is far better than the diaphragm valve models. I can't tell you how many diaphragms I've replaced over the years, at $40 a piece. Has not gotten stuck. So far, in the past few weeks and used daily, this thing does NOT get stuck on the stairs or in a corner like my old G3 and T5 did. They claim this thing will climb the walls, but I have yet to see that happen. Overall I'm very pleased with the performance. Time will tell how the parts hold up in a chlorine environment and daily use.
