Steer clear at all costs . Have had two and are faulty. Poor design

published

First CX35 three the belts off it continually. This is the second one and is 4 months old and I’d say the block and motor have had it. Runs for 3 seconds then nothing. Awful . Another rubbish product from zodiac

Disappointed in reliability

published

Great & easy to use cleaner BUT stopped working after 3 years with what is apparently a common fault of the motor block needing replacing. Being as we only use the pool for approx 4 months of the year I would have expected it to have lasted much longer.

Great cleaner

published

Replaced Barracuda and can't believe how much cleaner the pool is. Very good at picking up dust from the bottom. Saved electricity as well so great value. Easy to use

Had it 6 months now and so far so good, picks up all the small to medium debris covers the whole pool even some shallow steps. Very happy and good value compared some other brands and would recommend.

Zodiac Cx35

published

Just bought the cx35, I knew my pool was bit dirty but you could actually see where it's been as it cleaned the pebble Crete so well! Just a q, how do I set the timer on it? I'd like to set and forget whilst on holidays but for now I'm taking it out each day. Also, (might sound dumb) is the ebox waterproof? Theres no info on it. I haven't kept it in the rain yet as I'm not sure...thanks

Wish I knew about this earlier

Very easy and convenient. Plug it in, place in pool, press start. So much easier and better than a vacuum. Worth every cent and would recommend. My pool is fibreglass 11m x 5m

A magic cleaner makes my life so much easier.

published

Purchased this cleaner due to a disability which stops me from lifting heavy loads. It is highly efficient and picks up the leaves and bark that accumulates in the pool with ease. I was very impressed with the way it dealt with the fine dust blown in from the west. I normally put it in in the morning early, occasionally in the evening after dark. As it is completely silent my neighbours never hear a thing.

As an old woman I don’t call someone to clean my pool, Zodiac CX35 does it for me. It’s worth the m

published

Cleans floor and wall with out marks on a fibre glass pool. Fine dirt and leaves gone after my Zodiac CX35
does it’s job with in minutes.
My pool always sparkling clean and had saved my pool filter longer and saved a lot on chemicals.
Zodiac CX35 is worth every penny to me as a Pensioner. I don’t think I can live with out my robotic pool cleaner. I will never trade him for any man

Excellent Pool Cleaner

published

I bought this to replace a Hayward Shark cleaner which was old and stopped working. The Zodiac is much easier to empty and clean out, much lighter and it absolutely silent. It does a much better clean of my pool and i dont need to take out and clean any filters or replace them when they wear out. I have a sandstone wall at one end with a waterfall which means there is sand in the deep end. The old cleaner didnt pick that up whereas this one picks it all up. Very impressed with this machine.

Good for leafs and big debries but can not clean dust

published

I purchased Zodiac CX35 in August . It is excellent for leafs and bigger size debries and climbs the walls easy but I am very disappointed with remaining dust that CX35 can not clean . I have tried it more than 10 times last week and it makes it disappear from the bottom but after 1-2 hours dust comes back sitting at the bottom of the pool .

There seems to be a 100 micron filter but I expect a product worth 1000$+ to work better than this or at least to have the 100 micron filter included so I dont have to pay extra money to have the cleaner do the job which I have purchased it for that purpose .

Great Cleaner

published

This product does a great job, cleaning the bottom to the top of the pool - It collects all the fine debris as well - I have had it for about a month and love it. The caddy makes it easy to also move it into storage when not in use.

Zodiac CX35

published

First class cleaner after much research with robots costing up to $3000, as an electrical engineer the CX35 makes perfect sense . $1200 and 2 year warranty and a free sand micro filter as well. 3.5hrs of horizontal and vertical cleaning. Robust and well made. Great Product which I fully recommend. Tony

Working well and great not having hoses connected to skimmer box.

published

The Zodiac CX35 was easy to setup and worked well first time. It was easy to adjust the surface control system so it cleans the walls and waterline. Currently on the lowest setting out of 4. The CX35 came with the caddy which makes it neat to store and easy to move. So far very happy and it is good that the rubbish it picks up is emnptied out of the pool and not in the filter.

Questions & Answers

Tony.gasked

Hi, I have zodiac cx35.... the impeller starts for about 3 seconds and stops. Does this 3 times. There isn’t anything stuck in it.. I think the gearbox electric motor has stopped working as the unit would be 3-4 years old. Where can I buy one of these?

Apparently a common problem, we had the same thing, needed to have a new motor block & it was only a couple of years old, not covered by any warranty & expensive to have repaired. Couldn’t get any feedback etc from them, it was a pay for a quote & this is the repair cost, take it or leave it. Lousy customer service & not a good value for money product.

Tony.g
Tony.g

Yeah I am 90% sure it’s the gearbox electric motor. The whole block is $400 plus installation. Might just buy a new one or a dolphin.

Bought a CX35 about 3 years ago and recently the wheels and tread won't go by itself.
It still turns on fine, makes noise like it's on, the blowhole at the top still blows out water at the proper set intervals, it just won't move.
I am resorting to pulling it up each time, manually turning and fiddling with the wheels and tread, sometimes, this works and the wheels would automatically start going again and I would let it drop back down to the bottom of the pool. Many times, after the intervals, the wheels won't spin again.
Any suggestions on the problem?

Just had the same with ours that is under 3 years old, had to have a new motor block & cable which took a month for them to fix at over $500 NZ. This is apparently a very common problem with them. Very disappointed, would have expected longer life than that.

That's disappointing to hear, what did you use in that month while waiting? Bought a temporary kreepy?

I have a CX35 which has been working well for 3 1/2 years. An error message advised me to check the wheels which are jammed. I have removed the tracks and brushes and I am not able to turn the driving wheels by hand. Any suggestions on action I can take please.
