I Now Enjoy My Pool
Wanted to buy sooner but previous pool guy talked me into something else that was a disaster. Constant cleaning, mega money in chemicals. All because he was going to get a kick back and thought I'd be spending all that money in his store . This cleaner has made all the difference and saved me so much in wasted chemicals for a cleaner that just wasn't suitable.

Make your life easier
It works great, is easy to use and cleanup afterwards. Does well on all debris I've had.
I was worried with my first pool that I'd spend too much time hooking up to the filter and cleaning. Now I just put it in and come back at the end, clean machine and put away until next clean.

It does the job very well, it's just fantastic ...!!!
The product has helped my pool a lot and every time I need it. It's easy to use, easy to store away, easy to operate. It cleans exceptional well. I just loved it so much and I would recommend to my friends and families who have a pool. It was my first pool cleaner and we chose it right.

Cleans pool well
Does a very good job of cleaning the pool. Have not had to spend as much on chemicals already which offsets initial outlay. I only really use it to clean bottom of the pool -my pool is kidney-bean shaped so does not go up the sides probably as efficiently as would in a square pool

Hi Fincat, thanks for the 4 star review.
Have you tried changing the pool shape setting on the control box? There is an option for "rectangle pool" and a second option for "freeform" or kidney shaped... Read more

Smart design. Works very well.
Love it. Much better than the previous brand, which gave me grief for 2 years. I sent it back twice for repairs. Zodiac gived 3 year warranty which gives me peace of mind. Bought it from a local store who will be there if we have any issues, So far geat service from my local store.

Much better than a Creepy Krawly style cleaner
Easy to use.
Only takes one cycle of 95 mins to clean pool completely. Never gets stuck in corners or on steps.Can tangle near engine despite device to keep line straight. But this is minor.Will pick up large debris that would clog other cleaners.
Easy to store out of sight thereby enhancing clean cit appearance of pool &its surrounds

Hi Greg, thanks for the 5 star review!
Small tip if you are experiencing cable tangling, only use as much cable for your cleaner to get from one side to the order. Excess cable in the water may cause some tangling.

Cleans the pool perfectly every time without fail
Easy to use, pool has never looked so cleaner, picks up the bigger leaves which no other pool cleaner has, it cleans the dust / debris better than any other cleaner we have tried. The price is a little more than most cleaners but is well worth the extra money spent.

not worth the price tag
i am a disappointed as i had another robot cleaner for a few years that was fine but shop owner convinced me this is a better product. I am not sure why this cant go up the wall properly. it constantly turns over and moves slowly compared to my old cleaner.

Great machine
After 8 months we're really happy with the VX55. It cleans bottom and sides including the waterline really well, remote and lift system all work beautifully as advertised. The only flaws are not being able to clean the steps or pool corners (but at least it never gets stuck!), and not picking up the finer dust. 8x4m fibreglass pool.

Met expectations and promises
Filter makes pool clearer and lessens load on skimmer as it cleans the edges too. A hook accessory, to assist lift, may be a good idea for we oldies, but not essential.
A brush insert into the scrubbers would assist with ingrained dirt but general performance excellent to all size debris.

Good for leaves and sand... useless for fine dust
Just bought a Zodiac VX55 with 100 Micon filter (additional cost!!!!) It works well: climbs and brushes the walls, vaccums leaves and small particles perfectly. We run it every 2 days for 30 mn in a 10 mm pool. It is easy to use, clean and store. No tangle with the wire, not heavy.. Everything you need or almost... I am very disappointed and have to revert to the traditional vacuming when it comes to the fine dust. Not only it doesn't pick up the fine dust but when coming down the wall and moving it just spreads it away resulting in a cloudy...Read more
water. The robot also moves completely randomly, rolling sometimes several times over the same spot before it starts vaccuming other areas. Another point you have to consider if you have steps in your pool, the robot can't clean them because the steps are too narrow for the robot but this is not surprising considering the size of the robot vs steps.2 comments

Happy Purchase
Read all the reviews on this and other cleaners.
Had a KreepyKrawly when we bought the house in 2003, tried something else when that broke then bought another kreepy several years ago.
Real issues with the KK as the hose tangles and it stays at one end of the pool.
Had the KK in all winter and then, when I pulled the cover off the pool - yuk.
So - day one, after a single clean, it's a good start for the VX55 4WD.
It does what it is advertised as doing and I'm looking forward to a few more goes to get the walls etc cleaned up more.

Good product which Zodiac stand by. I had a warranty claim after 1.5 years use, rang zodiac their technician was at my place the next day, repaired the problem and gave me a crash course in how to operate it properly to get the best benefit from the cleaner......... first class Zodiac

Very good robotic pool cleaner - but not perfect.
The other reviews of this pool cleaner are accurate - this is an excellent pool vac; I am lucky enough to be able to afford the version with the remote control and the cord that doesn't tangle. So far what Zodiac say the machine will do, it does; with the following exceptions:
Cleaning the waterline/tiles - no way, the VX55 seems just too heavy to be able to get to the waterline and has been a total failure at cleaning the walls of my pool. the ONLY time I have seen this vac get to the waterline (in the shallow end at about 1.0 m depth) was ...Read more
the first time I put it in the water. Cleaning the walls/waterline area - it tries, but just can not do it. The remote control - maybe I'm just old and unable to deal with new technology - but the remote control is absolutely useless and very difficult to use. I don't find waving the remote around to the left/right/up/down intuitive at all - Zodiac - please just use some buttons next time. I find it frustrating and almost impossible to control the VX55 using the remote control. The lift feature - does not work for my VX55 - then again, the weight of the machine seems quite heavy so it does not surprise me it can not climb the walls effectively. When I press the lift button - the vac will align itself with the side of the pool and TRY to climb the wall, but just cannot get up the wall...there is no traction for it to climb the side of the pool - if its at the shallow end of the pool I can reach in and help it up. If it lifts at the deep end - forget it - then see comments above re the remote control trying to get it to the shallow end of the pool. Things I like - the caddy, the cord that doesn't tangle is excellent and appears to work just fine (read Zodiac's instructions), suction/pool cleaning is excellent (apart from the walls/waterline feature). It does a very good job at keeping the pool clean of leaves/larger debris on the pool floor. I may buy the 100 micron canister to see if I get a better clean... The canister is easy to remove and cleaning is easy. Zodiac products seem nice quality, I would definitely consider them again in the future. If the VX55 could consistently lift itself up to the waterline at the end of each clean, and the remote control was not so infuriating to operate, this robot pool vac would easily get 5 stars. It is a really nice piece of equipment that I would recommend.1 comment

Wow, bought a house with a pool, looked at various pool robotic cleaners, because the creepy crawly
being green in the ownership of pool cleaners I researched a few brands read articles on line. We purchased this model yesterday put it in the pool this morning for a 2 hour run, while I worked keeping an eye on it now and then. It happened to just tip over when I went to have a look at it in operation as read in one of the reviews on here. Rather than correct it I let it do itself. After it cleaned the pool my darling wife commented that it was the cleanest it had been. I cleaned the filter basket and was shocked how much it had gathered from ...Read more
the pool. Not being a expert or previous owner of a pool cleaner, other than the creepy crawly the previous owners left. I'd highly recommend a robotic cleaner after one clean. Our purchase was between the VX55 the VX50 and another brand with no caddy, no remote, a higher price and no repair on site. The choice wasn't hard because my friend wished he had bought a cleaner with a remote. IMO the VX55 has all the bells and whistles, and just what we needed and wanted.3 comments

very happy with my new cleaner
Purchased this cleaner after a few months of research, was a bit worried about spending $1500 but after using it 3 times now i am more that impressed. it works extremely well on my 8m x 4.5m free form concrete pool. first time i used it it did make the water a bit cloudy but i think that was due to there being a lot of stuff on the bottom of the pool. turned the filter on and that fixed the cloudiness. second time i used the cleaner it was even better and now my pool is cleaner that it ever has been.
very impressed so far very easy to use and it does a really good job.

Wish I had bought something else....
All this cleaner does is agitate all the dirt in my pool leaving cloudy murky water. This is caused by the strong water jet pushed out of the back of cleaner. Leaves and larger debris it manages,but everything else is just stirred up.. I have also tried the finer filter. Not happy as I bought "top of the range" cleaner and have gone back to using my pump cleaner. Waste of 2000 dollars.

Only two weeks old, but so far so good.
I've only had this cleaner for two weeks, but so far so good. It works very well cleaning the floor and walls, it picks up/cleans up everything it comes across, but I have one criticism and that is it struggles a bit on the steps. But as I said only two weeks so I'll give it a bit more time to map out the pool area and surfaces.
I put it in the pool a few times per week and it seems to do the job of keeping the pool clean and leave the skimmer free to do the skimming. I like a lot, the lift feature. I also find the rubbish basket easy to remove/replace and clean.
Overall I'm happy with the robot and would recommend it if the price doesn't scare you away.

Works reasonably well :-)
It works very good cleaning the floor and walls but it struggles a bit on the steps due to its size as it seems that there isn't enough space for it on a typical step. I have the 100 micron filter that helps with catching all the tiny stuff.
I put it in the pool a few times per week and it seems to do the job of keeping the pool clean and leave the skimmer free to do the skimming :-). Overall I'm happy with the robot and would recommend it if the price is no issue. However keep in mind the robot is rather big and on the heavy side so consider that aspect before purchasing.

Best Cleaner on the market
We have sold most brands of cleaner and have found the Zodiac VX55 unbeatable for cleaning ability and reliability compared to their competitors. The functionality of the cleaner timer and the lift system for removal from the water are also unrivalled. Zodiac have recently released a cable swivel but i have never had a problem with cable tangles when the cleaner is set up correctly and even when customers have just thrown the whole cable into the pool.
We tested the cleaner for 6 months before recommending to customers, then we staked our reputation on this range of cleaner and it has come through better than we ever expected.
Truly exceptional and our customers are so impressed with the results.

I brought the one with the longer lead and the remote, ! It's no worth the extra cost, 3k in nz, might sound to much but I am very happy with the easy clean filter system,. better than any others. Don't believe all the hype about it cleaning the walls,, but it's the only way to clean the pool ! It shows in what comes out in the filter
How much does this product cost in AUD??
Paul S.asked
Hi, I have a vx55 that’s about 3 year old. I seem to have the same problem that others have raised. Originally it was very good but now it seems to run backwards when it should be going forwards and it flips on its back and does a pretty useless job cleaning the pool. Just out of warranty so it’s an expensive and frustrating way to keep the pool clean for a couple of years. Anyone else resolved this kind of problem?
