My MX8 Elite isn't running like it should. Two years ago I bought the rebuild kit, and that fixed it up nice, but lately it runs slow and get's caught on the smallest thing. I have good flow, and recently cleaned my filters and baskets, so I am confident that that part is fine. I just removed the axle cover assembly, and found lots of debris (I assume from TS Hilary) wrapped around the one side, and I hoped that would fix it. But it is only marginally better. So I will be disassembling even further to look for debris, but since it is at least 10 years old I'm thinking about a new one.

I've seen good reviews about the Pool Cleaner from Hayward, but it is suction only, and I like the scrubbers. I welcome any opinions or advice about these three cleaners.

PS I realize the Polaris and Zodiac are essentially the same.... is one better?
