    • Better than wheels IMO

Without hesitation, I bought a G3 to replace my old G3 that has been running great for well over a decade (see side by side photo). I decided to replace mine because 11+yrs submerged in pool water has finally caused some pitting and degradation of the plastic on the outer housing. Every so often, the inner diaphragm doodad, the round spiked blue pad on the base, and rarely the bright yellow rubber foot on the bottom need to be replaced due to wear, especially if you have pebble plaster. All those parts are cheap, easy to replace, and readily available on Amazon The G3 appears on many pool websites’ “Top 10 Cleaners” lists. That’s because it works great, uses a minimum of moving parts, and is relatively inexpensive. For reference, my parents had a similar design (but a different brand) in the early 90s which cost them $750. The G3 is refreshingly about half the cost of that. I used a pool vacuum before the G3 which had the big goofy wheels on either side and that design DID NOT work for my pool. Terrible design, the wheels are just something else to fail/break down Pros: Works great. Easily climbs the uneven sides of my deep end, which is about 7-8ft (see photo). Basically only one moving part, so no turning wheels to break or jam. Repair parts are cheap and available. Works great on pebble but amazing on standard plaster Cons: Almost none. If your pool has uneven corners or sharp curves (mine has a weird oval step in the deepest corner), it may take minor adjustment not to hang up. Also, large debris with sharp edges (like garden bark chips) can tear the diaphragm and damage the vacuum when they get pulled through In short, I’ve had a G3 or something similar for a long time. I don’t think pool cleaners need wheels and it’s just another part to break down. Love my G3 ... show more

    • Best pool cleaner I have used
I have had other brands of pool cleaners and this one is my favorite. Only one moving part. Took a bit to set up but works great in my 16x32 foot pool.

    • For me it gets no better.........
I had to copy Scott's review headline. I totally agree with him. It has been a game changer for me. When we built our pool they wanted $6500 extra for a dedicated Polaris pool cleaner.(runs on a separate pump). I declined at the time and had regrets. Since this was a larger pool than what they normally build, they did not install enough pool jets. I have what my dad refers to as dead spots. Algae forms on the wall of the pool due to lack of fresh chlorinated water. I was so frustrated. I had to brush the sides of the pool every 2 days to keep the algae growth at bay. I purchased this unit and my life has changed. It keeps the pool floor and walls unbelievably clean and saves me so much time. I run my pump 24/7 so using this unit does not cost me any extra money. If your thinking of purchasing one consider the fact that two weeks later I purchased another unit to have as a back up. Sure, I had to spend a few days tweaking the length of the hose to make sure that it would not get stuck. But now it performs flawless. Get one! You won't regret it. ... show more

    • Easy to install
Pool skimmer does a real good job. I always buy Zodiac but this was my first time purchase on Amazon. Like many other purchases, ordering was easy and delivery was prompt.

    • Energy Saver
This product is a saver. First it doesn't get stuck, does a great job of cleaning the pool and is fast. The best part is I could slow my variable speed pool filter motor down to 360 watts and the G3 is still fairly violent with how it shakes and cleans. Love this product so far in the first month....no moving parts so it should last a long time. ... show more

    • UPDATE: I returned it!
Review Image by Annie Annie
Review Image by Annie Annie
UPDATE: Well, I spoke too soon because the very next day the thing stopped moving and my pool pump lost prime to such an extreme it took hours to get it going again. There doesn't appear to be anything stuck in it and suction is happening, but it doesn't move and doesn't even make the annoying bipbipbipbip. I downloaded and printed the manual (which wasn't included in the box) and it told me there was a quick release cassette but didn't tell me where it was. I deduced from the drawing the general location but couldn't get anything to twist or unscrew. So much for quick release. Went over and turned off the pump and zoom! Out the hose flew from the wall just as it had been doing—along with a hoseful of leaves it had sucked up. So I can't travel even for a day without expecting to come home to a burned-out pool pump and am sending it back. Happily Amazon made the return easy. _____ I was losing my mind trying to get this thing to stop hopping up onto the swim outs and this shallow walk-in area. Plus it constantly got hung up on the vacuum wall connection, sucking air and causing my filter to lose prime. AND when the filter shut off the Barracuda hose would shoot out of the vac. connection into the pool. It also was spending all its time doing the walls and not the floor where all the leaves are. There was NO MANUAL included in my box, just a quick-start guide, so I talked to customer support with no success. I already had a VAC-LOK connection and I had already attached the weight to the first section of the hose. Turning down my pressure 50% didn't help either. I tried taking two lengths off the hose but put one back because it wouldn't reach to the other side. Back this thing was going because I travel for weeks at a time and can't have my pump burning out because it has lost prime. THEN SUDDENLY I got a brainstorm to take one section of my old Hayward Navigator hose, fill it with water, loop it through the black steering-wheel thing on the top of the Barracuda and put the whole thing in the water (don't ask me what inspired me to try this). I also took off the 45-degree angle fitting that came with the Barracuda and plugged the hose directly into my vacuum port. Amazingly it hasn't hopped up, gotten stuck or shot off the wall since! I watch it go over the vacuum connection, change its mind and go away without sticking. It climbs up to the swim-outs and walk-in but then goes back down without getting on it. I have enclosed a couple of photos showing my pool set up and how I rigged this hose thing to the Barracuda. The one thing I still hate is the noise it makes…a constant bibbipbipbip which, in addition to the sound of the filter pump, makes sitting outside near the pool in daylight hours (when I have to run the pump to get solar heat) an annoyingly noisy affair. And being in the pool with it gives me a headache. At least the Navigator was quiet. BUT unlike the Hayward Navigator, it has very few parts and I am so sick of dealing with Hayward equipment which seems to be built to break and designed to be tough for owners to repair themselves and the parts are ridiculously expensive for what they are. Plus terrible/no documentation. So for now this Barracuda is staying despite the noise and I will come back and update this space if I have to return the product. ... show more

    • Arrived early, in excellent condition with no missing parts
I bought this to replace my old one that had performed well for over 10 years. This is a workhorse! Easy to replace parts when needed, no fancy electronics to break down, and replacement parts are readily available.
