Update..Went out and Purchased theBarracuda MX8, I have a friend that does whoelsale pool parts so I got a very good deal on it. All I can say about this unit so far is that it is only about 1000x beter than the old Hayward Pool Vac Ultra that I had when it was properly working. Obviously have to see how it holds up over time but just looking at it it seems as if it is alot more durable than the Hayward Pool Vacs are.
