Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
Works equally well w/high- and low-pressure pumps.
The G3 will clean your pool as quietly as a mouse in church, allowing you to sit next to it and get some valuable time off for relaxation.
The Baracuda G3 suction-side automatic inground pool cleaner is an affordable, easy-to-install alternative to the more expensive pressure-side or robotic pool cleaners.
Baracuda G3 by Zodiac is a quiet pool cleaner which is powerful and can work with pumps which are slow and will still clean with best efficiency.
Simple and effective solution for a pool cleaner. I had to add an extra section of hose because my pool is large. I followed the instructions with regards to setting the hose length which are easy to follow.
The Zodiac G3 is an automatic pool cleaner that is best described by these two words:- Efficient and Affordable.
The other great feature of this product is its self-adjusting flow valve that comes with a feature of effortless adjustment.
The Baracuda G3 was surprisingly effective at cleaning debris.
What reviewers didn't like
Sometimes needs guidance into shallower parts of pool.
What it has a hard time handling, are large pieces of debris like leaves and twigs.
It has some minor issues such as its tendency to get stuck on top of a raised main drain and problems with handling large leaves.
The G3 is able to pick up smaller acorns, but the larger one get stuck in the diaphragm. I have to grab the cleaner off the bottom and use a dowel to push the acorn through the diaphragm.
It tends to get stuck once in a while, especially if it is not positioned properly.
Does clean pool steps
It also doesn't clean the steps as advertised which is a bit of a bummer.
