MX8 does not work

I bought an MX 8 yesterday as I like many others was told its the best. This is far from the truth. Slight bit of a storm last night a few leaves in the pool and the cleaner does not work. Just stopped dead. Cleaned basket, backwashed etc. The unit started working again and then the leaves. stopped dead again. checked the rotation etc of wheels all perfect. put it back in and yes once again stopped due to the leaves. The Zodiac \customer\" service person told me after a few minutes to \"just take it back to the shop\". This is did. Bought a new clearer from your opposition and my pool after just two hours is clean. This is the third Zodiac product I have bought and all were *******. Memo to self: buy what works. "
