Dolphin Active 60 Robotic Pool Cleaner
Reviewed by Robert Knight
Key Features
- In-Store Exclusive - The Dolphin Active 60 is only sold in-stores and cannot be purchased online. But models such as the Dolphin Explorer E70, Dolphin Premier, or Dolphin Sigma are often cheaper and are nearly the same robot.
- Expensive Compared to Online Counterparts - In addition to only being in-stores, we noticed the Acitve 60 often being more expensive when purchasing ours.
- High Performing - The brightside is the Dolphin Active 60 is one of the highest performing robots. But you the exact same performance in the Dolphin Explorer E70 for less.
- Multi-Layer Filtration - The filter basket uses a dual-layer system to capture debris, which worked pretty well, however we preferred the NanoFilters more.
- 3 Year Warranty - With a full 3 years of coverage, we know our investment is protected.
- Includes Caddy - The Dolphin Active 60 includes the Dolphin Universal Caddy, which at this price point, should be expected.
