This is my first experience with a self contained robot pool cleaner. I previously owned a Hayward automatic pool cleaner and since I don't have a dedicated cleaner connection I had to connect through my skimmer with the hose. Once that broke I just switched to a manual vacuum. Cleaning a pool is a pain in the ass. Brush the walls, fill the hose with water, pop the top of the skimmer, remove the basket, connect the hose to the skimmer and the vacuum, adjust the valves for maximum suction, go to work and then reverse the process at the end. This method also increases the filter maintenance since everything you suck up ends up in the filter. I considered buying another cleaner that attaches to the skimmer with a hose and the one I settled on was listed at $489. This Dolphin robot cleaner was listed at $599. So for a bit more than an extra $100 I got a cleaner that I just drop in the pool, connect to the power supply and push a button. It runs for a couple hours and then shuts off. I pull it out of the pool, rinse out the filter basket, rinse the cleaner, unplug it from the power supply and put it away. That's it. No extra stress on my filter or pool pump. No emptying the vacuum hose and storing it. No messing with the skimmer. I can run it when the pump is off. It climbs the walls up to the waterline and it has a rotating brush on the front that scrubs the walls and the floor. My pool is immaculate. It doesn't have a phone app, it doesn't map the pool, it doesn't have the extra feature that keeps the cord from getting twisted. I don't care. The first time I used it it missed a couple spots so I ran it again the next day and it cleaned the missed spots. I ran it again on the third day just because it's so easy to use. The cord got loosely twisted each time but since I remove it after each use it's no problem to untwist it when I put it away. I don't watch it, after a couple hours I look out the door and see it's not moving anymore so I know it's done and I pull it out. Even without the extra features this cleaner is fantastic. It might be nice to have dual rotating brushes but it cleans so well without that feature I doubt I would pay more to have it. As long as it doesn't break in the next few years I'll be happy. From what I've read Dolphin makes the best pool cleaners which is why I picked this one. So far so good.

I Should’ve bought this day one, it would’ve saved me so much time and effort. I’ve used the manual pump vacuum, and I’ve had the Polaris bat looking bag dragger, and both were terrible and such a pain to deal with. I use this in a 12x24 Intex pool, and it’s amazing. If there’s anything on the bottom or even the walls it’s gonna get it clean. It’s so easy to use just plug it in, drop it in the pool and power it on. It runs for about 1.5 - 2 hours and it’s done, the pool looks better than it ever has. Then once out of the water just clean the removable basket, and rinse the rover off, put it away and your ready for the next time you need it. Best of all there’s no dependency on your pump to use this, it’s completely independent. I would 100% buy this product again.

My pool guy was going to have to increase his prices by another 50%, so I was facing a choice of letting him go, or do it myself. I found the Dolphin and decided to give it a try. I waited until I'd used it for a couple of weeks before rating it. I couldn't be happier with it! Super easy to use, really easy to clean, and very effective. The fall will really tell the tale, because I have trees nearby so I fight leaves year round, so far it has kept up only running a couple times per week. I was a bit skeptical about the videos, but as soon as I turned it on, it did very close to what the video shows! Climbs the wall with no problems (I don't understand how, but its fun to watch!). I can't find anything bad to say about it. I recommend it.

Update on 9/22/2022: Shortly after writing the initial review, Dolphin contacted me and took care of the issue very quickly. I did have to ship the unit back to them, but customer service was very good and the unit was returned to me in one week. Once they engaged with me, my experience was a very good one. My vac is working as good as new now. I bought a Dolphin Advantage and 6 months after it began acting up. Vac would start, move a foot or two and then stop dead. I had to remove the unit from the pool and leave it to dry out unplugged overnight. About a month after that it just stopped working all together. Contacted the company 2-weeks ago and still have not heard anything except to take a survey on how good their customer service was! Took the survey, gave a bad review and still have not heard. Warranty will run out soon. This company does not stand by its product. Warranty portal is poor and there is no notification that your warranty claim was received. Will never buy from this company again.

I loved the simplicity and was quite good at scrubbing the walls. I have an old pool and it was challenged to climb and clean them, but I didn't have an issue with that. You do have to check on the unit once in a while to ensure it not stuck under a ladder or something. Otherwise I had no issues for a year. Then the cleaning pattern started to decay. It would travel about 2 or 3 feet and the go into reverse and a few feet later start back in forward mode. Days later it would only travel a foot or two. It was obviously a controller issue. Fortunately, the unit was still under warranty, but no phone to call. You have to go online an essentially put in a ticket and wait for someone to call you. It's day-2 and I'm still waiting. Meanwhile, it's back to the nets to clean the pool. I'm getting a little anxious about our planned pool party in two weeks.

I've just had this for one week. My pool is pretty much clear of large debris (leaves and sticks) since I opened the pool. The set up was very easy, dropped it in the pool, pushed the button and off it went. It does not seem to pick up everything though and did not clean the entire pool in one cycle. I observed it for a while to see how it was cleaning. Some times it would pick up materials, other times as it approached the debris, it appears the movement of the brush or something else pushed it out of the way of the cleaner. The standard filter basket is fine enough to catch even the smallest grit, so much so that I noticed the filter basket would fill up with a mud like substance. Since I just opened the pool I imagine this is sediment collected over the winter. But I see no need to pay the extra for the extra fine filer. As for whether this unit is sufficient to use with a pool larger than 33' (product description reads ideal for up to 33'), I guess it depends where your power source is located. My pool a slight kidney shape and is approximately 40' long and 16' at its widest point. It runs parallel to the rear of my house. The power source lines up with the middle of our pool. I placed the control unit in the middle of the pool and there is PLENTY of cord. There is no area of the pool that is not covered due to cord length (there was just the issue of not covering the entire pool during a single cycle). If you have an extension cord, I see no reason to pay the $200 more for the one with the larger cord (up to 50' pool). The controls are very limited on this unit too. There are buttons for Bluetooth and another setting but that is not available for my unit. It was confusing on getting it to run a second time since the settings are 1) every day, 2) every other day or 3) every 3rd day. I just shut it off, turned it back on and eventually I could run it a second time. I want to like this robotic pool cleaner. It was a good price compared to many comparable robotic units, it looks cool, doesn't need to be connected to the pool suction (thus more energy efficient), it climbs the walls (versus my old Polaris that just skimmed the floor) and it has a large, easily accessible filter basket. I will give it some more time.

Lets start with the positives: Great suction power, easy to clean out collection basket, easy to use. The negatives: the Dolphin is not as smart as it states-1) After using it for a few months, I noticed that the Dolphin would randomly scrub the pool floor without much of a pattern. It would clean the same areas multiple times and leave other areas alone. If you launch the Dolphin in different areas of the pool it would help. 2) The Dolphin would get stuck on the slightly raised bottom pool drains. Using it for a few months now, I noticed that when the Dolphin rolls over my pool drains (the covers are slightly raised approximately 1/2 to 3/4 in. above pool floor) it would routinely stop and spin in place just above the drains. I noticed that the Dolphin would just spin while seeing that the "tank" tracks would rotate back and forth for minutes at a time before finally getting unstuck using its water jets to "lift" itself off the drains. Finally, it is a minor issue but I figure I mention it: the power cord sometimes gets tangled up. Some other Dolphin models have a anti-tangle swivel power cord but this model doesn't. No damage was done to the line but it takes a few extra minutes to unwind the tangles after its scheduled run. Overall, it does what it says it can do including cleaning the vertical walls of the pool. Just don't expect it to do a grid like pattern covering every square foot of the pool floor/wall.

I really feel that I had to make this revue , I must say that this pool cleaner is unbelievable, it does everything that is claimed in the description, I was skeptical because of some of the bad revues but I was so tired of dragging out the hoses to clean my pool every weekend that I went ahead spent the money. This machine is incredible , I watched it the first time I placed it in the pool and could not believe the intelligent pattern that it ran while not missing a single spot, now I must let you know that I have a rectangular pool with sharp corners , nothing is rounded and I think that the scanning it does works well with this shape pool, very basic , could not get over how it moved across the pool in a slightly overlapping pattern similar to one cutting grass, went up the walls and scrubbed the edges of the pool as well as the steps and deep side swim out, it even backs up and rotates it is amazing ,the pool is immaculate, and when I pulled the filter basket out I could not get over how much trash was in it, very fine sand and small algae and bugs. This DOLPHIN Advantage Automatic Robotic Pool Cleaner has set me free from weekend pool cleaning....I love it I live in south Florida and cleaning a pool in the summer is no fun, and no mater how many times I go over the pool bottom I can't get it as clean as this robot, its the scrubbing action and tremendous suction power that actually swills the water upward from the powerful vacuum..... all I know is that on my rectangular pool it works great!!!!!

Now we wait till the evening time and put a towel over the battery pack. We live in Texas so the heat is really humid and HOT. The cleaner does go up in the walls but picks and chooses which walls. Gets the whole pool clean in less than an hour. Very easy to pick up and store in the garage. Basket in the robot is a big size and cleans off really easy.

I'm very particular when it comes to shopping for expensive products. I refused to buy a device that costs $1,000+. That said I don't want a poor quality product with no real functionality. This little pool robot turned out to be everything I asked for. It doesn't break the bank (relative to other robots on the market). It also works very well. The suction is great, it can scale the wall, and it's very easy to maintain/clean. I almost returned the robot initially because it wouldn't scale the wall. After pulling it out of the pool, I found out that some of my pool gunk (I put the robot through the ringer when I first got it) had blocked the two ports that suck the device to the pool wall/floor. After cleaning those ports (20 seconds of work) it worked like a charm again. It's been working like a champ and I haven't had to manually vacuum all season so far. I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend.

I love how easy this product was to "set up"; there's practically no set-up at all--simply attach the cord to the power source, then plug it in, place the robot in the water, and watch it go. Couldn't be easier to use! Super easy to clean the filter bucket after each use, and it's easy to carry to the robot to & from where you store it. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there are a few spots in my deep end that it never manages to get on its own. I have to brush down the debris into the center of the deep end floor in order for it to detect/pick up that debris. Overall, though I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend!

We bought this to replace a Polaris vacuum that ran off the pool's auxiliary port after the plumbing sprung a leak. Our pool guy suggested this model and said that it would be cheaper than fixing the plumbing and would be better overall. I'm happy to say he was right. The pool hadn't been vacuumed in about a week before we tossed this guy in, so it took 2 cycles to get everything clean. The basket was FULL of debris after the first cycle- pine needles, leaves, dirt, and even green algae. It climbs walls without a problem, doesn't get stuck, and just gets the job done. In retrospect, the old Polaris vacuum was too small for the pool, and took forever (using a ton of energy) to get the job done. This little robot is a major upgrade.

Love the ease of removing and cleaning the filter bin.

Downside: It doesn't seem to be as effective at removing all of the debris and cleaning the walls as our old bot (still better than me doing it though!).

So far, so great. I’ve been spending way too much time in the sun using the vacuum head that you use through the skimmer. You can’t even compare the two. The hand vacuum is like a rusty bicycle with one tire. This robot is like a Ferrari. We ran it twice yesterday, once right out of the box and another in the evening because the pool bottom was a little rough. I wish I had taken a picture of the filter basket. We are very happy with the purchase. It’s pretty pricey but not too bad when you compare it with other robot options. Worth every penny for how much time I’m going to save by not having to do it myself. Will update again towards the end of summer, but so far I am very happy!

I love this Dolphin Advantage pool cleaner! It’s so easy, just plug it into its own power pack, gently drop it into the pool and press the on button. It cleans for about 2 hours or you can turn it off if you want to do a quick cleaning. To clean, hose off the parts and let dry. I use it on a 24’ round above ground pool. It cleans the floor, walls and stair sides. I do see some of the fine residue left in the middle but I think I might need to get the ultra fine basket to get rid of that. It’s a little heavy, especially when you remove it from the pool, but that doesn’t make me dislike it. All robotics are pricey but Amazon Prime’s no interest payment plan is appreciated.

Well after 2 weeks of use the little rubber (guides?) under the unit stated to fall out. It gets stuck on the bottom suction grates. Unless it approaches the wall straight on, it doesn't climb and just falls off and backs up for 20 seconds. The debris filter is very easy to clean. It's fairly light weight. Doesn't really scrub the ground or walls and remove algae which was the entire reason for buying. It's just ok.

Based on other reviews of the Dolphin Advantage and other Maytronics products I had very high hopes for this robot pool cleaner. I was pleasantly surprised when it was delivered 3 days earlier than predicted. The Advantage seems very well built and I like the easy to clean basket and its ease of use. Put it in the water, adjust the power cord length, plug it all in and press start. Sad to say it just doesn't do the job I expected from what is billed as a "smart" device. It spent most of it's time in one corner and rarely climbed the walls. When it did decide to climb up the walls it was great. Amazing suction and I saw it move horizontally along the longest wall in my pool one time. Fantastic. Unfortunately it rarely decided to climb. With great regularity it would start to climb, maybe get 1/3 of the way up a wall, pause, think a bit, then reverse back down to the pool bottom. It did not slide off my walls. This was the robot's choice. So following the helpful hint section, I tried all kinds of things to no avail. It didn't matter where the power cord was positioned - which side of the pool, etc, or even the length of the cord. The instructions suggest the minimum length. No joy. I took the cleaner to a friend's house and tried it there. Same thing. Just did not cover the pool and tended to stay in one area. Both mine and theirs are small pools. Mine is very small at less than 3,000 gallons and mine does have bench seating on 3 walls. The robot was able to climb up onto the bench with no problem and then proceeded to climb up the outer wall above the bench up to the tile line. It just did not do that more than 3 times in the 2 hour clean cycle. I have read benches can be a problem for these devices and to just brush the tops of the benches before starting the robot. That completely negates any advantage. I want to put the robot in the water. Leave it alone for 2 hours. Come back to a clean pool. No brushing. No manual cleaning to get the missed spots.

To replace the motor, it is almost as much as the machine was brand new. I still don't know how or why one clip broke and none of the others, it was in the basket one day when I went to clean it. Aside from this, the motor compartment should be secured by something more than 4 plastic clips as there is no need to access the compartment for regular cleaning or maintenance.

MAD as heck! I received this Maytronics Dolphin on 7/2/2022. It only lasted one month. It is dead. Will not move! I am so disappointed because my previous Maytronics Dolphin lasted 6+ years w/o fail, w/o any issues EVER! I ran that old puppy every day from March to October. It was a workhorse. I assumed this newer version would be just as reliable. NOPE!!! It lasted one month. ONE FREAKING MONTH. I can't get my money back from the seller b/c it's been over 30days!

Very impressed by this vacuum. It quickly and efficiently cleans the pool, including the sides. Nothing is left behind as it passes. Cleaning the vacuum is quick and easy. Pull it from the water, open top, left out the basket, release the bottom latch and most debris falls right out. A quick squirt with the garden hose and you're done. Highly recommend it

Disappointed. My 4 year old one died on me and that older model would clean the whole pool in 2-3 runs despite being a much older model. This much much newer model couldn’t clean %20-30 of the pool no matter how many times it ran. Still cleans well but not just the whole pool. Oh and the wheelies that other users are mentioning is true. A fault in design I am assuming. For its price point I would’ve wanted a better performance.

I read the other reviews of the Dolphin Advantage and other Dolphin vacuums and decided to give it a shot. The unit looks very good and sturdy. I put it inside the swimming pool ( 10'x16') and noticed that repeated cleaning the same areas over and over and left some other parts of the pool un-visited. Having already a stick vacuum, I wanted to buy this item because of the wall cleaning, but it rarely climbed the walls or only did it partially. The movement throughout the pool is completely random, not following any kind of pattern, you will see it in one corner, and then in the middle, and then back to the same corner, and then to another location with no logic at all. So sad, but I will return it... could be an amazing product if it worked like my inside-the-house robot vacuum.

I may update this review later but, for now, all I can say is that a device this simple should not be this difficult to set-up. Dolphin Advantage is not a product on Dolphin's site. Not a good start. The manual and quick start guide are NOT complete. For pete's sake the power supply only has 3 functions and the manual - the one that comes with it and what you can find on Dolphin's site - does NOT explain all three. Don't get me started on the app. There are two apps you can download. One directed me to download the other. That one could see the bluetooth connection on the power supply but refused to connect to it. Makes zero sense. Nothing should be this complicated to use. No user manuals / set-up guides should be this bad....especially for something this simple. Hopefully it cleans my pool correctly because otherwise this becomes a zero star situation. So frustrating.

This would be a great pool cleaner except for one little thing, it needs one more filter at the water discharge end. It has a tendency to spew small particulates out the discharge side once the internal filters become clogged with debris making a second, and sometimes third cleaning, inevitable.

This is an early informational review, I've only had it a short time. Amazon suggests purchasing this cleaner along with the p/n 9996098 (model 2011) caddy. However the caddy does not fit the smaller power supply that comes with the standard size "Advantage" cleaner. I called Maytronics, they were very responsive and they sent me a three-part adapter kit which mounts the power supply up near the top instead of in the base of the caddy.

I'm reserving judgement awaiting an email from Maytronics. We had a cheaper robot that died after 5 years. It cleaned the pool and walls really well. It did have a bag that was a pain to clean. I was unpleasantly surprised that this robot did not clean large areas of pool and did not climb the walls in the deep end. It cleaned the same areas over and over again. It was very easy to clean. As stated am waiting for suggestions from Maytronic; if this is the best the cleaner can do, then it was not worth the money. Maytronics did replace the cleaner. It cleans better then the original one did, but still does not clean whole pool in the clean cycle. Even repeating the cycle, areas of pool not clean. I would not buy the cleaner again. Although the basket is easy to clean I am finding I have to brush down the sides of the deep end and the crevices before using the robot; they are not clean after 2 cycles of cleaning. I really can't recommend this cleaner. The price does not justify the quality of this product.

But, the basket that catches all of the debris has a latch on the bottom that must be released in order to clean it properly. The latch does not catch, which means the basket has a bottom that will never hold once it is removed from the vacuum. Again, the one star on "easy to clean" is because it is impossible to clean the vacuum properly with a basket that doesn't function properly.

Do not buy this! Go with the Polaris P955. I'm OCD and stay on top of chemical level and skimming the pool. The Dolphin is an inferrior product in my opinion and the comparison I have by owning both. Believe the other comments if you want, regretfully I did. Their more expensive models may be ok but I have no facts on them. The Polaris is the real deal. And the cords on both models will get tangled up.

Although it’s easy to clean and easy to use, it doesn’t do a good job at cleaning. The basket is never full. Not even half full even if pool is full of debris. The cord is a pain and tangles no matter what you do to it. Whatever it does suck in goes out the back exhaust. This thing does willies with its back wheels instead of staying on pool floor. Rarely climbs up walls. A complete waste of time and money.

Very disappointed with this purchase. I a have attempted to use it several time and after every use I still need to vacuum the pool for all the stuff the vacuum missed. The vacuum often goes over the same spot repeatedly. And when transiting from the deep to shallow end, it does not stay flat in the pool bottom, so missing anything on the slope.

I was a little worried that since this said it was for pools up to 33 feet that it wouldn't work for mine, but I was happy to see that by putting this a little closer to the edge than the recommended 12 feet, it worked fine. The actual cord is about 45 feet long. You could also position this near the middle of the pool and then it only has to travel 20 feet each way so the cord is plenty long. Climbs us the walls in my 10 feet deep end and moves from deep end to shallow end easily. Does not get the stairs, but that is not an issue to me and I wouldn't expect it to climb those. Works fine under my cover and getting around floats. Great suction power and cleans up leaves, sand, and even sucked up some diving toys I accidentally left in with no problem. The operation is similar to a robotic vacuum like we use in the house - kind of runs in different diagonals and weird paths, but it does get my pool clean in about 3 hours. Very happy with the time it saves me on cleaning and it was well worth the cost.

My Dolphin advantage cleaned the pool on Monday while my daughter and nephew went to our local park that has a sanded beach area. The kids can't straight home that evening and hopped in the pool. I skipped cleaning on Tuesday and decided to run it on Wednesday. I couldn't get over the sand that was collected out of the pool that day along with other debris. I love that it cleans the walls, floor and waterline. The Hassel of a pool has became rather pleasurable. Instead of cleaning the pool we get to play in it. Best purchase that I made for the pool.

I have 24ft round above ground dished bottom pool. It cleans the pool of, leaves etc alglee and fine silt not as well, because if you don't run it for a day or so you can see it on the bottom but not nearly as much as before (I would say 70-80% cleaner) but I did notice the filter pressure increased right after the cleaning, so it's filtering out the fine stuff. Over time it will continue to improve, overall I'm happy with it. I havn't figured it out yet how it can climb straight up the curved walls but it does. no problems. The 4hrs month saving in vacuuming time plus it cleans much more often than I could.... is woth the price. I put off getting a robot vacume for more that 20 yrs.... waiting for the price to drop and for the robots to improve, I'm glad I finally gave in

We had an older dolphin model that lasted 5 years +(purchased in mid 2015), just recently died. Had previous models that didn't last quite as long. We had the most recent sweep plugged into a surge protector(with battery to even out energy flow). From what I understand, you can't use a extension cord and you have to protect the electronics from fluctuating power levels. The electronics are sensitive to that. I like these dolphin sweeps better than a water pressure sweep.

Bought this to replace an older dolphin pool cleaner. There are several features that make me wish I bought this one years ago. 1.) Faster water release on rear. Very little water removed from the pool. Old one seemed to dump a full capacity load of water outside the pool each time it was removed. 2.) Sinks on it's own. Old one had to be inverted and held upside down for all the air to come out. 3.) Top-load basket that can be pulled out, dumped, and returned in seconds. Was a 15 minute process with out old unit. Unit had to be turned upside down, remove cleaning section, remove cloth filter (which my kids affectionately called a robot diaper because of it's appearance and smell), spray with hose and get nasty robot poop splattered all over oneself, fiddle with returning the cloth filter/diaper properly fitted back into the machine, etc...

The above ground robotic pool cleaners are designed specifically for cleaning the FLOORS ONLY.
The Dolphin is designed to last many seasons. However, the lifespan differs from Dolphin to Dolphin. Many different factors play a role, such as amount of use, pool chemistry, and pool surface.
DIY repairs should be completed by an authorized technician. Please contact your local retailer for service, Maytronics directly at 1-888-365-7446 or the support page of our website.
The Dolphin requires a standard 120v outlet for power.
I have the same question since they are very similar, and I want to buy whichever is the better model. So I called Maytronics and they could not say there was any mechanical difference except the Advantage was 2018 and the Nautlilus CC was 2017.
Not sure the length of the cord, the description states pools up to 33’, my pool is a 14x28 & there is plenty of extra cord
Yes
I had mine for 15years I have an above ground too no problem at all .all I use is a 6in 1 tablet Once a week it distributes the chemicals perfectly so it doesn't lay on the bottom.I turn mine on .oh I also use a 3month algae in the beginning of the season.you wouldn't believe what you'll find I. The basket. I don't have this one .
I think so
My liner is about 8 years old and I haven’t had any problems yet!
I don't know what you mean by sloppy but this is an awesome product. I have learned that if you manually vacuum your pool to WASTE, it stays cleaner longer. Also, I bought the ultra fine filer for the Dolphin and i rinse them with the hose often.
It has Do It Yourself Cleaning Basket Technology.
The unit should still be under warranty. Note, however, that you'll have to pay for the return shipment. UPS charged me $50.00 from DC to Georgia.
I really dont feel it would reach entire pool & walls. We have a 15'x30' and cord barely reaches.
I'm nor sure of weight, but it's easy for me (65 yrs old) to handle. My guess would be 10-12 lbs. Easy to lift from water..
No, we’ve not had this problem after the few weeks we’ve owned it. It’s been a great cleaner so far! Very happy with this unit.
I don’t know. I would just check them before using.
How fine is needed b/c the provided filters are very fine. We recently had our roof replaced and the Little Rock particles blew into the pool. The provided filters retained them.
We have been very satisfied with it. The cord is plenty long enough and it has been reliable. If you have a lot of leaves and debris in the pool you may have to empty a little more frequently but other than that it is great.
Yes. Picks up sand and fine dirt easily
Sorry I don't the answer to this. I just got this product two weeks ago and have been impressed.
We just bought it and it works great for above ground. Climbs the wall up to the waterline.
Approximately 8 x 6 x 8 inches
I believe it's made in Israel
Have no idea of shipping weight. The shipping info has been torn from box. Sorry..
Yes
I don’t have that answer.
We have a vinyl liner and have had no problems. I don’t think it could hurt a vinyl liner. I don’t see any sharp objects on our dolphin.
I’m sure it will work just fine. We have an old school concrete pool from 1963, super deep end (11’) and it has no problem going up the walls and steep slope to the swallow end.
It does to a sense. When my pool was green, you could see the line of blue behind it, but like doing anything to algae, once it’s disturbed, the pool turns green. However I ran the dolphin, got all the algae up off the bottom of the pool, took the dolphin out, emptied the filter, put chemicals in, then a few hours later ran the dolphin again and our pool was clear
Unknown
I do not know how to do this. Sorry!
I don’t know. Our dolphin tries to climb the steps, but when it gets close to the top of the water, it goes back down the steps.
No this model does not. I find I don’t need it. I have used it for a few weeks now. It has worked perfect and actually preforms better then accepted. I rely on this bot to clean my pool 100% it picks up fine debris it’s easy to clean and operate. I put it in and turn on and forget about it . At times I may give it another cycle but lately one cycle will do. No issues with the cord tangling, getting stuck or missing spots.
It will float to the top when it’s powered off. Then grab the handle to pull it out of the pool. Drain the water on the deck & put it away. Super easy
It has no bags A basket that you remove and spray out to clean it. It picks up small stuff like sand
Has power source
i do not know. I have the Dolphin Advantage and would highly recommend it! i did purchase the extra fine filter to better pick up dust at the bottom of the pool.
The unit itself connects to a control unit that you could use an extension cord on. My pool is 14x28 and there is plenty of cord from the controller to the unit itself
From time to time it will get stuck on a drain for a minute or so but eventually it backs up and get off the drain. Nothing that you can’t deal with ...
I don’t have the answer to your question.
Ownwers manual, yes. Parts diagram, no.
yes - it should be fine!
If the power supply is at the half way point of the pool, then it can easily reach the 20ft to either end. I have a 24ft round and the power supply is on the other side of a 9 ft deck 33 ft.... no problems reaching the far side
My pool is fiberglass and it works great.
yes
Yes! It goes up, down and all around my kidney shaped pool that is 9-ft deep at its lowest pint.
Yes it works in salt water. I have aginnite pool but do not see why it would not work on a fiberglass pool. Pools with liners may be an issue though. As far as step and landings it can climb stairs and landings but can’t say it cleans then well given the size of the machine and stairs. It can also get stuck on stairs but it is rare.
It’s work fine on slope floors. I have not noticed any problem working both ends of the pool
My handle used to pop up automatically when you opened the top, but now it doesn’t. I gave to pull it up by a corner to get it to pop up. Maybe try gently pushing it down on both corners and hold it down while closing the lid. Hoping it works.
Not sure how old it is, I bought mine last year
Yes. It doesn’t tangle when under water
the best product to clean the pool
Robot unit is 15 3/4” W x 16 1/2” L x 10” H. It has attached to it, 50 ft of electric cord. Power unit is separate and much smaller.
My pool is kidney shaped. It cleans it very well.
Not sure what you are asking, I have a 17 × 35 pool with 8 foot deep end. It does clean the pool. I don't think it would clean any larger size pool I do have to use 2 cycles to clean the pool, But I still would recommend it
Yes
It should. It will depend on the placement of the control panel that is connected to the electrical outlook and the cord connected to the robot. It works perfectly on a 6 foot pool so I see no issues adding an additional 3 foot depth.
Yes
My pool is about 32x16 and we have no problem with it. The outlet is about 10 to 15 feet from the pool.
Not that I have found in the instructions.. it cannot differentiate between walls or a step or bench
Oh my goodness. I have a dolphin and have never had this problem. I would contact the seller ASAP.
16.5 by 16.5;; have a nice trip
Make sure the power cable is completely unwound before you start. My only problem is that the robot gets stuck in the main drain.
Yes you can leave it in the pool but we prefer not to. The cable have a being left in the pool for too long and I mean months not days will start to get a sticky residue on it. We pull our Dolphin out atleast once a week to let the cable dry off.
I think you would need to go to the next larger size I have a 17x35 foot pool. I can get the control box to within 5 ft of shallow end, it does OK at the deep end. Sometimes has to go through 2 cycles. Think you are suppose to plug into outlet, not extension cord. I would call the company. They are great to deal with.
Yes, you can use it in both salt and chlorine pools
Yes, it does a great job cleaning the pool. It climbs the walls and the basket is easy to clean.
Mine does not have a caddy. It is recommended that you store it upside down to keep the rubber brush head and the rubber belts on the wheels from having the weight of the unit on them when not in use. I rinse mine with fresh water after removing from the pool to wash away the chlorine prior to putting on the shelf until the next use. The Dolphin pool cleaner works great.
Yes, no problem at all. I have a 24 ft round vinal above ground pool with a dished bottom. It cleans it very well including the side walls
This does not include any type of extended warranty.
I do not think this is accurate. I can only see this applying if your power source is on either end of the length of your pool. I have a 40'L x16'W pool. I use an ext cord to place the control panel in the middle of the pool and I have no issues at all even with an occasional tangle. I estimate the cord is about 45' long as it is longer then my pool.
Not sure, but it climbs my steps and walls without difficulty.
I’ve used mine with blanket on it was no problem
No, but the tracks did come off once when the robot somehow flipped over attempting to climb the pool steps.
It’s indicated for in ground. There are other models that work above ground. Look at descriptions before ordering
I believe it’s the fine filter, which does a great job.
I’ve left mine in overnight, or for two days max, so I’m not sure. I live where we close/cover our pool in the winter. Maybe ask the company?
Absolutely yes !!!! I find I just don't have the time to spend an HR every week vacuuming my 24 ft round above ground pool. As soon as this arrived I threw it in the pool and couldn't believe how will it cleaned. I had a thin film of dirt/algee and leaves, it cleaned 95% of the pool the first time. It was amazing the difference in one pass of cleaning After subsequent cleanings it gets everything clean. It's very light weight, although I havent taken it out of the pool yet the fast water release you see in the video looks like it will be easy to take it out of the pool.
Not sure.
Possibly if it’s only a few, But this isn’t really the one for that kinda job
We did not get the caddy. You don’t have to have it. It sets up on its end very well. Just don’t leave it setting with the sweeper part down because it might cause damage to the fins.
Dont think so
The actual power cord to the control box is only about 5 feet. I can’t give you the actual lenght of the blue cord that runs from the control box to the robot but I can tell you my outlet is about 10ft away from my 20x30 10ft deep unground and it has plenty of extra. I never ran into an issue where the robot was limited by the cord. If your outlet is further from your pool an extension cord would be a very easy fix
It climbs walls, so it might be hard to use it on above ground pools unless the walls are really sturdy.
Yes it does climb up and down the walls and does a great job scrubbing! I am sure it does slopes as it can also climb and clean most of the steps (except the top one, not enough water there I guess. Best purchase I made recently!
The power cord is attached to the cleaning unit. The end of the cord plugs into the control unit that has its own cord that plugs into your outlet or extension cord. The cord is very pliable and can easily be coiled for storage with the cleaning unit when detached from the control unit. some of the videos (some on Youtube) offer good ideas for storage.
Not sure exactly, but not too heavy to pull it out of the pool while water logged with the dedicated handle. 20 pounds?
Yes, it may be too short. I believe they recommend only up to 30'
Yes make sure to use at least a 12 gauge lead
If you think the leaves might be excessive I would dip some out first but otherwise you just might need to run it more than once. Usually when we have a lot of leaves we run it twice. I would also by the ultra fine filters for this which helps with really fine silt and green algae.
Don’t see a need for one
Yes, the rubber brushes turn and scrub.
110v
Sorry I can't read this cause the geniuses at Amazon can't figure out how to format this message properly!
No. It does that for you. 2 hours & it’s done.
I don’t get it either. To me I just toss it in pool it cleans for 3 hours and if I needs more I run it again or take it out. I feel like leaving it in would degrade the unit.
About 30feet
The serial number is on a sticker inside the unit. Just remove the filter basket and you'll see it. Take a picture with your cell phone.
Not sure of the cord length but our pool is about 30’ x 15’ and the cord is long enough to reach everywhere it needs to. The control unit is inside the pump house which sits 10 to 15 feet away from the pool as well. We have no problem with it.
Here's my confusing answer- its says Doheny's Advantage Powered by Dolphin. Maybe its a partnership? I have no clue, sorry.
It runs on 110 electrical outlets.
Not 100% sure, but there is a 1-800 number on the “brain” for maintenance.
