I've waited to write this review until we used this robot for a decent amount of time. I can say that it is a real time saver when it comes time to clean the pool. Almost every time I clean my pool it covers nearly every inch of the pool and it cleans very well. There have been a few times when it didn't get the entire pool floor, but it generally does great. I think one of the best things about the robot is that it has a self contained filter basket. So there's no hooking it into your filter. I have many trees around my pool and they drop a good amount of dirt into the pool. Typically I put the robot in the pool every day because there's dirt on the pool floor. All the dirt is captured in the robot's filter basket. This means I need to clean my pool filter much less often. When the robot is done cleaning I take it out of the pool and put it in my shed. Then I clean the filter basket which takes about 30 seconds. All in all I spend maybe 5 minutes a day putting the robot into the pool then taking it out and cleaning the filter basket. I used to spend 30 - 45 minutes every other day with the vacuum that connected to my pool filter via hose. This robot has done and incredible job cleaning my pool and saving me time. So why only 3 stars? Two reasons. 1. On the Amazon page for the robot it says quite clearly "The E10 is backed by a 2 year manufacturer's quality warranty protecting your investment." That was one of the main reasons I bought it. When you spend this kind of money you expect a longer warranty. My opinion is the warranty should be at least 3 years but there are few robots, if any, with a warranty that long. However, even though the listing says it has a 2 year warranty, when you get the robot and you look at the warranty card you can see what the warranty really is. The warranty card says 2 years for plastic parts and 1 year for cable, power supply and motor unit. Why not make that clear in the listing?? If you look at one of my images you'll see the actual warranty card statement that I put a red box around. It's highly unlikely a plastic part is going to fail in 2 years. It's way more likely something mechanical or electrical will fail. So they are being very deceptive about the true warranty on the unit. I did buy the extended warranty through Asurion, but I'm not holding out much hope they'll actually be helpful if needed based on reviews I've read about them. Hopefully I never have to find out. 2. Customer service appears to be non-existent. When I received my unit the filter basket had a hole in it. I know that sounds bad but it was in a place where it didn't really have a negative affect on the operation. However, being a new unit and being quite expensive I wanted to get the filter basket replaced with one that didn't have a hole in it. I called their support line and got no answer. I then sent an email and got no response to my email. So I'm assuming they don't really have a customer support group. Or if they do then they just don't care about actually helping their customers. I ended up having my wife sew up the hole in the basket. If you look at my other image you can see where she sewed up the hole. Filter works fine, but like I said, this is an expensive item and I should be able to expect quality. I do recommend the robot. Just keep in mind the 2 year warranty is not a complete warranty and good luck with their customer support if you need it. ***Update 6-27-2019*** After my review went public I the company responded to my comment almost immediately. I emailed them at the email address they gave in the response to my comment. They apologized for the lack of customer support during my initial attempts to reach out to them and they sent me a new filter to replace the one that had damage when I got the product new. So apparently I was just unlucky when I first tried to reach them. Since writing the review my experience with their customer service has been stellar. I still think the warranty statement for the product on Amazon needs to be clarified, but because of the great customer service I finally got I'm not going to remove any points for that. If I could give 4.5 stars I would. But all in all the product works great and customer service took quickly took care of the issue once I was able to reach them.

We got tired of having to hook up a hose to the filter in order to clean the bottom of our above ground pool. This solved our problem and is very easy to use. A few times we have turned the unit off then back on after an hour of use to get it to go through another cycle when the bottom of the pool was very diry. My only gripe was it didn't come standard with the very fine filter basket that we ordered separately

Purchased this based on a friends recommendation and the reviews. This has been an excellent putlrchase for our pool. We have a 33' pool and this does a very good job. Husband loves using it as it helps him in maintaining the pool. Suction power is good as we were surprised how much stuff it picked up. Its also very easy to clean. Would highly recommend.

I use it for an above ground pool and it works great. The suction is good and it cleans the pool floor in about an hour. Set up is easy and directions are clear. I was impressed with all it picked up. Now this particular vac is for the pool floor only - it will NOT climb the pool walls which is perfectly fine by me since I don’t have that need. Highly recommend!

It is terrific for cleaning up leaves and other large items in the pool. Set it and go, cleans an 18-foot pool in a short time. Seems to get confused though, because the floor isn't completely flat, and frequently skips areas. Not a huge deal, I come back and move it to the missed area and it finds it. Only real complaint is that it doesn't take care of fine debris anymore, pool gets cloudy just like with cheaper vacuums. Dont understand why this changed, I've only had it for a couple of months. Just bought the ultra fine filter basket, am hoping it works! If the water gets cloudy then this was a big waste of money

This is our 2nd robotic pool vacuum. The 1st was cordless and had no suction. We decided to spend a bit more and purchase the dolphin after reading several reviews. It's amazing. Easy to use. Plug it in and drop in the pool. It scoots around for 90 minutes and does a great job of picking up leaves and sand! My only 2 negatives are 1. it should come with caddy and cover and 2. they should include a plastic hook to pull it out of the pool. Other than that, it's a great purchase and I now vacuum my pool regularly!

Our really nice dolphin broke unexpectedly and we were on a budget, so elected to buy a more basic version. Works pretty well. We occasionally ruin it twice if we’ve left the pool unattended a day or two. Very easy to clean out as well.

I am using it now for a couple of months wanted to give it a fair chance. Have a 28 round above ground pool. I had a nitro smartcleen for almost 10 yrs and it did a great job but they are no longer available. This Dolphin E 10 not so much, I have to runs it 3, 4 or 5 cycles and it still does not clean the entire pool. It is like it gets stuck on 1 area/quadrant and just does not do the rest of the pool. It does not pick up sand. I tried putting it in different areas, but there is no rhyme or reason to how it vacuums or where. The cleaning part is fine since the bottom flips down which is also a weak part because its closure sometimes gets unlocked during operation and you can't get it out of the vacuum. I had looked at the reviews and they were good, but I am not liking it at all. It is not light to pull out full of water. I am sad that my money is now invested in this thing because I have to go behind it and scrub the bottom and vacuum again and again and it is just not getting it. Even when it looks halfway clear when I get the vacuum out and then when the water settles it is right back on the floor. It is almost as if the vacuum stirs everything up, keeps it suspended and then when the vacuum is pulled out all the debris settles back down. Like I said I have had a pool for almost 10 yrs this is the first time it is doing this. I used a payment plan to purchase this and wished I could get something else because this is not worth the money.

Just received this today, and used it for the first time today-BUT-there is NO HOOK included to get it out of the pool! One might say, well, jump in and get it! Not always possible though. Right now, our pool has an excess amount of DE in it (added, believe it or not-by a pool company) add to that a hole in the winter pool cover which allowed a bunch of crap to get in it, so, it isn't in any kind of condition to swim in. Hence, the purchase of this vacuum. It does seem to do a good job, and contrary to what the description of the vac says, it did start to go up the walls (we have an above ground 21 foot pool), but it was not easy to remove from the pool. Luckily, we have a garment hook that we used to get it out, and, by the way, this particular model doesn't park itself near the edge, so you have to time it so that you cut the power to it when it's near the edge. Also, it's heavy lifting it out of the pool while pulling it upwards. We are older and don't have a lot of strength, let alone hand strength, so this and the lack of a hook is something to consider if you have the same issues. I find it disappointing for the expense of this that a hook isn't included. That said, it seems to be a good vacuum.

Very good products great suction cleans the pool fast and efficiently I like that it’s on its own power source it doesn’t run off the pool suction

Real review not paid. We upgraded to a Intex 18' x 52" pool from a 15'. It's so high I can't use that hose and pole vacuum anymore. I seen all the $300 vacuums but the results and scrubbing power looked mediocre. I splurged and got this dolphin because it's a brand name not a china name and it also has a scrubber which the cheapies don't. People complain about the cord getting tangled but it has not even been close to getting tangled. Don't need to worry about angles and those things like cheapies, just set it in and turn it on and it'll get to all the spots. Our bottom didnt even look that bad to start but after an hour I pulled the thing out and the basket was plastered with little bugs, a bottle rocket stick, grass clippings and moldy stuff. No need to charge batteries or anything just set it in and go as long as you want. The suction looks super powerful, when it gets to the edge of the pool you can see the water at the top surging up, that's moving alot of water to push surging water up over 4' of water! Glad I splurged on this.

I was hesitant to spend the money, but I am so glad I did! The vac is GREAT! It cleans amazingly and removing the basket and cleaning it is super easy. I toss it in the pool and an 1.5 hours later its done. Being that it does not use suction from the filter, anything it traps does not reenter the pool. During my research, I though heavily about rechargeable (wireless) vacs. I thought about the battery sitting dormant for 7 months out of the year and questioned the longevity. The cord on e10 is a non issue! My only wish is they provided the fine filter in the pack instead of up-charging for it.

I ordered the D10 in early spring of 2021 and didn't get to use cleaner until after Amazons return date. The D10 didn't meet my needs as I anticipated. I guess I was over estimating the capabilities of the machine to clean my 18x36ft in ground pool. So after realizing I couldn't return through Amazon I reached out to Dolphin. Rep worked with me to land on a model more suitable for my needs and they ended up sending me a upgrade model (Active Solo) after shipping D10 back to them. I expected to pay an up charge but was pleasantly surprised they didn't charge one. New model works great and I'll definitely buy Dolphin products in the future due to the positive experience.

Unit works Great, saves me a lot of time, I can do other things while the pool is being vacuumed. Since it is self contained, it doesn’t work with my pool filter, my filter stays cleaner, I don’t need to backwash it as much as I used to.

Like many I struggled with spending 500$ on a pool vac when there are cheaper options...and frankly 500$ is still considered low end when looking at the best brands. But I justified this purchase by telling myself it will provide quality of life....and DID IT EVER! This was the best 500$ Ive ever spent. I wont compare AI, features and models because I don't know anything about other robo vacs, however the outcome and results speak for themselves. Just look at the pics I posted ... I literally tortured this little thing during my pool opening (18ft round above ground pool). Keep in mind that all that gunk you see in the pics was picked up by the E10 with the standard filter - the water level wasn't quite high enough for the pool filter (I was filling it up as the vac was going) - by the time the water level reached the filter line, everything was clean, and the pool filter would now handle getting the water crystal clear. To get all gunk vacuumed up it took about a day of back to back robo vac sessions, then another few days of 24/7 filtering to get crystal clear water. This was practically a hands off cleaning experience!!! Don't think twice get a good reputable brand robo vac like a Dolphin. I cant imaging how incredible the higher end Dolphins must be but for me the entry level E10 worked amazing and its changed my pool maintenance life forever!

No more hooking hoses up to this or that to vacuum. No more bottom pool work for me! Put it in , take it out , clean the filter . I was not able to clean my pool without my husband’s help. I couldn’t get the fitting off where I needed to hook up the hose for the manual vac. It was a pain in the rear . Not anymore! I call it my pool boy . Just buy it .

It's a pain to get set up and in the pool. It does a fair job, but I have to run it several cycles to get at everything. The company has excellent customer service.

Makes cleaning my pool so much easier. Picks up leaves and pine needles which often blows into the water. It also climbs the walls very well.

Works great. Add the extra fine filter . Thank me later

We have an above ground, Intex Easy-Set pool. I've struggled with keeping it clean the entire time we've had it. I first tried a manual vacuum that connected to the filter intake, but the filter struggled with it (like trying to suck water through a REALLY long straw) and it was a hassle to set up and use. Then I tried a self powered vacuum that attached to a pole...this worked better but was a lot of work and time consuming because you constantly had to stop and clean out the small debris filter. Then I tried one of those automatic filters than you attach to the water inlet...this worked OK but didn't filter small particles, did not have any kind of scrubbing action and was also a bit of a hassle to set up (having to shut the filter off, attach the huge hose, restart the filter, etc.) Which brings me to the Dolphin. Of all the cleaners I've tried, this is by far the best in terms of ease of use and cleaning ability. You plug it in, chuck it in the pool and run a cycle (or two). It gets the pool as clean as any of the methods I've tried but with almost none of the work or drawbacks. Couple things of note... Our Intex pool has sloped edges, I was worried about this causing the Dolphin to tip over or have problems. This hasn't happened...the Dolphin is totally stable and a happy discovery was that even though this model is not designed to do so...the sloped sides allow the Dolphin to climb the walls pretty well. One downside is that because of the shape of the corners of the pool and the size of the Dolphin, it can't really reach all the way into the corners...I had to use a brush to push the debis out of the corners for the Dolphin to grab. I've seen a couple complaints about the Dolphin doing "wheelies" all the time and not cleaning because of this. Ours does do wheelies every now and then...but I'm pretty sure this is by design. From watching it, it seems to do wheelies as a method of changing direction. It'll pop up on it's back wheels, turn, then lay back down and keep going. Another complaint I've seen is in regards to the filter basket not catching small particles. Based on those complaints I went ahead and ordered the additional "ultra-fine" filter (which is made of a papery mesh material, similar to a pool cartridge filter). In hindsight, I don't think I needed to buy that. I don't know for sure but I "think" they may have upgraded the included filter at some point as the standard filter has no problem catching algae particles and the regular "pool scum" type stuff. The included filter basket is not made with the same "pool cartridge" material, but does still have a very fine screen that seems to get everything. I have not even tried the additional filter as I haven't needed it. So anyhow...they're expensive compared to many options. But if you like having a very clean pool with little effort...this is the way to go!

Great product. It is easy to use and to clean afterwards.

For the first 2yrs worked great.1 month after warranty stopped working.So if you want to spend $600 every 2 yrs then I would definitely buy it .

I'm a new pool owner and trying to use the vac that came with the pool was an exercise in futility. This works great, I usually run it once a week and do two cycles with it, like other reviewers have noted it should come with the ultrafine basket, but it still picks up lots of debris, is easy to clean and doesn't require a degree to operate. The only negative I've found so far is it occasionally gets stuck on the bottom drain, and I have to move it by hand and restart the cycle, other than that it so far appears to be a great product.

It only runs for an hour and half and stops. You have to keep restarting it.

Have had for about a month . This a easy to set up and use...

Quit working after 1 year. Sent request to Maytronics for repairs/replacement under warranty. Will update. Update! Took them a few weeks to repair but they shipped it back repaired and with the packaging that it came back in I thought it was a new one at first. I had already purchased another one (same as one being repaired) because I like how light weight and simple made it is and I have had more expensive pool cleaners and there is not much difference in how they clean.

I have an about e ground pool and this product works very good. In my opinion it is way better than my previous pool cleaner which ran through the skimmer. This product is great and very simple to set up and clean. Highly recommended.

The best thing I ever bought for my pool. I will never go without one.

Use for my over groung pool24' eound pool

I wish I would have purchased this pool cleaner when I bought the pool best purchase ever!!!!

I'm a little OCD, so it drives me nuts that it doesn't go in straight rows. This is a FANTASTIC unit. We have fine silt. The vacuum was able to remove the bottom sediment from the aboveground pool in two sessions.

Doesn't require using your pool pump or pool filter system as you just plug it into 110v power and drop in the pool. This is a must have if you own an Intex pool for sure as no other pool cleaner will work other than Intex brand with their pool filter system. My only complaint is the power cord doesn't swivel and tangles up during use but not a big problem.

The media could not be loaded. I've been fighting green algae blooms in our new 27' above ground here in Florida and it's due to me not having the time to stand around manually vacuuming daily or even weekly. I just need the bottom of the pool to stay clean to avoid having to deal with expensive chemical solutions later on. I have previously purchased some different variations of pool cleaners which you may see in my reviews profile, so I've been let down, but this Dolphin is the machine I was looking for and didn't know existed until recently. The machine itself is pretty light ( I'm 6'1 230lbs ) so take my opinion of 'light' subjectively, the cord is long enough to stretch across our 27' pool and still have some slack, and the filter that comes with it does a great job of cleaning up so far as far as I'm concerned. I'm very happy to see not only does it suck up some of the algae and leaves at the bottom of the pool, but it has also picked up small pebbles and sand that I really wasn't expecting to see in the basket after my first use. I did purchase the fine filter basket and I'll update later on how that changes things for me, but so far, WOW is all I can say. This isn't going to get every single nook and cranny, but it will make its way up the side of the lower wall just enough to get the hard spots that aren't easy to brush, it's going to save you LOTS of time, and it auto shuts off after a while so it doesn't just stay running all day long. Cleaning the filter basket is pretty easy. I have this little robot running about 15 minutes after taking it out of the box and plugging it in. I'm sold on this little gadget.

This works as advertised. We had a robo cleaner that would not pick up the dust on the bottom, it just stirred it up, and would resettle after an hour or so. The basket is easier to clean than the filter bags on our old robo cleaner. Wish I would have bought this five years ago, it would have saved me hours trying to vacuum with the pole and vacuum head.

Finally I found an above ground pool vacuum that works. It is pricey but worth it. I have bought so many different vacuums that utilized the pool suction and wasted so much money. This one works on its own and picks up all the leaves and larger debris. You do have to purchase the separate filter to pick the fine particles but it is worth not having to stress with a subpar vacuum. I would recommend this vacuum.

This is a great vacuum. Runs all over the pool bottom if you have a problem with leaves and such this is the vacuum for you. It doesn't really work that great for me, as I don't have many trees. I wanted a vacuum that cleaned up the powder that settles to the bottom of my pool after shocking. I bought the $80 small particles filter addon and all I get is a cloudy pool. I am in the return window but have found that they will only return 50% that seems extreme to me. I used it twice now both times went from clear pool to cloudy.

The Dolphin is exactly what I was looking for. Its user friendly, cleans easily and has great suction power. My only issue is the blue power cord, it (the blue cord) wraps around it self sometimes so the Dolphin only cleans one end of the pool more than the other. Additionally, the Dolphin frequently wraps itself around the ladder to get into the pool, so I have learned you have to raise up the ladder when cleaning. Overall, I am happy with the product. Thank you.

As long as you use the ultra fine basket it’s great at picking up algae off the pool bottom.

This is our third year with Robbie the Robot (yes, we named our pool cleaner). This device is easy to use, efficient and easy to clean. I waited so long to enter a review because I noted that some folks said it broke within a year. We take good care of Robbie. This is a sophisticated electronic device that needs to be kept out of the elements. During the winter we keep it in the basement. Freezing may injure the electronics. During the summer we keep it out of the direct sunlight and intense heat when not in use. Note that it may take a couple of sessions to clean the pool. Also, it seems to learn the pool over time and has improved in even climbing the walls of our above ground pool over the years. We love our Robbie.

Well worth the money. A great time saver. Extremely powerful. Easy to use. I can sum it up in one word AMAZING.

UPDATE: July 15, 2022 - Now incredibly disappointed...this robot started out sucking up EVERYTHING, and now it's leaving a TON of dirt in my pool. The suction seems to have died off for some reason. I ran it 5 times now, and it's to the point where I'm going to have to find another way to clean my pool. What a HUGE waste of money. UPDATE: July 3, 2022 - I have now owned this for a little over a week and have used it 3 times...it picks up fine fine dirt and sand in my Florida above-ground pool. It's amazing how much! Since there is home construction going on all around me, I usuall have to run it 2-3 times for it to get everything. There was one issue when I think the unit was overheating and stopped working (it gets HOT when it runs), and once I cooled it off it was fine. I did NOT have it in the sun AT ALL. I don't know if I have the fine mesh filter, but it seems to do a great job. Also, I think a lot of the cord issues are resolved, since they have a float on the cord to keep the cord above the unit. Sometimes its movements are unexplained--it "wheelies" to change direction, and sometimes attempts to climb the walls 3-4 times before continuing. I am assuming this is normal, since it seems to cover most if not all of the pool. So far still giving this 5 stars. I've only had this for 3 days now, but my pool is sparkling clean. Granted, I only have an 18' above-ground pool, but it's clean. I love this robot. It was very dirty initially, so took 4-5 rounds to clean completely. It picked up large items and a lot of sand and dirt (I'm in Florida). It does "wheelies" when it's turning itself, and climbs partially up the wall, but only as far as the length of the unit. Since many here have had problems after a few months or a year, I will come back and update this review as necessary. I am very happy so far with this item.

I love everything about this pool vac. I intentionally didnt clean my pool for 2 weeks prior to receiving the dolphin e10… my pool was gross! Within the first 90 minutes the pool was cleaner than I ever got it with a brush! And the vinyl pool bottom does have that slimmy feel anymore! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product. Very well made and super easy to use, just throw it in and push the on button. No hoses to mess with.

The media could not be loaded. Loved it from the start. I did run it 2 cycles to make sure it got everything. Stole the idea from another review, my husband took a broom stick and screwed in a C shape bike hook into it. This makes it so easy to grab by the handle and pull out.Pool sparkles. We have a 24' round but the liner has creases. It caught it all. So had to reduce to 4 stars, we have used this 2 times in 4 days. Next day all dirt is back. This is with it covered with solar cover. So yes I will be spending $45 more to buy the ultra fine filter. I agree with other reviews for a $500+ item it should come with the ultimate fine filter. Shame on you Maytronics do better. Plus the part is not easily available.

I am so glad I purchased this. Saves on water and cleans the crap from the cedar trees on the south side of my property.

This vacuum is the monster trucks of all pool vacuums. Love it. Does a great job and super easy to use and clean.

We LOVE this pool vacuum with the caddy. We put her in the pool, She runs her cycle, take her out of the pool easy clean filter and we are swimming! After seeing this product in action at the pool store the summer of 2021. I did not purchase it because of the sticker price. So I spent the summer 2021 manually vacuuming more than enjoying being in the pool. Best purchase I've ever made for the pool!!! Purchased it May of 2022 This machine changed it all! Works great even without the fine filter. Easy peasy....Happy Swimming 😊

I have a 24', 15,000 Gal saltwater oval above ground pool. I've had previously two AquaBot Pool Rovers that have been outstanding with their bad filters. The saltwater takes it's toll and both have died. The Rovers have been discontinued so I went with the E10. Our deck and pool are surrounded by large oak trees. The trees produce dust and debris that sinks to the bottom of the pool. The standard filters work on leaves, acorns, sticks etc. It does not work on the dust or the fine particles which forms black balls on the bottom of the pool. I purchased at an extra cost on Amazon the Ultra Fine Filters to do the job. They are about $80. But a necessary upgrade. That's why I gave the E10 a rating of 3 because these filters should be included. Other than that; I've been pleased.

We love this automatic vacume ... it does a great job on our 24foot pool

Create product for the money. Cleans my 30 foot oval in one cycle

Would give it a 5?star but doesn’t come with fine filters

One of the tracks has discolored as you can see in the pictures. Hopefully not a material quality issue with that track. It is stored on a shelf after it dries off. Only outside while in pool running then cleaned and put in garage to dry.

I just put it in pool and it works. The only drawback is you don’t need to pull it out by the cord so you will get wet

This thing is amazing. I have been looking for a couple of years and just couldn't pull the trigger. Well I finally did and so glad. This thing works like a charm. I did in fact buy the ULTRA FINE filter that is available extra and Its well worth the purchase as well. If I could give it 10 stars I would. It does not clean the water line like it says but it still does a great job at what it does. Nothing wrong with the filter that comes with it we just have small particulates that loves to get in the pool and the ULTRA FINE takes care of them like a breeze. I am not Sponsored to give this review and most of the time I read a lot of them before I buy that the reason for me writing this one. This thing is great. Don't Hesitate its well worth the purchase

Saves me so much time!

I struggle to find time to vacuum the pool regularly due to my long hours at work. I finally decided to get a robotic vacuum and this one had great reviews across many sites. I can't believe how easy this is! Plug in and let it go, and in about an our and a half, the floor and lower part of the sides are all cleaned up. Cleaning the basket in the vacuum is a breeze. Worth every penny if you need the extra help to vacuum regularly. For reference, I have an above ground pool that is 18ft round and 54 inches deep with a deck mounted ladder. We have several large trees, so tree debris is consistently in the pool. I skim daily, or more often as needed. This vacuum will help me maintain 2-3X weekly vacuuming of the bottom.

Swimming pool

The bottom of my pool looks great.

Works good but loses traction and tracks just spin, I’m going to try to add more weight to see if that helps. Overall it does a good job cleaning

As a 65 year old single woman I was worried about getting a new pool b/c I always had to clean our old one years ago. It was a lot of work. But I got a new pool and this little gem and it is so easy!! It does a great job , even sweeps the sides and just quits when finished. Even if it would only last one season it is worth it as far as I'm concerned!! I did buy the extra fine filter as well. It really cleans all of the dust that settles on the bottom.

Money well spent. Paid for itself in a short time.. much better than pool company coming to clean my pool

The media could not be loaded. My initial run of the E10 didn't seem to work properly so I reached out to customer service and within 24 hours was getting back to me. After several emails back and forth, I got a much better understanding of the robot and has been working as intended. In case you're wondering as well, the algorithm operating the robot is randomized, so it most likely will not end its cycle where it started. I had thought it would come "home" although there are so may factors for it to lose it's orientation. I have been using this for 3 weeks now and probably have saved myself 6 hours of pool cleaning time. For me, this is worth every penny spent.

Tried a different brand that was a couple hundred cheaper, but it just pushed around the algae, making the water turn green. This machine picks up everything, including algae! Easy to use and clean! Worth the purchase! The picture is after we dumped out the basket, you can see the trapped algae!

I gave this machine a poor rating and here's why. For starters I felt it was ridiculously expensive. And I definitely did not appreciate being told .......Here's our machine. By the way You should spend an additional $100 to get a better basket. A pool vacuum that runs 600 plus dollars should Be a first class machine right out of the Box. Next the teardrop stairway in my pool seemed to distress this cleaner. I tried starting the vacuum in different areas of my pool. Yet there was one strip of my pool bottom that leads from the stairway to the other side of the pool that it did not clean. It did not clean that 1 strip of pool bottom any of the at least 20 times i tried. I called customer service for some assistance. I was surprised at the response. I was offered a phone number that would lead to a Tech. I was told this Tech would explain how to disassemble the front portion of the machine to make adjustments. Using these adjustments I could experiment to see if I would be capable of making the machine work better. Maybe it's me but here again. For 600 bucks I don't feel I should Have to start wrenching on this to get it to do its job. I was also concerned about the warranty implications. Also It consistantly left a couple of spots of dirt here and there on the bottom. Next I felt the vacuum spent and extraordinary amount of time cleaning the pool wall. Maybe I'm wrong but if you're swimming in your pool there shouldn't be dirt on the wall. My pool is 18x33. I have owned it for 30 years. In that time I've never had A problem With dirt on the pool wall that warrented purchasing a machine to clean it. In the end Let me say this. When I placed the order for my dolphin pool vacuum I was very excited to receive it. I felt I did everything I could to address The problem areas. I also feel I worked hard not to jump to conclusions. Instead I gave myself time to adjust to to operating This new machine. I also reached out for technical support. My decision to return this machine came down to price versus performance. Plainly put. In my opinion this machine is not worth its price tag. 60 days ago for notably less money I purchased a Robo Kleen. In my application it has outperformed the dolphin each and every time I've used it. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope it helps you. Sincerely Henry

Could not be easier to vacuum your pool. Ease to run and even easier to clean.

Are used lots of above ground automatic pool cleaners but this is by far in a class by itself if you’re unsure about spending the money on an automatic cleaner because you’ve been shafted before I promise you your money will be well spent with this I’m a shopper and I’m one of those people who is very very careful with my finances I saved for this cleaner watch the reviews and it is one of those pool cleaners that you can plug in set it in the water walk away and expect your pool to be clean because I promise you it does an amazing job best thing I’ve ever used my pool pump was down for a couple of days the start of the season and it took care of nearly cleaning all of my pool all by itself this is an amazing product I recently opened it so I haven’t used it very long hopefully the longevity of it will be good but let me tell you it is definitely worth the money I love it

I replace an old system with this one and it has been great! Cleans really well and it is easily cleaned when done!

Purchased this vacuum for an indoor pool at a hotel. Inexperienced operator is able to use with little training and makes his job less time demanding

Easy to use...just make sure when you pull it out...rinse it right away..don't let it dry out

I love this vacuum, I really sucks, for real! It is so easy to use and does such a great job. The only negative is that it gets heavy to lift out of our above ground pool because it fills with water. Otherwise it is perfect.

This vacuum is worth every penny. It's easy to use, clean and makes vacuuming my pool a breeze. Gets all the debris at the bottom of the pool. It's well built and easy to remove from the pool lets the water out but not the mess it vacuums up! And yes it does climbs walls past the cove! I've seen it!

This bot is a life saver. My wife and I put this in the pool routinely because we have a lot of trees in our yard. This bot picks up more than I expected. Cleans the pool thoroughly. An absolute time and energy saver. I highly recommend to get!! You will not regret it. We ordered the warranty also which had great reviews.

Fairly lightweight in comparison to others. Only used a couple times but it seems to do a fairly good job. Things we like... it will go from the floor to about 1/2 way up the wall. Other units wouldn't do this. It moves faster and covers more ground when compared to our last cleaner. The basket is very easy to clean and the single large collection basket easily comes out, empty easily.

Quite

This thing does it job so far!!

Awesome vacuum for my above ground pool. Definitely recommend buying does the job.

Finally broke down and got one of these. A friend recommended the brand. Very happy with this purchase. Does a great job - easy to clean

Hands down best vacuum I’ve used. I wish I never wasted my money on all the other things I’ve tried that I’ve struggled with getting a pristine bottom. Machine arrived today and the floor of my pool doesn’t even have a speck of sand much less any dead bugs. So happy! It wasn’t cheap but so easy to use. Just needed to plug it in. Highly recommend!

Easy to use. Works great. Gets pool clean

This robot is awesome. While it takes 2 hours to complete a pool cleaning, it doesn't need attended to while it's doing so. Throw it in at lunchtime and by late afternoon take it out and jump into a clean pool. This thing cleans awesome even without the fine filter and has done a good job at picking up pollen, insects, dirt and leaves. Also remember there is no rhyme or reason to the direction it goes but if you watch the videos, it does cover the entire pool. I believe purchasing this product is money well spent.

As the title of my review states.... I'm not impressed. My pool is above ground vinyl 12 x 24. The majority of the debris on the bottom of my pool is very fine dirt the blows in from Africa in the summer. This thing sucks like a banshee with the surface of the pool boiling from the exhaust. Problem one is that 50% or more of the vacuumed dirt passes thru the filter and after the vacuum turns off an hour later it's settle back on the bottom. Problem two: there is a 4 x 4 area on one end that no matter how many times I run it, the vacuum never passes over that spot. For those reasons, I give this vacuum a 3 out of 5 rating.

Needs a better filter product out of the box. Shouldn’t have to buy special filters to pick up small particles. Cost another $75.00 to buy filter inserts.

I’ve had my dolphin for over a year now. I was amazed at how good this thing cleaned my pool last year. Now that I’ve opened up the pool again, with a bunch of algae and debris on the bottom, I put this thing back to work and remembered how amazing it is, and had to come back with a review. I had two cheaper battery powered cleaners before this one, and both stopped working after a couple uses. This is easily worth every penny, and along with my skimmer keeps my pool maintenance free. I use it with an 18 x 9 Intex.

The media could not be loaded. This is the second year with the Intex 32x16x48 soft sided pool. Cleaning the pool seemed like we were always doing it. This year we bought this vacuum and so far, it’s been the best thing we’ve bought for our pool, plus we don’t mind cleaning it as much. Cleaning it is very minimal. So, unless, this thing does a 360, I’m very impressed by the suction it has and how it climbs the side of the soft sided walls. It picks everything up from the bottom and leaves it clean. We use it at least twice a week to ensure easy cleaning. We opened the pool a couple of months ago, but are just now getting in it. This thing helps with circulation. As big as our pool is, it really needs another jet, so this vacuum helps keep it all circulating.

We have an 18ft round above ground pool. It takes about 1.5 hrs to run the cycle. The one cycle leaves dirt behind. We make it run 2 cycles so that it gets everything clean.

I use this on an 18 foot round above ground pool and I really like it. I added a Polishing Filter Pad 50 Micron for fish tanks around the edges of the inner canister and it removed the fine particles very well. No need to spend extra money for an expensive fine filter.

For years we used the Intex pool robots, which connect to the pump. We have a 3500gph sand filter pump and it was just not moving the thing around enough. It would always clean one side of the pool fairly decently, but never get to the other side because of the hose that would coil up. And if your pool bottom isn't flat, it'll get stuck real easy. Also, because it is propelled by water pressure from the pump, it blows all the dirt that settled on the bottom around, making it harder to clean. This Dolphin though is a game changer! It does not get stuck on bumps and dips because of its caterpillar design and does not blow the dirt around when it moves. And the waste basket is pretty sizable too. After the winter storm, my live oak lost most of it leaves... Into the pool... I took a bunch out with a net, but that also moves the rest of the leaves around it , so they would have to settle again to scoop up more. So I put Mo (get it? From the movie Wall-E) to work and he sucks them up like nobody's business! The robot runs about 90 minutes at a time, but with the pool in its current state, I have to clean it out about every 20-30 minutes because the basket will be full of leaves. The basket is real easy to clean with a garden hose. I stick the basket back in, drop Mo in the pool again, start it and off it goes again, filling up another basket! My only (small) complaint is, when I lift it out of the pool, it loses a bunch of small particles from the basket, but I think that is mainly because it is full and the little door doesn't fully close because there are leaves stuck in it. But I think once the pool has been rid of leaves, that is probably less likely to happen. Overall a big thumbs up and I would highly recommend this over the pool manufacturer's product!

Don’t know why we waited so long to get a robot pool cleaner. Cleans our pool great. Easy to use and clean. Just plug in and drop it in the pool, press power and walk away. Only negative was I had to google the operating manual because it didn’t come with any instructions.

This is my third pool cleaner and it is by far the best. It does a great job cleaning. Highly recommend it.

Very eay set up

Love the robotic pool vacuum. Easy to use and our pool has never been cleaner!

This vacuum is easy to use and does an amazing job. Well worth every penny, my pool has never been so clean. I would recommend buying this for cleaning your pool. We had a tree that had to be cut down over our pool. There was sawdust everywhere, pool cover actually ripped as I was trying to get the sawdust off the cover. Sawdust got all in the water. Withing 45 minutes and 4 empty baskets pool.was back to being spotless. Vacuum does a great job, couldn't really be happier with it.

Works great. Does a very good job on my 30ft above ground pool. I did have to purchase the fine filter basket to really get all the fine sediment up. Saves me 2 hours per week of manually vacuuming. I usually run it through two cycles every Saturday morning and it get 98% of everything up

Our old pool cleaner needed constant watching as it would get stuck in certain parts of the pool. It would also clean the same spot over and over ignoring the rest of the pool. This cleaner has none of those issues. Our pool was a mess and after the 3rd time it was looking much better.

I purchased this above ground pool cleaner after a very negative experience with a battery operated unit (which got returned to the seller two weeks after it was purchased) 1)Yes, it costs a little more than twice what the battery operated unit does 2) Yes, it has a cord and must be plugged in to use 3) Yes, it is a bit heavier then the battery operated unit BUT THE DARN THING WORKS LIKE ITS ADVERTISED TO DO!

Better than expected!!!

This cleaner is easy to use and clean very fast.

To really clean your pool, you’ll need to also purchase the basket for the microscopic material $80. This should be sold with the vacuum itself, because it doesn’t actually clean your pool without it. However, with this filter you Will be satisfied with this product.

I got this vacuum at Christmas started using it in the spring and it is a lifesaver it shuts off when it’s done and you clean the filter when you’re ready and then send it on its way again it stays in the pool almost 24 seven

Purchased this unit under advice from other pool owners. Cleaned our entire 27' pool in an hour and worked very well. Saves time and our previous personal efforts!

Works great if all you have is leaves. This is probably not the best if you get ‘a lot of dirt’(like in West Tx.) It stirs it up more than it contains, and that’s with the extra fine basket too.

Very nice vacuum but definitely pricey.

I am very happy with this vacuum! It is so easy to use and very easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with the vacuum getting stuck and it picks up even the smallest particles I didnt know were on the bottom of my pool! Highly recommended!

Easy to use, is heavy to lift out of pool, cleans, but everytime there is always one area or another that it does not get too, i have 21 ft above ground pool. Last one lasted only a year, i am trying this 1 more time

My dad loved it

This is such a wonderful product. Ordered the ultra fine basket also and that was even better

This machine works wonders, is easy to clean, and seems to be incredibly well built. It gets EVERYTHING on the bottom of the pool. Incredibly happy with my purchase.

This is my second Dolphin purchase. First vacuum lasted many years.

We had a 12x24 foot above ground pool installed. I do not like vacuuming the pool. I read the reviews online for above ground pool cleaners and decided to give the Dolphin E10 a shot. This robotic pool clean is great. Cleans only the bottom of the pool in one cycle. Ours came with ultra fine filter basket which contains everything it vacuums up. I highly recommend the Dolphin E10 robotic pool vacuum.

Cleans great and it’s so easy to operate

Works good but I did have to buy the ultra fine filter basket which they should let you choose which basket you need instead of making you buy another one. If your looking to get pollen, dirt and alge out of your pool make sure and get the ultra fine filter basket since it just comes with a leaf basket.

It is great however it cannot go up the walls (fiberglass pool)

So simple to use and cleans so well. We have a 16x32 foot pool. This makes it spotless in 90 minutes! Easy to clean the filter. We have issues with pine needles and this picks them up! Well worth the price for us!

Does your pool cleaning for you!

Absolutely amazing!!! Worth every penny. It has made having an above ground pool low maintenance & allows us more time to enjoy the pool. We are living in an RV on our land & currently run the pool pump & Dolphin off a generator each day - until we get electricity. The Dolphin is a game changer!!

Had to purchase the finer mesh basket, but after that I love it!

Seems to cover and clean my entire 22 x 52 Intex pool. Very impressed. Using the standard leaf filter that came with it. May vet the sediment filter later, if needed. To early to see if it was worth the money. With good care hope to get at least 5 year usage.

Very powerful!!

Easy to use and works well! I happy I made the purchase! I use twice a week gets pool spotless

I have run the bot about 8 times in the last week. It has done an excellent job cleaning the pool. It will clean the walls if they are graduated, but it will not climb walls with a 90 degree angle to the floor. Overall I am very satisfied with this product.

Should have done this at season open. I’ve spent over a month and $800 for a pool cleaning company who somehow never could fully clean the pool. Just under $600 and this has cleaned more in two days than they have in 6weeks.

Love the crystal clean look and makes my life easier.

This was definitely worth paying the extra money for. Bought a cheaper machine and it was useless, should have saved my money and got this one in the first place. This little guy saves us so much time. Our pool bottom is always clean of debris and algae. And it even goes up the side walls a little and cleans that well. Cleaning out the trap is super easy also. Best thing we have bought for our pool maintenance so far!

Not as good as I thought it would be. Bad investment. Waste of money.

I have a 27th foot above ground pool and this works great my only complaint is the cord gets all wrapped up

For the price works great and even climbs walls!

We were disappointed in the small above ground pool cleaners so this summer we upgraded to this robot. So worth it despite the expense. Easy to operate. Close the top door, sink in the water, and let it run. Once clean, open the door, rise our the debris and filter basket and ready for next cleaning.

My pool was all cruddy on the bottom from an algae bloom…ran it two cycles and it scrubbed all the crud from the bottom and also some tree debris from storms…next day water was crystal clear…easy to clean and what a time saver!!! Very impressed so far!!

First time used and was superb. Covered entire bottom of my 30x15 above ground no problem and even claimed the walls once in a while even though it is not supposed to. Was impressed on how much gunk it caught when the pool didn't even look dirty. Loved that the cable doesn't get tangled up. Hope that it keeps performing as well into the season.

The principle advantage of using this vacuum is that you dump it in and come back 2 hours later. This drastically reduces the need to manually vacuum the pool, which is time consuming and annoying. It did did not completely free us from the task of manual cleaning, but I'm a realist and that's to be expected. Overall, I like this vacuum and the results of its use throughout the season were good. Some observations: 1) Be sure the waste basket is in fully inserted and the top 'clicks' in place. I ran it once after a previous run and although the top was closed, the basket was not in all the way. As a consequence, dirt just got spread everywhere. 2) What is the best way to retrieve the vacuum? Whilst it says not to retrieve the vacuum using the cable, finding a hook and pole suitable, with the right fit to match the handle, is tricky. The unit should come with an easier way to retrieve it. I could not find ANY pool supplier that sold a non-metal hook-pole device that was safe and suitable. I ended up using a rejigged clothes hanger! 3) This is not a smart device. It just randomly, and somewhat crazily, runs around the pool. It works well and running it frequently is beneficial. Setting it up is easier than setting up for manual vacuuming. Some additional smartness, in this price range, would be welcome. 4) Young children and adults may find it amusing to watch. Bonus entertainment value.

Wish I woulda bought this thing a loooong time ago. Can’t beat it

The Dolphin does a great job, the upgrade filter is great

I love this pool cleaner and am so glad to have it.

I have zero regrets about purchasing this robot. I call him Bob. I have a 16x32 in-ground pool and he does a great job. Definitely invest in the socks for the basket. That way you will catch every particle that comes by. I love him so much I actually had the thought this year....maybe I should get a second one :)

Program inside need repaired 2 ft forward then stop and back 2 ft then stop later got hit wall then back but sometime short need repaired inside I had to returned and got refund and bought again same one this stuff great ..

I love this thing and can't believe I didn't get it sooner!! The only problem I have is getting it out of the pool because it's full of water, but I just have my husband or son get it out. Great vacuum!!

Works very well, cleans entire pool 1st time

I really don’t give reviews but I would have to say that this unit works great. Makes me wonder for the last 4 years owning my pool what I have been swimming in after I empty the basket. This machine doesn’t leave anything behind. You will not be disappointed with your purchase. 5 stars

We bought this to replace our old dolphin and it works great. So much easier to clean with the filters! It’s great for daily use! Nice to have the option to use the bag when there is a lot of debris, though. Would recommend this to anyone.

The Dolphin E10 is a fantastic buy for anyone with a large pool. I have a vinyl 26'x12x52" pool. It cleans the bottom and sides. Love it!

This is my first pool robotic cleaner. So far I am really happy with it. I did get the extra fine filter for it, but the one that it came with is very good too. As of now I don't have anything negative to say about it. I hope it holds up for a long time.

This pool vacuum is worth the money. My pool has never looked so clean. It is easy to use and very effective. I read some of the other reviews where people said to purchase the fine mesh filter. I think the one that comes with this does an excellent job!

We have an above ground 22’ pool. Just used it for the first time today. Easy to set up and put in the pool. We had some sand, leaves, debris in the bottom and it cleaned every spot. We’ve tried other vacuums in the past that didn’t work and this by far blew our minds. Worth the money!

This is so easy to use and reduces all your maintenance! Get ultra fine basket too ! We got caddy cause we have no deck yet if you have deck you could store without caddy

This is a great vacuum! I bought it for my above ground 18’ soft sized Coleman pool. No filter attachments or anything needed. Just plug into an outlet, drop in the pool, and hit a button. I bought the ultra fine basket for it as well for any sand/dirt that gets in there. The regular basket does very well. I typically run the basket that comes with it once daily, and the ultra fine basket twice a week right after running the regular one through once. Above pictures show before and after one cycle with the stock basket after a storm that came through and dropped a ton of leaves in. It’s super quick and easy to clean. Just hose off the vacuum itself and hose off the filters. Make sure to hose the filter immediately after pulling it out to prevent the debris from drying on there. If the cord starts to tangle too much from storage, lay it straight out in the sun for a few hours to get it straightened out. I have not had one issue with the cord tangling up. I do remove all toys and the ladder from the pool while running it. Also be sure to toss the whole cord in before you begin rather than allowing the vacuum to “pull” the cord in. I waited to write this review after the season was over. This is going in my second season with it now and it’s done a wonderful job and makes my pool maintenance job super easy. I would highly recommend it.

Does a great job cleaning bottom of pool. Easy to use.

Easy to use.

I love this pool vacuum . I have had mine for 2 years and I use it all year long . I live in florida so We use the pool a lot . If it was to break today I would order another one .

I love my pool vacuum I didn’t enjoy to try hooking up the hose to the jet this just makes life so easy I just drop it in the morning in an hour the whole pool is cleaned we have a 24 foot round above ground definitely worth it in my opinion.

Cleans so good. Only issue was it went behind the ladder and wrapped itself around the ladder. I took a storage tub and drilled holes in it. I put it behind the ladder and it hasn’t tangled since. Filter is very easy to clean.

So far so good

OUR POOL WAS A DISASTER TOOK A WHILE BUT IT CLEANED IT ALL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy start, works great, no need to watch, very easy to deploy and clean

Very simple to use and clean. Filter picks up algae and everything else on the bottom of the pool.

Sit back and let this amazing machine clean your pool hands free, drop it in and go do what you have to do, the pool will be cleaning your bottom of the pool and your gonna be amazed!!

The media could not be loaded. So I have an Intext 28 ft by 12 ft above ground pool. I left the cover off all winter and it was so full of dirt it was crazy. I had left about half the water in just below the pump lines. I thought about emptying it completely and scrubbing it clean but I thought let's see what this Robot could do. I thought about ordering the more expensive one but thought I would just try this one. I am not going to lie it took about 6 times to fully clean it. It never would finish as the basket would get full first. Once it was mostly clean I switch to the fine basket I ordered with it. It finished and it's crazy how clean it was. I took a video of it before I cleaned it and I just realized you can only post one video so I will take some pictures of it clean in the morning when its light. Some people have said it does not climb walls...it does for me sometimes it makes it halfway up the side sometimes all the way to the water level and it cleans the algae off the sides with the scrubber. I was not expecting it to climb walls so that was a great surprise. I have 4.5-foot walls. I made my own custom deep end to make it 1 foot deeper so its 5.5 in the deep end. It goes down in the deep end, and then back up no problem. I had one of those stupid so-called robot vacumes before that hooks up to the pump and it sucked. It sometimes leaves a tiny bit of dirt in the corners but hardly any. I just sweep that up and my skimmer picks it up. I really could not be happier with this. I had one of the dirtiest pools ever and it cleaned it. I run it twice a week now and it keeps it super clean.

I ordered this a couple months back and just now got to try it out. This thing is cool!! It is so easy to use. Easy directions. Just pretty much right or off the box, plug it up and drop it in, push the button. It even went up the sides of my pool and scared me at first because I thought, Omgggg it's gonna flip right over on its back lol nope! It just eased right back down and kept on trucking. This is my first pool and wanted to find something easy and low maintenance to help keep my pool sparkling clean. And I did not want those stupid vacuums you have to get in the pool and connect hoses to this and that. That's just more work then I want to bother with. Ain't nobody got time for that lol I use to have to do that in my parents pool years ago and that was a pain in the you know what. I have only used this once but it worked great. I just pray it last me a good long time because it is pricey. I'm so glad I got this. I have a 24'x54" above ground pool with vinyl liner. I know some people were asking if it worked on vinyl. Also the cord is great, did not get tangled up. Love this thing. Allows me freedom from having to spend hours cleaning before swimming. I used it in the evening so it wasn't in the sun and it would be ready for swimming tomorrow because directions said don't swim in the pool while unit is working. Also, after you start it, the unit will run for about 1 1/2 and stop but the power button will still be on. I didn't know this at first. Thought it broke until I read another review. So I believe in reading Lots of reviews lol

The media could not be loaded. Best vacuums ever, it helped us clean the pool very well this year , to avoid it stuck to the ladder , I just adjust the wire length so it wo t go under the ladder .

I read multiple reviews for this cleaner and decided to pull the trigger and I can honestly say this is by far the best cleaner for my above ground pool I have ever tried and I've tried many. It works great and very easy to use wish I would have bought this years ago.

We have 30' pool and it takes running it twice (3-4 hours) to get most of the pool clean. We purchased the extra fine filter hoping it would clean up the fine partial. Seems like for the price of this unit, both filters should be included. It does a pretty good job but the floor is never completely clean. The best part of this is it is easy to used and much better than our other automatic vacuum that has to use pool filter.

this E10 robot clean my 30+ feet above ground pool great. would recommend.

My wife bought this for me 10 days ago as a Father's day gift. At first I did not know what to expect. I've always had to hook up a hose to the skimmer, grab the vacuum and get to work. Here is what I will tell you. I opened the box, dropped it in, turned it on and after 2 runs, my 24ft round was clean. You turn it on and walk away. I have used it every day. Not sure why folks are complaining about tangles, I haven't had it tangle a single time. After every use take it out and wrap the cord appropriately and you'll be fine. Think of the old phones with a 10 foot cord from the 80's, after every call you let the phone hang for a couple spins and it never really got tangled. If you never did the spin effect and let it go, it would turn into a knot, same concept. If you are debating whether or not to get it, if you have the money do it. Trust me you will not be disappointed. The product is very well built and the quality is solid. I read some of the reviews and had also ordered the ultra fine filter. To my surprise, I don't even need it. The filter it comes with was perfect and picks up all sand and dirt. Make sure you drop it in and let it hot the bottom before you turn it on. It is super quiet. I would highly recommend this product.

We love it so far. We were so impressed by the amount of fine particles it picked up with the standard filter it comes with. We did order the ultra fine filter separate, so we will try it out as well. Our pool was very dirty with dead algae after shocking, so I feel we were able to really test it out. I will update our review after several uses.

I was a little skeptical that this would be able to pick up all of the debris but it actually did an amazing job. It also climbs the walls and performs little wheelies which the grandkids find amusing!!!!!!

So happy we bought this for our above ground pool. So easy to use and clean. If you are on the fence about spending the money go ahead and buy it you will not regret it!!!!

Easy to use. Like that the pool is cleaned without going through the filter. Only issue is that when the vacuum starts up it stirs up the debris on the floor of the pool but once the cloud settles it does a good job of cleaning the pool

It does a decent job cleaning my above ground pool but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else that has an above ground or lined pool. Not worth the money. I had such high hopes for this too. Unfortunately I threw the box away too soon so I can't return it. 😕

Let me start by saying I read a million product reviews for a million kinds of automatic vacuums and handhelds alike. I noticed Dolphin had better reviews than most. I'm ashamed to admit that I'm using this on a 16' Intex above ground . The pool itself was $200. The after market pump was $250. This vacuum was twice the cost of the pool. I have a pool beneath a tree and I don't like to cover it. It's a pain in the ass to constantly fiddle with a cover. I have an Intex skimmer and it does an ok job. But I don't like to run pump constantly either. The way I do things requires a decent vacuum. I tried the Intex automatic vacuum and it was good for a season and failed this year. Same with the Intex vacuum that came with the deluxe maintenance kit. Down two vacuums after just a season, I was done buying cheap solutions. This vacuum took less than two minutes to get in the water and running. Its a good weight, sturdy, feels well built. It cleaned my pool bottom spotlessly in one cycle. Despite what people say, it did go up some of my pool sides. It does occasionally wheelie around. Removing it was simple, pull the cord until you can grab the handle. There's a simple push latch for topside filter access. Hosing the filter down is easy and pieces dettach from filter housing for further cleaning access . The track came off my unit one time. I put it back and haven't had a problem since. It was expensive compared to many other solutions. However, my pool is now the cleanest it has been and I don't have to fuss with covers, manual vacuums, attachments to pumps or hoses. Just plug it in, drop it in, and walk away. If you're reluctant, don't be. It's a great unit for an above ground pool. If you can afford it, it's worth the money for the sake of automation and simplicity.

Stopped working after about a month and being used a handful of times. Seller was no help, manufacturer wasn’t either. Not worth the hassle

I read all of the reviews, I borrowed a friends and used it and based on that I pulled the trigger and bought it. It works great! If you are a busy family and don’t always have hours to give to vacuuming your pool then YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS!!! Plug it in, put it in the water and come back periodically to check the filter. Or let it run it’s cycle then empty the filter and run it again just to get the fine sediment depending on how dirty your pool is. This thing actually climbs the walls even though it doesn’t claim to. I would highly recommend. It doesn’t come with any kind of self storage so consider buying a storage bin. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It is money we’ll spent and worth every penny in my opinion!

I think it’s value the money easy to Clean but only thing it’s a little slow other then that it’s great for you and your pool

What was I thinking last year when I passed on this purchase? Not making that mistake this year!!! If there is one thing we hate more than opening & closing of the pool is vacuuming it! Pulling out the hose & pole. Attach the vac head to pole. Now one person hold hose on return to fill hose w/water while another holds other end in skimmer until air is removed. Carefully attach hose to vac head without getting air into line. The entire time running the pool pump. $$ Now, plug in power cord, drop in robot & press button! That's it! Our teen daughter can put it in and out of the pool by herself. Pool does not need to be on! This robot saves time wasted standing in hot sun for hours setting up, vacuuming & putting away. It also does a better job! The picture is of our above ground pool. Showing the size (21ft), shape (round) and ladder. The Robot does an outstanding job cleaning the pool. Even alongside the ladder. The power cord does NOT get tangled or caught on ladder. Does the robot miss a spot? Occasionally, yes. But, it has never been in the same spot and is no more the size of a paper plate. After the robot completes it's cycle (approx. 1.5hrs) My wife and I walk out to the pool and high 5 each other for not only how good it cleaned but, the ease and time and money saved! Definitely recommend!!

Does a great job!

this robotic pool cleaner works great and is easy to use. makes pool ownership a job, put the robot in the pool and go about doing other things and in 1- 1/2 hours remove robot, clean the filter debris tray and your pool is ready to enjoy.

It's Five Stars with the Fine and Ultra Fine filters.

Bought for 12’x24’x52” above ground pool. Pool bottom had pollen, dirt & a little filter sand, a visual coating normally only removed by brushing & vacuuming multiple times. This awesome robot drove around leaving clean stripes in the dirt, until there was no more...AMAZING!! It climbs the walls all the way up to waterline. I bought the fine filter basket, but haven’t even needed to use it. The basket it comes with has done a great job of catching everything from fine dirt & yellow algae to gnats. I make sure to spray it down after each cycle & never let debris dry on it. My pool is crystal clear & the bottom is squeaky clean. It saved me hours of the usual work to get the pool open for the year. I had a Pool Rover before that I thought did a good job. It did not have a rotating brush & seemed to stay in one area & need to be manually moved during cycle for wide coverage. I always had to go in after it though to scrub walls, suck up sand with Intex pool vac & sweep fine dirt & pollen. The filter bags were a hassle to hose out. I had no idea there was something so much better out there! I’m sold on the Dolphin E10 robot! Wish I’d chosen it 6 years ago & saved tons of time & the cost of 3 Pool Rovers that had short life spans & an Intex vac with weak suction!

So easy to use and does at great job of vacuuming the pool!! Well worth the money spent

Machine appears to be durable, easy to put into operation, versatile, quiet but leaves a lot on the floor of the pool. Just my wife and I with light sand and it still doesn't pick it up completely...still have to vacuum by hand for the money I'm not that pleased with product.

I am so glad I purchased this vacuum. It’s blows away my other one , best money I ever spent.

I reviewed a lot of pool cleaners and saw the Dolphin E10 came highly recommended. I've used it approximately 10 times now. Yes, it is easy to set up and place into the pool. Yes, it is easy to remove from the pool and clean. What I find odd is that while the Dolphin is functioning in your pool, it does "wheelies"! It does say in the manual that this is normal. Okay. But while it is doing this wheelie, it is not suctioning the floor of the pool like it should be! On more than one occasion, the wheelie lasted through almost the entire length of the pool! A complete cleaning period last about an hour and a half. All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase of the Dolphin E10.

Only had this for a couple months. The inside screws are starting to rust. It cleans the pool pretty well I have an 18ft wide circle pool and it takes about 4-5 hours to successfully clean the entire pool. The filter thing is a pain in my A$$ you have to unscrew it to just switch the filter pad types so I have a cartridge and a ultra fine and It should be easy to adjust between the two.

Amazing ! Cleans great , easy to set up and easy to use .

This is a great product I highly recommend it if you are looking for one.

Having to buy the extra basket

This vacuum does a great job in my 30' above ground pool! I drop it in and let it do the work!!

Saves a lot of cleaning time for me!!! Wish I would have bought along time ago!!!!

The only reason I did not give a 5 Star rating is because only God is perfect. I have been manually sweeping my pool for 20 years...why did I not get one of these sooner? I did not even know that a self contained cleaning system was available. I must admit my pool was really dirty. We had taken a brief motorcycle trip over Labor Day weekend and came home to a dirty pool. Two days later it was not only dirty, but turning green. ICK! I ordered on Saturday after much research and it was delivered on Tuesday. Opened the box...read the Quick Start guide...plugged it in...dropped the dolphin in the pool and turned it on. I wish I had taken my phone out there with me...I watched as it made its first trip across the pool. I watched for a few more minutes and then walked away for a few...45 minutes later. I turned it off and pulled it up to check the filter. WOW! Lots of small debris and gunk. Swished the filter basket with the garden hose - clicked it back into the dolphin and began again. I left the dolphin running overnight - was not aware that it would quit when it was "done." How do it know? To say the least, we are very pleased! I will probably invest in the extra fine filters (I truly feel at this price it should be included)...overall a very strong review. Buy it!

I am so in love with this robot! Plug and go! Perfect for both my wife and boys to use regularly.

Just used mine today, got a 32x16 above ground that it was not that dirty but had some stuff ever since re-filled 3 weeks ago, so drop the cleaner in, watched it do its thing, it does willies and that is how it navigates, changes directions and do some wall climbing too, the cord was ok, no kinks or gotten on its way at all, it picked up 98% of palm needle stuff and other debris; used the cartridge that comes with it but I also bought the fine cartridge; this vacuum owned the floor like a boss then I decided to named it Paulie, after Paul Cicero from the movie Goodfellas! It got in charge of the pool bottom and did its job. So far i am happy, just hopes it last. The unit is very easy to operate, very pricey and to have a complete set the way it should be one will be expending in the extra cartridge and the caddy and cover; I think it should be offered as a combo and I saw one here for $629.00 for the robot, caddy and cover but still not fine particles cartridge. Once I use the fine particles cartridge will do an update but so far so good and Paulie is the new pool boss!

Love how it works in the pool, saves water by using it, just a little heavy to get out, I don’t have a deck yet. Very happy with it

This little girl is pricey... but she is worth every penny. Cleaning the pool is a near effortless joy with this vacuum! We have named her Rosie (after the maid on the Jetson's) and she is now a [ of the family. We have a 21 foot above ground pool, that is pretty close to the house and under several trees, so the pool gets lots of leaves. I got lazy over the winter and didn't cover the pool (we live in South Texas- gets too cold to swim, but no fear of freezing), and OMG the amount of leaves in the bottom of the pool was crazy- enough that it dang near filled up a yard trash bag in the end. We put her in and she went to work- we had to empty her packed full bucket about every 45 minutes at the start...and it was full of leaves and twigs and ball moss... and I mean packed- she kept right on eating as much as she could. Empty the basket and put her back in. Took a full day to get everything up, but she got it all. I do have the fine basket, but for this big stuff, I use the basket she came with until clean, then the fine basket. Can say enough how great it is to not have to attach the vacuum to the skimmer- the pool continues to skim while she vacuums, and you don't risk nastiness getting into the pool filter with her as they are completely separate! If anything ever happens to her, I have no hesitation getting another one!

Just get it. So easy. Does the job so you don’t have to. No tangle cord, great suction , easy to clean. Very happy. Had the junior rover prior to this … much better !!!!

The media could not be loaded. I had to open up my pool early this year due to the pool cover got ripped and fell into the pool so I decided to buy the Dolphin E10 because my pool was full of leaves it seems to be working great. Only issue is they say not to use an extension cord but I have no choice since the nearest plug is in my garage but I used a heavy duty outdoor extension and it works okay. They should take this into account and make a longer power cord.

We have an 18x30 above ground pool. Before I bought this gem I and or my wife would use the manual vaccuum that came with the pool or some cheap battery powered one. All a waste of time and money. This Dolphin vac is the single most wonderful pool accessory we have. Yes, it is not cheap, but the results are amazing. We used to spend hours cleaning the pool, now, all you do is put this vac in the pool, hit the button to turn it on and it cleans for two hours, then turns itself off. If it needs to go again which happens with storms etc., just hit the button again. The days of manually cleaning are over. It picks up everything from leaves to particles of whatever is falling from the trees. To empty the debris, there is a hatch on top, open it up, pull the basket out and empty either by hand, hose, or faucet, easy to clean. It never turns over, never gets tangled in the chord which is plenty long for our pool. I rarely give reviews but this item is a must if you’re not into wasting your life cleaning a pool.

My pool guy only comes to clean the pool once a week. A few time i needed to ask him to vacuum the pool, then, I considered to buy a robot. I went to a local pool supply retail. They was pushing me to buy a $1,200 one, but I couldn't tell why it would be better. My pool is a small kidney shape pool with a wok-like bottom. I can't imagine it needs any special features to clean it up. I read thru the feedbacks from different models, and different brands. I have decided to put a bet on this $500 robot. The first time I put this sucker to the pool, I noticed there was a clear trail wherever it ran. The cable did not tangle when it was running. It would not clean just one spot over and over. I do not need to schedule any jobs in advance, so the basic power supply is good enough. I think as long as I clean up the filter after every time I use, it will last a very long time.

Super easy to use and my pool has never been cleaner!

Works great! Definitely worth the money.

I absolutely love this vacuum. After years of struggling with my filter connecting vacuum we finally decided to buy a robot . It’s amazing !

Great product!!

Has made cleaning the pool so much easier!

Good suction. Easy cleaning

I have to update my review. I previously mentioned I was disappointed that this product was manufactured in the apartheid state of Israel, and I still am. But... this product works almost flawlessly. Totally cleans my pool well and has for a full season now. Easy to clean the filter. I'm going to get the improved filter once this one needs replacing. Only a couple of things I don't like, but these are manageable. First, when it runs, it turns around a few times, twisting the cord. After a few runs you need to untwist the cord which is not a huge deal. Another thing, it has a very bright blue led on the power supply that lights up the back yard at night. I installed a timer that turns it off each day at sunset. Great product, worth the $600-something I paid for it no question.

This machine cleaned everything that got in my pool. From twigs to small sand piles. Easy to set up and use. Suction power is good. You must clean the bucket and rinse sides with hose for optimum performance.

After years of manual cleaning the bottom of the pool, I got tired of the time spent, and went for this. Did some research of what model to get and finally ended with this one. I like the fact that I dont need to bring out a big hose and connect it to the pump. I just throw it in, connect the power (sucks about 100W when running) and walk away. It does stop by itself after about 90 minutes, FYI. Once done, pull it out, take out the filter, use your hose and rinse it off, let it dry, and you are good to go. I dont need to backwash my filter as much, saving water, which is a good thing. I do recommend running this once your pump is done for the day, so all sediment can land on the floor. It does not climb the walls, but it does give it a try, and sometimes makes some heights. The programming is random, kinda like an old school Roomba, so with a bigger pool, it might miss spots. I just tend to restart it every 90 minutes a couple of times, and its covered.

This vacuum has been awesome so far. So much easier than dealing with hoses. Easy to clean. I advise to inspect the roller each use to remove hair.

This thing is so powerful. It works great. I cannot not believe the amount of stuff that it sucks up and how quickly it does it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much on a pool vacuum but as my dad says "you get what you pay for," and this is totally worth every penny! Thank you!

So far an excellent machine. Really improved the water quality and cleanliness. I dont normally write reviews but "wally" is awesome pool cleaner.

The media could not be loaded. I am meticulous about keeping our pool clean and clear. Standing on the deck and using the old vacuum was a long and tedious task. Also, hooking up and submerging the hose was a pain too. This vacuum is super easy to connect, one plug and one hose. Then you simply set it in the water. It sinks down to the bottom, you press the ON button, and off he goes. I never timed how long it takes to clean cycle the whole pool but it doesn't really make a difference to me. We have a 24 foot above ground pool and our pool has never looked better. When it gets to the sides it will go up a bit on the cove area to get the edges. I tried to show that in the video but I'm not the best camera person. Well worth the money for the time and stress it takes out of keeping a clean pool.

Owning this vacuum is similar to owning a roomba. it does a good job, but not as good as if you were doing it by hand. I run my every morning - usually once with the standard filter and once with the upgraded filter, which is a separate purchase. I never have to vacuum my pool anymore, but I have to go out every day to run this a couple of times. When I enjoy it the most is after a storm. It gets those leaves cleaned up fast! It does get tangled in my ladder sometimes. Overall I am happy to own it, but don't think that it is going to change your life.

This vac is worth the price,it's a must have for pool owners!!!

Use mine in above ground and it’s amazing! Can actually enjoy the pool and have less for me to clean.

Best pool vacuum ever! I have spent so much money buying cheaper handheld vacuums that didn’t clean right or stopped working after a couple uses. This vacuum is amazing. Does all the work for you, it’s easy to operate, and cleans extremely well. Very satisfied with the purchase. Definitely worth spending the extra money.

Like my title says, I really wanted to love it. My pool took longer to install than I anticipated due to an injury that prevented completion, so I can no longer return the product. I've used it now every other day, every couple days for the last 5 weeks, depending on how dirty the pool bottom got. Most of the time it worked pretty decent, but every time it would miss sections of the pool (24 ft round). As of 2 days ago, it does more wheelies than actual vaccuming, and for the last 2 days it get suck around my pool stairs and cannot get unstuck. I also did not have the insert inside of the machine when I bought it and had extra parts already installed, but am bummed I had to buy another filter to get the "Best Clean".

Don't recommend buy things this for the price. It works okay doesnr hold much

I have an aquabot si40 pool rover and I have always had aquabot products. I heard so many pool reviews about the dolphin I had to try it. So Far I've not been impressed. I had to by the micro basket another $60 and it has no pattern to it. Just here and there and everywhere and it doesn't pick up big stuff like leaves. The aquabot gets everything and is about $250 cheaper. Now I have both and I don't get all the raving about this robot.

A little heavy but works great

Great vacuum easy to use does a great job so far

First impressions: Cord from power supply to crawler is too short, so need to place power supply pool side and run and extension cord to outlet. Concerned about power supply being out in the direct sun for long period of time. Slow moving so will take longer to clean an inground pool. Not strong enough to cross pool drains at bottom. Barely able to climb the walls. Can see this will wear out fast. Giving it a try today, but honestly not a strong enough machine for our pool. Evaluating, but may end up returning for something else.

Does a great job cleaning the pool and makes cleaning a pool simple. The device's filter basket is really easy to clean out too. It mechanical aspects seems very well engineered. The access door opens and closes nicely and with ease. When the door opens the filter baskets handle automatically pops up, a nice touch. The filter basket has a easy to open hinged bottom. So just push a button and the large dirt just falls out. The filter catches even the tiny sand grits, these are a little harder to get out of the filter but a little hosing off and it is ready to go. Putting the basket back into the robot and closing the hatch, automatically puts the basket handle down, again nice touch. The device cleans great, I don't think it has as much "intelligence" in logic as manufacturer claims...patterns seems random and over time it will cover the entire pool...they probably just make it run plenty long enough to ensure the probability of covering the entire pool is greater than 95%. It does try to climb and one time it actually went to the surface so I wish I would have bought the unground pool version (extra $100) for my above ground pool...I am pretty sure I wouldn't have to clean the side walls by hand. It does do wheelies every once in a while but then goes back to work as expected. Overall, over priced but I highly recommend and I will not live without one.

Really climbs up the wall well, although sometimes it's doing wheelies in the middle of pool. So had it one day at nd im very happy.

I used this pool cleaner one time. When I lift the basket out of the unit; the bottom trap door comes unlatched and all the debris falls into the unit. The bottom should latch close so that you can open it manually to clean. Watch video! The bottom door will not latch close. I contacted seller and they won’t help. All I want is a replacement basket!!! Poor customer service. Do not purchase from this seller.

The media could not be loaded. My second time using this dolphin and it works great! Easy to use not very heavy gets pretty much every spot going back n forth doing wheelies climbing walls at times all of which is normal taking about 1.5-2hrs time to run its cycle. I was worried about some reviews saying the cord gets tangled and around the ladder but neither has happened to me and I followed companies advice to stretch cord out in sun for the day when you first get it before you use it. The only two complaints I have which is why I gave 4 stars is that the cord is too short it doesn’t quite reach across 27 ft pool from my outlet which is pretty close to the pool so I gotta call and ask the company if it’s safe to use extension cord and the other complaint is if you don’t carefully lift the dolphin evenly out of the pool if it’s tilted with the bottom pointing down debris will fall out the bottom as you lift it out of the pool.

I love how easy it is to use and how well it cleans our 30ft pool (I did buy the ultra filtration basket). I have had many compliments on how clean our pool is. I do find I have to run it twice at a time, but that’s no big deal. However there are two design flaws in my opinion: 1. The cord needs to have a swivel. It is constantly wrapping around itself and is a pain to unravel. 2. The power box isn’t water-proof. I’ve been looking for an outer box to put the power box in for weather-proofing. This is a design flaw in my opinion especially if you are using on a 30ft pool as you can’t get more than two-feet from edge of pool or the dolphin can’t reach the other side. 3. The power cord is not long enough to get very far from the pool and your not supposed to use an extension cord. This left me no choice but to put in a power pole close to the pool and the box is left exposed, creating a need for a weather-proof box as mentioned before.

Well worth the price

We love our dolphin. It makes cleaning our pool so much easier. It does the work for us. We are using it in a 27' above ground and it works great.

I have ran it two times and it won’t get all of the pool. I have a 24ft above ground pool . So disappointed and mad.

Best money I’ve spent in a long time. Saves so much time and work!

This thing works great. Last summer was the first summer we had our above ground pool and I spent just about every weekend manually vacuuming on Saturday morning. As we got the pool ready for this summer, I was really contemplating just cutting my losses and throwing away the pool because I wasn’t looking forward to manually vacuuming again. So I started doing some research and found this Dolphin robot vacuum. Man has this thing been a lifesaver for the first few weeks we’ve been swimming so far this year. The pool hasn’t been this clean since the first day the kids went swimming in it. I will never go back to manually vacuuming again. The $500 price tag was more than worth it. As per other reviews, I went ahead and purchased the ultra fine filter also. It makes a world a difference. While the original filter works great, the ultra fine filter doesn’t leave anything behind. I also recommend this add on for the money.

The media could not be loaded. It takes the pain out of cleaning your pool. In the last two years, I have bought two different automatic vacuums that attach to the filter ranging from $100-$200. They kept stopping once a leaf or some debris entered their path, rendering them useless for cleaning the entire pool. We resorted to hand vacuuming last year which in 100-degree heat is a nightmare! I spent a long time researching different vacuums and Dolphin kept coming up as a top contender. I was excited to try it. I have a 15 x 26 above ground pool and video attached is of my first time using the Dolphin E10 when opening my pool for the season a few weeks ago. It was very dirty with sand, algae, leaves, and small stones on the bottom. The original filter that comes with it did a fantastic job as you can see in the video. I have been maintaining it with the ultra-fine filter that I purchased separately on amazon. It handles small bugs, sand, and algae and costs between $70-$80. I was worried when purchasing this as its expensive compared to my previous (useless) automatic pool cleaners, but it's totally worth it! I should have bought this pool cleaner from the start.

I have owned the Dolphin E10 for about 16months. This is my first full summer with it. I love the vacuum, it works well, picks up all the stuff at the bottom of my pool even the sand that gets in from my sand filter. I also want to say the customer service is great. The battery pack started acting up at the end of this summer, I called the company and without question they asked me for my serial number and shipped out a new battery pack for me. This is what I call Great Service!!!! Will keep them in mind for any future needs and recommend to anyone looking for a pool vacuum.

Excellent cleaning unit. Cleaned pool in hour and half

We bought this vacuum in June of 2020, it worked amazing for 2 seasons! This year I could tell right away the vacuum wasn’t working properly. I had about 2 months left on our two year warranty so I contacted customer service right away. Immediately the person we spoke to was very unhelpful. They suggested our water wasn’t clean enough, then suggested that we needed a different filter for the vacuum($80 which we bought and didn’t work), then told me to take the vacuum apart and check for blockages, finally they decided I could send it back, I had to pay shipping but that was fine. After about 3-4 weeks of not hearing from them, I emailed again inquiring about the vacuum and by the next day I got a notification that the vacuum had shipped back out. When we got the vacuum back it was dirty and scratched up but I was still optimistic it would be in working order now. The paper they included in the box indicated they did not find anything wrong with the vacuum and they did not repair it. So in all I wasted $30 shipping, $80 on a fine particle filter, 2 months of time with no vacuum and I still don’t have a working vacuum AND it’s now out of the warranty time line. So while this was the best pool vacuum we have tried I will not be purchasing a maytronics product again based on the customer service we received. The vacuum doesn’t make contact with the ground in the pool, it constantly does a “wheelie” around the pool so it never picks up any debris. I sent multiple photos and videos to maytronics showing the behavior and they still blame the filter, and then the pool water. Only recommend if you have $500 to spend every 2 years because that’s how long the vacuum lasts!

Love everything about this vacuum!

Works very good!

We've owned 2 different Steel Frame/Pole pools in 4-5 years. We have a well as our water source so preserving the water brought in by a tanker is important to us. Filtration and vacuuming is always challenging with the weak filtration systems included with these types of pools. Rather than spend to upgrade the pump/filter & vacuum setup, we opted for the Dolphin E-10. ( affectionately... Wall-E ... lol ) Our 20 ft Summer Waves pool has been crystal clear & clean all summer! We drop Wall-E into the pool in the morning if we're planning on an afternoon swim. (We often just leave the cover on! ... Lift the corner... Drop Wall-E in with some cord and away he goes) We actually drop a couple chlorine tablets into the filter basket so as he cleans he pushes a bit of chlorine into the water as well! (Not sure that's recommended but works great!) **Full Disclosure** We did purchase the Ultra Fine Filter Basket because we're pretty particular about our pool floor. No complaints! This pool robot, in our opinion, is worth every single penny. P.S. - no filter on the pics! ;)

The only thing I want this to do more is do the waterline. That depends on which model you get. I use this thing so often I couldn’t imagine being without it. My pool is right near trees so Leaves or constantly going in it. This cleans up the leaves and little bugs at the bottom of the pool and leave it spotless. This dolphin really does a great job and I have both filters which the fine filter is a little harder to clean out but it’s worth having both. My wife was upset I didn’t get the extended warranty because if anything happens to this one will definitely be getting a new one. So far it’s lasted one season and I always rinse it off.

This thing is awesome! It does climb the walls and get everything up even the sand at the bottom. Completely worth every penny! We tried a Wanda the Whale first for our above ground pool, it was useless. This saves our family hours of cleaning the pool. Just turn on and let it do it’s thing! After one year, the power supply cracked at the button making it no longer water resistant and exposing the computer board inside. I contacted Customer Service and was informed that it’s still under warranty and they will ship a new one at no cost. However, they’re on back order until July 1, 2022.

We just bought the Dolphin e10 for our 24 ft above ground pool. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it can be heavy to remove from the pool. I did not realize until I received it, it also must be plugged in while in use. This didn't create a problem for us, but I can see how some might have trouble with it. The cord is very long so it goes a good ways out from the outlet. It picks up all the things you cannot see at the bottom! We did not get the fine filter basket, but the normal one picks up small sand like debris as well. Very easy to use and clean. Would definately recommend it!!!

It is the right size and super cute. I'm a chunky gal!

The media could not be loaded. I used to clean my 15x26 above ground pool

We have a smaller 18' above ground pool and have been using the standard vac that uses suction from the pool pump. Well this winter our new pup decided to try walking on the cover and it broke, dumping him and all the mud he was covered in, as well as all the leaves that were on top of the cover into the pool. Needless to say it was a huge mess, which after it settled left the bottom of the pool covered in a fine layer of mud and a pile about 2 feet wide of leaves and debris. What would have taken us hours to clean by hand with the old vac took 2 cycles with the dolphin! I was skeptical but ended up thoroughly impressed! I will say the basket did get clogged a couple of times from the sheer amount of leaves, but that would not be an issue for routine cleanings. What really impressed me was how well the fine bits of mud and dirt were removed. It did miss a couple of spots that were closer to the edges of the pool, but nothing is perfect and I am sure I have missed spots cleaning manually as well. All in all, great purchase and does the job. I am even more excited for summer now that I can enjoy my pool without having to worry about doing as much maintenance! Also for those questioning if you need the separately sold fine filter basket, I felt like the standard basket did a great job, at least with the type of dirt and debris we have encountered so far.

Excellent and does a great job on our out of ground pool.

I don't usually write a review but I was so impressed with this unit that here it is. I have been using it for over 2 months on a daily basis in my 21' above ground pool. I have trees that partially overhang the pool including a nut tree. This unit (I call Flipper) runs for about 1 1/2 hours and does an amazing job of cleaning the pool. It even picked up the nuts (until they were to big to fit through the suction holes). Because of the ease of use, I usually let it run twice cleaning the basket in between cleanings. After the remnants of a recent hurricane my pool was filled with leaves and after two cleanings it was spotless. Absolutely amazing.

Climbed walls of my above ground pool. Amazing

Awesome!

Love this dolphin , I Normally don't give reviews but this robot gets high praise you won't regret buying one

For my above ground pool; easy to use.

I gave this 4 stars because it is pricey. This vacuum is awesome though. It has great suction and even when my pool doesnt look that dirty the amount that is in the basket is amazing. Put your hose on jet to clean the basket out right away and you are good to go for next cleaning. I would purchase this product again! Great for intex style pools since it does not go thru the pool filter.

Cleaned 24' round above ground pool in 90 minute session. Right now it is a bit cumbersome getting it out of the pool because we have not built our deck yet. Once the deck is in place, we will probably also fashion some sort of hook to remove it from the pool rather than pulling up on the electric cord every time. It is easy to clean the filter basket (we also bought the ultra fine basket and plan to use it for daily/lighter cleaning and use the mesh basket for heavier cleaning such as after storms).

As long as the pool has just a little algae on the floor this does great. If there's a lot, it kicks it up. I just let it settle and run it again. Downside: Make sure when removing it from the pool you hold a net underneath because some of the debris comes out the bottom. (Funny side: keeps my cat entertained the whole time it's on. Just waiting for her to jump in after it. Lol)

Makes cleaning things out of the bottom of the pool so much easier and faster

Above ground pool. 18x33

This is a wonderful vacuum for cleaning leaves, dirt, and debris off the bottom of the pool. Surprisingly, it will also climb and clean the sides of the pool. I highly recommend adding the ultra-fine filter for cleaning algae after shocking the pool. The regular filter isn't fine enough for that, although it's great for other debris. The unit usually climbs up about 1-2 feet on our above ground pool, although on several occasions it will climb all the way to the top (4 feet). Love this vacuum and it's mindless wandering around the bottom of the pool.

Works well, thought it would perform even better based on so many 5 star reviews. Cleans most of obvious dirt which is a plus. The fact you have to buy a ultra fine basket for silty or fine matter is a minus. Read several other comments/reviews about the cleaner doing excessive "Wheelies", same concern here. I have watched the robot wheelie almost across entire 28' pool. Not convincing me it is normal... In the end I would buy it again for the time saved, however, if you are looking for a spotless pool you may be somewhat disappointed.

I live in the Northeast and have a significant amount of pine trees which created a need to clean the pool with the vacuum, skimmers, and etc... over and over again. We have had so much pollen this year it actually collected in form at the bottom over and over. It was very painful and needed to be done so many times it was ridiculous. I purchased this just to see how this would change the game and so far it has. The cleaner has pulled all of the pollen, debris, and everything you can imagine out of the pool so easily and so easy to clean the basket itself. I am not sure about longevity, however, so far this product delivers on what it says it does and it takes tax of the pump, filter, and especially me.

I hesitated because of the cost, but very happy I purchased this item. Works MUCH better than expected!

After several years, we finally got our pool chemical levels balanced this year, but we still had dead algae and sand from a blown out filter all over the bottom of the pool. Our regular filter barely made a difference even after we stirred everything up. After just a few uses, the Dolphin has the pool looking great for the first time ever. It was ready to use right out of the box. We planned to toss it in and forget about it for an hour and a half while it does it's thing, but it still feels fun to watch for a few minutes as it scoots around the pool. It's easy to open and clean, unlike other pool vacuums we've tried. We had to use the ultra-fine filter basket for the algae. I don't understand why it isn't included with the Dolphin, but if you have algae, you'll want to buy it as well. Also, although this is a model meant for above ground pools, ours likes to climb the sides. It's not a problem for us because our pool was seemingly built to be flipped upside down to use as a bomb shelter, but it might be a concern for others.

Con weight, Pros easy to clean suction was strong I would recommend this product.

Pool cleaning is amazing with this device.

We have been using this for a couple of months now and I will say it cleans very well. The con to this is just like the other reviews it does shut off after about 2 or 3 hrs which I don’t get why but it doesn’t bother me as much because I can just hit the button again. It does miss some spots and tend to miss the same spot a little more often than I would like that’s why I dropped it down to a 4 star. I know nothing is perfect but overall I will say I’m please with this product.

!!Edit. At 1yr and 4months old the power supply has stopped working. I've contacted customer service and am waiting for a response. I'm sure as all things, it's a1yr warranty and we're out of luck. I'll update the review if I find otherwise. For now, the stars go down to 1. Something this expensive shouldn't have issues it's second season in. Remember... This is a pool cleaner so it's not used year round. It's been used 6 months and stored, indoors out of the sun the rest of the time.!!!!! Had this a year now. Her name is Myrtle. Best way I can describe her is you know those dudes that have sugar babies? Super expensive, way more effort than necessary for how much they cost and a headache... But they're easy so...? Yeah, well. That's Myrtle. She will go behind the steps at every conceivable opportunity. She will only suck up what she seems to be enough and not an ounce more. One stick sends her reeling and she doesn't know what to do. She's an absolute PAIN to hoist out of the water. High maintenance. Long hair in the pool tangles her fan blades. She can't be in the sun out of the water. Her brain isn't water proof, only water "resistant". Her brain also overheats in the sun so you must provide the brain with shade. You can't use the cord to pull her out of the water... BUT she's still easier than the others and I can run my filter/jet while she's scrubbing away. She doesn't have bulky hoses and crap. So, will I buy another when she dies. Yes. Will I gripe bc something this expensive shouldn't be so dang finicky? Also yes. 🤣

The Statement "Lets all the Water Out. Fast. The quick water release makes it easy to remove from the pool. Don’t worry, it only lets the water out and not the stuff trapped in the basket. " gives the reader/buyer the impression that there is a button or release switch of some type to get the water out fast, this is not the case. It still takes weveral minutes to get the water out so, one needs to stand over the pool and hold the machine so it does not leak all over the deck.

Update, still having some issues but I’m improving my rating. Very quick attentive customer service. Gave me several logical suggestions. 1) Leave the cord in direct sun pulled straight out. 2) alter the placement of where you place the robot in pool. Lastly, they offered remedy if I wasn’t happy. Can’t ask for much better than that. I’ll update again later. I have a few days use on this so may update the review later. A couple things I’ll mention now. I’m using this on an above ground 30’ pool. I’m not sure how long it’s supposed to take for the robot to map out the pool, but it hasn’t yet. Still leaves areas untouched. Not hug areas, more around a couple sides near the edge. **Heres the big thing that may cause me to return it. The cord gets tangled around itself, every time. Now for a unit near $500 I’d expect that would be addressed. It’s pretty important for goodness sake. Especially when you have a large pool that admittedly is at its max advertised range. By the way, The edges not cover are close. It seems to do a nice job otherwise. But the cord deal is a big problem.

Best investment for my pool no more wasted time cleaning. I like how easy it is to use. Drop in the pool let it do the work till it cuts itself off.

I wanted a pool vac for a couple of years now, but kept putting off getting one. The reviews were too mixed and that made me afraid to buy one for so much money. The Dolphin brand was always at the top of the list, but was too rich for my blood. However I got a gift card and it was on sale, so I decided to try this one (less $ out of my pocket). My pool has never looked so good with so little effort on my part. What was I waiting on? The only glitch is the 2 hour run time isn't always enough. If I have guests coming on the weekend I might do a double round on Friday, but it does a great job overall.

Everything advertised

1000% worth the money..Wish I would have bought this 3 years ago!!

works very well the wip

So far so good. We purchased another brand a few years ago but it only worked for a season and the basket was underneath and a pain to clean. This cleaner is so easy to use. Purchased the ultra fine filter also. Definitely wish we purchased years ago. Our unit is not supposed to climb walls. Low and behold I see it at the top of the pool on our 24ft above ground pool.

We bought this after our Rovor pool cleaner's wheel broke. This Dolphin is much much better. For one, it has a scrubber brush that breaks up dirt. Also, it can clean some of the pool wall area by climbing on it. Although it doesn't climb all the way, it still cleans about a foot high of pool wall. It moves fast yet very thorough. Also, if there are small objects left in the pool, (like pool toys), it can easily manuever around them by "popping a wheelie"! Basically, it can lift itself on the back half until it has cleared the object. Again, I can't emphasize enough how thoroughly it cleans the pool bottom. Plus, since you just drop it in the water, turn it on, and wait for it to finish its cleaning cycle (about an hour for our 30 foot by 14 foot oval pool)! It will stop on its own. You can stop it early (before it finishes its cleaning cycle) too if you need to, no harm.

The media could not be loaded. It gets the job done!! When I first put it in the pool it climb the wall. I was amazed because after reading some of the other reviews they said it didn’t climb. Only thing I didn’t like is the fact that you have to pay $80 extra dollar for the ultra filter when it should come with it anyway. But, if you want your pool extra clean (like I do) spend the extra money. The suction power is great picks up sand, algae and any other fine particles on the bottom of the pool. Only had it for 2 months. So for so good.

great helper

I am beyond satisfied with this product. This is the 3rd year we've had an above ground pool. 24x52 I had bought a cheap vacuum to use the past 2 summers. I was tired of fighting with the hoses and hooking it up only to have it pick up a little of what was on the bottom of the pool. It always left some dirt and debris behind. I did my research on above ground pool vacuums, and finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on a good vacuum. I also purchased the fine filter cartridge basket as everyone suggested in the reviews I read. It is SO easy to use. Plug it in and let it go. In an hour and a half, my pool is spotless. There is nothing left on the bottom. It scrubs the pool floor as well which will probably help with algae I'm sure. SO glad that I finally made this investment.

The media could not be loaded. Update omg. How did I live without this pool cleaning bot. I’am almost mad I didn’t get this sooner. This cleaner is so amazing. I leave mine in the pool 24/7 made a box to protect the power box. The ease of use and effectiveness is bar none. Buy this product no kidding does not disappoint. I don’t do reviews but U am compelled to tell anyone I know. Love love this So glad I got this pool cleaner. We have a 27 ft above ground pool and have tried several other cleaners and the all sucked or better yet didn’t suck up much at all. I was skeptical but desperately needed something to work. Look no further this does the job like a champ.

Just unpack put in pool and it goes to work

The rubber brush catches the surface dirt. Should you have any creases or seams, it will not always brush deep enough. So I suggest if you might have this situation, that you use a brush in that area. I'm glad that I didn't choose a wireless unit. I can retrieve it from the pool, easily.

We got this for our Bestway 18X9X48 pool . We upgraded the Intex filter to a sand saltwater chlorinator and were using a hand-held vaccime that ran through the filter it was slow and a chore but worked "ok" . I was thrilled to find a vaccume that did not rely on suction power of the pool pump. This little gem was literally plug into its own power supply drop it in and let it go ! I started it up came back maybe 3 hours later my pool was spotless and I did not purchase the extra ultra fine filter basket. I decided to see how it would work without and I was very pleased to see for our debres it wasn't necessary. The bottom of our pool was covered in dirt and grass shaving and some rotted leaves it did amazing I love this thing I'm so happy we can finally enjoy our pool without a million more slow pain staking hand vacuum sessions.

Bought the Dolphin E10 Automatic Robotic pool cleaner for my 18x48 above ground pool, this thing is magical. I’m so impressed how well it cleaned my pool. The filter that comes with the machine is awesome for big stuff such as leaves, pine needles, etc. It did pick up some of the small stuff but not all. So I purchased the “ultra fine filter” (I strongly suggest you buy it) it made all the difference in the world, it honestly got every little speck of dirt & sand, bugs, etc. I’ve tried several other types of pool cleaners and this Robotic Dolphin E10 is top notch. It’s so easy to use and so simple to clean. Plug it in, put in the water & walk away! It’s literally that easy. I watched it the first time just to make sure it didn’t get tangled in my steps, which it never did. Believe me when I say it’s perfect. You won’t regret it.

Easy to use just place it in the pool and let it go. Very happy with this purchase.

My husband loves this little vacuum. Does a great job.

We just bought an above ground pool last year, and I really never enjoyed the vacuuming part of owning a pool. So I decided to give this robot a shot and boy, I’m really glad I did. I also purchased the super fine filter as well (glad I did). I run it whenever I remember to go out there and press the button. My pool has been sparkling clean! The machine is super easy to use. Just drop it in the pool- there’s a line that is always attached to it , that line goes into a little box that stays outside your pool- just plug that box into an outlet and push the button. It couldn’t be easier. I now spend more time enjoying the pool, than having to physically clean it with the old hose and trying to connect it to the filter (what a pain)!!

What do I like about this? EVERYTHING! It makes my life so much easier, just drop it in the pool and walk away. We took someone's idea to use pool noodles for the cord, and it works great, no tangles. Our pool has a curved bottom, as opposed to a straight wall corner at the bottom, so the vacuum climbs right up the sides of the pool and cleans them. It picks up leaves and all the other debris, empty it out and go. I love that you don't have to hook it up to any pool hoses, completely self contained. Great purchase!!

I have a 16' round above ground pool. I was using the vacuum that hooked up to the pool pump and filters through the pool filter. After losing my mind with that having to empty and clean the filter every 2 minutes, I was ready to do ANYTHING to get something that would vacuum the pool better. This Dolphin robot vacuum has been a life saver. I am able to get in the pool every day with crystal clear water. Our pool is situated under several trees, one of which is a lovely Crate Myrtle tree. Not only does it drop an abundance of those stupid flowers every day but it drops leaves like crazy too. Before I got my dolphin, I would spend an hour a day vacuuming the pool and the crappy vacuum didn't even work that well. I would still be swimming in debris filled water. Now I just plug in the Dolphin 2 hours before I plan to swim and bingo! CLEAR WATER!!! I absolutely love this product and I wouldn't have a pool without it!

The new model does away with the bag that you had to take out an empty and then wash, this one has a basket like the one you have in your pool filter. you just pull it out and empty it and spray it with you hose if you want to. We have also found we no longer have alge in the pool, and really cleans the bottom of the pool and well as some of the sides. We love it. I almost didn't buy it because of the price but after I looked at some of the others being offered, I went with the product that we new. It is awesome.

First time through the pool with how dirty it was. Had to clean out filter about every 15 mins. But I blame the fact our winter cover got blown off half way through winter from 45-50 mph winds. But it is doing a great job cleaning it. I can tell when the filter gets full cause it wants to start doing wheelies through the pool and not really cleaning anything at that point. But clean out the filter and let it continue doing its thing. Picture shows where it has cleaned vs where it hasnt.

The E-10 pool vacuum does everything and more as far as cleaning the pool, ease of operation, and value for your money. The problem I experienced was that the power supply/timer pictured by Amazon is not what comes with the product. A simple on/off power supply is what I ultimately found out was supposed to come with the vacuum - not the more sophisticated timer advertised by Amazon. When I contacted Maytronics they demonstrated superb customer service and sent me thePower supply/timer that had been incorrectly pictured in the Amazon description . Kudos to Maytronics.

For it to be effective you need the xtra fine filter box sold separately for 85$. Still waiting on it to show up. Should be sold with both options if this the only way it really works. The 1 1/2 hour time clean doesnt complete my pool, at 28 feet wide.

I ordered this pool vacuum as a birthday gift for me. I wish I had ordered this type of vacuum with our first pool back in the 1990’s. We have always used the battery pack vacuums on a long handle and actually vacuum the pools. I have spent more on stick vacuums than the dolphin E10 cost us. I have recommended the dolphin series vacuums to everyone I know that has a pool. It does such a great job! As long as we have pools we will have dolphin style vacuums!

Works great cleaning leaves from my pool

This was the year I finally broke down and bought an efficient, automatic pool cleaner. In the past I had "pool cleaners" that hooked up to the intake hose but with little success. Never got the whole pool clean or it lost its suction and stopped. With the Dolphin E10 there was a very easy learning curve. I can literally just drop it in the pool, plug it in, push a button and walk away. I can come back in about an hour and its done and the pool looks clean. This has eliminated so many manual hours and no more frustrations with hoses and adequate connections. A must!

The Dolphin E10 does a great job. A lot of reviews said you have to get the ultra fine filter (adding an extra $100.00 or more) but I just run it twice, once to get the leaves and second to get the small particles. We had a lot of sand on the bottom and I was worried this wouldn’t work from reading reviews but it sucks it all up with no issues! Just let it sink to bottom, turn on and come back in 1.5 hours and pull dolphin out of water, pull out basket and hose out the filter and done. Saves me so much time. If your really debating on getting it....just get it, you will not regret it. Our pool is 30x15x48 and it cleans it up great. I uploaded a pic of pool to show the size that the dolphin cleans for us.

We have liked the Dolphin E10. I bought the ultra fine basket also but haven't had to use it yet. It's been working great with the standard basket. It will go up the sides a little. We have an Intex 12x24x48 above ground pool. We are in the country and get lots of bugs and leaves in the pool and don't really cover it. We had an aquabot prior to this. I've given up on that company and think they must have shut down completely. So far the Dolphin has been great and does an awesome job!

I should have purchased this automatic robotic pool cleaner sooner!! Also I am really sorry I didn't buy just the pool cleaner first and try it before ordering the extra super find filter. The filter that came with the automatic pool cleaner is perfect. It is a tight plastic sheathing that reminds me of a fabric. It is flat and easy to spray clean. The ultra fine filter reminds me of a furnace style filter, it is accordion style design and requires more effort to clean and it is not made of plastic. Once I had the pool to my satisfaction with the filter included in the purchase I traded out the plastic for the ultra fine and found it to be no different looking with debris than the plastic filter. Just buy the pool cleaner first before investing in the ultra fine filter.

Picks up sand, leaves, small twigs, and even sycamore balls dropped from sycamore tree. Easy to clean , and easy to setup. Put in pool, push the button to start, and let it do it's magic. The only downfall the robot has it will not float to top when finished.

This thing is a MUST for above ground pool owners. Don’t waste time or money on anything else! Use it once a day. Easy peasy. To clean it I use the backwash water to rinse it off. Great pressure! It is heavy to pull out of the pool, dragging water. I tug in the cord to retrieve it however, always use the handle to lift it out!! I prop it on the rails to let it drain. Then set it down to clean it. Enjoy your new toy!

This is the third automatic pool cleaner we have had in the last eight years. The Dolphin by far has been the best. The cord does not get tangled or does not have kinks in it. It is very light weight and the filter basket is very easy to clean. The Dolphin actually cleans the complete parameter of the pool. Our pool has never been this clean. The only drawback is the cleaning time. It only runs for and hour and half, and then you have to turn it off and back on again if it is not done cleaning.
