Well worth the money
We finally broke down and retired our 15 year old Jandy Ray Vac. The Dolphin is a major step up to the old Ray Vac and it works incredibly quick. First of all the unit is extremely well made. The seller, In The Swim, is a major retailer who does stand behind these devices should there be any repair/warranty work required. The robot literally works 5 minutes out of the box. Open, unpack, connect the power supply to the robot cord and drop into the pool. I had issues getting my wifi feature to work but no worries, the unit will run for 2 hours by default without the app. I brought the power supply into my house where it linked up immediately. Now everything is configured on the app. The cleaning is very very good. The old Ray Vac could never compare and only vacuuming the pool was comparable. There are two sets of filters included and the removal and cleaning of the dirt filters is very simple and gets all the debris removed so the robot is nice and clean. I am very happy with this purchase. Update 8/25/20 This is by far the best pool purchase I have made since building our unground pool 15 years ago. The Dolphin comes up to the water line and does a great job of keeping the tile clean. the floor is a simple task and we have trees nearby that litter the pool any time a bit of wind comes along. I just drop the Dolphin in and that's all I do. I have had more time to focus on the water chemistry as a result. The only limitation is around steps and seats. The robot cannot get into each step and get all the debris. I will just brush those area and the Dolphin can easily get it. Not a big issue since I am skimming the pool at the same time. The power supply has wifi which I thought was a stupid addition but I gave it a try. I can see the condition of the pool and add an extra 1 or 2 hours from my house without having to go out and rest the robot. That sounds like a silly extra for really lazy people but it does save time when you walk out from work (Covid work from home) and get back on a conf call and not stopping to play with the pool. Still very happy with the Dolphin robot.
