Dolphin T35 Robotic Pool Cleaner
Reviewed by Robert Knight
Key Features
- In-Store Only - The Dolphin T35 is exclusively available for purchase in-store and cannot be bought online. However, you can find online models that are often cheaper and offer more features, such as the Dolphin Quantum, Dolphin Premier, and Dolphin Sigma.
- Comprehensive Pool Cleaning - The Dolphin T35 effectively cleaned our entire pool during testing, from the floor to the waterline.
- Reduced Suction Power - Compared to the new ProLine's Commercial-Grade Motors, it has smaller motors and a suction power that is lower by over 500 gallons per hour.
- No Filter Full Indicator - Unlike other high-end pool robots, the T35 does not notify you when its filter needs cleaning, a feature available in the Premier's Media-Alert.
- Missing Leaf Bag - The T35 comes with standard mesh filters and ultrafine filters but does not include a Leaf Bag. We found the Leaf Bag very useful for pools with many leaves, so its absence is a letdown.
- Shorter Warranty - The Dolphin T35 includes only a 2-year warranty compared to the ProLine's 3-year warranty.
