Dolphin T45 Robotic Pool Cleaner
Reviewed by Robert Knight
Key Features
- In-Store Exclusive - The Dolphin T45 can only be purchased in-store and is not for sale online. However, you can find models online that are often cheaper, with more features, and even a longer warranty such as the Dolphin Quantum, Dolphin Explorer E30, Dolphin Premier, and Dolphin Sigma.
- myDolphin Plus App - An upgrade from the Dolphin T35, the Dolphin T45 now includes the myDolphin Plus app.
- Complete Pool Cleaning - Effortlessly cleans the entire pool from the floor to the waterline.
- Reduced Suction Power - The Dolphin T45 has smaller motors and less suction power by over 500 gallons per hour compared to the new ProLine's Commercial-Grade Motors, although it is priced higher.
- Includes Standard and Ultrafine Filters - The T45 includes both the standard mesh panels and ultrafine panels for its top-loading basket. We loved how easy it was to use and clean after it vacuumed our pool.
- Shorter Warranty - The Dolphin T45 includes only a 2-year warranty compared to the ProLine's 3-year warranty. For this price, we expect a 3 year warranty.
