Dolphin Nautilus CC Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Wall Climbing Scrubber Brush, Top Load Filter Access, Ideal for Above/In-Ground Pools up to 33 FT in Length

I should have written this sooner. This thing is like the little engine that could! We went away for the week and came back to find our pool littered with grass at the bottom — the landscapers had come while we were gone. I honestly thought, there’s no way this little robot is going to handle all that! Well, it totally proved me wrong. It cleaned everything — even around those filter covers at the bottom of the pool where the grass had gotten stuck. I was shocked at how well it handled such a messy job. When I opened the debris compartment afterward, it was completely full of everything it had picked up, and the pool was spotless. I also bought the caddy, which makes storage super easy. After each use, I let the robot drain a bit, then set it on the plastic caddy — no water damage, no hassle. This little robot works hard, delivers amazing results, and is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

The Dolphin was delivered today (ahead of schedule), and after reading the Quick Start directions, I put it to work immediately. There's almost nothing to it. Connect the waterproof cord to the console, drop the unit into the water, plug the console cord into the wall socket, press the power button. We have a rectangular fiberglass pool with salt water. It has a large sitting platform which is about 2 feet deep. The platform then drops off into the deeper (lap swimming) end of the pool. The pool is 6 feet at the deepest end. I dropped the Dolphin into the deep end then hit the start button. This unit is advertised. It was definitely vacuuming up the debris. It picks up the pebbles, and it actually crawls up the pool wall to the point where at least a third of it breaches the surface, then drops back in. However, I have seen it crawl up the 4 foot wall of the platform, at which time it cleans the platform (briefly), until it blindly rolls off the platform edge, descending into the deeper water. After two hours, the bottom was probably 98% clean. There were a couple of 90 degree corners that it just couldn't quite pick up, so I'm currently running it for another hour. Perhaps I will stir up those two corners next time to give it an assist. Lastly, our pool has two steps to the deeper water. The unit appears unable to crawl up the stairs. Five starts because it is convenient, simple, and effective. Update: In order to get the last 2-3% of dirt left over in the corners and at the base of the walls, we first brush the debris toward the middle of the pool floor. Then, we run this unit for an hour and the pool looks great! ~ We use this unit about once per week and always after the lawn is mowed. ~ I set it on a small 2x4 block to keep pressure off of the brush up front. I also sometimes set it on it's side when it's not in use. Nothing to warp when it's on its side. ~ We gently spray out the debris bucket with the garden hose. The filters on the side seem delicate/fine (which I'm guessing is why the fine dirt doesn't appear to pass through the system). ~ In order to retrieve it you use the power cord to pull it in. It's very light when it's in the water, but when it gets within reach, grab the unit itself. This prevents undue stress on the power cord when it's full of water. Bottom line: This thing doesn't care how blazing hot or ice cold it is outside or how long its work shift is, it gets the job done so you don't have to. Update (1 year later): The Dolphin still does its thing. When not in use we keep the unit in a pool locker in the back yard, except for the console. We keep the console inside the house to keep the electronics better protected. Prior to using the Dolphin, we brush the base of the walls. This makes it easier for the Dolphin to get this more easily. Sometimes I push the button for a second cycle, but it usually does a fantastic job with a single cycle. I've left it in our salt water pool for a couple of nights in a row before. It doesn't seem to mind and it doesn't let go of the debris during that time. I use it year round, usually at least once per week in the warm months, perhaps a little less in the winter. 1 year later, it still does the job very well. I'd never go back to doing this myself. The pool needs enough attention as it is (water testing, water level, filter cleanings, etc.). I do wish that it had a remote control option, something that I could hold so that I could direct it to "mow" the platform clean before plunging back into the deep water. Great purchase! I'd give it 5 stars again. Update (Beginning of 3rd year of use) Nothing has changed from above. I still store the dolphin (upright of the tracks) in the locker outside year round, the console is still stored inside the house. Prior to use I still sweep the base of the walls. This makes it easier for the unit to get the dirt and debris. The pool is clean in about 90 minutes, though I usually run it longer for an extra clean pool. I guess it takes about 10 minutes or so to sweep then set up, but it would take the same time to set up the manual system too. Same with break down, 10 mins or so either way. But of course with the Dolphin I'm off doing something else while it's doing its thing. No parts have deteriorated since it was brand new even in a salt water pool. It's as good as new still. I see newer Dolphin units with a built in swivel in the cord. After many hours in my pool the cord does develop the beginning of a kink (twist) in the cord but the cord is so long that this has never come close to hindering its effectiveness. After use, I lay out the cord along the lawn then roll it back up losing the minor twist for next use. I also see units with optional remote controls. For the large platform in my pool I simply manually (mow) it clean, that is I run it one length, turn it off, set it into position for the next run Turn it on, etc. Yes, I'm in ankle deep water with it as it's running but the platform gets clean in short order. I think a remote control for this short work would take longer. I need it to make several U-turns on the platform, slightly overlapping the previous run. I think using a remote would take much longer. Aside from that we're rarely in the water with the unit. Excellent pool accessory! Simple and convenient. Glad we made the purchase. It certainly is better than cleaning the bottom when it's 100 degrees or freezing outside.

My experience with this company (dolphin / maytronics) has been terrible. I bought one of these robots brand new and within 2 weeks it stopped working correctly despite following all of their instructions on how to care for the robot. I reached out to their customer service teams on numerous occasions over the past several MONTHS. I have received NO RESPONSES to multiple emails to their company. I have called on several occasions, and had to give up on a vast majority of those due to having to hold FOR OVER 2 HOURS WITH NO ONE PICKING UP THE PHONE. The one time someone did pick up after a similar amount of hold time, they were so utterly incompetent that after over an hour speaking with the lady, I had to give up. My time has value and I'm not going to spend days of my life trying to get support for a product WHICH IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE COMPANY. Honestly, the level of 'blocking' I have experienced should be illegal when trying to get warranty care. Now, I was just going to accept my loss and never do business with this company again, but I just received what is possibly one of the most infuriating emails I've ever had. The Maytronics CEO, Franck Sogaard, thinks it is appropriate to acknowledge their horrendous customer support over the past year, NOT DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT ME OR MY BROKEN ROBOT, and then offer a 'gesture of appreciation' to LET ME BUY MORE OF THEIR PRODUCTS FOR 10-15% off. LOL. Ok, Franck. I think we know what the problem is - YOU. Franck has time to send marketing emails disguised as apologies, and yet no one at the company can return months old emails. Maybe, Franck, you should do something actually useful and start answering customer emails yourself. To be clear, the CEO of this company just acknowledged that their customer service is horrible in areas including slow responses, delayed issue resolution, and slow parts delivery. Here is the exact email, which combined with the above information should allow you to make an informed decision not to do business with this company: " I’m reaching out personally to say something we should have said sooner: we’re truly sorry. Over the past year, many of you contacted our customer service team for help - whether it was to fix your Dolphin robot, get replacement parts, or simply ask a question. And too often, we didn’t meet your expectations. We were slow to respond, delayed in resolving issues, and at times, left you feeling unheard. That’s not the Dolphin experience we promise, and it’s certainly not the one you deserve. At Dolphin, we pride ourselves on delivering joy, simplicity, and reliability. Your pool should be a place of peace, not frustration. And yet, we know that for many of you, our service fell short. We let you down - and for that, I offer my deepest apologies. We’ve taken your feedback to heart. We’ve made changes to our support systems, invested in faster part delivery, and restructured our service teams to ensure that when you need us, we’re there. These improvements are already underway, and we’re committed to earning back your trust - one clean pool at a time.

Funciona bien, aunque si quieres que la deje perfecta necesita ponerse 2/3 veces. Sube paredes y limpia línea de flotación

I was skeptical that this little robot would be able to go around all the areas of my pool.We have a kidney shaped pool 32' across and a deep end of about Eight feet deep Setup was incredibly easy and there's really no programming. There's a couple of extra buttons on the control module. That I don't know what they do but I but I plugged the device in attached the cord to the power module. Read the instructions and was up and running in. Five minutes once opening the box. It took off and the shallow end like a little tractor running along the floor went into the deep end. Where I was afraid it was going to get stuck and not be able to make its way back out but somehow it goes to the very deepest part. And then goes all the way up the walls and then all the way to the surface. As you see in the video right along the wall. Overall I'd have to say I'm very happy with this. The basket inside is easy to clean and it has a really good fine mesh on it so it will trap the black dirt that seems to gather on The bottom of the pool then you open the bottom of the basket drop out the debris. Then I put it in 1 Of my pool buckets and swish it around cleaning the fine mesh in the basket releasing the dirt into the bucket and throw that dirty water into The grass... Overall very impressed it climbs the walls and seems to not get stuck in the deep end which I was worried about.

Ottimo, comprato per la mia piscina a L con piramide rovesciata, ottima pulizia
