had a Polaris 9300 which lasted 7 years with a few broken wheels and basket replacements then it crapped out. got this puppy and so far its awesome. love the tank tracks on it. gets all the dirt in the corners on the deep end and tons of leaves blown in from shrubs and trees around pool. its lightweight and drains fast when you pull it from the water. the basket is easy to empty from the top and the bottom opens to just tap against a tree in the woods and everything falls out. I spray the fine silt off the mesh sides of the filter basket with the hose and just drop it back in. best thing is that the cord does not tangle! power supply light and easy to use and has timers. I just hope it lasts as long as the Polaris.

Bought this to replace Hayward Droid that kept having problems with debris in gears. Long term problem with Haywardndroids. This dolphin gets leaves fine. Climbs sides ok, but can't climb stairs and leaves fine dirt on bottom of pool. So we wind up using both daily. This would probably be fine in an area that doesn't have dusty wind and mostly leaves to clean up.

It is made of what seems like a durable plastic, so I hope it holds up. This is probably what makes it light weight. It is easy for me to handle. It's simple to use and clean. I will say that I have sat and watched it through its whole cycle and it does not clean the sides completely around at the top, but I'm ok with that because I knew there would be places it couldn't reach and I would still need to brush, like around the ladder. I'm fine with this. It does a wonderful job on the rest of the pool. My main concern was brushing while sweeping and it does this beautifully. My pool sparkles when it's done. This review might not sound like it but...I LOVE IT!! Couldn't wait to get it. I had cleaned the pool a couple of days before it arrived but we ran it right away anyway to see how it worked. The pool looked clean but I was surprised to see the dirt that it had in the filter when it was done. Easy to clean. Basket slips right out, rinse it off, let dry and slip right back in. Thanks.Read full review

I really struggled & agonized over this purchase. We have a smallish pool but complex with various shelves, steps & bar stools. I also have a protected tree that might be the worst type of tree on the planet to have near a pool. Drops leaves and debris all day long, all year. I wasn't sure if a cleaner would be able to do a decent enough job to justify the cost. But with that tree, we had to do something. We've had this little guy, now tagged as Herbie, for about a month now. Wife and I are still stunned by the great job this Herbie does. Fantastic. What a time saver! He can't do the sun-shelf because it is only about 6" deep but he does a great job with the rest of the pool. Even the water line gets a good cleaning. He gets all of the little leaves the tree drops. As well as parts of palm fronds and other debris. We are beside ourselves. Couldn't be happier. Read full review

The Dolphin Nautilus is the easiest, high-tech, product to use that I have ever seen. I took it out of the box, plugged it in to a GFC outlet near, but away, from the pool, dropped the Dolphin in the pool and pressed the large blue button on the controller. One button starts the unit and it runs about an hour and a half to complete it's cycle. This incredible device runs along the bottom of the pool like a small tank, spinning it's wide flapper wheel, pulling debris into it's large onboard basket. It intelligently navigates the pool, figuring out where it has been and where it needs to go. This unit is incredible at climbing the walls and stairs in the pool as well. When it climbs to the top of the walls, it briefly/partially comes out of the water which drives our small dog crazy. There is no noise and the collection basket comes right out for empty/cleaning. Our pool is in a cage so we don't get a lot of large debris. We purchased this model because it works independently from the pool's filter system and it focuses on churning up algae that attempts to grow on the pool's underwater surfaces. Watching this product do it's thing is actually fun to see. Expensive at nearly $600.00 delivered but it matches our needs perfectly. Read full review
