10 Best Robot Pool Cleaners

The Dolphin S400 robotic pool cleaner is designed for inground pools up to 15 meters long, effectively cleaning floors, walls, and waterlines. It offers flexible cleaning cycle options ranging from 1 to 2.5 hours, allowing users to tailor the cleaning to their pool’s needs. Its navigation system uses CleverClean scanning and PowerStream mobility to cover the pool thoroughly and avoid missing spots, while all-terrain brushes provide active scrubbing for various surfaces.

The multi-layer top-load filtration system captures both fine and coarse debris efficiently, which helps maintain water clarity and reduces manual cleaning. The 18-meter swivel cable prevents tangles, and the unit can be controlled remotely via the MyDolphin Plus app using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, adding convenience for scheduling and operation. Weighing 7.5 kg and coming with a durable caddy, it’s lightweight and easy to transport or store.

Being corded means it requires a power outlet nearby, which could limit flexibility. Priced as a premium option, the 4-year warranty provides peace of mind about durability. This cleaner suits pool owners who want thorough, automated maintenance with smart controls and do not mind managing a corded device.

The Dolphin M600 is a solid robotic pool cleaner designed mainly for inground pools up to 15 meters long, which fits well for most residential pools. It cleans not only the pool floor but also the walls and waterline, offering thorough coverage thanks to its water jet propulsion and the multi-layer advanced brush that scrubs effectively on various surfaces. This helps remove stubborn dirt and debris well.

Its large filter can hold a good amount of dirt, including very fine particles, so you won’t need to empty it frequently during cleaning. The robot is powered by a corded electric supply with a multi-function power option allowing for customizable cleaning cycles to match your pool’s specific needs. It also features smart navigation technology for efficient movement and cleaning paths.

The cleaner connects to an app via Wi-Fi, enabling easy control and scheduling from your phone, which adds convenience. With a swivel cable design, it avoids tangles, and the included caddy plus a relatively light weight of 11.5 kg make it easier to handle and store. A 3-year warranty adds peace of mind. While the weight might still be a bit heavy for some users compared to lighter models, and being corded means you’ll need to manage the cable during operation, it suits users with inground pools looking for efficient, automated cleaning with smart features rather than a very lightweight or cordless option.
