Cleaner Pools

Looking for reviews online is the first thing many people do now when considering making even the smallest purchase, so when you’re considering spending over $1,000 on a pool cleaner, we’re sure you’ll want to seek assurances that your money will be well spent.

We have taken some time to find independent reviews of various products from the Dolphin pool cleaner range, and what we found, it must be said, was overall extremely positive.

Most reviews, it seems, came from owners who had previously owned some form of automatic swimming pool cleaner previously, be it a dolphin automatic pool cleaner or another brand, most commonly Aquabot, who really seem to be Dolphin’s main competitor in the robotic or automatic pool cleaner market, although probably lesser known and with perhaps less international outlets.

One review of the dolphin diagnostic robotic pool cleaner found on pricegrabber.com starts with the summary “Just plain AMAZING!!!!!!! Worth every penny”, the only faults the reviewer in question could find to comment on were the colour choices and high price. According to the review the dolphin pool cleaner cleaned their 20 x 40 in-ground vinyl pool in less than two hours, cleaning also took minutes in total.

A reviewer from amazon.com on the Dolphin automatic pond cleaner with caddy gave a slightly more conservative four star review, and even gives the remote control a cautious thumbs up as being handy to send the unit back to pick up a missed leaf from the base of the swimming pool.

Epinions.com carries a review of the Dolphin dynamic pool cleaner with remote, again we step down a star to three stars in this instance. The main concerns raised with the pool cleaner revolved around the power cord, which could apparently become tangled and interfere with proper sweeping of the floor, and the fact the unit could come up the pool walls too high and “gulp” air, meaning it would fail to submerge properly back into the swimming pool. At the time of writing the viewer seemed more inclined to swap back to an Aquabot unit rather than replace the cleaner with another Dolphin product when the time came for a replacement.

On amazon.com there is another interesting, damning one star review of the dolphin automatic pool cleaner with caddy, however this is countered by a reply which offers a glowing endorsement of using the unit to clean a swimming pool overnight following an Arizona dust storm. So make of that what you will.
