Premier

My old Omeron finally quit after 6 years of hard use. I have been so pleased with how well it cleans my gunite pool that I purchase this same model as the replacement. The fine mesh filter grabs all the dirt and leaves form the pool and is very easy to clean. The filter from my 6 year old unit are still in like new so I am keeping it to do quick swaps before rinsing with the hose. I am always amazed to watch it climb the sides of the pool and clean along the tiles at the water line. My good friend who also has a pool saw mine working and decided to buy one to replace his cleaner. He is also very happy with how well this Omeron works.

Worked for about 2 hours ----- power supply died ----- it is now a worthless boat anchor. I did all of the troubleshooting tips. Power supply will not start, even unattached.

Let me tell you, this Dolphin Premier Robotic Pool Cleaner is the best thing to happen to our pool since chlorine. I was bracing myself for hours of setup, reading a manual thicker than a phone book, and listening to my husband invent new curse words—but nope. Plug it in, drop it in the pool, and BOOM—sparkling clean water without the drama. It’s so user-friendly that even my husband (bless his heart) figured it out on the first try. No YouTube tutorials, no frantic Googling, no calls to tech support. I’m still in shock. This little robot zooms around like it owns the place, climbs walls like Spider-Man, and somehow manages to clean better than we ever could manually. I half expected it to start folding laundry too. If you're tired of scrubbing and skimming—and want to feel like a pool-owning genius—get the Dolphin. Bonus: you’ll finally see your spouse win a battle with technology.

The first pool opening of the year usually consists of me spending the better part of an hour fishing out all of the fall and winter debris that has fallen into the pool around the cover (how that happens, I have no idea!). So when I read a review from a Dolphin product dealer, raving about the large capacity leaf bag on this model, I knew I had to give it a try. And boy am I glad I did! The initial clean was amazing but the bag did get full after vacuuming up about 90% of the leaf litter on the bottom of the pool. So I cleaned out the bag and ran it again. The pool was 100% clean from the floor, all the way up to the water line! The large capacity bag is made of a thick nylon material. So after the second pool sweep, I removed the bag, shook out the debris, and then ran it through a gentle cycle wash in my washing machine minus any fabric softener to maintain its absorbency. Worked like a charm! I also love that you can drop it in the water, leave it, and choose settings to have it run in its own everyday, every other day or every 3 days. I make sure the entire cord is in the water and just close the pool cover over it so that it can run whether I’m here or not. I choose to run it every day and just open it up and clean out the filters on the weekend. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Worth every penny!

I bought this robot to replace my old Polaris 280 and booster pump so in part this is a comparison to that previous bottom robot. Overall this one cleans well and comes with different filter packages. The challenge and ultimate frustration is that the ports on the bottom have springs to close them shut. If anything impedes those small doors from closing the debris inside will discharge back into the pool. This in my opinion is poorly designed as a trap for fine debris. Additionally the cleaning of the pool is completely random so stairs and turns (if your pool is not a rectangle ) get missed. This requires the robot to be used 2x as much. Lastly the jets are powerful and the ability to climb up the sides is good but it is heavy to remove from pool once fully submerged. In summary, does not seem worth the money spent.

So far so good. I should have bought this year's ago, does a great job. Only complaint is that it always gets stuck on the drains in the deep end. I guess maybe because the drains are raised, but it climbs walls and steps but can't get over there drains....lol

Schedule stop working within 2 weeks. Dolphin won't touch it, missing serial number. I guess they remove it when you buy a refurbished model. Cannot navigate a jelly bean shaped pool, regardless of what they advertise. Gets stuck going back and forth in the middle. Have to pick up and move if I want the shallow or deep end done. Still turns on, but I have to press the on button everyday. Waste of money This is the second Dolphin I have owned. First one just stopped working after 2 years.

My pool is difficult to clean because there are lots of trees/shrubs dropping leaves, it has large cement fake rocks protruding into the pool, it’s an irregular shape with many pretty sharp bends, and it has two ledges/stairs that most cleaners can’t get to. I’ve tried many. This one cleans the sides and bottom very well. It tries to do the rocks. Can’t do the stairs. The cable is much better at resisting tangles than the previous cleaner that died. We’ll see how long this one lasts.
