(2026 Model) E10 Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Active Scrubber Brush, Top Load Filters Access, Ideal for Above-Ground Pools up to 30 FT in Length

This is the best reasonably priced, corded, in-ground pool vacuum available. We had another, more expensive brand, which would miss parts of my pool, even after three cycles. The Dolphin E25 model is basically plug and play. I didn't need to use the associated app, and it works great. It has two filter boxes, does a great job on the pool floor and sides, and doesn't get stuck on stairs. It's easy to clean and filters about 4500 gallons per hour, much more than most cordless models, which typically lose battery life after a season. The cord is 51 feet and makes it easy to pull in when it finishes. Very happy with this purchase.

I am writing this review after two months using an E50 unit. Fairly disappointing for such an expensive robot. The robot continuously gets stuck on the main drain. REALLY? It can stay on the drain for hours without any notification instead of cleaning the pool. See attached video. When it is not stuck, the movement is completely random. I do have a large pool an after 2.5 hours of cleaning with the naked eye one can see spots on the floor have yet to be cleaned. About cleaning the water line, when the mode "cleaning the water line only" is selected, the robot stays more time on the floor than cleaning the walls. It does reach the water line, but after a few seconds it looses grip. Then goes to the bottom, drives off the wall for a few seconds, and starts turning around. A lost of time and since it does not clean a wall continuously it misses spots also. The app is not user friendly. The manual drive has a multiple-seconds lag with the actual movement, so it is useless. Finally, notice that if you buy this unit and decide to return it the fee is 50% if the box has been opened and 20% if unopened, and you will need to pay shipping fees. I will NEVER buy anything from this seller again.

Very easy to use, compact and does a better job than hand vacuuming. Especially the walls and tile line. I would recommend the caddy for transport and moving and storage. We're elderly and this is a game changer.

We have an above ground, Intex Easy-Set pool. I've struggled with keeping it clean the entire time we've had it. I first tried a manual vacuum that connected to the filter intake, but the filter struggled with it (like trying to suck water through a REALLY long straw) and it was a hassle to set up and use. Then I tried a self powered vacuum that attached to a pole...this worked better but was a lot of work and time consuming because you constantly had to stop and clean out the small debris filter. Then I tried one of those automatic filters than you attach to the water inlet...this worked OK but didn't filter small particles, did not have any kind of scrubbing action and was also a bit of a hassle to set up (having to shut the filter off, attach the huge hose, restart the filter, etc.) Which brings me to the Dolphin. Of all the cleaners I've tried, this is by far the best in terms of ease of use and cleaning ability. You plug it in, chuck it in the pool and run a cycle (or two). It gets the pool as clean as any of the methods I've tried but with almost none of the work or drawbacks. Couple things of note... Our Intex pool has sloped edges, I was worried about this causing the Dolphin to tip over or have problems. This hasn't happened...the Dolphin is totally stable and a happy discovery was that even though this model is not designed to do so...the sloped sides allow the Dolphin to climb the walls pretty well. One downside is that because of the shape of the corners of the pool and the size of the Dolphin, it can't really reach all the way into the corners...I had to use a brush to push the debis out of the corners for the Dolphin to grab. I've seen a couple complaints about the Dolphin doing "wheelies" all the time and not cleaning because of this. Ours does do wheelies every now and then...but I'm pretty sure this is by design. From watching it, it seems to do wheelies as a method of changing direction. It'll pop up on it's back wheels, turn, then lay back down and keep going. Another complaint I've seen is in regards to the filter basket not catching small particles. Based on those complaints I went ahead and ordered the additional "ultra-fine" filter (which is made of a papery mesh material, similar to a pool cartridge filter). In hindsight, I don't think I needed to buy that. I don't know for sure but I "think" they may have upgraded the included filter at some point as the standard filter has no problem catching algae particles and the regular "pool scum" type stuff. The included filter basket is not made with the same "pool cartridge" material, but does still have a very fine screen that seems to get everything. I have not even tried the additional filter as I haven't needed it. So anyhow...they're expensive compared to many options. But if you like having a very clean pool with little effort...this is the way to go!

I've waited to write this review until we used this robot for a decent amount of time. I can say that it is a real time saver when it comes time to clean the pool. Almost every time I clean my pool it covers nearly every inch of the pool and it cleans very well. There have been a few times when it didn't get the entire pool floor, but it generally does great. I think one of the best things about the robot is that it has a self contained filter basket. So there's no hooking it into your filter. I have many trees around my pool and they drop a good amount of dirt into the pool. Typically I put the robot in the pool every day because there's dirt on the pool floor. All the dirt is captured in the robot's filter basket. This means I need to clean my pool filter much less often. When the robot is done cleaning I take it out of the pool and put it in my shed. Then I clean the filter basket which takes about 30 seconds. All in all I spend maybe 5 minutes a day putting the robot into the pool then taking it out and cleaning the filter basket. I used to spend 30 - 45 minutes every other day with the vacuum that connected to my pool filter via hose. This robot has done and incredible job cleaning my pool and saving me time. So why only 3 stars? Two reasons. 1. On the Amazon page for the robot it says quite clearly "The E10 is backed by a 2 year manufacturer's quality warranty protecting your investment." That was one of the main reasons I bought it. When you spend this kind of money you expect a longer warranty. My opinion is the warranty should be at least 3 years but there are few robots, if any, with a warranty that long. However, even though the listing says it has a 2 year warranty, when you get the robot and you look at the warranty card you can see what the warranty really is. The warranty card says 2 years for plastic parts and 1 year for cable, power supply and motor unit. Why not make that clear in the listing?? If you look at one of my images you'll see the actual warranty card statement that I put a red box around. It's highly unlikely a plastic part is going to fail in 2 years. It's way more likely something mechanical or electrical will fail. So they are being very deceptive about the true warranty on the unit. I did buy the extended warranty through Asurion, but I'm not holding out much hope they'll actually be helpful if needed based on reviews I've read about them. Hopefully I never have to find out. 2. Customer service appears to be non-existent. When I received my unit the filter basket had a hole in it. I know that sounds bad but it was in a place where it didn't really have a negative affect on the operation. However, being a new unit and being quite expensive I wanted to get the filter basket replaced with one that didn't have a hole in it. I called their support line and got no answer. I then sent an email and got no response to my email. So I'm assuming they don't really have a customer support group. Or if they do then they just don't care about actually helping their customers. I ended up having my wife sew up the hole in the basket. If you look at my other image you can see where she sewed up the hole. Filter works fine, but like I said, this is an expensive item and I should be able to expect quality. I do recommend the robot. Just keep in mind the 2 year warranty is not a complete warranty and good luck with their customer support if you need it. ***Update 6-27-2019*** After my review went public I the company responded to my comment almost immediately. I emailed them at the email address they gave in the response to my comment. They apologized for the lack of customer support during my initial attempts to reach out to them and they sent me a new filter to replace the one that had damage when I got the product new. So apparently I was just unlucky when I first tried to reach them. Since writing the review my experience with their customer service has been stellar. I still think the warranty statement for the product on Amazon needs to be clarified, but because of the great customer service I finally got I'm not going to remove any points for that. If I could give 4.5 stars I would. But all in all the product works great and customer service took quickly took care of the issue once I was able to reach them.

Overall cleans well, except there’s no rhyme or reason to its path. Does a great job on floor but is lacking with walls and waterline.

This didn’t work straight out of box. The motor came on and it tried to go but wouldn’t. My issue is NOT with the seller, it is with Amazon and the manufacturer. Amazon would not let me return it until I had contacted the manufacturer, they wanted me to send it to them and let them repair it. This went on with us going back and forth for days. Finally Amazon approved my return after 2 weeks.

I had high hopes for this pool cleaner as an update to my Dolphin Triton that died a few weeks ago after only 3 years of use. The E30 promised better Wi-Fi connectivity and smarter navigation, so I shelled out the cash thinking it'd be a seamless upgrade for my inground pool. Boy, was I wrong—this thing is a total lemon. The first use was promising: it picked up about 75% of the leaves scattered across the pool floor and filled the basket to the brim, which had me optimistic for easy maintenance ahead. But starting the next use, it turned into a nightmare. No matter where I drop it in—shallow end, deep end, middle of the pool—it beelines straight for one of the drains like it's magnetized to it. Within about 15 minutes, it's stuck, wheels spinning futilely. I've tried repositioning it mid-cycle, or turning off the pump. Nothing works. It literally seeks out that drain every single time, as if the "smart" mapping is broken and fixated on self-sabotage. I reached out to Maytronics support, hoping for a firmware update or quick fix. Their "solution"? Modify my pool's drain so the robot bumps off it. Are you kidding me? Spend hundreds on a premium cleaner, and they want me to hack my own pool infrastructure? Fix your robot, folks! This isn't innovative engineering; it's lazy design that ignores basic real-world pool setups. At this point, I'm returning it and, after the Triton dying after only 3 years and now this debacle, looking only for non-Dolphin/Maytronics products. Save your money and stick with something proven—or at least one that doesn't hunt down its own kryptonite. Major disappointment from a brand I trusted. 1 star only because zero isn't an option.
