A low cost way to keep a flat above-ground pool floor clean without a booster pump or charging. It does not climb walls, has no timer, and its short cycle means big jobs need restarts. Buy it for floor debris in a small above-ground pool, not for walls or silt.

A simple corded Dolphin that adds app control and a weekly timer for in-ground pools up to 40 ft. It cleans floors and walls but not the waterline, and Maytronics now covers it for only one year. If fine debris or waterline grime is your main problem, step up to a higher Dolphin.

What reviewers found

Dolphin E10

  • Poolbots (retailer review): In their test it cleaned floors reasonably well with an easy basket, but it does not clean walls or the waterline, has no scheduler, tangles easily, and let silt and sand cloud the water. Source

Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi

  • The Pool Nerd: Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved: Dolphin cut the Nautilus warranty to one year, newer units ship with standard mesh filters instead of NanoFilters, and it climbs walls but does not scrub the waterline. Source
  • Poolbots (retailer review): Headlined great cleaning performance but missing essential features: no waterline cleaning, Gen 1 filter cartridges and no NanoFilters. Source
