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 EON 100
- The Hook Up: In an 11 robot test it ran 2 h 38 min and covered 100% of the floor, 74% of walls and 66% of stairs and bench. Best waterline reach at about 3 in, zero particles leaked, but its rear exhaust stirred leaves near walls. Picked as the premium choice for sand, silt and pollen. Source
- The Pool Nerd: Tested in a pool. Said it cleans floor, walls, waterline and ledges well with good build quality, but SmartMap missed some spots and charging means removing and carrying the robot each time. Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved in favor of corded Dolphins. Source
