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
MOVA Diver A10
- The Smart Home Hookup: In a 10 robot test, ran 3 h 51 min and covered 99% of the floor, 76% of the walls and 49% of stairs and bench. Briefly got stuck in the deep end, scrubbed walls poorly, and its suction cut off on the shallow shelf. Source
- AndroidGuys (4.1): Floor only cleaning lasted about 4 h per charge and wall and waterline cleaning about 3 h. Reviewer did not hit the Wi-Fi setup problems some users reported. Source
