What reviewers found
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
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
