Frequently asked questions
The Dolphin E10 Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner uses an active scrubbing brush that spins at twice the speed of the robot. It provides deep-cleaning action to thoroughly scrub away dirt and debris from the floor and walls of your pool. The robot's superior filtering capabilities trap and lock-in all sorts of dirt and debris, leaving your pool clean and ready for a swim.
The Dolphin E10 is specifically designed for above-ground swimming pools. It is ideal for pools that are up to 30 feet in length. It may not perform as effectively in in-ground pools or larger above-ground pools.
One of the key features of the Dolphin E10 Pool Cleaner is its easy-access top load filtration system. This allows you to easily remove and clean the filters without the need for complicated disassembly. Its simplistic design and user-friendly features make the maintenance process hassle-free.
No, the Dolphin E10 operates independently once you lower it into the pool. You donβt have to babysit the cleaner or manually direct it. After cleaning, the robot will automatically shut off, saving energy and enhancing the lifespan of the machine.

I live in a "cottage community" named Kingwood, TX, just outside of Houston. I don't expect that to mean much to the average Amazon shopper, but it's important to note that Kingwood is marketed as "The Livable Forest". When it was being developed in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, great care was taken to preserve the trees in what had once been timberland owned by paper and wood companies. The foliage is very dense. There is no place in my yard or time of year when pine needles and leaves aren't constantly falling. We even have a sweetgum tree that drops little gumball-sized pinecones that are worse to step on than lego, especially barefoot, like you would be while swimming. Our pool is under constant assault. Raking every day was a hopeless exercise in futility. We bought a battery-operated "leaf blaster" that attaches to the end of a pole and vacuums the leaves into a net bag. When gumballs weren't jamming the impeller, it was such a huge job to vacuum that the kids and I would take turns working and still be too tired to play in the pool when we finished the endeavor. Worse, if the pool started to get algae, we couldn't see the bottom to clean out the debris. We would treat/shock/filter out the algae and discover a layer of leaves at the bottom, still covered in algae that would re-infest the pool as soon as they were stirred up by a rake or the leaf blaster, leaving us blind to continue removing them, and the maddening vicious cycle would continue. It's a 27' pool with two pump inlets, so adding skimmers to those helped catch a LOT of the leaves and debris before it sank to the bottom, but the skimmers can't catch everything and the cycle continued. I asked a few neighbors, did a lot of online research, and sifted through hundreds of pool cleaning options (just watch what happens to your facebook timeline after you've googled it a few times). A highly-trusted colleague and friend bragged on and on about her Dolphin robot and the reviews were good, so I got hung up between the E10 and the more expensive Escape. The Escape purports to be able to climb walls and have better mapping of the pool surface (plus wifi/app controls, IIRC). I decided to save myself $200 and go with the cheaper E10. NO REGRETS! It doesn't matter if the water is clear or not. Just drop it in, turn it on, and walk away. Come back in an hour, empty the basket, and start it again. Lather, rinse, repeat until the basket comes out clean. It picks up leaves, pine needles, GUMBALLS, and even small sticks! If algae rears its ugly head, we can be confident that there is no debris left on the floor of the pool before kicking it with only one treatment and shock. It's not supposed to be able to climb walls, but it does occasionally go up the wall to the water line before backing back down. Reviewers complaining about it doing wheelies don't seem to understand how it works. This is how it reorients itself to change directions. An external bag instead of a filter basket would be nice so that I could add a bigger one, but then the filtration might not be as good. This isn't much of a shortcoming, because the basket is extremely easy to remove and hose out. The screens can even be popped out of it for more thorough cleaning. The power supply did fail on ours less than a year after we bought it but Maytronics, for their part, was great. They had me email some photos of the failing unit's behavior, asked a few simple questions, then sent me a new one without even asking that I return the old one (I'm a pretty technical guy, so I may try to fix it as a spare, should the new one die after the warranty expires). I REALLY wish the wire had a swivel joint on the robot (it does swivel at the power supply, sort of). After a couple of cycles, the wire will be hopelessly wound up and tangled. It's not too much of a hassle to disconnect it from the power supply and untangle it, but it shouldn't be necessary. Some users have reported good results by putting foam pool noodles over the wire to prevent it from tangling. I may try that. All in all, we have a huge above-ground pool in a notoriously hot environment with lots of trees. It's a perfect storm of conditions that can turn pool ownership into a nightmare. This robot changed our lives and was worth the expense.

I just ordered another unit because my 6 y. o. E-10 just died. My original unit was called an "Echo" but the3y look identical. But you must realize that here in S. FL I clean my pool twice a week or more, 52 weeks a year and I have many trees and no pool cage. If you live in an area where you close the pool for the winter my use is the equivalence of 12 seasons for you. My pool is an inground 20 x 40 ft (29,000 gals.) gunite pool, which the E-10 is not recommended for but I could not be more pleased with the operation. The unit cleans the pool in one session and climbs right up past the water line. The wire is plenty long but I do have to disconnect it every few weeks and unwind the kinks. If there is a draw back to using E-10 in a pool larger than recommended is that when I have a lot of leaves in the pool, the basket will overflow and some debri will get into the propeller housing or overflow back into the pool. It takes just the removal of a few self tapping screws to get at the pump propeller to clean it out. No biggie. Just clean the basket before the robot completes its cycle if there is a lot of leaves in the pool. Or buy the $1, 500 unit meant for a bigger pool. Now for the bad news. While I could not be more pleased with the robot's cleaning function, the factory support is less than zero. I wore out the 4 wheels and the axle bushings which caused the rubber tracks to fall off and my dealer could not get me replacements. Dealing directly with the factory was also a big zero. When I eventually tracked down replacement parts from EZtestpools they were able to sell me some from stock and ordered me the rest. Although the parts were cheap it took 3 orders and 3 shipping charges to get what I needed. The shipping was as much as the parts. I blame Maytronics for the problems. I was able to find replacement rubber tracks on Amazon for $15.00 a pair while Dolphin wants $60.00. Another note of caution. While many videos show the control unit being left out in the weather DON"T DO IT! It is not weather proof. Also pull the plug out when the cycle is done. The unit still draws power and feels slightly warm to the touch. My unit started shutting off after a few minutes and I opened up the box out of curiosity. Although I did build a deck box to store the unit, there was still a fair amount of corrosion on the circuit board. I resoldered all the connections and bridged a portion of the circuit that looked corroded through. Low and behold that fixed the unit. My latest problem is the unit will not turn on. The blue light goes out as soon as you let go of the button. If I disconnect the wire from the control unit the light will stay on. I assume the wire, motor or both has leaked and parts would run over $400.00 if they are available. I am guilty of leaving the robot in the pool after use. Sometimes all week. I was not happy with the wire from the start. The insulation started cracking after 1 year. It was mostly cosmetic but got really bad lately. I have been told that the extended warranty is worthless because you have to return the unit to them and they can't get parts either. One last thing. The robot removes debri and scrubs the surface of the pool. If you have cloudy water check your chemicals and clean your pool filter. I hear they have an optional fine filter basket but I have not tried it. My pool filter keeps the water clear. All and all I am happy with the unit.

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.

Its been 2 years and just wanted to update performance of this vacuum. Im still amazed at the performance of this. It still going strong and it really gets a workout where my pool is located inder all these trees. If it quit today i would by the exact same one, thats how amazing this machine is. Just wanted everyone to know this is a great purchase for my 12x24 above ground pool. Dolphin makes an excellent product. First review-This replaced my cordless vacuum which very rarely picked up large leaves and never picked up silt or sand. I also didn't like that when ever I tool old one out of pool it dumped alot back into pool. Frustrating. This vac however picks up everything large and small, including silt and sand. The cord never tangled and it ran just under 2 hours. Basket was so full it couldn't of picked up another thing. I am so impressed with this vac and a huge plus its super easy, did not drop one thing back into pool when I removed it. I lightly pulled vac over to steps and use a pole with hook pulled it right out of water. I am a 70 year old female and I'm telling you it's easy. Don't have to wetsuit up either like with old one to manually get all larger stuff up and scoop up tiny fragments. Water is 59 and still cold with wetsuit. I just love this, makes my life easier.

I had been using a really good Nitro NC51 Wall Climber Robotic Pool cleaner for the past 8 years for my 24' round above ground pool. It was a GREAT pool bottom cleaner that also cleaned the walls up to the water line. But 2 years ago I spent $250 to replace the cord and the power supply. Last week the pump motor died. Decided not to sink any more money into the old Nitro which is hard to find parts for these days. Time for something new. Did a lot of research and bought the Dolphin E10 (which rumor has it is the same unit as the Dolphin S50 and Escape...just different colors). Honeymoon phase? Yes...it arrived today and I had it in the water 15 minutes after I un-boxed it. I'll give an update in a month or so after I've used it a few times. Fingers crossed. Pros ------ 1) Cleans great. This new cleaner cleans the floor of my pool better than my old Nitro. Note that I also bought the Ultra Fine Filter Basket with the E10 so I don't know how well the the regular filter basket works. 2) Very easy to swap in/out the Ultra Fine Filter Basket or the stock basket that comes with the unit. There is nothing to change out on mine. Read some reviews where you had to change something to swap baskets. Not on mine. 3) Although it is not designed to climb the walls, this one went up the wall about a foot or two....at least today it did. 4) The cord does not get tangled. My old cord on my Nitro used to tangle up all the time. This one is brand new and I had zero tangling...I don't know, maybe I just got lucky. Cord is very thick and seems more heavy duty that my last cleaner's cord. 5) Very easy to use. Easy to put in the water, easy to connect and power up. After the 1st 90 minute cycle was done, my pool was about 90% clean. Only a couple of spots near the edges of the pool bottom were not cleaned. So I turned the power button off then back on and ran it for another 90 mins. (Note: I read in the manual after that it's recommended to wait 30 seconds before turning back on again for another cycle. I'll do that next time.) Pool was virtually spotless after the 2nd 90 minute cycle. Very impressed. 6) Easy to clean the filter basket when done. Just remove the basket and spray it down lightly with a hose. My old Nitro unit had a plastic frame piece and a mesh bag that I had to deal with rinsing and putting back together. This one is much easier. 7) It's pretty heavy. About twice as heavy as my old Nitro. This is both good and bad in my eyes. To me this should mean it hugs the bottom of the pool better than a lighter unit, and probably cleans better. 8) I think the "tank tracks" allow the unit to do more cleaning than spinning around like my old Nitro did which had wheels. 9) Price. Relatively speaking this unit (even with the extra $ to buy the ultra fine filter basket) is less expensive than a lot of other models. Cons ------ 1) As many have stated, it's a bummer it doesn't come stock with the Ultra Fine Filter basket. 2) The 90 minute cycle time is a bit short. My old cleaner had a 1 hour cycle time option or a 3 hour cycle time option. I wish this one also had a 2 or 3 hour cycle time. But it's really not a big deal to run it again after the first cycle ends if needed. 3) Since the unit is heavy I'm going to be extra careful when pulling the cleaner across the pool back to my deck before I pull it out of the water. I learned this from my old cleaner after spending over $100 on a new cord (and I was very careful with that cord). The cords are one of the first things to go on these cleaners. I made a "pole hook" to reach down into the water to pull the unit up to the surface of the water by the E10's handle. I can then grab the unit with my hand by the handle to take it out of the water. With the weight of this cleaner being so heavy, especially when it's loaded with water, there's no way i'd every pull it out by the cord. (Note: my "pole hook" consists of an old broom stick (without the broom) and a screw-in wall hanger that you'd normally see on the wall of someone's garage. Took me 2 minutes to screw the hanger hook into the end of the broom stick. Done. Works great to lift the E10 up to the water line.) So there you go. A lot more pros than cons. Happy camper. Only time will tell if I'll be happy over the long run.

I love this little vacuum! I place it in my above ground, Coleman pool every few days. We have a lot of trees on our property so leaves are always present in our pool. This vacuum is so easy to use. Just place it in the water, let the air bubbles come out and let it sink. Then turn it on and walk away. It will do its thing and turn itself off. I do take out pool floats and anything else that may snare the floating cord. The majority of the time it picks up every piece of debris in the pool including hair, dirt, sand and leaves. It has even managed to find some tiny toys my kids have brought into the pool and left to sink. If it gets snagged on a wrinkle or item too large to fit inside, I have witnessed it do a wheelie but only to change direction away from the object it hit. If there happens to be air in still, it may climb slightly up a side, but it will gently lower itself back to the floor and continue on its way. I'm very satisfied with the product and it makes my life so much easier. I spend less time skimming and retrieving leaves and debris by hand, and more time swimming.

Edit #3 at 3 years old. Working off and on. Fan sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Does NOT stay on the floor of the pool but rather rides on it's back wheels. We even tried zip ties with a weight to keep it down but nope. It did that straight out of the box intermittently but now is constant. I cannot explain to you how much I hate this thing. Do no buy it! Edit #2 at 2 years old, dead again. At 1yr 4 months the brain died to the machine, (see edit #1.)Company sent new one out however it was so late that the pool was too far gone. Closed early last summer. Had to drain it this year and refill. We've put the robot in, maybe 10 times in a freshly filled pool just to keep up with pollen and leaves. I've just gone out and found the brain is dead, again. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY THIS. I'm ordering a Polaris now. There's a reason the price I paid has significantly dropped. Obviously others are seeing it's trash and they're having a hard time selling them. !!Edit. At 1yr and 4months old the power supply has stopped working. I've contacted customer service and am waiting for a response. I'm sure as all things, it's a1yr warranty and we're out of luck. I'll update the review if I find otherwise. For now, the stars go down to 1. Something this expensive shouldn't have issues it's second season in. Remember... This is a pool cleaner so it's not used year round. It's been used 6 months and stored, indoors out of the sun the rest of the time.!!!!! Had this a year now. Her name is Myrtle. Best way I can describe her is you know those dudes that have sugar babies? Super expensive, way more effort than necessary for how much they cost and a headache... Yeah, well. That's Myrtle. She will go behind the steps at every conceivable opportunity. She will only suck up what she seems to be enough and not an ounce more. One stick sends her reeling and she doesn't know what to do. She's an absolute PAIN to hoist out of the water. High maintenance. Long hair in the pool tangles her fan blades. She can't be in the sun out of the water. Her brain isn't water proof, only water "resistant". Her brain also overheats in the sun so you must provide the brain with shade. You can't use the cord to pull her out of the water... BUT she's still easier than the others and I can run my filter/jet while she's scrubbing away. She doesn't have bulky hoses and crap. So, will I buy another when she dies. Yes. Will I gripe bc something this expensive shouldn't be so dang finicky? Also yes. π€£

Love it! Iβve had it for three years now. I have not had one problem and it does a great job on our in ground fiberglass pool. Biggest mistake people make is leaving their pool vacuum in the pool after the 2 hr cycle is finished. Like overnight or for days. That will reduce its life drastically or even cause issues. You have to take it out and rinse it after each use with fresh water and store it indoors. Never leave in the pool longer than necessary to vacuum the pool. Thatβs the key to it working for a long time for any type of auto pool vac. Also, never put it in if the pool is being shocked. Highly recommend.
