Description

Take whatever preconceived notions you may have about pool robots and throw them out. The all-new Escape is here with groundbreaking technology to ensure that your pool is cleaned to a whole new level. Escape’s low voltage DC motors operate on nearly 90% less power than old fashioned cleaners. While other pool cleaners can expend a massive 1800 watts of power, the Escape robot requires just 180 watts which is just 5 cents per hour. For most pools, vacuuming isn’t enough to remove dirt and other stubborn build-ups attached to the pool’s floor. That’s why engineers equipped the Escape with the active scrubbing brush to deliver a new level of clean. Water between the wheels & pool surface results in slippage and lost efficiency. Escape takes a radical departure from the conventional wheel with continuous rubber tracks. No more slipping. No more wasted energy. For a complete clean, your robot needs filtration that can handle debris of all size. Escape’s massive filter cartridge is easily accessed from the top. Messy, cumbersome debris bags used by traditional pool cleaners are a thing of the past. Gone are the days of watching your robot aimlessly wander. Smart navigation and scanning software uses advanced algorithms to efficiently clean your pool. Escape’s ability to sense walls, ladders and drains delivers uninterrupted cleaning.

I love this vacuum - so convenient. 3 years old and going strong.
I bought this pool vac after our booster pump went out for the 2nd time, maybe even third time. The only thing our booster pump does is run the pool vacuum. This one doesn't hook up to the booster pump, it is independent of any of our pool equipment. I have this for two years, bought it in September 2022 and it is running fine. I keep the controller in a waterproof box during the summer, and it gets really hot here in Texas, but I have not had an issue. I will say that after 2 years, the cord that runs from the controller to the robot seems to be deteriorating, but honestly, this vacuum has lasted so much longer than the Polaris ones I had - I felt like I was buying one every year or so, and then I would have to replace the booster pump as well. I love this thing - I will never go back to the other style of vacuum. This one works great. We have a lot of leaves in the fall and I don't have an issue with the cleaner picking anything up - it picks up big leaves and fine particles of dirt. Buy one, you won't be sorry. ... show more

A Tale of 2 Cleaners, Out with old, in with the new.
So I have been suffering....and let me repeat this....suffering for over 5 years with a Kreepy Krauly Great White which retails for over $400 bucks. I have been looking at robotic cleaners for a while. This project came in 2 steps. 1) Eliminate most of the tree limbs around/above the pool dropping leaves in, and 2) Purchase a REAL robotic pool cleaner. Step one was completed this weekend. As many limbs as could be removed were cut, and above the pool is completely clear now. Step 2 started on Monday, I found this robotic vacuum out of the blue and it had several good reviews AND a $50 rebate, so I thought WTH, I might as well get it. Yesterday (Wednesday) the vacuum arrived, but I had work to do first. Three huge piles of tree limbs from the tree cutters to haul to the streets so the city waste will pick it up. 3 hours later I had the 2 piles next to the pool clear. Next I had to remove the winter net from the pool which in the past is the only defense against leaves and debris. Of course removing the net means all the debris stuck around the edges of the net most likely goes in the pool, which FYI already had a lot of debris in it because my Kreepy Krauly Great White refuses to go to the shallow end. EVER. So we have a pool full of debris and I removed the Great White and took pictures of it for its ebay auction. I opened the Dolphin Escape excitedly. I couldn't wait to try it. It was ready to go out of the box. Connected the power cable to the power supply after untangling the cord completely, dropped the thing in the water and hit start. 1 hour later, the pool looked like the photo I attached. Now, granted, it didn't get every single thing out on the first try. I ran it for a second cycle and went to bed and when I woke up I'd say 99 percent of the debris was totally gone. I was so happy. I pulled it out, opened the lid and found all that stuff in the debris canister. Easily emptied it, washed it with a hose, and put it back in the unit. I disconnected the power cable, untangled and coiled the cable onto the unit, and placed it upside down as instructed in my storage shed so it could get a nap after all the hard work. I can't say enough how pleased I am about this purchase. I also got the 4 year extended warranty available, which I encourage you to also do. I would say this is a huge win, factoring in of course it it lasts a long time. I'm thinking I'll have to do this maybe 2 or 3 times a week in the winter time but I may not even need the pool net anymore! EDIT: I noticed when the cleaner switches directions it leaves the ground and floats, popping a wheelie. I called maytronics and they said this is a feature, not a flaw. I find that difficult to believe, however since it still cleans properly every single time, I cannot hold it against them. Edit 7/20/17 - Unit is still working GREAT. I use it once a week, have had no problems. I will stress to you, buy the extended warranty. Getting an extended warranty on a pool cleaner is almost unheard of, and it's cheap, so buy it. But still this thing is running like a freaking champ! Fast forward to 2020- The unit still works great. My ONLY issue is the one design flaw with this thing and it is that it pops stupid wheelies every time it changes directions. This is definitely not a feature. When it's popping wheelies it's not cleaning. ... show more

Easy peasy set up just plug in and begin! Research your type of pool and size. YouTube helpful!
First time pool owner. Had same exact model here when I bought the hone. Learned suction wasn't working. Dis research. I learned cordless robotic vacuums just vacuum in a grid style Apparently my in ground kidney shaped pool, needed wall climber and non grid patterns. So this was same corded vacuum that I replaced old one with. Super easy plug in and set up. Highly recommend! ... show more

It works great but note that it doesn't climb walls
I had the impression from reading the description that it would still climb the pool walls but when I got it, the instructions specifically said it did not climb the walls as it was made for above ground pools. So a little bit of a bummer on that, but maybe that was my bad. Otherwise it works amazing, waaaay better than other robots I have used. This is the best one so far! Its also the most expensive one I have yet purchased. It has great suction and the brush really helps. It does act like it is going to climb the wall but then stops and goes back. Great cord design, it doesn't get in the way at all. It picks up dirt and debris really well, and you do need to make sure to clean it out after every use. It doesn't pick up the find dirt particles. Apparently you need a different filter for that. I found this out after getting it there is a pamphlet that talks about how they recommend purchasing the fine filter and using that for regular cleaning and the one that comes with it for initial cleaning to pick up larger debris. Another thing I was confused on was I thought this one could be controlled from an app but it does not. To confess I was reading looking at several models of these so I may have gotten confused as to what this one did and didn't do. Because all of this was not clear on the product description, at least not for me, I have knocked a star off from the overall rating. ... show more

Complete waste of money!!!
This is a piece of junk! It might pick up a few leaves or other debris but the mesh is so small and the surface area as well that it clogs up and won't pick up anything else. It does not map out the pool. It travels the same area over and over and doesn't even get that clean. I bought this at the end of the season in '23, because our beloved "Pool Rover" bit the dust, and only used it once to finish up what the Rover left. I didn't open the pool last year and only now that I am trying to use it regularly do I realize how bad this is. The return window has long been closed. I see it isn't even sold here anymore (I wonder why) but I know people can find these reviews in searches so here it is. Don't buy this! ... show more

Dolphin is worth every penny
Awesome! I have had two cordless cleaners and they last two seasons and they didn’t complete the job, had to be charged. The Dolphin is so easy to clean and use. My pool is spotless. Worth every penny!!!!!!!

This is a great product.
I have a 24' round above ground pool that I hand vacuumed for the last 20 years. I decided to treat myself to a robotic vacuum, even though I was apprehensive about the effectiveness of any unit. This Dolphin M600 is truly amazing. Powerful, and actually climbs and cleans the vertical sides of the pool. Cleaning cycle for my pool takes about 1.5 hours, and the robot did not miss a speck of dirt. Since there are no pool hoses, it is easy to set up and start and easy to put away. Filter basket easy to remove and clean with garden hose or in a utility sink with a hand sprayer. I originally thought it was a little pricey, but I am convinced it is absolutely worth every penny of the price. I am guessing late summer when the tree leaves start to fall, it is probably going to be a good idea to scoop up a lot of the leaves as it would likely fill or plug up rapidly. Other than that small issue, I am 100% happy with my purchase. ... show more
