  • Well worth the money
We finally broke down and retired our 15 year old Jandy Ray Vac. The Dolphin is a major step up to the old Ray Vac and it works incredibly quick. First of all the unit is extremely well made. The seller, In The Swim, is a major retailer who does stand behind these devices should there be any repair/warranty work required. The robot literally works 5 minutes out of the box. Open, unpack, connect the power supply to the robot cord and drop into the pool. I had issues getting my wifi feature to work but no worries, the unit will run for 2 hours by default without the app. I brought the power supply into my house where it linked up immediately. Now everything is configured on the app. The cleaning is very very good. The old Ray Vac could never compare and only vacuuming the pool was comparable. There are two sets of filters included and the removal and cleaning of the dirt filters is very simple and gets all the debris removed so the robot is nice and clean. I am very happy with this purchase. Update 8/25/20 This is by far the best pool purchase I have made since building our unground pool 15 years ago. The Dolphin comes up to the water line and does a great job of keeping the tile clean. the floor is a simple task and we have trees nearby that litter the pool any time a bit of wind comes along. I just drop the Dolphin in and that's all I do. I have had more time to focus on the water chemistry as a result. The only limitation is around steps and seats. The robot cannot get into each step and get all the debris. I will just brush those area and the Dolphin can easily get it. Not a big issue since I am skimming the pool at the same time. The power supply has wifi which I thought was a stupid addition but I gave it a try. I can see the condition of the pool and add an extra 1 or 2 hours from my house without having to go out and rest the robot. That sounds like a silly extra for really lazy people but it does save time when you walk out from work (Covid work from home) and get back on a conf call and not stopping to play with the pool. Still very happy with the Dolphin robot. ... show more

  • Highly Recommend
I’ve waited nearly 6 months to write this review. I have used this robot once a week, every week and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I live in south Florida where pool cleaning never stops for the “winter.” This robot climbs the walls and leaves the pool spotless in 2 hours. I have a set of 3 stairs that it doesn’t always get to the top step on, which I understand, I couldn’t imagine a robot realistically navigating it... but for the rest of my 15,000 gallon pool it rocks! All I do is do a quick brush on the top step, one sweep with the brush on the top tile line (just because I’m OCD), throw the robot in and come back 2 hours later. SPOTLESS. Now let’s hope it lasts! (Fingers crossed) ... show more

  • Not built to last
I have owned this product for about 2 years now and for the price should have lasted a lot longer. The first year and half no issues and worked perfectly. The device itself was great until it wasn't. Now it turns itself on whenever it feels like even with a set schedule. The Bluetooth option was never really that great but completely stopped working. Connecting it to the internet is a huge pain and the cable is constantly tangled. I would definitely recommend checking out a different dolphin model or pool cleaner. ... show more

  • Dolphin Proteus DX5i is as good as they claim!
First off, I have major kudos to send to Amazon and In The Swim. Ordered online and received the package in less than 24 hours. Unbelievable! Second, DX5i works great. You do need to pair it with your home WiFi, so the power unit needs to be within that footprint, which for some people may be impossible. But after downloading the Dolphin App, snapping a picture of the QR code, and pairing everything, using your cell phone to operate the cleaner is easy. For some reason I had to "re-pair" everything (QR code, WiFi) after a few days of use; hopefully just a 1-time glitch. Cleaning performance and filter cleaning are top-notch for my vinyl liner pool. Definitely recommended. ... show more

  • Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner
We bought the Kreepy Krauly for our new inground fiberglass pool. It was recommended by our pool installer. It worked but slower and inefficiently than expected. We did a lot of research on the robotic cleaners. We found the Dolphin to have the best reviews and Amazon had the best price. Very much worse the cost. Easy to use and cleans the pool to a shine. Love the blue tooth option so you can guide the Dolphin to sweep only what you need when in a time crunch. Love the way the Dolphin comes up the sides and scrubs the water line. Comes with two sets of filters. A fine and a larger filter. Very impressed and highly recommend. ... show more

  • Works well but needs longer cycles to clean large pools
Works well but needs a longer cycle. The 1 and 2 hour cycles are not long enough to fully clean my 40K gallon pool. It’s fine though. I just leave it in and run it every day and it keeps it well cleaned that way.

  • Works perfectly and super easy to operate
Set-up was simple. Took a couple of tries to pair with the iOS app. Once paired, controlling the robot from my iPhone is easy and quick. Cleans the pool as advertised. This includes the bottom, sides, and water-line. I am in the desert so sand is a constant problem in the pool. The Dolphin takes care of it every time. Although this model is expensive, it is recommended highly. ... show more
