Dolphin Premier Robotic Pool Cleaner (2025 Model) with Multimedia, Oversized Leaf Bag, Standard & Ultrafine Filters, Weekly Timer, Waterline Cleaning & More — for In-ground Swimming Pools up to 50ft

We got this about 6 months ago when our pool guy quit and when January came, the ashes from the Altadena fires completely destroyed the water. It was so thick, that we couldn't even see the bottom and we thought for sure we would have to drain the pool. Along with the ash from the fires, debris from the wind, our pool equipment also died and we had to wait months to get a replacement part. So we made a plan to run the dolphin every day and to clean the filter as often as possible. First we used the cloth bag filter which would fill up really quick from soot and leaves. We would toss the debris and hose down the cloth bag and repeat. As weeks went on, we started to see improvement. We also went to leslie's pool to get the water tested and pick up the right solutions and managed to get the pool back on track. Once the soot was out, we switched back to the hard plastic filters. Check out the photos of the pool right at the start of the fires and after, you can see the bottom again. Even my former pool guy was impressed that we managed to save the water. Sometimes, the little rubber tracks misalign and you'll just have to snap that back in. Filter was easy enough to clean, you just have to do it. This little guy is a pool saver! Hero status

Ordered 3/31, received the very next day around lunch. Just in time for all the pollen to begin falling from the Live Oaks that cover the property!We have had clarity issues ongoing and have been leaning on whether or not to upgrade the pump filter from glass beads to a finer media.We had to FLOC our pool and ever since that time, our clarity has been off. The pool would be clear until the bottom of the pool is disturbed and it would get cloudy.This Dolphin has immediately begun to pull not only stray leaves but all of those fine particles!Says it has a 3 year warranty so we’ll see what the longevity is but out the gate, I’m impressed!You can clearly see in the photos the path it’s made on the first few passes. Super happy right now.*********Update after a few days************So the oversized leaf bag is the champ! It grabs EVERYTHING off the floor - sand, particulates, etcWith that said, we did remove as much leaves and debris as possible with the net before running the machine. It’s great but don’t overload it.The ONLY negative I see so far is the wall climbing capability. We also own the Triton PS Plus, and that one will try to climb out of the pool. Only reason i bought the Premier is because some sensor went out and we didn’t have time to troubleshoot, get to a repair shop, etc. Pollen was literally falling from the trees!The Premier isn’t quite as strong but between the two of these, we should be very good. The leaves and sand are more important anyway because I can scrub the side of the pool with the brush.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I read the reviews beforehand…noted a lot of positive and a lot of negative. Optimistically hoped my experience would be on the positive side. It wasn’t. Unit has been in use two days. Refuses to clean all areas (it seems to detest the shallow end and walls and treats these as no go areas). Cleaning filter is way harder than it needs to be. The “ large leaf bag”, is big, but it is crammed into such a small cavity under the robot it maxes out at probably less than 2 cups of leaves volume-wise….impossible for that bag to expand as they show in the picture. And yes, the cable kinks. I’ve reached out to customer support, but barring some miracle this robot is going back.

Let me tell you, this Dolphin Premier Robotic Pool Cleaner is the best thing to happen to our pool since chlorine. I was bracing myself for hours of setup, reading a manual thicker than a phone book, and listening to my husband invent new curse words—but nope. Plug it in, drop it in the pool, and BOOM—sparkling clean water without the drama.It’s so user-friendly that even my husband (bless his heart) figured it out on the first try. No YouTube tutorials, no frantic Googling, no calls to tech support. I’m still in shock.This little robot zooms around like it owns the place, climbs walls like Spider-Man, and somehow manages to clean better than we ever could manually. I half expected it to start folding laundry too.If you're tired of scrubbing and skimming—and want to feel like a pool-owning genius—get the Dolphin. Bonus: you’ll finally see your spouse win a battle with technology.

The first pool opening of the year usually consists of me spending the better part of an hour fishing out all of the fall and winter debris that has fallen into the pool around the cover (how that happens, I have no idea!). So when I read a review from a Dolphin product dealer, raving about the large capacity leaf bag on this model, I knew I had to give it a try.And boy am I glad I did! The initial clean was amazing but the bag did get full after vacuuming up about 90% of the leaf litter on the bottom of the pool. So I cleaned out the bag and ran it again. The pool was 100% clean from the floor, all the way up to the water line!The large capacity bag is made of a thick nylon material. So after the second pool sweep, I removed the bag, shook out the debris, and then ran it through a gentle cycle wash in my washing machine minus any fabric softener to maintain its absorbency. Worked like a charm!Couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Worth every penny!
