Dolphin Nautilus Pool-Up Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner up to 26 FT - Wall Climbing with Scrubber Brush

First time leaving a review. Purchased a house with a pool. First time pool owner, my pool has pebbled walls/floor so not every pool vacuum can climb the walls of the pool. So far, its been 3 weeks and this pool cleaner does a really good job. My pool is noticeably brighter and can go up most of the walls. I gave 4 stars just because you can always improve an item but would def recommend this pool vacuum.

Great pool vacuum to clean your pool! 5 starts all over! Thank you

Been your for 5 months and it works great!

I love this pool vacuum. I started out with a cheaper ($140ish) battery powered pool vacuum in another brand and it didn’t even last three days. After a lot of research I finally decided to buy a corded vacuum and am so happy I chose this one. I’ve kept my vacuum in the pool most of the season and there are a lot of trees around our pool so I turn the vacuum on 2 or 3 times per day on some days. It gets everything in one cycle and even climbs the walls of our 24 ft above ground pool. The cord floats and never gets in the way of the vacuum. I only have to empty the vacuum/ clean the filter out every 2 weeks or so. It holds a lot and the filter bag filters very fine particles. The entire inside of the bag could be full of leaves and gross debris, and the outside still looks perfectly clean. I’m amazed by that! When it’s time to clean the filter bag out I usually empty as much of the debris as possible, spray it down with a water hose, and run it through the washing machine by itself. It’s very easy to reinstall the filter bag afterward.

I like that this is a powered cleaner without a battery. Cordless are so unreliable. It does clean and will climb walls. However, for my above ground pool it constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY will get stuck on the center drains. My drains protrude an inch or so...all standard. But the cleaner will climb over it and the flat bottom of the cleaner sits on top of the drain. The tracks are then stranded and cannot move. I do like this product but for the cost I have to send back. I have to find something that does not get hung up on the center drain. Also, if you have the beveled or whatever its called above ground liner, where there is a slight incline to the wall under the liner, this cleaner is hit or miss if it will climb the wall or just stop and go the other direction. I also have a pool ladder where I noticed the robot climbed the first step and then just got hung up. It just stayed in that spot. Over all, this really is a good cleaner. But for my specific above ground pool, it just gets stuck too many times for the price. I would recommend this to others without center drains and flat liners.

Unlike my model s50 this controller did not have a mounting bracket and no way to mount as the previous controller.Filter is a pain to remove and clean and reinstall. Only way to address questions was through chat and disappointing. Light on switch remains on after the cleaning, so you will have to constantly monitor till it stops and cleaning cycle has completed. Poor instructions for this unit.Good but could be better.

We have a “cheap” above ground pool. Anyone who has installed the cheaper versions understands we cannot have a big, curved wall of sand around the edge like the more expensive pools can have. Having said that this machine got stuck constantly trying to climb the walls. Also, after shocking the pool all the algae on the bottom just goes straight through their filter and turns the water nasty. It was good for pine needles, leaves, etc but its claim to leave your pool sparkling blue (IMO) was a grossly overzealous goal that I seriously doubt this type of product is now or will be in the near future capable of. Perhaps if all you need is cleaning small items off the bottom of your more expensive pool this would be a good choice. For us and other “value conscious” shoppers (cheap lol) I’d look elsewhere if I were you. Item returned.

When everything is perfect, this works fairly well. Our experience shows four issues. Least important is the quirky start button. If it is on from the last cleaning, you cannot turn it off and on to restart. You must turn it off and wait a little while before restarting or it will appear on but never move. Second is the scrub pattern revealed by algae on wall shows it cleans streaks, not surfaces. You will still have to scrub your own walls if you let your get out of balance. Third, you have to check it occasionally to make sure it doesn't get hung up on steps in the shallow end. It has no issue with straight steps, but curving steps in a curved corner can hang it up until you move it. It doesn't happen every time thank goodness. Fourth, and most important, this hose is so kinky, it should be X rated. They recommend taking it out of the pool every day and I see why. Every time it runs it goes round and round in the same direction until the hose is totally kinked up. It takes two people stretching it out and manhandling the unit round and round and round to get it back to normal. I cannot recommend this unit for curved wall pools like our kidney shape. I assume without evidence this would not be an issue in a rectangle, but don't rely on that guess. Build quality is OK, but without some sort of program correction to avoid single direction twisting, this is a do not buy product.

Excellent

very easy to assemble and get started. easy to clean quite heavy to lift from the water to the pool side but I found that using a hook made that easy Altogether, value for money and very easy to operate

Excelente opcion

Me ha funcionado muy bien este robot y me a ayudado a mantener limpia la alberca. El único pero es que no puede recoger partículas pequeñas y cuando hay polvo en la alberca se ve medio turbia el agua. Sin embargo, por ese precio me parece muy bien. Lo pongo a trabajar a diario y no me ha quedado mal en los 4 meses que lo tengo.
