The robotic pool cleaner weighs about 13.8 pounds, it's amazingly easy to use, very reliable, and 8 times more efficient than suction and pressure cleaners.

Compared to other above-ground pool robots in the market, the Dolphin E10 robotic pool cleaners can be considered as one of the best, and yet it's very affordable, which is a plus.

And even more fun is enjoying the pool with friends and family until it gets messy with leaves and debris. And getting all of that dirt out will naturally require hours of cleaning which is often when the fun stops. That's why you need a robotic pool cleaner. Thanks to the technological advancements in the pool industry, owning a pool no longer involves sweaty afternoons of scrubbing and manual cleaning, and you can now spend less time cleaning and more relaxing by the pool. How It Works The Dolphin E10 is a powerful above ground pool cleaner, designed to effortlessly remove both large and obvious debris as well as the not-so-obvious ones like algae, sand, and mud. Unlike many other robotic pool cleaners, the Dolphin E10 does not require any form of setting up, which makes it ideal for a first-time robot user. It has only a single button which you'll push to get it running, and another push will shut it off. Once the robot is submerged, the CleverClean sensors and navigation system will map the pool to determine its layout and locate the dirty spots. With its scanning technology, the Dolphin E10 smartly navigates your pool and follows a cleaning path that focuses on the dirtiest areas, clearing all the dirt and bacteria in its path. Once your robot is on the move, the super-fast brush cleans all forms of dirt from your pool floor including sand, mud, and algae, depositing it into the filter basket. Important note: Although the Dolphin E10 is designed to scrub and dislodge all kind of dirt - very fine dirt included - it comes with a filter that is built to capture only regular debris but not fine sand, this situation can be remedied if you purchase the Dolphin ultra-fine filter basket. Ease Of Use The Dolphin E10 Robotic Pool Cleaner is a straightforward gadget to use even for a first time bot user. It has just one button for on/off, and it requires no setup. To get started simply unpack, connect the power source to an outlet, the power supply to the Dolphin, switch it on and drop in your pool. Emptying the top access filter does not require flipping the robot. By merely pushing the release tab, the ultra-fine filter opens so you can empty its, and it uses cartridges which is a lot better than bags. And you can spray the ultra-fine filter with a garden hose to remove the trapped debris. The E10 also has a handle for convenient lifting and a long cable, you can pull it off the pool using this cable - that is before you get to the handle. As you pull it out of the water, it quickly dumps all debris-free water making it as light as possible so that you can easily lift it. Performance in above-ground pools With a 24V motor driving its strong rubber tracks and an actively fast spinning scrubbing brush to dislodge any form of dirt, coupled with a top access filter which scoops up and locks in the dirt, you really can't say the results are disappointing. For optimal cleaning, the E10 robotic pool cleaner first randomly moves around your pool to master the general layout and borders of the pool. With its scanning software, it stores this information in its internal memory, once this is done the Dolphin E10 proceeds (using its CleverClean Scanning software) to determine the best cleaning pattern for your pool and it does this pretty fast. A cleaning cycle lasts for about 1.5 hours. With soft rubber tracks and unique grip patterns, the Dolphin E10 can effortlessly navigate over any kind of pool surface, and its mobility systems are superior to some other pool bots in its class as it can rotate 360° on the spot. This pool bot has a 40 ft. Long cable but it doesn't get tangled up in it because it's a swivel cable, made for your convenience to offer a hassle-free experience (and believe me, it makes a difference). Reliability With the Dolphin E10 robotic pool cleaner, you won't have to worry. It's built from safe electrical components and highly durable materials, which means if looked after properly, these pool cleaners are bound to last for a long time. Plus it's effortless to handle because it has a very lightweight. This confidence is backed by the manufacturer's two-year warranty included as standard. Ongoing maintenance and costs It is highly recommended to empty and clean the filter basket after each use and give the machine visual inspections for anything obvious issues after each use. Since the Dolphin E10 is built with highly durable materials and a 2-year warranty, it's guaranteed to work well under normal conditions. And it really doesn't require any further special form of maintenance. Extra purchases required Aside from the Dolphin ultra-fine filter basket which you can purchase for trapping fine dirt (and this is optional), the Dolphin E10 is a full package and requires no additional gadget to work (although you may need to buy replacement filters in the future). You could invest in a transport caddy, although you don't have to if you have a safe place to put it.

Final thoughts on the Dolphin E10 If you have an above-ground swimming pool, I would happily recommend that you buy a Dolphin E10 to keep it clean.

The main drawback is that it doesn't clean walls, but not many above ground pool cleaners, especially at this price point will.
