Dolphin Proteus DX3 Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner Wall Climbing Capability Powerful Active Scrubbing Brush Ideal for All Pool Types up to 33 FT in Length 99996114-LES

This is the second Dolphin I have purchased. I use it two to three times daily. I purchased a Aiper brand before and was completely unhappy with its performance and I wasted a lot of money. I will always stick with Dolphin moving forward.

Works great cleaning the bottom, walls and waterline of our pool. Very easy to clean out the filter basket. This is my second. First one lasted six seasons before the cord got “tangle memory”. Because we left it in the shed over the winter. Highly recommend.

Easy to set up. Great cleaning. Love it

Much better than my previous Dolphin.

This Dolphin Proteus DX3 robot replaces my 4-year-old Polaris TR36P; I hated cleaning the cloth zipper bag; also, I didn't always have the strength to pull the hose from the pool wall and reattach it when done swimming. The Proteus DX3 runs all over my small 10x30 foot pool and picks up all the icky tiny gravel that somehow gets in from the asphalt composition roof of my house (this is with the basket that came with the robot – I did not order the extra fine filters). The robot only weighs about 12 or 13 pounds, so getting it out of the pool is easy and cleaning the basket is a breeze. I have never seen the DX3 crawl up the 2 steps to get to the tanning shelf, but it does crawl up the wall next to the steps to the tanning shelf and vacuums the floor of the shelf. I can easily leave the DX3 at the corner of the pool with the little blue hose unobtrusively slithering down the corner wall while I swim. Negatives: The only thing I don't like about the robot is that I can't set it to do more than once a day; I have to turn it off and turn it back on for any subsequent pass on any one day; I don't recall any of the other robots that I considered sweeping more than once a day either. Also, after 2 weeks in close to 100-degree California heat, the small blue hose feels like it won't last a season without somehow disintegrating; it has that somewhat slimy and roughened feel to it already. I have to keep moving the controller to keep it out of the sun (per the instructions) so I need to find some kind of shed or container to permanently keep it out of the weather.

This robot is so easy to use. It does a great job, but it actually could get the deep end a little better. Very portable and much more user friendly than my old one. I love the fact you don't have to hook up with a pool pump system, it operates independently. You do need to have an electric outlet close by to operate. It would be nice for it to come with a hook to retrieve from pool. I would definitely recommend!!

You could go a lot better for another 400 bucks

Don't connect via bluetooth.

bought it, the app gives me an error message. Can't find the cleaner. 800 customer service takes forever to pick up ( I/m still on hold for a representee)

After such costly robot, can not believe that it Tangles wires heavily and every day have to untangle. Does not have basic time to start and stop at specific time or days. Manually have to push to start !! Did not work on my pool steps. It does not cover all area somehow and noticed that it repeats same areas cleaned vs new area to be efficient.
