Dolphin M5 vs Dolphin Oasis Z5
- Thread starter kwing01
- Start date
Mine will be here by Friday. I am using my hobbled old Dolphin for now, but I am excited to see how much better the new one works!
I received my Z5 yesterday. There were no instructions about the power supply. Is there only one button...the ON button? Are there options for run times? The instructions that came with it are very lacking.
The M5 is the one with those options. The Z5 only has a power button.
I'm loving my Z5.

I am in the process of acquiring a new cleaner and am glad to have looked here. Currently I have a Kreepy Krauly that is done with. Besides leaving lots behind, it is not able to get unstuck and yesterday as I pulled it out of the pool, I found that the hose connection is broken. So, my pool is large (20 x 44), in ground, vinyl, and a lazy "L" shape. Will this still be handled well by the robot? Any thoughts or suggestions? Best place to buy? Any concerns?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for everyone reviewing the Oasis Z5... I ordered mine a couple days ago, it will be here next Tuesday...
Just an FYI.. if you get it from epicpoolsupply.com it is currently $1199 and if you use coupon code "dolphin100" it will take another $100 off. I paid $1099 for it, didn't think that was too bad.

Dolphin Supreme M5
Hi Everyone!
New to TFP and am enjoying reading good information on here!
I've set my sights on buying a Supreme M5 and am struggling to find a supplier or a price for the unit!
Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!

I don't think you will, I tried too with no luck around my area.

I couldn't find a supplier for the M5 around me either. And Dallas/Fort Worth isn't a small town. 
Regarding the question about L shaped pools, I think the Z5 is a good solution. It is a "zero turn" robot. It turns on a dime and heads another direction, rather than lazily wandering around. I think it would work for your pool.

If it helps... My Z5 arrived yesterday. My pool had a little bit of dirt in the deep end but overall really clean. I could not believe how much the robot is picking up.. My pool looks GREAT! It doesn't seem to be missing anything! Glad I bought it. It is also super easy to clean the filters with it being top loaded.
The Z5 and M5 appear to be the same robot, the only reason you would buy an M5 is if you wanted to spend extra money. IMHO, the extra features aren't really worth the price on the M5.

For me the timer/auto run feature would be worth the expense since I travel a lot. I would like it to run every day so I don't come home to a giant mess.
Everyones experience is different, but personally I wouldn't leave it to run when I'm not around. all it takes is one idiot to pull it out of the water when its running and bye bye pool cleaner, not to mention, they can get stuck, break etc
Nobody is coming in my backyard without me here, besides if they do I'll have them on one of the 8 security cameras around the premises, one of them is right behind the diving board. Oh, you didn't mean steal it, you mean just take it out while it's running... nobody is in my backyard without me here... My border collies don't like strangers. I don't have kids (she's 16). And I don't know anyone that would pull it out while it's running. They leave my stuff alone.
This is my second robot, 3 years on the first one, never had a situation where it got stuck or broke in the pool. Not saying it can't happen, but so far so good.
I shrunk this down since we didn't really need details.
There's the robot in the pool, too bad I didn't post a video, it's running right now.
Excuse the ladder and fan and all the other mess, we were hanging some shade sails and didn't put things away yet. The pool was too inviting once we were finished.

How does taking it out while running damage the unit? I'm surprised there aren't major warnings in the manual about this.
I believe there are warnings in the manual, at least their are with other cleaners. The motors burn up without water.
Ordered the Dolphin Z5 from Epic Pool Supply for $1049. First time pool owner. Pool not finished yet, but didn't want to miss chance to get one of these at an end of season discount. Since spring 2017 will be our first swim season.
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Dolphin Z5 when on the caddy? Mine is still boxed up for winter. Would like to buy a Suncast storage container for it outside during spring-summer to keep out of direct sun and weather. Thanks.
The Oasis Z5 on the caddy is about 40" high by 18" wide and 26" deep.

Oh, and FYI it looks like the Oasis has a $50 rebate on it currently if someone is still shopping for one.

Is the Z5 just one power button ON and will run for 3 hrs and auto power itself off? No other options?
