    Help me get my husband a robot!

    You can easily get a dolphin for under a grand. I have a s300i. If u don’t need a stand and Bluetooth you can get the 200 and save a bunch. I personally like the tech for the s series with how it climbs walls bs the m series with floats and the dolphin line is slowly going in that direction. My...

    Dolphin M400 or S300i

    I have an s300i. I have raised drains. 90 percent of the time he gets himself out of trouble in his own. I really like the basket like others have said. Cleans up so easy after each use. Bluetooth. So hit and miss. I can’t stand waiting for it to find itself and log on I just hit the button...

    Do Robots have "smart" navigation - does it work - better than vac cleaner?

    On another note with thier new models. Did anyone notice the m series has moved to the s series for navigation tech using pushing and pulling water for climbing and sticking to the walls vs the floats? The rep said last year they were moving this way for all models. Guess he was right. Makes...

    Do Robots have "smart" navigation - does it work - better than vac cleaner?

    I will say mine does do an awesome job also. I usually have to run it for 2 cycles though to totally get clean and he does beach himself now and then.

    Another help me select a robot thread!

    I like my 300i. I wanted the caddy for storage especially over winter. If I didn’t want the caddy I would have just bought the 200. I will say it is very easy to clean after each use. It does a great job climbing my walls. I actually use a lot of the other programs thatcthe 300 has. I tend to...

    Dolphin Premier vs Maytronic M500 - whats the diff?

    just to add to this. i spoke with a local rep the other day. no more physical remotes for 2018. app only. the 500 vs 400 is like what has been said here. 500 you can do everything rom remote. with the 400 only movement of the bot. the premiere does not have that new swivel remember. jim

    My dolphin research. Help me out.

    can you speak of the 2018 s series model differences being the website actually contradicts itself on every page. the 300 vs 300i. is the app only for movement on the 300 vs the 300i being programming and control? what about cleaning cycles and programs? so is the 300 a m400 and the 300i is...

    Dolphin Premier vs Dolphin Nautilus Plus

    I thought all those designs had 3 brushes. I thought that model was just a M400 pretty much so 3 brushes. I didn’t know. Why does dolphin make these diff named models. And make the littlest changes in them. It makes no sense. 1 line to all deals. Why same pieces with diff lines to diff...

    Dolphin Premier vs Dolphin Nautilus Plus

    why in a hardbeat? It seems like ur model with 3 brushes and how it collects waste is more functional than the 2 brush design of the s line active line. Ya bigger basket for collecting but less brush for cleaning. Also I think the pressure movement to climb looks awesome but don’t know how it...

    Dolphin Premier vs Dolphin Nautilus Plus

    So when u say premium which one in the line? The m series build or a s series (active) build. Cause dolphin labels premium for the top of the line for each line. M500 premium. S300 premium. Its so confusing.

    My dolphin research. Help me out.

    Thanks. the only single reason I want the remote for is to get the bot out of the pool. I really don’t wNt my wife pulling it across the floor by the cord if out of reach. To get it close to her for getting it out. also I’m looking at a 200 dollR diff between the 2 models and didn’t know if...

    My dolphin research. Help me out.

    You said the M400 only had a directional remote? What do u mean. I thought it had no remote. Just the app? regardng filtration. Both the same right? regarding cleaning programs. Does it really matter? I can care less about the delay starts. I don’t care about the longer run cycle. I...

    Dolphin Premier vs Dolphin Nautilus Plus

    If u want the swivel there is a M400 there. It’s a 17 model with Bluetooth. No remote. Just app control. I think that one referred is not a bad deal
