I’m looking at a robot cleaner. I can get a good deal on a Maytronics Dolphin Solo but I’m having trouble finding reviews on it. Does anyone have experience with it? Thanks in advance!

Can you post a picture of what you’re looking at or a link? It could be a rebranded E-series robot. I’ve never heard of the “Solo” before....maybe it’s a Star Wars themed robot in honor of the new Han Solo anthology that starts this May.
It was at my local pool store. I will take a picture if I am back. Structurally, it resembled the E series but the colors were different, white and light blue. The pool store said it was an entry level model but they heard it performed well. I came home and started looking for reviews and couldn’t find anything either.

I bet you a donut it’s an Echo or similar model. Single brush, limited programming options. Probably a short warranty, like a year.
If your pool is not too complicated or deep, it would probably be fine. Snap a picture next time you see it.

How much was this robot? I'd be a little leery of it only because no one had heard of this model before...and we do love our Maytronics Robots.
How many brushes does it have? Is the basket a top loading basket? Easy to clean out??
Have you looked at the more common Maytronics folks here have, like the Dolphin line? I love my Dolphin Discovery which is basically an S200 in different colors. And the latest ones have gone back to swivel cords, I believe? Worth a look.

I’ve seen the Echo in pool stores. They are sister models. It’s just a very basic cleaner with a single power on button remote, no programmability whatsoever. It has a single active scrubbing brush and no PowerThrust directional technology - it changes direction by climbing the wall and then coming back down. It has a top-loading basket like the S series but just coarse screen panels, no fine filters. If one has an uncomplicated pool with not a lot of debris, then it’s a good low-cost alternative to pump driven cleaners.
