New Purchase - Dolphin Sigma!!!!

[greenhorn31]

I've not been this impressed with something in a long time, Dolphin really hit a home run with this one!

Climbing the wall and scrubbing the water line!

The ease of cleaning is insane!!

I'm curious, what made you choose the Sigma over the other Dolphin models?

Justin,
1. The power of the motors.
2. The ability to climb the walls.
3. The ability to set the schedule without an app.
4. How easy it is to clean.

The Dolphin series have 2-4, I am not sure about the power of the motors, is there a difference?

 

[greenhorn31]

I’m not sure about the previous models by this one has (3) 3,000 RPM DC motors capable of pushing 500 gallons of water per hour. The built-in gyroscope makes it the best wall climbing cleaner on the market. Read the facts here Dolphin Sigma Robotic Pool Cleaner by Maytronics

Thanks for the info.

I will do a little more research. It seems that the Sigma is a residential version of the Dolphin C3 which is actually sold as a commercial unit, so I don't doubt you on the power.

I was just wondering if you had particular reasons for choosing it over some of the other Dolphin models. The Sigma is not nearly as popular (not saying it's a bad unit). I just have not heard much about it so was curious to hear your thoughts on it or why you chose it over some of the others.

I'm liking that cartridge filter and the three year warranty. How long did it take to clean your pool?

I am a bit confused. The first website listed above does not go to the Maytronics website. On the Maytronics website, they show the Sigma, but all of the features (multiple motors, gyroscopic control etc) are not listed. Is the Maytronics website out of date or is some third party modifying an existing unit?

My question is if it can be setup with dual filtration like the S-series bots? That's a huge feature for me in practice.

Interesting line for them. Quad brushes like the upcoming Maytronics iO3, but a dual-basket setup like the older style robots.

But certainly on point with their M.O. of blanketing the market with a ton of different options.

 

[Katodude]

It looks like it has the same cartridges as the current M series. No dual filtration.

The Dolphin Sigma has a (presumably solid-state) gyroscope to enable improved navigation. The Dolphin C3, which is very similar to the Sigma, apparently does not. Does anyone have first-hand experience on whether the gyro-enabled navigation in the Sigma is better than the C3 at mapping? One advantage of the C3 is the ability to convert it to a C4 (adding a 3rd brush).

. I'm looking at them now Dolphin seems to be the #1 choice. It gets a bit confusing on what model Some other members suggested Marina Pool Spa & Patio in Co. They have a great video on choosing one and comparison sheets. I sent them an email on pricing lot people you can't beat their prices. This is there home page worth looking at Home - Marina Pool Spa & Patio

What shape is your pool? Is there a walking ledge? Seating areas? Steps? How far along the wall does it scrub before it backs down? What happens when it goes over a jet?
