Curious to see if there are any solid robots that have been working well for more than 5-10 years? Just spoke to an individual that says that his old dolphin diagnostics robot was much better than a polaris that he bought recently..
Old But Legendary Robots?
- Thread starter Neto
- Start date
Have a few pools using the AQUABOT CLASSIC, a stellar unit but no brains. Does good work and has no rhyme or reason for its cleaning pattern.
The old Tiger Sparks are still going, reinventing the wheel most times means cheap parts sadly.

Neto,
I bought two used Dolphin Diagnostics about 8 or 9 years ago.. I used them in rent house pools and they were just retired the beginning of this year.. I did have to replace the tracks and bearings, but all and all, they worked well for over 10 years. I also had a Dolphin Premier at my home pool that I used for about 5 years before moving it to a rent house and it still works just fine.
The old Diagnostics have been replaced with the newer S200, which is a much better machine. No problems so far, but they have only been running about 8 months..
Thanks,
Jim R.

Interesting, I read on an article yesterday that the new tigersharks dont really introduce any new features, only cosmetics vs the 1st gen. Makes you think why such big company didnt make a change? maybe what they have works well? I do like the availability of the parts for the tigersharks too.
I have a Dolphin Diagnostic that's about 15+ years old. Still vacuums but the power supplies kept burning out (I'm on #3) and the canvas collection bag was a massive Pain to clean.
