Our team choose to do a Dolphin E10 review of the popular robotic pool cleaner by Maytronics<\/a> because hiring a pool cleaning company can be a pain! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want them to do a good scrub before a fun and busy pool party, then you have to hope they have no other clients waiting on them that evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also have to keep your fingers crossed to see if they do a good enough job. You might as well do it yourself right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending 45 minutes to an hour cleaning is rough work! That’s why you pay the pool cleaner so much! You don\u2019t want to waste your pumped up energy before your party on cleaning your pool. By the time your friends arrive, you will be tuckered out and not in the mood for a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your last option is to hire a robot. No, I\u2019m not speaking from the year 3,000! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy robotic pool cleaners, and the Dolphin E10 by Maytronics was designed for smaller budgets, so you don\u2019t have to be a movie star to afford it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the robot being so cheap, can you be sure that it does a good enough job? That’s what you\u2019re here to find out! We have tested the Dolphin E10 to see if this robotic above ground pool cleaner is worth the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes A Robot Pool Cleaner Good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are 5 factors that you need to be aware of when you are looking at a robotic pool cleaner. Not every machine will be great at all 5 features, and some don\u2019t have these features at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to make you sure that you get a full review on the Dolphin E10, to do that you need to know what a robot pool cleaner should be able to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Robot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve got these ideas firmly in your head, we can compare them to the Dolphin E10 and decide if the low price is worth the comparison in features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Suction Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The suction power will tell you how much your robotic pool cleaner can pull from the water. Can it handle little rocks and fine sand, or is it stuck picking up leaves? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high powered suction is around 70 GMP. GMP stands for gallons per minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some companies like to make their mechanics seem better than their competitors by swapping from minutes to hours, thereby creating a larger number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So to make the change easy for you, 70 GMP is 4,200 GPH (gallons per hour).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ease Of Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ease of movement can mean two things. How easy is it for us to move the robot, and how easy is it for the robot to move by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you would want a lightweight cleaner so that you can pick it up with no issues, however, if the robot is heavy, it should have wheels for us to push, making the process easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the robot\u2019s ease of movement, we don\u2019t want it to get stuck on any twigs or material as it moves through the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We especially don\u2019t want it to rip any material pools it is cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best type of movement comes from tracks instead of wheels, as tracks will help the machine get over a lump in the pool, preventing it from getting stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Filter Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this industry, debris and dirt are often measured in microns which is short for micrometers (one-millionth of a meter). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows manufacturers to be super precise about their machines capabilities while also attempting to sway their target audience with a giant number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, you don\u2019t want a high number when it comes to the filter size in this regard, as the lower the micron value is, the better the robot is at picking up small items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any cleaner should be able to clean up leaves or pebbles, but if you want your cleaner to pick up sand, then you want to look for a low micron value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some manufacturers won\u2019t tell you their micron value to avoid jargon, so instead, they will say that the robot has a mesh or a fine filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, without the micron value, you won\u2019t know if the machine can pick up small debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ease of Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being easy to use is a simple request that all of us have, no matter the technology you are searching for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to robotic pool cleaners, the instructions should be easy to follow, picking up the robot shouldn\u2019t be difficult, and any extra features to make using the product even easier will be appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Power Washing Jets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some swimming pool cleaners<\/a> that are robotic will use power washing jets, and others will use brushes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, the best cleaner will use both. If there are sand or small dirt particles in the pool, then a power washing jet will be more likely to move the dirt out of any nooks and crannies so the suction power can pick it up.
