5 out of 5 8 years going strong
Michelle Turner –
Our M5 is 8 years old and we have been very happy with it. We have learned if you watch it cleaning it’s frustrating as it doesn’t go where you expect or do what you think is an “orderly way” to clean a pool, it’s definatey random. If you leave it be and come back when it’s done the pool is always beautifully clean. We run it on the longest cycle as we are never in a hurry. It (usually) gets up onto our long wide swim out ledge and will (usually) go along the length of it. It will only climb 2 of our 4 stairs however so we always have to sweep the steps if there is leaf litter there. In 8 years the only issues we have had is the 18 metre power cord failing. Both times it has been the junction of the cord where it connects to the power unit. First time at around 3 or 4 years in, Maytronics fixed it at no charge. This time, it cost me $250 I hope it lasts a good few years for that price as the pool shop said they only offer 3 months warranty – that’s dissaointing to hear. I think the trolley is a bit flimsy for the money but it hasn’t broken yet so I suppose its done what it was designed to do. If it wasn’ t covered fromt he elements I am sure it would have broken by now. Its an expensive machine so we care for it – always wash out the baskets after each clean, never leave it in the pool, always wash the unit down with fresh water and take care not to wind the cable up too tight on the trolley. We also always cover it so it is safe from the elements. I got a wood smoker cover from Aldi and took off the chimney part (just sewed it closed then cut it off) and it fits the unit and the trolley perfectly. If and when this one fails we would get another one but would not bother with the M5 as the remote control is a waste of time we have used it only a few times – easier to just get out the scoop. Well done Maytronics we are happy customers and will be back one day. PS: try and invent a reticulated track system that climbs stairs 🙂

5 out of 5 I thought my pool was clean
Jim Wilson –
Ever since I started using the Dolphin M500 I am amazed at how much better it cleans than my old pressure side/booster pump cleaner. The pool looks perfectly clean but the M500 filters catch stuff that you can’t see with the naked eye. It is almost disgusting what it manages to find. And to think, I was swimming in that before I started using the M500. Filter cleaning is hassle free and this thing uses much less electricity than a booster pump. I will never go back to a pressure side cleaner again.

Melinda –
I have had my Dolphin 500 for over 3 years. It still performs and exceeds my expectations each season. Simple to operate and maintain. Drop her in, run cycle, rinse filters and Done! Carolina sunshine is strong and harsh so i shield the electronic control with patio umbrella while operating. Excellent investment and time saver.

Rhonda King –
This is the GREATEST invention for pool cleaning. I am handicapped and the Dolphin M500 helps me keep the pool clean for my grandchildren’s pleasure. Love having the remote to bring it closer to me when I need to take it out or it needs cleaned. Very easy to clean. Do wish it had an easier way to get it out of the water, since I can’t bend down to grab the handle. Definitely worth every penny it cost. Would highly recommend.

5 out of 5 M500 Just Awesome
Fred Wessels –
We have now used our M500 for 3yrs. We had another brand prior to the M500. The 500 just outperforms to a highest level. It has been trouble free other than a few of the rubber scrubbing cleats are falling off. Just replacing the filters this year. It has scratched off the color pattern of our liner in both deep end corners but not sure this is not a liner issue. Would buy a Maytronics device again.

Scott Braun –
I love the M500, had it about 2 years now, best money we spent on pool stuff hands down! Does a great job, does full coverage on our pool (excluding stairs and sun deck, but never figured it could do that) I would easily give it 5 stars other than the remote doesn’t really seem to change its cleaning parameters as it claims so I don’t use it.. instructions are not so good on remote either.
But all in all the Dolphin M500 is a great addition, If I had it to do over might have gotten the M400 instead.

RJR –
I am going into my third season with the M500. I does a great job of cleaning the pool including the walls. Filters are easy to clean and traps small debris. The extra set of mesh filters are great when pick up leaves etc. after opening the pool or before closing (especially when living in New England). Also, the new swivel cord does not tangle in the pool.

1 out of 5 Not happy
STEPHEN SHECORA –
I have had the Dolphin for a number of years now and just not happy with the performance of the unit. I have had to replace the computer once and the line once. I have a kidney shaped pool and I have never seen it clean the water line or steps. Unit never seems to stay in the shallow end, always in the deep end. It will climb about 3 feet up the wall, sit and spin the brushes turn around and down it goes. I have tried to adjust the arms a million times and nothing seems to work. I’m spending more time then ever manually vacuuming the pool and that’s not why I have a robot cleaner! Wondering if any recalls are out?

5 out of 5 My Dolphin
Joseph castellano –
Cleans great. Loads of features. Didn’t expect a problem within the first couple of months but did have a problem. The robot would move a few feet then shut down. After calling the local service provider and trying a few suggested fixes, I took it back. They tried a few tests and asked me to pick it up and see if it was fixed. No luck so I took it back. They then contacted Maytronics and it needed a new motor which was sent to the store where it was installed. It has been working fine for the last few months but I still am a bit anxious. We will see???

5 out of 5 Mayronics M500 is AMAZING!
Ted Kayne –
I must me truthful, I have been in the swimming pool business in Florida my entire life (30+ years) and have always favored suction type cleaners (ones with vac hoses). I’ve installed for customers and also personally tried almost every different type/brand automatic cleaner made over the years and all I have to say is that a Maytronics M500 is now whats in my pool doing the best job EVER! Mayronics Rocks! This M500 is unbelievable!!! PS: Its fun driving it around the pool with my iPhone too, you can’t do that with non-robotic cleaners!

This product exceeded my expectations. In the Fall, I put the bag in, and the leaves that fall to the bottom of the pool are picked up. It cleans the bottom, the sides and scrubs the water line. I no longer put a cover over my pool, as I do not need to worry about debris….The Dolphin does the clean-up work quickly and easily. I recommend this product to anyone who is shopping for a reliable, efficient and high performance pool cleaner.

5 out of 5 This robot is fantastic
Greg Stone –
Had my Dolphin in the pool within an hour of purchase. It replaced a high end pressure side cleaner from a major builder. I was shocked at how much better the Dolphin cleaned the pool and found watching it the best entertainment of the evening. Called the pool store and told them they should double the price. It is that good. Thanks for a great cleaner that exceeded my already high expectations.

5 out of 5 Excellent device
Ellis –
I bought last season and found that It fully replaced manually vacuuming the pool. It’s runs quietly and the remote comes in handy for spot cleaning.
I couldn’t find documentation regarding leaving the Dolphin in the pool for several days, even though there is a timer. Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I’m just worried about possible water damage.

5 out of 5 Great Vacuum
Howard –
I’ve had this for most of a year and am very satisfied. It does a great job of collecting all the debris, including the visible stuff, plus fine dirt that you can’t see looking at the pool. I leave the fine filter on all the time. I never use the vacuum hose anymore. Cleaning the filters is fairly easy and takes only a few minutes. I’m fairly small and the unit is heavy to lift In and out of the pool, but manageable. So far no problems and worth the cost.

5 out of 5 You get what you pay for.
Phil –
My pool is 20×40 liner that’s 9′ at the deep end. I started out with a Spirit Dolphin 13 years ago. I loved it but had to replace it around year 8. I went to a Hayward model. The Hayward is what my pool guy recommened, but I came to assume he got his for free from Hayward after using so much Hayward equipment on his customers’ pools. But the Hayward robot was was horrible; the roller washers kept coming off, and the roller treads and drive belts wore out after only 1 or 2 seasons, the suction was nowhere near comparible to the Dolphin and so it couldn’t climb the walls, and the instructions made it very clear that you shouldn’t leave it in water for more than a few cleaning cycles. The New Dolphin M500 has far better suction, climbs walls up to the surface, the rollers are more robust, and it can be left under water for days if not weeks with no worry of water leaks. The M500’s software is better at covering the entire area; the Hayward was always very spotty and seemed to stay in the deep end most of the time. The M500 costs more than the others, but it’s well worth the price if that’s what it takes to actually get the job done without requiring high maintenance and compromise. With pool equipment, you get what you pay for. The M500 is a class act.

This is by far and away the best pool cleaner I have ever owned. It cleans all the debris, leaves and dirt that can blow into a pool. Especially given the Santa Ana winds we can get here during our winters.

4 out of 5 M500
DavidC –
Picks up fine silt and works best with plastic mesh filters. They rip over time, so being gentle with them when removing / installing is important.
Suction is good and reliability is high it seems with this unit. I REALLY wish it would climb in and out of the pool by itself. That would be a fantastic addition to this cleaner. I’m sure most people probably leave it connected and in the pool all the time. Leaving cleaner on an automatic cleaning schedule would be a HUGE help and having a WiFi connected app to notify when it’s filters are full would be fantastic.
Cord gets a little wrapped up around itself, swivel on it helps immensely tho! Do I need to lubricate swivel over time?
Sugar maple seed pods (brown spiky balls) get caught in tracks and can jam mechanism and filter slits.

5 out of 5 Best darn pool cleaner on market
J k Foy –
This product is reliable, durable , and simply gets the job done . It cleans the walls perfectly and the bottom spotlessly. Easy to change/clean filters, only drawback is that it is slightly heavy when removing from pool, otherwise it lives up to its reputation as a real workhorse that keeps your pool pristine. I would certainly recommend this product as I have used it for three seasons now with zero problems.

5 out of 5 Dolphin M500 Best Decision to buy ever
Bill Boyd –
My wife persuaded me, following in-depth research, to purchase the Dolphin M500. Fascinating to watch it operate in the pool, the remote control was an option we are thankful we chose to include in the purchase.
Accolades to your Maytronics design/engineering team. The only added feature I wish the M500 had would be a flip down cover to shield the operating screen from the sun. It is recommended we protect that area which necessitates covering it with a lounge cushion or BBQ cover while the M500 is in operating cleaning our salt water pool. Great design … excellent choice. Would highly recommend it … money well spent!
Very Happy Customer – Bill (Kingston ON Canada)
