2 out of 5 Dolphin S300
Robert Charbonneau –
Not very happy with this machine. I’m on my second controller and third motor. The original motor seemed to be the quickest till it died. This latest motor is painfully slow going forward and fast in reverse. It takes about 3 hours to clean our 18′ x36′ rectangular pool and there will still be stuff on the bottom.
The clean out is nice and so far cord tangling has not been a problem.
The worst part has been dealing with service and getting through to the right people… very confusing.
Interesting enough everytime we get a new motor all the cleaning functions work (extended clean cycles etc…) and then after the first use it goes back to the 1 hour or 2 hour limit. If the unit actually cleaned the pool in 1 hour this would be fine but when you have to restart it every hour for 3 hours to get the pool relatively clean it’s a pain. It would be nice if the same software was standard on all the machines.
Not that the warranty is almost over I am not looking forward to the future of this unit.

Much like anything else in this world, shelf life is about 2 years before breaking down. Sad that this item is about $1,000 but doesn’t come with an extended warranty.

4 out of 5 Cleans great. Not reliable. Keeps malfunctioning.
Michael Deitch –
Dolphin S300 robot is back at pool store for the second time in 6 months. Repairs are covered by warranty thankfully. Pool store (Tucson Pool and Spa) very kind to provide a loaner unit while waiting for parts, again, from Atlanta. Tucson Pool and Spa is the best pool company in Arizona. Hope to get my unit back this week.

4 out of 5 Satisfied overall
Joshua –
Pool robot cleans the pool pretty well, although definitely only gets the waterline in a few spots. The cord failed for me after 6 months but they replaced it under warranty. The remote control app doesn’t work at all and is completely useless. But overall is really does clean the pool well and is very easy to empty so I am satisfied.

5 out of 5 My Dolphin
Ken –
I love my Dolphin 300.
I tried other pool robot cleaners but they were too heavy when lifting out of the pool.
The 300 is also easy to clean the filters.
Only negative is that the cleaner is a bit too pricey

4 out of 5 A Unique Device
Al –
We purchased the S300 to replace a suction cleaner that slowed down as the filter filled up. In order to keep the suction cleaner running we had to throttle down the skimmer and turn off the bottom drain even when the filter was clean. The S300 is completely independent of the filter and circulation system so can clean even if the pool pump is off or the filter is dirty. A great benefit, too, is we can run the skimmer at full throttle which helps keep the surface a lot cleaner. So, summarizing my thoughts:
Pros: The S300 runs independently of the pump and filter system. It can be set to run for 2 hours and cleans the sides; or 1 hour to just vacuum the bottom. It can be set to run every day for a 5 day period after which it has to be reset (urges you to clean the unit). Very easy to clean with a removable basket that is easy to hose off, unlike many robots that have pleated filters. The basket gives two choices, very fine mesh screens or a filter material. I use the screens. The bluetooth feature lets me clean areas it misses if I have the patience to run it. I often just run another cycle.
Cons: The unit does not have a memory so isn’t able determine if it covers the entire bottom. It often leaves patches of debry untouched, especially along the base of the walls. (The suction cleaner ran all the time so it kept the bottom cleaner, but it also left patches untouched). To be fair, we only use the 1 hour cycle because the coaming of our pool is concrete. When we run the two hour cycle it rises up the wall and the rubber brushes churn against the concrete coaming so we fear it will eventually tear the brushes up. The power supply has to be near an outlet so the cable connecting the power supply to the unit lays on the pool deck. As it cleans the rubber brushes tend to stir up the lighter particles so they don’t all get sucked into the machine. The blue tooth option is rather rudimentary. It gives good fore and aft control but there is no real steering function. To turn it you have to patiently wait for the water jets in the unit to tilt the unit and push it sideways to pivot it and hope it lands in the direction you want.
Summary: Not a perfect machine but it serves our purpose better than the suction cleaners. Have not regretted purchasing this unit and have yet to talk to someone who has one that performs better.

Kevin –
The Dolphin S300 works great. I love the basket and its screens are easy to clean. It can get overwhelmed with leaves so if you have a lot in your pool, plan on emptying it a lot. it does a great job on the water line and doesn’t seem to get caught up on anything. The caddy is very convenient and it is simple to use.

3 out of 5 Does a good job, but........
Kasey Gannon –
This robot does a great job of keeping our pool bottom and water line clean. Easy to clean the filters. My 2 issues:
1. The cleaning cycle only lasts about 3 hours, so I have to remember to go back out and start it again to finish cleaning the pool.
2. The cord is horrible. It does not have a swivel where it connects to the robot so it is constantly tangling/knotting up and when you try to wind it to hang on the stand you have to constantly flip/turn the cording.

5 out of 5 Outstanding pool cleaner
Tony Jaschke –
Expensive, but worth the investment to minimize your cleaning time and maximize your pool time. We have a Barrier Reef Fiberglas in-ground pool. The pool has plenty of curves and free-form steps. This cleaner cleans everything. I typically operate it on the 2 hour cleaning cycle and that is all it takes. I use the app to setup the cleaning cycle schedule so it cleans while we sleep. Like mentioned in other reviews it cleans up the worst of Fall leaves, but count on cleaning out the filter basket frequently, which couldn’t be easier. The cable does get twists in it at times but that is easy to remedy by disconnecting the cable from the controller and untwisting it and reconnecting it. I highly recommend this pool cleaner!

5 out of 5 Love this cleaner
David –
This is my second year with this cleaner. After struggling with Polaris for many years I am so pleased with the Dolphin. Easy to clean. Cleans well. Only became entangled with cord once. The cord does twist on itself but I simply untwist it every time I empty it. Highly recommend it over the Polaris. Seemed I was always working on the Polaris.

4 out of 5 I have 2 Dolphin 5300"s
Keith Kiraly –
I purchased 2 Dolphin cleaners at one time. I have 2 pools at 2 homes in different states.
I maintain them myself. One is salt and one is chlorine.
I have had them for about 9 months so far.
I will say they clean very well. I do not leave them in the pool for days at a time. Once the pool is clean I remove them. Cleaning the basket on the machine is a breeze.
I do have to make sure that the cord does not get wound up in its self.
Sometimes it gets hung up on my steps or the shallow area for my lounge chairs.
Other that that I think it is a great machine. No mechanical issues so far.

5 out of 5 Best Cleaner Ever
ThriftyOne –
This is the best pool cleaner ever. I like the idea of how it operates. It is heavy. But that’s what the grandkids are for- lifting. I turn it on through the IPad app. Then at the end of the day, it gets pulled out and I rinse the filter. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

4 out of 5 Great...But the Cord
Phil –
I purchased the S300 a year ago for my inground pool. This Dolphin works great as long as I keep the coord from the robot to the controller tangle free, which is an enduring feat for me. I pull it out of the pool constantly trying to untangle for it to only go back to the big mass of tangles after the next use. Great at picking up debris from the bottom of the pool.

3 out of 5 Does not clean free form pools
Donald Schlicht –
I tried two demos units, one a Dolphin Echo and the other a Dolphin S300. I have a small “L” shaped pool and both cleaners would not automatically go into the short side of the “L”. I even tried starting the unit with the unit in the short side, and it still did not clean it! The only way the unit entered the short side of the “L” was to drive it there via the app. May work good for a rectangular pool, but not for a free form pool.

2 out of 5 Doesn't Last
Jeff Snell –
This is my third Dolphin I have owned. I bought the S300 in May of 2016 ( 3 month out of Warranty). It stopped working and the lady from the pool store said it’s cheaper to buy a new one vs. getting this fixed. Hard to justify shelling out $1,200 every 2 1/2 years.
It worked great up until this point.

5 out of 5 Dolphin S300
Craig Williams –
The cleaner does a thorough job cleaning the entire pool, even the water line. I purchased the cleaner when they were running a $75 rebate promotion. Filled out and mailed in the forms and followed up with emails as I was completely ignored by the company. Don’t expect the rebate. Makes me worry if something goes wrong with the cleaner in the future.
