Premier

My old Omeron finally quit after 6 years of hard use. I have been so pleased with how well it cleans my gunite pool that I purchase this same model as the replacement. The fine mesh filter grabs all the dirt and leaves form the pool and is very easy to clean. The filter from my 6 year old unit are still in like new so I am keeping it to do quick swaps before rinsing with the hose. I am always amazed to watch it climb the sides of the pool and clean along the tiles at the water line. My good friend who also has a pool saw mine working and decided to buy one to replace his cleaner. He is also very happy with how well this Omeron works.

After 8 months I had some performance issues. Come to find out, the filter caddy was coming apart. I contacted Maytronics and they sent a new caddy (under warranty) and problem solved. Today for the first time, I used the leaf bag filter after a heavy storm severely contaminated the pool bottom. I was surprised how good it cleaned leaves and pine needles. I initially gave this product a poor review but am changing my rating to excellent due to continued good performance.

Dolphin Premiers leaves the pool very clean. Its fine filter picks up the small debris that flows through other filters. Climbs the walls and cleans at the waterline. Update-Changed from an 5 to an 1. After months with this cleaner it sticks itself on one of the main drains nearly every time it runs. When it is not stuck it does a great job but after changing the main drain covers to see if it would help with it getting stuck it still does the same thing. Can only figure it is do to the flat bottom. Have any changes to this unit been made to help with that? One of the big selling points was that it would not get stuck.

The first pool opening of the year usually consists of me spending the better part of an hour fishing out all of the fall and winter debris that has fallen into the pool around the cover (how that happens, I have no idea!). So when I read a review from a Dolphin product dealer, raving about the large capacity leaf bag on this model, I knew I had to give it a try. And boy am I glad I did! The initial clean was amazing but the bag did get full after vacuuming up about 90% of the leaf litter on the bottom of the pool. So I cleaned out the bag and ran it again. The pool was 100% clean from the floor, all the way up to the water line! The large capacity bag is made of a thick nylon material. So after the second pool sweep, I removed the bag, shook out the debris, and then ran it through a gentle cycle wash in my washing machine minus any fabric softener to maintain its absorbency. Worked like a charm! I also love that you can drop it in the water, leave it, and choose settings to have it run in its own everyday, every other day or every 3 days. I make sure the entire cord is in the water and just close the pool cover over it so that it can run whether I’m here or not. I choose to run it every day and just open it up and clean out the filters on the weekend. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Worth every penny!

I purchased this cleaner because of the hyped professional reviews and the changeable filtration media, especially the leaf bag, as my pool is surrounded by trees. Here are things I don't like: 1). The manual and instructions are truly awful, and the machine is obtuse enough that you need some instructions. It's actually a bit shocking how insufficient and nearly worthless the manual is. 2). It does not clean the steps in my pool, like at all. It works the bottoms and sides pretty well, but never comes up and cleans the horizontal surfaces of the steps, which are big enough to accommodate the unit. 3). The controller is confusing and MUST be reset at least every week. As far as I can tell, you have to tell the controller every week: yes, I want the robot to run for another week. I was surprised when I came to this realization. 4). While the large leaf bag is nice to have, swapping it in and out is not exactly hassle-free. It's enough of a chore that I tend to put it off. Emptying it is also awkward and difficult. 5). It comes with no stand or cradle of any kind. 6). It doesn't seem to be very intelligent, it just randomly runs around the pool, tending to miss spots and waterlines. For the most part, it does clean my pool better than my old Polaris 380 (or whatever I had), except for the steps. It had better last a long time, or my rating will drop further, quickly.

Ordered 3/31, received the very next day around lunch. Just in time for all the pollen to begin falling from the Live Oaks that cover the property! We have had clarity issues ongoing and have been leaning on whether or not to upgrade the pump filter from glass beads to a finer media. We had to FLOC our pool and ever since that time, our clarity has been off. The pool would be clear until the bottom of the pool is disturbed and it would get cloudy. This Dolphin has immediately begun to pull not only stray leaves but all of those fine particles! Says it has a 3 year warranty so we’ll see what the longevity is but out the gate, I’m impressed! You can clearly see in the photos the path it’s made on the first few passes. Super happy right now. *********Update after a few days************ So the oversized leaf bag is the champ! It grabs EVERYTHING off the floor - sand, particulates, etc With that said, we did remove as much leaves and debris as possible with the net before running the machine. It’s great but don’t overload it. The ONLY negative I see so far is the wall climbing capability. We also own the Triton PS Plus, and that one will try to climb out of the pool. Only reason i bought the Premier is because some sensor went out and we didn’t have time to troubleshoot, get to a repair shop, etc. Pollen was literally falling from the trees! The Premier isn’t quite as strong but between the two of these, we should be very good. The leaves and sand are more important anyway because I can scrub the side of the pool with the brush.

Love it Just bought a new house that came with a pool. We had no idea how to take care of our pool and it became disgusting. This robot clean up our pool so nicely
