What the. SIGMA

When comparing this Dolphin Sigma against the Polaris VRX iQ+. Which one you think would outperform and why?

The corded robotic pool cleaners always wins. 🏆

We just got our Dolphin Sigma and love it. However I do have a question regarding cleaning it/emptying the filters. Do you need to fully unplug or turn of the device before emptying the filters? Obviously I’m not looking to get shocked, however whenever we turn off the power supply, the app loses the schedule we set it on. It seems counter intuitive to be able to program a weekly schedule only for the schedule to always reset because you are required to power down the device to clean it. Am I doing something wrong?

Don’t buy this cleaner, it’s trash. After a few months, it’s no longer working

Looking for a review on Polaris 280 Not a sales pitch on the Robotic Cleaner. By the way I have owned the Dolphin at another home. Love my current Polaris 3900 but its 17 yrs old and tired. I would not buy another plug and play pool cleaner. Polaris set up put in pool, set timer and 100% forget it.

Mine only works for 20min then stops and it turns red..?.

bro atleast compare it to other cordless cleaners because the ones that ur comparing it to are different types or cleaners!!!

Is this good for Vinyl pool?

Wish I'd seen this review before I bought the unit

Can you tell me the best pool cleaner for a 8 foot stock tank round?

Is it good for killing zombies?

I have one just like that. Only goes a foot and stops. I cleaned out the fan and it was spinning fine. Still doesn’t work

Does the Sigma have issues going over Main Drain?

That's a ridiculous price tag

Thankyou for saving me $900👌

They all with cables

Boycott Israeli products!! FYI: Their company (including the Dolphin) was founded in 1983 and their headquarter is in Jezreel Valley, Israel. Maytronics Ltd. operates as a subsidiary of Kibbutz Yizre'el Holdings 2004 ACS Ltd. So boycott the Dolphins y'all !

There are a tremendous amount of complaints about the app. Can these be controlled without it?

how many pairs of floor return in one pump motor

Shaina Creek

It's designed to clean flat bottom pools. It's in the literature. You give it a poor review on something it is not designed to do. Like buying a manual car and then complaining you have to push a clutch.

thank you for make this video to tell me gtx1060 is not better than rtx4070

What is the smallest size of the filter? I need to clean dust-like particles from muddy water. Can the filter clean particles less than 180 microns?

No DX5i on the list??

I largely focus on repairing vac sweeps and I have for years it’s a large portion of my job if this helps anybody this is my two cents. Both of these cleaners have a place. If your pool has an existing booster pump go with a pressure side cleaner. Although there’s a yearly maintenance to ensure that they stay running it’s at a minimal cost specifically the 280. One thing Not mentioned in this video is that after these electric cleaners go out of warranty they become insanely expensive to fix dolphin prices can range between $300 to $500 for a cord or motor replacement in my experience with dolphins. This is a guarantee to happen largely because of the assembly of their motor units and the composites they use on their cord. He’s right the initial cost to install a pressure side cleaner is more expensive 500 for a cleaner 500 for a pump, but in the following years, even when both parts are out of warranty, you can generally rebuild one of these two pieces of equipment for the same cost as a single motor unit for one of these robotic cleaners.

Do I need a robotic pool skimmer with Dolphin Premier? thanks

how can you deep clean the nano filters when dirty after regular cleaning? thanks

I’m getting ready to buy my 4th Dolphin in 15 years. My most recent one, the Premier, was purchased in April 2021 and, of course, just died after the 3 year warranty expired. While I’m frustrated with their limited life span (note I live in a cold climate so it is only operated during the summer months) after watching a bunch of your videos, I think I’m going to have to cough up the money and buy another Premier.

We are in Florida and have a bird cage so no need to worry about large debris and leaves however about twice a year we get bombarded with tiny insects that create a real mess on the water surface. We walk around with nets scooping them up and never seem to get them all. Will this product do that job for us?

All Aipers are garbage. I now have the two most expensive versions which were good for about 4 months before they became worthless

I'm one my 3rd replacement. this trash is annoying and it doesn't clean well after a major rain. I have a 24' above ground pool and this pool season has been a challenge with this pool cleaner. It will keep the pool clean if it's already clean. Very disappointed.

Not worth the money. Had mine for three years getting error codes tried to even replace the PV board to no avail. They wanted over $450 for placement card which is almost half the price of these things. Don’t waste your money.

So you say that the Dolphin Escape and Cayman is similar in price to the Aiper Seagull Se in that review but the price isn’t even close?!? The Aiper is $150 and the cheapest Dolphin is $699???

Hey Pool Nerd, great video. I inherited an Aquabot Elite (not the Pro model you reviewed here) from the previous owner of our home. Mine is in desperate need of new brushes but I've had a really difficult time sourcing parts for it. The internet seems largely devoid of information on the Aquabot line of products and your video of the Elite Pro is one of the first I've found calling the product by this name. I've seen similar looking models marketed as "K300" and some evidence that the Aquabot company may have been split into two comanies, a US and International but neither have support dealerships anywhere close to me in Northern California. Do you have any tips on finding parts for these products?

It just kicks gunk up and spreads it around.

Do you still think the Sigma is the best robotic pool vac? I have irregular shaped pool with large “”Baja Shelf” as well as 3 steps down from it and another sitting / step at the other end of the pool. Thanks

Does this work in above ground pool,

the dumping of fake leaves was great

Yes, works well, has a double filter which does better than a single unit, has a warranty, I needed the motor replaced but was returned in 2 days all fixed, great service. I found out by spreading the cord out after each use it gets better after each usage so the cord doesn’t get coiled up. Much better than a fully better unit which only last a couple of hours of run time. I use mine everyday now, super clean pool.

coincidentally your top 5 are all from the same company ?

Your comparing a 150 above ground pool cleaner to "comparable" 499 dolphin cleaner im not sure how thats a comparable price.. but my aipre works well for the dust i need it to pick up in my area and it tends to run for about 90 mins

Can you set this to "FLoor only?"

After thorough research and watching a number of RUclips videos, I decided to purchase a dolphin quantum after my last robot, which was an aquabot finally bit the dust. I use it for the first time today and have to say that I am not impressed. After running this unit in 2 intervals of two hours, each, it only hit one section of the water line once -the rest of the time it struggled to climb walls. Footnote, my pool was extraordinarily clean, as extra precaution I brushed the walls prior to use. It’s simply struggled to climb walls. I have an inground pool. My water chemistry was fine, which I know can impact the performance of a robot. I turned off my pump, and when the quantum went over my main drain, it was stuck there for nearly 10 minutes, no pump running. The unit did not seem to have a tight grip on the floor. It seem to bounce a lot and did not hug the pool. I’m not certain if this is the cream of the cleaning robotic crop. While, I like the anti-tangle swivel, the cord did get caught in the rubber fins. I did like the lightweight, however, compared to my previous robot, the motor was a bit underwhelming. None of the RUclips videos creators provide specs on the motors. This would be helpful. Again, this is my experience, and I am pretty fastidious about pool maintenance. I have a 30 day return and will pack this up and send it back. Very disappointed particularly at the $1000 price point.

Premier or sigma or explorer e70?

I would like your feedback on permanently leaving your robotic cleaner in the pool during the season. For years, I’ve always taken it out after use. However, as these become more programmable, I am wondering if there is any additional wear and tear or harmed by keeping your robot submerged in the pool . Also, pouring chemicals into the pool, do these chemicals have any impact on the electronic components of the robotic cleaner?

So they don't make this model anymore. Is there one that's comparable ? I have 21 foot round above ground, and want the anti tangle cord

Had the same Polaris for over 20 years and having used tractor electric cable pool cleaners as well, I won’t be changing. My pool once opened and cleaned twinkles like diamonds for the rest of the season. Maintenance costs are minimal and the Polaris does its job with minimum attention other than emptying the bag. Strongly disagree with this review but you pays your money and makes your choice.

Can the sigma be used with an above ground pool?
