Missing Weekly Timer
Without a timer, the Dolphin E10 won't automatically run every day. This is an essential feature you'll need, unless you want to manually turn on the robot everyday.
No Wall Coverage
Without wall climbing or waterline cleaning, the Dolphin E10 won't clean any part of your pool's walls and only clean the floors - Missing the dirtest part of your pool, the waterline.

No NanoFilters™
Without these Gen 2 filters, the E10 cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.
