The Dolphin ADVANTAGE delivers reliable, fuss-free cleaning at a price that's hard to beat. In 2026 it's still a go-to choice for homeowners who want their pool floor and walls cleaned automatically, week after week.
Clean like a pro. With wall coverage, the Dolphin ADVANTAGE can clean and scale your walls with precision and power. While Wall Climbing is a great feature, don't get this confused with the superior waterline cleaning feature.
Dolphin ADVANTAGE does not included waterline cleaning. Not only is this an essential feature that you'll want when looking for a pool robot, but one you will likely need. Waterline cleaning enables the robot to climb and reach the dirtest part of your swimming pool. Without this feature, you'll still need to manually clean your waterline by hand with a brush to prevent any algae or scum that builds up. It is one feature that you'll need that is not included with the Dolphin ADVANTAGE.
With leaves being a common issue, it would be safe to assume most pool robots utilize a leaf bag. Well, no so fast. Nearly every robotic pool cleaner is missing a leaf bag, except the Dolphin Premier. If you have a lot of leaves, this is the best pool robot for leaves. Not to mention the Premier's 3 year warranty, Dual Commercial Motors, and Multi-Media™ make it one of the best models available.
Just remember the ADVANTAGE doesn't include NanoFilters or ProLine commercial-grade motors. Owners who want finer filtration and extra cleaning power should consider a ProLine model such as the Dolphin Premier, or a Max-Series cleaner.
The Dolphin ADVANTAGE includes everything you'll need. Here is what is included with the unit:
Simply plug and play. All robotic pool cleaners are ready to go right out of the box. No booster pump or assembly needed. The ADVANTAGE has everything needed to get started in its box. It's that easy.
