Dolphin M600 Review

What features does it have?

The Dolphin M600 is one of the larger M-series cleaners, pairing wall climbing with a long swivel cord and a 3-year warranty for 2026. Here's an honest rundown of its features and trade-offs.

Wall Climbing

Clean like a pro. With wall coverage, the Dolphin M600 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.

What is Dolphin M600 missing?

Waterline Cleaning

Dolphin M600 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 M600.

Leaf Bag

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.

It's worth noting the M600 ships with standard filtration rather than NanoFilters, and it isn't a ProLine or Max-Series model. If you want the most powerful clean and the finest debris capture, consider a ProLine cleaner like the Dolphin Premier or the Max-Series. Our best robotic pool cleaners guide makes the choice easy.

What's included with the Dolphin M600?
