Dolphin Premier - Best Overall Robotic Pool Cleaner

The Dolphin Premier stands out as the top-performing robotic pool cleaner, built on the same platform as commercial models costing over $2500. Its dual HyperBrush system actively scrubs pool surfaces while the 4500 GPH suction power removes everything from large leaves to microscopic particles. The unique Multi-Media filtration includes three interchangeable options: an oversized leaf bag, standard cartridges, and advanced NanoFilters that capture particles as small as 2 microns. SmartNav 2.0 technology ensures thorough coverage of floors, walls, and waterlines without redundant passes.

The included weekly timer allows for automated scheduling, while the 60-foot swivel cord prevents tangling in pools up to 50 feet. Constructed with commercial-grade components, the Premier is reported to last up to 10 years with proper maintenance. While heavier than some residential models, its durability and performance justify the weight. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity is offset by reliable physical controls and superior cleaning results that maintain crystal clear water with minimal user intervention.
