Head To Head Review Analysis
All in all, the Dolphin Sigma is one of the best robotic pool cleaners you can buy today. It isnt cheap, but you also get what you pay for (and then some). Having seen many, many robotic pool cleaners at work over the years, we can wholeheartedly say the Sigma is one of the best investments you can make for your pool. Best of all, its compatible with virtually every pool shape, and surface up to 50 feet. So no matter the shape and size of your aquatic oasis, the Sigma could be the game-changer youve been waiting for.
It may not have all of the bells and whistles of other robotic pool cleaners on the market, but it isnt hindered at all by its simplicity. For less than $500, youll have a hard time finding a comparable robot that can tackle an above ground pool as thoroughly as the S50 does. Its power and simplicity are the perfect combination, making it a solid choice for any small to medium-sized above ground pool.

Received my stigma today, so far it does exactly what its supposed to.
5 Stars!
5 Stars! Our home flooded in 2016 and pool had been left alone till now. We added algea killer and shocked pool. Algea had went to bottom after dying sucked right up. There are also chunks of concrete that it managed to pick up from a demo of steps into pool.

Simply awesome
Simply awesome how much debris it picks up. Very easy to clean with top loading cartridges. Happy to be done with bag systems.
Love it.
Love it. The Gyro makes perform very well. Had a pool cleaner without a gyro which did not perform as well and did not go up the side walls.
Wish we purchased sooner

Worth the money
This is the best cleaner that I had. Dolphin knocked it out of the park with this one .Going from and older Dolphin that was garbage to this is leaps and bounds.I had Polaris before no comparison to the Dolphin Sigma with two different filters you can pick up micro debris. I had some scale and algae heavy on the bottom of pool and up walls to the water line .The sigma cleaned it all up even the acorns and the big oak leaves got sucked up by the Sigma. This was well worth the money

I love my Dolphin Sigma Robotic Pool Cleaner!
Fantastic Job
Have only had it for a month but it does a fantastic job. Had a polaris 9450 that was ok if the POS motor would last more than 3 years. This Dolphin Sigma really does a good job scrubbing the walls of the pool. I have not had to brush the walls in 4 weeks. The 3 motors shoots the water out the top vs behind the unit like all the other brands do which stirs up debris that never gets vacuumed. My Polaris was in the pool every day having to clean,,, the Dolphin every 3 or 4 days because it does such a good job. Ill never regret paying what I paid because of the time it gave me back for myself. My pool is 32,000 gallons and it does the job in about 2 hours. So worth it, but my only complaint is you spend $1,300 bucks and youd think the dang caddy would come with it but thats another $130. Please!
It's great
Its great, better than the old one I had and that lasted 10 years
I am so happy!
My pool is very close to my neighbor's beautiful HUGE pine tree. I have a never ending issue with debris from the tree...pollen, bark, needles, and bits of cones. Also I have a "Grand-Dog" (Labrador) who swims often and sheds constantly. The Letro Legend that came with the pool tried but was never successful at thoroughly cleaning the bottom. The Dolphin Sigma is amazing! This 12 year old pool has never been so clean. To say I love it may be an understatement. I take videos of it to show friends, yeah, OK that may be a little weird...The first couple of times we ran the Sigma Robotic Cleaner the filters were filled with huge amounts of sludgy goop all that stuff was in my pool...ICK. Now the filters have a more normal amount of debris. Seriously crystal clear and clean water, I am so happy!
Satisfied
Very satisfied with this purchase
Does a great job!
Runs well, does a great job! Arrived in a timely fashion with no problems. We are very happy with the robot!
Couldn't be happier
I love it I throw it in the pool hit the on button and away it goes. The robot picks up big leaves and gets the entire pool every time I couldnt be happier
Great
Great. Does not get hung up... Does a great job.
Fantastic Job
My only compaint is that this is a heavy unit to lift out of the pool. Does a fantastic job of cleaning. The blue-tooth feature requires one to be very close to the power unit but I don't use it anyway.
Excellent
Excellent through first three months of use. Efficient and thorough cleaning of all surfaces (bottom, walls, stairs) of our plaster pool. Filters very easy to rinse with hose. Easy storage away from pool with optional Premier Caddy, can be wheeled to pool deck and hooked up and functioning within a minute.
Best thing since sliced bread
This thing is the best thing since sliced bread! Works just as advertised and we love it.
Loving the clean pool
2 months in and loving the clean pool. Bluetooth is fun once or twice but really is not responsive enough. Put it in auto mode and you will be a happy camper, just do not forget to empty it because it really does clean the pool better than you think it will.

Keeps my pool clean
I don't know how I made it this long without it! Turns on every day at the same time climbed the walls and the stairs cleandtthe benches does a great job and keeps my pool clean.
Great Company!!!
This the second Dolphin cleaner that I purchased. The product has worked just as expected, great company!!!!!
WOW!
Sigma pool cleaner even goes up sides and stairs, WOW! The pool has some staining and I thought I would have to pressure wash the pool. Sigma has gotten most of the staining off, Great Job. If I were to rate it from 1 to 10 I would give it a 11 or 12!
Worth the investment
We are longtime dolphin owners. Our last model was nearly seven years old when it finally died. We bought this one based on the reviews and LOVE it. Its so much faster and cleans the wall of our pool so well. Definitely an upgrade and worth the investment.
Pleased
We live in an area with a very heavy bio-loading on our pool (Savannah). We have multiple large oak trees among other species that make a mess of our pool on a regular basis. Prior to ordering the Sigma, we had the typical jet pump-powered pool cleaner on a daily timer. The bag was always filling up pretty quick and the tracks were starting to wear so the motion was erratic. We contemplated getting a newer model but I found this Sigma on line and ordered it. I'm glad I did! No more random tail whips of water from the cleaner and it has done a great job. I'd say the two filters are each about the volume of the prior pump filter bag, so we get double the volume of debris before cleaning. More importantly, this unit has be run daily for almost 9 months while providing us with a cleaner pool. I will say that just recently the bluetooth capability has stopped working but the Sigma keeps working just fine. I don't need the bluetooth capability and never really used the virtual joystick to move it around. I just let it do it's thing.
Sigma Review
Cleans all the way up to waterline, walls, even the pool table base!
Love
Love it
Thank you Dolphin Sigma!
My husband always took care of our very large pool. Recently he had a heart attack which caused a lung condition to come out of remission and go crazy. He is now on a lung transplant list. Needless to say we had to hire someone, move, or I had to find a way to handle the task that took him hours every day. I found that technology had come to my rescue. I ordered the Dolphin Sigma because it seemed the easiest to handle and the technology was the latest. It is awesome!! I put it in the pool, plug in the unit, and push the on button. End of story. I had just replastered the pool and this picked up all the tiny specks of plaster dust, leaves, twigs, and dirt. By the time a two hour cycle is done, the pool is spotless and sparkling. I then lift the sigma out of the pool, drain off the water, unplug the unit, and set it on the dolly. Then I pop up the cartridge cleaners and hose them clean- 3 minutes tops, and put them back in. No more hoses and vacuums in the pool all day. My grandchildren can swim in a clean pool with nothing in their way. I feel very blessed and thankful that this machine has helped us stay in our home. One headache and chore done! Thank you Dolphin Sigma 2019!!
4 stars
I give the cleaner 4 stars, works great and cleans really good. If has improved my pools appearance and my filter and pump work even better. The app is useless and I give it 1 star.
Love this thing!
Love this thing! Filters, brushes, cleans!! Would've given it 5 stars but: A lot of $ for limited software and programmability. it doesn't do steps well. It only climbs to the coping 25% during a 2.5hr cleaning cycle. Info says it learns pool. It seems to be random like polaris but much, much better job. Still love it and would buy it again 1 month into ownership.
3 stars
The unit arrived on time, in good shape, and worked right out of the box. I was up and running in 15-20 minutes. Running it its first night is did a great job cleaning my not-so-dirty pool and the cable was clearly NOT tangled. Note: It does a GREAT job getting above the waterline to scrub the walls. Impressive wall suction and stability. First cleaning of the filters was CAKE. I really do appreciate the top load panel innovation. Note on filters: Comes with 2 sets, it is not clear which filters are the smaller micron filters. Note on manual: Digital manual accessible through the iphone app is klunky and incomplete. Note on marketing:2 stage filtering is mentioned, but I'm not sure how that is really a thing. You can SWAP filter types, but I dont see how to stack them OR where a 2nd stage would be.Perhaps a disconnect on version / part numbers. I purchased this to replace my recently deceased but very heavily used Aquabot T4RC. I was nervous to purchase this unit because there was very little feedback and information to illustrate its long-term value. Obviously the jury will be out on this for some time. Ill be trying out the daily automation routine through the weekend to see how it does. The phone Bluetooth remote control works SOMEWHAT better than the wonky remote on my old T4RC

We inherited a Polaris pressure cleaner with our pool when we moved into our house a couple of years ago. The Polaris cleaner did a decent job, but it was rather dated, and had have a couple of cons that were rather annoying. One was that it always seemed to get stuck on our ladder in the deep end (despite putting the guards in that side of the ladder). This meant that we had to manual extract it from this location several times during the course of a cleaning. Two, it always missed several spots that we either ignored, more manually vacuumed when the cycle completed. To make life easier, we decided to splurge on the Dolphin Sigma, which seemed to have a lot of modern bells and whistles. I have to admit, it does a better job than the pressure vacuum in less time while using less energy. However, we still have the same two issues as before. Now, instead of the ladder, it gets stuck several times a cycle on the drain cap on the bottom of the shallow end which requires manual extraction (picture). This means that we can't really run it when we aren't home, and can't use any of the auto features. Like the pressure vacuum, it also misses several locations during a cleaning cycle. The remote control feature seems like it should be a solution to this issue, but we haven't been able to actually make that work yet. I would give it five stars if it hit all spots and didn't get repeatedly get stuck on a standard drain cap on the bottom, so I removed a star for each of these two reasons....which was why we decided to explore such an expensive option in the first place.

Sigma Review
I have a screened-in lanai, so I get mostly small bits of debris, much of it floating. (I use a floating autonomous cleaner for fine surface stuff.) This is a saltwater pool using an external DE filter. When refilling the large DE filter, a lot escapes the system - the Sigma is great at removing it. Even though I have a new filter, there is still a fair amount of stuff picked up by Sigma weekly (maybe 1/4" layer at the bottom of the Sigma screens.) Cleaning Sigma's top-loading filters is very easy - very well engineered. It does a good job in cleaning my pool (about 12,000 gals.) I run it about 2x a week. It climbs right up to the waterline - incredible. I've had Sigma for about 2 months now, my first submersible cleaner. Came without a caddy, which was purchased on the same order - a recommended tool. The remote control (Bluethooth to iPad Air2) works, but the response time is about 2 seconds. As an RC pilot, I find this to be incredibly slow - but the Sigma is not going to fly off! I have toyed with the Remote, but not something I use normally. My only wish is that it should have a built-in video camera - LOL. I've filmed it with some actions cams under water - interesting. According to the box, this is made in Israel. A very good product, including the power supply and cable.
I'm Very Happy
) It gets hung up on the main drain at least once per cleaning cycle - like a turtle on its back. The tracks are on the sides, and brushes are front and back, with nothing moving in the entire central under-belly. If the robot drives up on the main drain dead-on, it gets stuck and can't get itself free. A light tug on the cord sets it free and it continues without any problems. However, when running unattended, this has been a big issue. It got stuck at the beginning of the cycle one time, and I
Poor App for Android.
App for Android is very poor. Not the same features as iphone.
Works great!
The one I ordered from Amazon had a defect its handle was detached. I called Maytronics customer support and they had a new one to me two days later. I then returned the defective one to them with free shipping. Their customer support was fantastic. Ive had the new Dolphin Sigma for a week now and am very pleased with it. It does a fantastic job cleaning the pool bottom, sides, bench and tile above the water line. I still have to sweep the tanning ledge since the Sigma isnt supposed to be operated in less than 2 1/2 feet of water. I havent had many leaves, but the few I had were picked up easily. There have been several bad reviews about the remote. I didnt get it because I have a smart phone and downloaded the Dolphin app. The app is limited but it does a good job maneuvering the Sigma in manual mode. I use it to move the Sigma onto a pool bench, then powering it off so I can easily remove it from the pool. Ive had no problems connecting my iPhone via bluetooth to the power supply. Contrary to some other reviews, my Sigma has had no problems with my raised drains. It goes over them as if they werent there. One thing I havent seen in the other reviews is that the Sigma also works in a spa. It has no problems cleaning my unground spa, which I was unable to do with my other cleaner. I could not be more pleased with it.
Amazing
Cleans all the way up to waterline, walls, even the pool table base!

Great pool robot! It does everything I expected and more. Great value too!
5 Stars
I wish I would have gotten my robot years ago. Saved me so much time cleaning the pool, its paid for itself already.
Happy for $450
This robot cleans entire bottom of our 15×24 pool & goes around the ladder. Living in Florida we wanted something that picks up all the sand from everyones feet & the smaller leafs. Easy cleaning basket pops out the top & it will come apart for spraying off with the hose. After 2 months we are happy so far!

Product was great while it worked. Ive been trying to contact the company for 1 week, leaving phone messages and email messages. Still yet to have been contacted. My product is still under warranty. My pool is in desperate need of a vacuum cleaner that works!
WONDERFUL
MY HUSBAND LOVES ITS PERFORMANCE.
5 Stars
This dolphin cleans the pool great. We have to haul our water and cant always backwash the pool. This cleans it wonderful. It is a lifesaver
Awesome
Its great cleans my pool in about 1 hour and z30 minutes my pool is 16 by 52
Best automatic cleaner I've ever used
This cleaner is the only one Ive ever owned that will actually vacuum the entire bottom of my pool. Even around the edges . It definitely gives you the same results as a hand vacume. Its expensive but totally worth it in the long run.
Love it
This works great. Powerful suction. Easy to use. Very satisfied on how it cleans my pool
Dolpfin S50
I love it easy to use cleans very time no problems so far .
Strong and powerfull
It has a very nice design, not like others where they are glued together and the glue come off. It also has good suction and picks up a lot of dirt. I wish it comes with the Very fine basket.
I love it!!!
I love my vacuum! My pool is under some trees and the vacuum picks up everything it is soooo much easier than using my pool vacuum that uses the pool filter. With the dolphins self contained collection bag, which holds quite a bit, my sand filter does not need to be cleaned as soon often. And I think the dolphin cleans better. One enhancement, my husband wants a joy stick to tell the dolphin where to go .
5 Stars
Works extremely well on above ground pools. I would definitely recommend this product. Only one downfall cord tangles easily.
Perfect Bottom cleaner
Works great, really pulls all the heavy debris up such as leaves and dirt. Will also climb part way up the wall! Easy to clean out debris that has been picked up. For the price it is worth every penny.
Clean pool, No work
We tired of the crappy lady bug pool vac that came with our pool and ran off the pool pump. Decided to go with the Maytronics self powered pool vac. Weve had this vac for a year now. Simply plug it into a 120 outlet and its converted into safe low voltage power which doesnt rely or bog down your pools pump. This vac has its own rubish collect filter bag. We just set it in and forget it !!! So far, so good. Highly recommended
Pool vacuum
I love my vacuum it works great this will be my 2nd year having it
Clean pool with no effort!!
So easy and so nice to just be able to throw the dolphin in the pool and let it go!! The best way to clean the pool with no effort but plugging it in. Its so nice to just being able to throw it in and go do something else till its done. Also so easy to clean, just spray out the basket and its ready to go for the next time
Not right the first time.
I purchased the Dolphin S 50 to save me the physical time to clean my pool. It will pick up most items in the pool but will not collect the finer particles. The pool looks great until an hour or two later and the particles have settled back on the bottom of the pool. I then have to manually vacuum the pool. I talked to the business I bought it from and they told me I could purchase an ultra fine filter for $100.00 that might pick up the fine particles. I did not know this when I spent $500.00 on the S-50 so I would not have to manually vacuum. They have basically said too bad. I can not afford to buy the ultra filter not knowing if it will solve the problem knowing they will not back up the sale with a refund if it does not.I know this because when I was looking at purchasing the S-50 I was told Is a great performer, no complaints, if your not satisfied bring it back. I did and was told I could not return it once it had been in the water. How was I going to know how it worked if I did not put it in the water? Now they want to sell me a better filter basket. You should sell it with the ultra fine basket to begin with. I feel I have wasted my $500.00. This robot pool cleaner does not do the job Right The First Time,or the second, or the 3rd. Very disapointed.
Does not clean bottom

If you are looking for double the work then this is the cleaner for you!! Simply put it in your pool and let it run a cycle or two and just watch it break all the debris into smaller partials making it settle to the bottom of the pool again. Then remove the robot from the pool and start to hand vacuum the big mess that the robot made all in all its double the work.
