Maytronics Dolphin S 300i

I purchased my Dolphin S-Series S300i pool cleaner on 31-Oct-2015; I decided to buy this pool cleaner after few weeks of research and comparing to other pool cleaners. I even tried to convince my neighbour to buy one but he decided to buy a cheaper cleaner which has been working with no problem ever since.
The cleaner was 2-3 times more expensive of some other cleaners, but I was under impression I was buying a superior cleaner or as you claim in your company values “Exceptional Product”.

Love the Maytronics Dolphin S3--i, its the best product we have ever purchased, seamlessly cleaning all around and up and down leaving our pool crystal clear and refreshing, the blue booth control also easy to use and program completed install everything within 10mins... thank you - excellent product !!

Just for those who are thinking of spending $2k plus with Maytronics. Think again! I purchased a Maytronics S300i robotic cleaner just over two years ago. It's been back to the factory five times for repair during this "warranty" period. Last time the repair bill was $350.00. I'm not sure how a warranty works when the items that wear out as a result of its use are not covered by the warranty. The control unit will only operate in 7 day segments. After 7 days the entire system turns itself off and ceases to operate. Maytronics is unable to fix this fault at all. Probably a product to be avoided. When it breaks down again I'll just put it into the Otto and buy a different brand. Don't say no one warned you!

We have had the dolfin s300i since sept16 (4+ yrs) it was supplied with the pool contract. it was repaired once under warranty and had run without issue until recently. Unable to Find any repair info online I persisted and found that the ‘cable anti twist coupling’ in the power cord was faulty. I was able to pull it apart , repair pins,relube oring and re assemble . It was just not making good connection inside. Has been fine since and is a good alround cleaner doing sides and collecting most leaves. We have lots of small leaf trees. I have only had the pool too far gone in hot weather twice where I had to brush clean the pool.

This cleaner needs more attension than my $100 aldi cleaner. Maybe my pool is to big 9x4.5. No satifaction guaranteed warrenty. That shouls spook you from the start. Can see it been great in a small pool with no trees within few hundred meters.I have to clean it every 2nd day. The filters in it will probably not last a season. Does not get to the step. Cleans ok but needs lots of cleaning. If we go away for a week what would happen.

FACTS
Owned it for a month.
Paid ~$2,400
Pool size is 45,000 Litres

POSITIVES
Does a very good job scrubbing and cleaning tiles.
Hook it up to to home wifi and and download the app and you have complete control of the robot.
Quiet
Climbs up walls easily even with pool cover on....

I purchased my robot 1mth ago, its the best purchase I have made for a long time. We have had our pool of 7ys i wish I had bought one when we got the pool. So easy to use, great that it cleans the walls too. Makes our busy life a lot easier with one less thing to clean.

Robot has been in for repaired twice in 4 years. Told it requires new motor and CPU for $650. Would have been better off purchasing a cheaper brand and replacing it each year. With such a huge outlay one would expect the motor to last longer. This should be covered under Australian consumer law.

I have owned my Dolphin 300 series for 3 years and have had no satisfaction with it at all. Apart from having to have a new power cord fitted ($350 as it was out of warranty), the machine does a poor job of cleaning the pool. It really struggles with leaves, just "pushing" them around, and I always end up having to manually vac the pool, which defeats the purpose of buying a Dolphin in the first place. As for the app interface - a disaster. I just keep getting the "oops, something went wrong" message when I try to access any of the programs ot...

I had JB Pool construction build my in ground pool and spa. The Maytronics range Jamie believed was at the forefront of the Robotic pool cleaner market and rightly so.

I chose the s300i over the m400 for 2 main reasons,
1. App wifi connectivity
2. Design of the large filter/Catchment basket

I have a large amount of leaves and dust on my acreage property and the 300i takes care of it with ease!

Great choice all round!

I love this 'set and forget' pool cleaner. living in extremely red dust environment is made bearable with the dolphin s300i. makes picking up dirt and debris easy! THANK YOU

This unit gets stuck on main drain even when pump is off also I have brick pavers around my pool. Can not help little pebbles from getting into pool. This machine will never pick it up yet previously my tiger shark did great, sorry I did not buy another tiger shark.

Had it a month and pretty disappointed with it.
It is pretty random how it goes around the pool. There are times when it just goes backwood and then forward, in half a meter.
The impeller isn't strong enough to keep it pressed on the waterline tiles.

The cost is excessive when compared to the results.

I trialled a Dolphin s300i on Wednesday and by Thursday I had ordered one. What a great investment. The pool cleaner I had was still working but only cleaned the floor. After the bushfires the pool was blanketed with ash and dust. I thought I would never get rid of it. The dolphin rid of it within a few days. The best thing is it scrubs the waterline and walls so no more lugging of the broom. Our pool has never looked so clean. We have a pine tree close that drops tiny pine needles that sink down and land in the grout lines, I couldn’t believe...

Recently purchased the Dolphin S300i. Great product. Pool looks amazing. Got ride of the dust and leaf matter with ease. Simple to use and to clean. Manual drive mode on phone allows you to target problem areas.
