Maytronics Dolphin Swash

I luv it! – We inhereted a Maytronics Swash when we bought the house, 8 years ago. I presume the Swash was purchased at the time of the build, 14 years ago. It has been and still is ... faultless! I luv it when tech works and lasts longer than advertised. Saves me money, and hassles! A pity it has been discontinued. I'd buy another given the chance. Show details ·  1

Great unit – Great cleaner. Had it now 4 1/2 years. Hasn’t missed a beat. Cleans well and climbs walls to step out level. Only thing is that the outside of the unit has faded but that’s expected in the Aussie sun. Show details ·  1

Absolutely fantastic cleaner – This cleaner has been so good leaving your pool spotless !! Takes the hard work out of having to do it yourself . I would highly recommend this cleaner as it will make life easier if you are after a spotless pool Show details ·  1

Does not do walls – Cleans part of pool and not all? Does not go up walls. Not that good. Maintenance isn’t too easy. Overall ok but not happy how it doesn’t do walls. Not too pleased about this unit  Show details

Don't waste your money! – I wasted my money. This unit does not perform as promoted. It will only occasionally climb the walls of the pool. The pool retailer has continually found reasons not to refund my money. Nowhere in the very limited information that came with the unit did it say that the PH level has to be within a limited range., altho on a number of occasions, it… Read more

was within that range, it still did not climb the walls. Nowhere in the limited information did it say that the unit will take 10 to 20 minutes to map out the pool before it cleans the walls The retailer, Pool-Ezy Echuca, seems to be desperately trying to find excuses, even film the cycle, for two hours and submit the video for their inspection. I have come to a point where I will be taking this matter further. So not only do I advise that you do not purchase this unit, don't buy it from Pool-Ezy Echuca. Maytronics, who appears to be the wholesaler is also creating new reasons not to resolve this matter, from scrub down the walls with a brush to washing the filter out with soapy water.

Works perfect except no swivel always tangling – Can I purchase aftermarket swivel and install. I have tried straightening anti twisting leaving in sun but till tangles daily.only 1 month old and I thought was expensive but the best. I should of made sure it had a swivel when I bought it. It works great apart from tangling Show details ·  3

Scared of deep end! – Excellent pool cleaner if you want only the middle of your pool cleaned. It would seem that it is scared of the deep end. I have footage of the robot heading towards the deep end, then getting scared and running back to the shallow end! Seems to spend 95% of its time going back and forth across the middle of the pool, just like a scared four-year-old! Not worth the cost, would have probably been happy if I'd paid about $200.  Show details

A heap of rubbish – My pool builder supplied me with a Maytronics Swash. It is complete rubbish. It would only run for 10 minutes to 30 minutes maximum before stopping. Sometimes it would not work at all. Worst of all, Maytronics don't do service calls. I had to organise for my local pool shop to pick up and bring it to the Maytronics workshop. That's very poor service from Maytronics.

Doesnt clean all of pool – Seems to work, but only tracks along one side of the pool. This is a brand new cleaner. I would not purchase another dolphin cleaner. It just runs from shallow end to deep end along the wall the entire cycle. More efficent to manually clean the pool, at this stage i wish I had saved my hard earned coin.

Don't waist your money – Unriliable it broke down in the first month,& the pool shop in forge st Blacktown were I purchased it from are not interested in my problem, they were happy to take $ 1700 from me but no after sales service. The dolphin swash cleans my pool but missed the same spots every time no matter how I ajust it It's a lot of money for a doggy product.

A great investment! – After paying a pool business to service my pool for several years and eventually getting annoyed with their variable service level and my pool not always looking perfect and 'ready to swim' (despite the service/chemicals costing $60-$150 per fortnight - ouch!!), ,I finally decided to give the pool service the sack and invest in a Dolphin Swash… Read more

instead. This has proven to be a great plan!

I bought it in January 2014 on sale for $879 (from Active Pool Supplies (APS) Gold Coast) and have been incredibly pleased with the performance and effectiveness of this unit. My pool has never looked better!! Sparkling clean, 'swim ready' and I have only had to spend approx $30 on chemical/salt so far this year. It has already more than paid for itself!! APS have provided great support, advice & service as well as free water testing and very reasonably priced chemicals, so I could not be happier.

I note that our pool is right near a large gum tree so gets a lot of leaves/sticks which you do still have to scoop up as these do not get sucked up or if there is a large amount of leaves (after a windy day or storm for example) you will need to do some scooping as well - however - this is a routine thing to do, is not onerous and supports the effective operation of the Dolphin.

Best decision of the year and I am looking forward to fuss-free swimming this summer!

Is there 10 stars? – We purchased our Swash two years ago and it hasn't missed a beat. The pool always looks spotless after having the cleaner do its thing and its so easy to use. We purchased a second bag and rotate them between uses. We get a lot of leaves in our pool, and this cleaner does the job effortlessly. We have not had to replace a single part on it in the… Read more

two years we have had it, unlike our old Barracuda which needed something replaced every six months. Well worth the money and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pool cleaner. Low maintenance, easy to use, light and reasonably priced. Nothing

dolphin swash – the most terrible experience of a pool cleaner ever. i understand that all things need fixing. but the fix was as almost as much as the unit new - complete rubbish. the thing fell apart in the pool, had it sent off for repair, six months later it wouldnt work, sent it off again. too expensive to repair, in fact i haven't heard back from… Read more

Maytronics.. terrible experience nothing, did not clean the entire pool, had to physically move it to the other end of the pool.
