What reviewers say about the Dolphin Premier

Only one whitelisted tester, Digital Trends, covers the Dolphin Premier, and only as a spec-driven buying-guide pick — not a hands-on lab test, so no measured data exists. It praises the twin 24-volt motors and dual scrub brushes, Smart Nav mapping and interchangeable filter cartridges, but flags the ~$1,800 price and total lack of a companion app.

Based on 1 review · 2025-04-02

Tested by Digital Trends

Consistently praised

  • Two 24-volt DC motors and twin scrub brushes clean every square inch of the pool
  • Smart Nav software auto-maps the pool for full coverage with no app needed
  • Three interchangeable filter cartridge types for different debris and cleaning needs

Commonly flagged

  • Expensive at nearly $1,800
  • No companion app or mobile interface

Where reviewers disagree Single-source only, so no cross-source comparison is possible. Digital Trends' entry is a qualitative buying-guide blurb built from specs, not a hands-on lab test with measurements (tested:false, zero measured values). No corroborating whitelisted source could be gathered.

The almighty Dolphin Premier is the king of all pool robot vacs
the onboard Smart Nav software automatically maps your pool by way of algorithmic sensors, ensuring no corner goes untouched.
It's a bit of a disappointment, but you are able to schedule weekly cleanings directly from the vac's power/control interface.
