Type of Filter
The filter mechanism is one of the main reasons to go with this model thanks to the wide range of options delivered. Instead of a single of even double filter setup like most models you can choose your own adventure.

Switch between micro-cartridges, standard cartridges, oversized debris bags, and disposable debris bags at will. It is always nice to have options whether the storm was a party or an actual storm.
Cable
The Dolphin Premier pool cleaner makes use of a long power cord to retain its power like much of the competition. The 60-foot length puts it towards the higher end though its whats on the inside that really counts. With the help of twin motors, this robotic pool cleaner is one of the most energy-efficient on the market.
A micro-controller helps to make this pool cleaner exceed the efficiency of 90% of the competition. The use of DC motors over AC allows this cleaner to work with the power of magnets for incredible efficiency.
Design
The look of the Dolphin Premier foregoes a bit of class for utility with its easy to grip handle. Simply lifting your machine out of the pool isn’t too much of an issue with a water release system. With a dry weight of 22 pounds though it will take some effort to lift and move around on its own. A tangle-free cord design helps to keep mobility easy while making it easy to store as well.
Performance
With its price and other features, you shouldn’t be surprised to find that this robotic pool cleaner excels at its main duty. With an extra-wide base and dual stabilizers, the Dolphin Premier is able to effectively navigate most pools.
The suction power is intense achieving up to 4,500 GPH reaching a level only met by other state of the art cleaners. Even though the motors are efficient they are still capable of putting out up to 3,000 RPM. All of this combines for a powerful machine that gets almost any job done.
Climbing Ability
The Dolphin Premier makes use of its HyperGrip rubber track to cling to surfaces. With an extra-wide surface and powerful rubber tracks, this cleaner can climb up most walls. By covering a large surface this machine can easily grip flat surfaces though it may struggle with some more rugged walls or protrusions. It relies on water to hold its pressure so don’t expect it to clean surfaces away from the water. Beyond climbing walls, the Dolphin Premier has waterline cleaning capabilities as well.
Cleaning Cycles
Just like how you choose to store your debris the Dolphin Premier lets you decide when you want to pick it up as well. The basic cleaning cycle that covers floors, walls, and the waterline will take 3 hours. That is right, what you would expect for a full-service job. You also get options for how often you want to clean with automated cleaning. Shuffle between daily, every other day, and every three-day procedures to suit your preference.
Deflecting Features and Sensors
Finding the way to go is not an issue when it comes to the Dolphin Premier with excellent pool mapping. Making use of SmartNav robotic scanning technology the Dolphin Premier takes an accurate snapshot for optimal cleaning. Its pattern creating technology can sense ladders and drains to efficiently get the job done. With help from its microprocessor, you can rely on this cleaner to intelligently navigate about its work.
Other Features
The features of this model come in pairs with dual everything to reach a high level of cleaning. Dual stabilizers help it navigate across nearly any surface. Dual motors help it efficiently save power and time. Then you have wide tracks and dual scrubbing brushes to make sure that every bit of debris gets picked up.
