(2024 Model) Explorer E40 Wi-Fi Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner Pools up to 50 FT - Waterline Scrubber Brush

This unit is to replace my nearly 10 year old Dolphin M400. As far as I could tell, the specs from this unit to the M400 are identical. 3 motors - 2 drive and 1 impellar (same as the M400). 4500 gallons per hour of water movement (same as the M400). Cleans sides and water lines and lets you use ultra fine filters as well - (did not come with these specifically - but had them from using my M400 and they are the exact same fit) It came with just the 1 basic set of filters. I have ran it probably 5 times now - just got it 5 days ago, and so far this unit - like the M400 has no problem with pool drains. I don't use the app - so I can't say anything about that, sorry.

This is my second Dolphin pool cleaner. I’m encountering an error signal on the main power unit, causing the lights to alternate between green and blue. I had a similar issue with a similar model three years ago. I sent it back for warranty work, and it lasted until the warranty expired before failing again. Now, I’m in the same situation with a dolphin cleaner that’s only seven months old. Before purchasing this machine, consider your options.

Wasn't sure I wanted a wifi phone controlled bot, but so far the wifi has been flawless. I knew what features I wanted and I wanted a wired bot. I would have preferred the larger basket model but what a difference in price to get all these features with large basket, $400 more for the e70 model. The e40 has active cleaning roller, manual steering which is a benefit of wifi control. I really like the manual steering control. I'm very happy with the E40 model, thus far. Both of my sons have lower end Dolphin bots and they have been very reliable for them. Now that I,m getting older, that I realize vacuuming is for the young.

This is our 9th robotic pool cleaner and have had issues with all. The 2 Wybots being absolutely horrible. The three major issues with the Dolphin is: it is tethered, very heavy and the power supply. It is so heavy that it's very difficult for my wife to handle the cleaner. The power supply can't be in direct sunlight and must be vented. Most pools are outside and think this is a significant design flaw. Lastly, they've done Nothing to improve wifi connectivity. It ONLY runs on 2Ghz and if your signal isn't maxed you will have connection issues. The good: it cleans well.
