Our #1 Above-Ground Cleaner—Like New for Less
Software-Tested Complete
Verified with Maytronics diagnostic software and shipped complete with MaxBin™ basket and power supply.
Full 2-Year Warranty
Includes the exact same 2-year warranty length as a sealed retail Escape, starting on delivery day.
Oversized Top-Load MaxBin™
Holds 60% more leaves and bugs and rinses from the top in under 60 seconds.
HyperBrush™ + HyperGrip™
Scrubs slick algae off vinyl liners gently without slipping on floor seams.
1.5-Hour SmartNav 2.0™ Clean
Maps round and oval above-ground pools up to 33 ft for pennies per run.
Easy 14-Lb Lift
Light enough to lift comfortably over 48"–54" above-ground walls.
Purpose-Built for Above-Ground Pools
Weighing just 14 lbs dry with a fast 1.5-hour cleaning cycle and a 40-foot tangle-resistant cord, the Dolphin Escape is engineered specifically for vinyl, resin, and steel-wall above-ground pools up to 33 feet—scrubbing the entire floor clean without straining delicate liners or requiring any hoses or booster pumps.
Oversized Top-Load MaxBin™ Basket
Forget messy clip-on cloth bags. Pop the top latch, lift out the Escape's oversized MaxBin™ debris basket, and hose it clean in under a minute—holding up to 60% more leaves, bugs, sand, and acorns than entry-level trays.
HyperBrush™ 2× Speed Active Scrubbing
Rotating at twice the travel speed of the robot, the front HyperBrush™ lifts settled dirt, slippery algae, and fine dust off vinyl floors so the vacuum intake captures what passive suction cleaners leave behind.
HyperGrip™ Continuous Rubber Tracks
Instead of plastic wheels that spin out on slick wet vinyl, continuous HyperGrip™ tracks hold steady traction across floor seams, coves, and slight dished bottoms.
SmartNav 2.0™ Floor Mapping
Onboard SmartNav 2.0™ scanning learns round, oval, and rectangular above-ground layouts so the Escape covers the whole floor systematically instead of crisscrossing the same spot.
Pennies Per Cycle & 2-Year Maytronics Warranty
Low-voltage 24V DC power draws roughly 180 watts—about 5 cents per cycle—while saving wear and tear on your main pool filter. Every Escape includes a full 2-year Maytronics warranty.
Independent Hands-On Reviews
Inspected, Complete & Backed for 2 Years
Every Certified Open Box Dolphin Escape passes Maytronics software diagnostics on motors, HyperBrush™, tracks, and power supply before shipping—complete with its oversized MaxBin™ basket and a full 2-year warranty starting on delivery. Compare with Certified Refurbished Escape or Factory-New Escape.
