Our Take
Who the Dolphin Proteus DX1 Is Really For
Best For
The lightest Dolphin here at 14.6 lb
The Bottom Line
Retail-channel twin of the Dolphin E10—check Amazon's price against our $499 factory-new Dolphin E10 before ordering!
The DX1 is the base of the Proteus range: no app, no wall climbing, no waterline scrubbing. What it is, is 14.6 lb and completely uncomplicated — the lightest Dolphin here by a clear margin.
Weight and simplicity
Robot cleaners get abandoned in the shed over handling, not cleaning. At 14.6 lb this one doesn't have that problem, and with no app there's nothing to set up, log into, or update.
Smart Navigation
Even at this level it scans the pool and calculates a route rather than bouncing randomly. That's the Maytronics baseline and it's the reason a cheap Dolphin still covers a pool properly.
What you give up
Floor cleaning only. If you need walls or the waterline, step up to the Proteus DX4 Plus or DX5i — or look at the Dolphin E10 and Cayman in our own range.
Worth knowing before you buy
The DX1 is a new listing with almost no reviews yet. The Dolphin E10 we stock is a close comparison with a much longer track record.
Closest model in our store ($499)
Save with our available from Pool Robots Dolphin E10 ($499, Authorized 2-yr warranty) or step up to wall climbing on the Proteus DX3 ($699).
