Why the Polaris P70 Stands Out

Floor & Cove Coverage

Tracked traction cleans flat bottoms and curved vinyl floor-to-wall coves without climbing flexible walls.

Cyclonic Suction

Keeps leaves and bugs swirling inside the canister for consistent pickup.

Clear-Window Top Canister

Lift from the top and hose clean—zero messy cloth bags.

One-Touch 2-Hour Cycle

Plug into a GFCI outlet and press start; no skimmer hoses needed.

Front Scrubbing Brush

Loosens settled grime and slick spots on vinyl liners.

Above-Ground & Simple Pools

Sized with a 40-ft cord for round and oval above-ground pools.

Who the Polaris P70 Is Really For

Best For

Above-ground pools with a cove

The Bottom Line

Polaris's dedicated corded above-ground cleaner—handles floor and lower cove nicely, though heavier (22 lbs vs. 14 lbs) than the Dolphin Escape and E10.

The P70 is Polaris's above-ground cleaner, and the detail that matters is the cove — the curved join between the floor and the wall where debris collects and where flat-floor cleaners simply drive past.

The cove problem

On an above-ground pool the cove is where the dirt ends up. A cleaner that only handles the flat floor leaves a visible ring you then brush by hand. The P70 is specified to clean and scrub floor and cove together, which is what makes it worth more than a basic above-ground vacuum.

Corded, on purpose

Most above-ground cleaners at this price are cordless and battery-limited. Being corded, the P70 holds full suction for the whole 2-hour cycle and there's no battery to degrade over seasons.

Also fits simple in-ground pools

Polaris rates it for simple in-ground pools too — flat-bottomed vessels without a deep-end slope. If yours has a deep end, step up to the P724.

Another model worth a look

Lifting over a 52" above-ground rail? Compare our 8-lb-lighter (14-lb) Dolphin E10 ($499) and Dolphin Escape ($669, NanoFilter™-compatible, 2-yr warranty).

Polaris P70 FAQ

Will the P70 work in an in-ground pool?

In simple, flat-bottomed in-ground pools, yes. For a pool with a deep end, the P724 is the right model.

Does it clean the cove?

Yes — floor and cove are both part of its specified coverage.

Is it cordless?

No, it's corded — so suction stays constant for the whole cycle.

Polaris P70 vs. Dolphin Escape—which is better for above-ground pools?

The Dolphin Escape weighs 8 lbs less dry (14 lbs vs. 22 lbs), finishes in 1.5 hours, and accepts optional 2-micron NanoFilters™ for fine vinyl-seam dust.
