Buying criteria

Four things to compare

Sometimes you know exactly which feature you're after — a fine NanoFilter for pollen, a weekly timer for hands-off cleaning, Wi-Fi to control it from your phone. Here's which Dolphin models offer each feature, why it matters, and how to choose the right one.

Is it standard or an upgrade?

Some features (like NanoFiltration) are standard on ProLine models but optional upgrades on others. Know what's included before you buy.

How you'll actually use it

A weekly timer only helps if you want scheduled cleaning; Wi-Fi matters if you want app control. Match features to your habits, not just the spec sheet.

Feature bundles

Premium models bundle several standout features together — often better value than chasing one feature on a lower model plus upgrades.

Warranty & support

Advanced features are only worth it with real warranty backing. Buy authorized to keep full coverage.
