A floor-only cleaner leaves half your pool dirty. Walls and the waterline collect just as much film, algae, and debris as the floor. Wall-climbing robots grip and scale the vertical surfaces, cleaning walls and the tile line so the entire pool is spotless — not just the bottom.
All of Dolphin's premium and Max-Series models actively climb walls and clean the waterline. Below are the models that clean floor to waterline in one cycle.
Ranked by our pool experts for this exact use case. Every model ships free with a 30-day in-pool trial and $0 restocking.
Flagship ProLine
Reliable active wall climbing plus waterline cleaning and NanoFiltration — a complete clean, floor to tile line.
Most Advanced ProLine
Strong climbing on slick and textured walls, with quad-brush scrubbing and waterline cleaning.
Max-Series Value
Active wall climbing and waterline cleaning at the best value.
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.
Some features (like NanoFiltration) are standard on ProLine models but optional upgrades on others. Know what's included before you buy.
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.
Premium models bundle several standout features together — often better value than chasing one feature on a lower model plus upgrades.
Advanced features are only worth it with real warranty backing. Buy authorized to keep full coverage.

Match the robot to the job
Floor-only robots leave walls and the waterline dirty. Wall climbing cleans the entire pool surface, floor to tile line, in one cycle.
Premium models do. Dolphin's Premier, Sigma, Cayman, and other Max-Series/ProLine models actively climb walls and clean the waterline, so the whole pool is cleaned — not just the floor.
They use tracks or wheels with strong traction plus suction to grip and scale vertical surfaces, including slick fiberglass and textured concrete.
The Sigma excels on both slick and textured walls thanks to its traction and quad brushes; the Premier is a reliable all-rounder for wall and waterline cleaning.
