Advanced Filtration

The Escape’s easy to use, advanced filtration system sets it above and beyond what you’d expect from a typical automatic pool cleaner. Its super-fine filtration allows it to clean debris of all sizes, from algae to large leaves, and its large, oversized cartridge mean emptying the filter less often. Cleaning out the filter is a breeze with top-access filtration that allow you to simply lift out mess-free cartridge and rinse away the debris.

HyperBrush™ Scrubbing

Formerly a feature reserved for expensive inground robots, a fast rotating brush is the most effective way to remove stubborn contaminants from the surface. The Escape includes a HyperBrush™ to dislodge stuck-on debris as it spins two times faster than ordinary pool brushes. Dirt and debris don’t stand a chance against the Dolphin Escape.

HyperGrip™ Rubber Tracks

The Escape is equipped with HyperGrip™ Rubber Tracks to ensure that no surface gets left behind. The tracks grip tightly to your pool’s floor to eliminate the slipping that wheeled robots experience. With the Escape, the debris and tough contaminants in your pool have nowhere to hide.

"The Best Pool Cleaner I Ever Owned"

dolphin escape pool cleaner

Best-in-Class 2 Year Warranty

Traditional pool robots tend to wander aimlessly around the pool, hoping they’ll eventually clean everything. With the new Dolphin Escape, there’s no hoping or wandering involved. It’s equipped with the SmartNavTM pool mapping system to ensure that it not only cleans every inch, but it also doesn’t waste time overlap cleaning paths. This innovative system means you’ll never need to worry whether or not it actually cleaned the whole pool.

Highly Efficient DC Motors

The Escape’s engineers set out to build a robotic cleaner that accomplished a thorough and efficient clean with less energy, and their success is evident in the new Dolphin Escape. With dual 24-volt DC motors driving the Escape around the pool, the robot uses only 180watts, or almost 90% less than traditional cleaners who can use up to 1800watts. This balance of power and efficiency ensures you get the best of both worlds every time you clean.

Dominic Tate - 5 Stars

After 5 years with the Pool Rover Jr., I replaced it with the Dolphin Escape for my above ground 18x33 oval pool. After one season, I could not be happier. In my opinion, a much better product for the following reasons: it brushes the bottom of the pool, removing stubborn algae, does a much better job cleaning the corners of the pool walls and even slightly climbs them, the cord does not twist up, emptying the bag and cleaning it is a breeze, much faster than the pool rover and you don't have to worry about remembering to switch the swivel pin from side to side, it has a larger handle making it easier to hook and lift out of the pool. It has done an excellent job cleaning my pool. I've read some reviews by some who are not happy with the supplied basket and they end up purchasing an accessory finer basket for very small debris. I think the supplied debris basket is fine. I do not know how reliable and how long the product will last but it seems to be sturdy and well built.

Harrison Lowe - 5 Stars

This unit is being used in an above ground pool, 24' diameter. This is an excellent cleaner. I use it at least once a week and my pool has never been cleaner. Extremely easy to use and clean. I have recommended this unit to several friends.

Robert Glidewell - 5 Stars

The machine is actually really amazing. And it's as easy as the seller says, out of the box and it's ready to go. Used it for six cycles so far and it picked up a lot of really fine debris. I'm using it on a brand new pool, so the stucco is what it is primarily picking up. I'm using it in Miami, so can't speak for seasonal pool users, but for down here, this machine is a pool maintenance company's worst nightmare.

Marshall Stinson - 5 Stars

FANTASTIC replacement for surly, strange poolmen with which I still needed a Great White (Florida - don't ask. Help just isn't what it is in other parts of the country.). If it continues to work for years, I'll say that it's well worth the price. No assembly necessary. Filter cleaning takes 15 seconds. Two passes in my pool and it is sparkly clean. This should save quite a bit of electricity since I will not need to run my pool pump constantly as I was with a suction based Great White. I have a 25x18 freeform (very curvy) in-ground pool with depths ranging from 3.5 feet to 7 feet. This does climb walls well, makes it to a carve out for seating in the deep end, and makes it up the steps (at least all the steps but the very top step). So far, so good! I'll update this review if things change.

Holly Payne - 5 Stars

This is the first robot pool cleaner I have had. I received it today. It was so easy to use. Just plug up and set in. Did a wonderful job cleaning. And easy to clean up. Ready for the next cleaning.
