Living with it
- Consumables
- The E10 uses a reusable, top-load fine filtration basket rather than disposable bags or cartridges: Maytronics says you just lift the filter out, unsnap the bottom, and rinse it, so there's no recurring filter-bag purchase. maytronics.com
- Without the app or Wi-Fi
- The E10 has no companion app at all: Maytronics' own spec sheet marks mobile app support as 'No', so there's no remote start or scheduling; you start and stop it from the button on the power supply unit. maytronics.com
- Set-up
- Setup means positioning the cord's power supply unit at the midpoint of one long side of the pool, about 3.5 m (12 ft) back from the edge, and unwinding the cable fully before the cleaner goes in the water. maytronics.com
- Maintenance
- Maytronics' manual says to clean the filter basket after every single cleaning cycle, not just occasionally, and to do a deeper cleaning of the two ultra-fine filter panels inside it at least once a month. maytronics.com
- Warranty
- Maytronics lists a 2-year warranty for the E10 on its own spec sheet. maytronics.com
- Support and parts
- The manual's fallback for anything its own troubleshooting table doesn't fix is to contact your dealer or a Maytronics Service Center, rather than a listed phone or email support line. maytronics.com
- Known issue
- This is a floor-only cleaner: Maytronics' own spec sheet marks waterline scrubbing and wall climbing as unsupported, so algae at the waterline or on the walls needs a separate tool or manual brushing. maytronics.com
- Off-season storage
- For off-season storage, Maytronics says to drain any water out of the unit, thoroughly clean the filter basket and panels, roll the cable up without kinks, and keep it out of direct sun, rain, or frost, between 5-45°C (41-113°F). maytronics.com
- Safety
- The manual's warnings tell owners to keep the corded power supply unit out of standing water and not to get in the pool while the cleaner is running. maytronics.com
- Size
- The robot's own (non-packaging) dimensions are about 17.19 in long by 15.78 in wide by 10.39 in tall. maytronics.com
- Weight
- The robot itself weighs about 14.6 lb. maytronics.com
What independent testers found
Named testers’ published figures, not ours.
| What | Finding | Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Noted | PoolBots scored it 'Limited' for waterline cleaning, filtration, and coverage, but 'Great' for ease of use and warranty | PoolBots |
| Wall climbing | No waterline cleaning; floor-only coverage, consistent with its above-ground-pool design | PoolBots |
| Noted | 40-foot cable with no anti-tangle swivel | PoolBots |
| Runtime | A 1.5-hour cleaning cycle, which the reviewer says means little waiting for it to finish | Popular Mechanics |
- The Pool Nerd's bottom line on the E10 is a caution rating: it will do the job in a small above-ground pool if you can live without wall climbing, fine filtration and a timer, but for most pool owners two Dolphins at nearly the same price are better buys. The Pool Nerd
- On the plus side, The Pool Nerd calls the E10's filter genuinely easy to deal with day to day. The Pool Nerd
- PoolBots' tagline verdict on the E10 is that it's a simple, effective robot for above-ground pools, rated 4.5 out of 5 across 85 customer reviews. PoolBots
- Popular Mechanics names the Dolphin E10 its top recommendation for above-ground pools, saying its scrubbing action is effective yet gentle enough to avoid damaging softer above-ground pool liners. (Best for Above Ground Pools) Popular Mechanics
