What independent testers found
Named testers’ published figures, not ours.
| What | Finding | Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Noted | PoolBots scored it 'Great' for waterline cleaning, coverage, ease of use, and warranty, but 'Limited' for filtration | PoolBots |
| Wall climbing | Cleans and scales walls with precision and power | PoolBots |
| Noted | 60-foot cable that includes an anti-tangle swivel | PoolBots |
- PoolBots calls the Explorer E50 a strong all-around cleaner that climbs walls and waterlines well, though it uses standard filters instead of NanoFilters and sits outside Dolphin's premium ProLine/Max-Series lines. PoolBots
