" ...  I hated cleaning the bottom of the swimming pool with my old handheld vacuum cleaner that I purchased about two years ago- I had to use physical hard manual labor to clean the bottom of the swimming pool. ... The Dolphin Escape Robotic cleaner works great! ... So far, no complaints-the floor of the swimming pool is left very clean. ... The screen container holds the items sucked up by the robotic dolphin cleaner.  ...  "

" ...  We call her "Rosie" from the Jestons lol, we run it twice a week, just drop in and walk away, pool is clean in 2 hrs. ...
