Buying guidance

Aquabot Elite Pro or Dolphin EON 100: our take

Aquabot Elite Pro and Dolphin EON 100 are compared on pool fit, cleaning reach, debris handling, controls and ownership details. The recommendation is based on the job the robot must do—not a simple feature count.

Pool fit and cleaning reach

Aquabot Elite Pro is intended for inground pools, while Dolphin EON 100 is intended for inground and above-ground pools. Dolphin EON 100 has a published maximum pool length of 50 ft; the other model does not have a verified length in our source material. Each cleans floor, walls, and waterline, so coverage alone does not separate them. Aquabot Elite Pro lists AquaSmart navigation. Dolphin EON 100 lists SmartMap navigation.

Filtration and debris

Aquabot Elite Pro includes Standard filter; Dolphin EON 100 includes Basket. Dolphin EON 100 has the better documented path for bulky leaves and larger debris.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Aquabot Elite Pro provides smartphone control; Dolphin EON 100 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control.

Price, warranty and the decision

Aquabot Elite Pro lists a 3-year warranty compared with 2 years for Dolphin EON 100. Aquabot Elite Pro and Dolphin EON 100 each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Quantum. Inground pools up to 50 ft that need floor, wall and waterline cleaning, with fine debris.

Aquabot Elite Pro vs Dolphin EON 100 specifications
