Buying guidance

BWT RC60 or Dolphin EON 100: our take

BWT RC60 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

BWT RC60 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. BWT RC60 cleans floor; Dolphin EON 100 cleans floor, walls, and waterline. BWT RC60 lists 2 active brushes. Dolphin EON 100 lists SmartMap navigation.

Filtration and debris

Dolphin EON 100 has documented included filtration—Basket—while the other model's included media is not fully published. Dolphin EON 100 has the better documented path for bulky leaves and larger debris.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

BWT RC60 provides no fully published timer, app or remote specification; Dolphin EON 100 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control.

Price, warranty and the decision

BWT RC60 lists a 3-year warranty compared with 2 years for Dolphin EON 100. BWT RC60 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.

BWT RC60 vs Dolphin EON 100 specifications
