Buy Clear UVClear UV or Dolphin EON 100: our take
Clear UV 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
Clear UV is intended for inground pools, while Dolphin EON 100 is intended for inground and above-ground pools. Both are rated for pools up to 50 ft. Each cleans floor, walls, and waterline, so coverage alone does not separate them. Clear UV lists 2 active brushes, Intelligent navigation (C9 microprocessor), and Quad (2 pump + 2 drive) motors. Dolphin EON 100 lists SmartMap navigation.
Filtration and debris
Clear UV includes UltraFilter; Dolphin EON 100 includes Basket. That gives Clear UV the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand. Dolphin EON 100 has the better documented path for bulky leaves and larger debris.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Clear UV provides a weekly timer, smartphone control, and included remote control; Dolphin EON 100 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control. Clear UV uses a 59 ft corded cable with an anti-tangle swivel, while Dolphin EON 100 uses cordless battery power. Clear UV is listed at 27.6 lb versus 22.1 lb for Dolphin EON 100; that 5.5 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.
Price, warranty and the decision
Clear UV lists a 3-year warranty compared with 2 years for Dolphin EON 100. Pool Express pick: Clear UV. Clear UV includes filtration for sand, pollen and other fine debris. Clear UV adds built-in UV-C water treatment while the robot cleans. Choose Dolphin EON 100 when it is the better fit for owners who value cordless handling more than automatic scheduling and continuous power.
