Buy Dolphin QuantumDolphin Liberty 400 or Niya Tracker 35: our take
Dolphin Liberty 400 and Niya Tracker 35 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
Both robots are intended for inground and above-ground pools. Dolphin Liberty 400 is rated for pools up to 33 ft; Niya Tracker 35 is rated up to 40 ft. Each cleans floor, walls, and waterline, so coverage alone does not separate them. Niya Tracker 35's documented cleaning system includes 2 active brushes, Sonar navigation, and Dual drive motors.
Filtration and debris
Dolphin Liberty 400 includes Basket and UltraFilter; Niya Tracker 35 includes Basket. That gives Dolphin Liberty 400 the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Dolphin Liberty 400 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Niya Tracker 35 provides one-touch starts. Both use cordless battery power. Dolphin Liberty 400 is listed at 17.9 lb versus 19.2 lb for Niya Tracker 35; that 1.3000000000000007 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.
Price, warranty and the decision
Dolphin Liberty 400 is listed at $1,429 and Niya Tracker 35 at $539; Niya Tracker 35 is $890 less. Dolphin Liberty 400 lists a 3-year warranty compared with 1.5 years for Niya Tracker 35. Dolphin Liberty 400 and Niya Tracker 35 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.
