Dolphin M600 or Niya Tracker 15: our take

Dolphin M600 and Niya Tracker 15 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

Dolphin M600 is intended for inground pools, while Niya Tracker 15 is intended for above-ground pools. Dolphin M600 is rated for pools up to 50 ft; Niya Tracker 15 is rated up to 20 ft. Dolphin M600 cleans floor, walls, and waterline; Niya Tracker 15 cleans floor.

Filtration and debris

Dolphin M600 includes Basket and UltraFilter; Niya Tracker 15 includes Basket. That gives Dolphin M600 the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Dolphin M600 provides a weekly timer, smartphone control, and included remote control; Niya Tracker 15 provides one-touch starts and power-supply controls. Dolphin M600 uses a 60 ft corded cable with an anti-tangle swivel, while Niya Tracker 15 uses cordless battery power.

Price, warranty and the decision

Dolphin M600 is listed at $1,999 and Niya Tracker 15 at $199; Niya Tracker 15 is $1,800 less. Dolphin M600 lists a 3-year warranty compared with 1 years for Niya Tracker 15. Dolphin M600 and Niya Tracker 15 each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Cayman. Inground and above-ground pools up to 40 ft that need floor and wall cleaning.
