Why Dolphin Sigma is our pick

Buying guidance

Dolphin Sigma or Aquabot REVA: our take

Dolphin Sigma and Aquabot REVA 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 pools. Dolphin Sigma 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. Dolphin Sigma lists 2 active brushes, SmartNav 3.0 with gyroscope navigation, and Triple commercial-grade DC motors. Aquabot REVA lists Gyroscope navigation.

Filtration and debris

Dolphin Sigma has documented included filtration—Standard filter and NanoFilters—while the other model's included media is not fully published. That gives Dolphin Sigma the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Dolphin Sigma provides a weekly timer, smartphone control, and included remote control; Aquabot REVA provides smartphone control.

Price, warranty and the decision

Dolphin Sigma is listed at $2,399 and Aquabot REVA at $499; Aquabot REVA is $1,900 less. Dolphin Sigma lists a 3-year warranty compared with 2 years for Aquabot REVA. Pool Express pick: Dolphin Sigma. Dolphin Sigma includes filtration for sand, pollen and other fine debris. Dolphin Sigma carries a 3-year warranty instead of 2 years. Choose Aquabot REVA when it is the better fit for shoppers prioritizing the lower $499 starting price.
