Buy Dolphin Wave 60Dolphin Wave 60 or Dolphin W20: our take
Dolphin Wave 60 and Dolphin W20 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 commercial pools. Dolphin Wave 60 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 Wave 60's documented cleaning system includes Commercial-grade motors.
Filtration and debris
The available manufacturer records do not fully identify the filter media supplied with either robot, so filtration should be confirmed before ordering.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Both models provide no fully published timer, app or remote specification. Both use continuous corded power.

Dolphin Wave 60 is listed at $1,699 and Dolphin W20 at $1,999; Dolphin Wave 60 is $300 less. Dolphin Wave 60 lists a 2-year warranty compared with 3 years for Dolphin W20. Pool Express pick: Dolphin Wave 60. Dolphin Wave 60 is listed $300 lower. Dolphin Wave 60's documented advantages include 2-year warranty. Choose Dolphin W20 when it is the better fit for commercial pools that need floor, wall and waterline cleaning.
