Buy Dolphin EscapeNiya Sonar 10 or Niya Tracker 15: our take
Niya Sonar 10 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
Niya Sonar 10 is intended for inground and above-ground pools, while Niya Tracker 15 is intended for above-ground pools. Both are rated for pools up to 20 ft. Each cleans floor, so coverage alone does not separate them. Niya Sonar 10's documented cleaning system includes Dual drive motors.
Filtration and debris
Both models include Basket.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Both models provide one-touch starts and power-supply controls. Both use cordless battery power. Both are listed at 7.1 lb, so lifting effort is effectively the same.
Price, warranty and the decision
Niya Sonar 10 is listed at $149 and Niya Tracker 15 at $199; Niya Sonar 10 is $50 less. Each lists a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Niya Sonar 10 and Niya Tracker 15 each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Escape. Inground and above-ground pools up to 30 ft that need floor cleaning.
