Why corded wins
Corded Dolphin keeps cleaning when a WYBOT needs to recharge.
WYBOT removes the floating cable, but adds charging time, finite runtime and battery care. Dolphin Max-Series™ and ProLine™ stay ready for repeat cycles with reusable filtration and an authorized-dealer service path.
C1 runs on a battery
- No floating cable, but the robot must recharge after its available battery is used.
- Runtime: Up to 150 minutes
- Recharge time: 3 hours
Corded power keeps the next cycle ready
- No charging delay or finite battery runtime.
