The Dolphin Premier is our pick. As part of the ProLine™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin Explorer E30 with floor + walls + waterline coverage, MultiMedia™ + NanoFilters™ filtration and a 3 years warranty.
The Dolphin Explorer E30 is the cheaper option at $1099, but the step up to the Dolphin Premier buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
