Our verdict: the Dolphin Quantum Pro wins

The Dolphin Quantum Pro is our pick. As part of the Max-Series™ / ProLine™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin W 20 with floor + walls + waterline + steps coverage, XXL MaxBin™ + NanoFilters™ filtration and a 2-year warranty.

The Dolphin W 20 lists at a lower MSRP of $1399, but the step up to the Dolphin Quantum Pro buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
