Why it matters

Dolphin Sigma vs Dolphin Liberty 400: how they compare

The Dolphin Sigma is part of the ProLine™ lineup — the most advanced Dolphin ever, with a gyroscope and app control. It cleans pools up to 50 ft with floor + walls + waterline coverage and NanoFilters™ filtration, backed by a 3-year warranty.

The Dolphin Liberty 400 is part of the Liberty™ (cordless) lineup — a cordless Liberty sold through pool stores with myDolphin™ Plus app control and a 3-year warranty. It handles pools up to 33 ft with floor + walls + waterline coverage and Fine + ultra-fine filter basket filtration, backed by a 3-year warranty.

Our verdict: the Dolphin Sigma wins

The Dolphin Sigma is our pick. As part of the ProLine™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin Liberty 400 with floor + walls + waterline coverage, NanoFilters™ filtration and a 3-year warranty.

The Dolphin Liberty 400 lists at a lower MSRP of $1429, but the step up to the Dolphin Sigma buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
