It appears that the popular Maytronics "Dolphin" brand has purchased the rights to this Seauto Seal Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner. They seem to be clearancing out the Seauto branded units so they can post the new Dolphin Niya 50 units. The larger, more powerful "Shark" unit which has an inluded ultra fine filter is also here on Woot, but is considerably more expensive at this time at $487.

This must be for above ground pool only
The "ultra fine filter" only works in floor only mode (because it can't climb the wall with the extra weight). The extra filter is useless for me because if I put it in, then it gets stuck on the very bottom and it can't make it up the slope to the shallow end of the pool.
The claim for "intelligent route planning" isn't true either. You put it in and it goes in whatever direction it wants to until it hits and obstacle, backs up, and switches a random direction. I use it twice a week and only twice did I have to run it again because it didn't get the bottom corner of the deep end where most of the items take place.
It takes hours to charge but it typically runs 2+ hours, scrubs the walls, gets the major debris out, and I haven't had to vacuum the pool all season (tons of trees around and I also have the Betta bot). Besides that, it works great and I wouldn't hesitate buying it again. For reference I have an in-ground 20'x46'x10' pool.
Note: There were complaints in reviews about people needing to return theirs because the charger melted onto the device. The company blamed it on the customer not waiting until it was dry before charging it. I always wait a few hours before charging and haven't had an issue yet.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
- it does run 2+ hrs. cleaning 50ft inground pool
- it cleans well. surprisingly well
- climbs 9ft walls easily
- support is slow to respond (had to replace charging adapter)
- Chargers quickly, so you can run it at least twice daily, if needed.
- 90 days warranty is puzzling (originally it's 2 years), but my guess Seato won't be around for long - just too much competition.
- $214 is a steal; that's basically a cost of one visit from a pool company in my /rather pricey/ area.
