Score: 74/100
Bublue Bubot 300P
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Dolphin Proteus DX3 offers wall-climbing, smart navigation and a powerful 4000 gph suction for comprehensive cleaning of pools up to 33 ft. It falls short on advanced scheduling, app integration and waterline scrubbing. Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who need floor and wall cleaning without smart-home features.
The Bublue Bubot 300P is a budget-friendly cordless cleaner offering strong suction and a 90-minute runtime for small above-ground pools. Its main drawbacks are frequent sticking on flat surfaces and limited runtime for larger pools. Ideal for owners of flat, above-ground pools up to 850 sq ft who can monitor the unit occasionally.

Industry listings and retailer copy present the Proteus DX3 as a solid entry-level robotic cleaner, praising its lightweight build, strong suction, and straightforward plug-and-play operation, while consistently noting the missing smart features such as timers, app control, and waterline scrubbing as drawbacks.
No independent professional reviews were found; all available information comes from manufacturer claims that emphasize high suction performance, quick charging, and budget‑friendly pricing, without third‑party verification.
Everyday users consistently commend the Bubot 300P's strong suction and cordless convenience, especially for removing sand and small leaves in Intex-style pools. However, many also note the unit frequently gets stuck on perfectly flat surfaces and requires constant supervision, limiting its appeal for hands-off cleaning.
