Dolphin Proteus DX3
Score: 74/100
Zyerch Cordless Pool Cleaner
Score: 70/100Rankings
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 Zyerch SAT25 is a cordless robotic pool vacuum offering up to 150 minutes of runtime, strong 4800 GPH suction and wall-climbing sonar navigation. Its low ground clearance and relatively heavy wet weight may hinder use on deep steps or frequent handling. Ideal for homeowners seeking long cordless operation for pools up to 50 ft.
