Dolphin Explorer E70 Review

What features does it have?

The Dolphin Explorer E70 sits near the top of the Explorer line, and it shows. This is a strong, thorough wall-climbing cleaner that tackles the floor, walls, and waterline with ease. If you want comprehensive, hands-off cleaning, the E70 is a standout in 2026. Here's why.

Waterline Cleaning

The Dolphin Explorer E70 has waterline cleaning. This is an essential feature that you'll want when looking for a pool robot. It allows the robot to climb and reach the dirtest part of your swimming pool. Without this feature, you'll likely still need to manually clean your waterline by hand with a brush. It is one feature that you'll need and we're glad it is included with the Dolphin Explorer E70.

Wall Climbing

Clean like a pro. With wall coverage, the Dolphin Explorer E70 can clean and scale your walls with precision and power. While Wall Climbing is a great feature, don't get this confused with the superior waterline cleaning feature.

What is Dolphin Explorer E70 missing?

Leaf Bag

With leaves being a common issue, it would be safe to assume most pool robots utilize a leaf bag. Well, no so fast. Nearly every robotic pool cleaner is missing a leaf bag, except the Dolphin Premier. If you have a lot of leaves, this is the best pool robot for leaves. Not to mention the Premier's 3 year warranty, Dual Commercial Motors, and Multi-Media™ make it one of the best models available.

Even as one of the stronger Explorer models, the E70 uses standard filtration rather than NanoFilters and falls outside the ProLine and Max-Series ranges. If you want the ultimate in fine-debris filtration and commercial-grade power, a ProLine cleaner such as the Dolphin Premier or a Max-Series model takes things further.

What's included with the Dolphin Explorer E70?

The Dolphin Explorer E70 includes everything you'll need. Here is what is included with the unit:

• Dolphin Explorer E70 Unit
• 60 ft Cord with Anti-Tangle Swivel
• Programmable Weekly Timer
• Standard Filters
• 3 Year Warranty

How to set up the Dolphin Explorer E70

Simply plug and play. All robotic pool cleaners are ready to go right out of the box. No booster pump or assembly needed. The Explorer E70 has everything needed to get started in its box. It's that easy.
