Take all preconceived notions about above ground pool robots and throw them out. The all-new 2026 Escape is here with groundbreaking technology like the top-loading MaxBin™, HyperBrush™ scrubbing and SmartNav 2.0™ to ensure that every inch of your pool is cleaned to a whole new level.
50% bigger than other Dolphin cleaners. The top-loading Gen-2 MaxBin™ captures more debris than ever before and rinses clean in seconds. No more bags.
A Dolphin first for above ground pools. An active brush spinning 2-times faster than the tracks dislodges algae, bacteria and biofilm so you don't have to.
Microprocessor controlled scanning maps your pool for complete coverage with minimal overlap, faster cleaning and no hang-ups on ladders or drains.
Twin permanent magnet DC motors filter over 4,000 gallons per hour on just 180 watts. That's about 5 cents an hour to run.
Continuous rubber tracks turn slip into grip on vinyl, fiberglass, tile and gunite for precise tracking and superior climbing ability.
No complex set up, no programming and no charging. Press the button on the power supply and Escape goes to work immediately.
Always forward
The Escape Dolphin above ground robotic pool cleaner was designed from the ground up for best in class power, agility, scrubbing and debris handling. With a groundbreaking list of patented features, we present the fully autonomous robot that shows just how far we're willing to go.
Breaking new ground
Lower, sleeker, and perched on a wider stance, the striking presence of the All-New Dolphin Escape presents a new standard for the modern above ground pool robot. Escape is built to push the boundaries of autonomous, self-cleaning pools.
Born electric.
There was an opportunity to get more from less. To optimize the work input to work output. Inefficient AC motors are eliminated. Replaced by dual permanent magnet DC motors. No more friction losses and backpressure.
Famous for a high ratio of torque to inertia, DC motors provide up to five times rated torque, without stalling. 24 volt DC motors require 87% less energy than the motors that power traditional above-ground pool cleaners. Escape runs on just 180 watts for an operating costs of just 5 cents per hour.
A Dolphin first
For the first time ever in an above ground robotic pool cleaner, Escape powers into position. Then a high speed rotational brush handles difficult colonies of bacteria, algae, and biofilm with ease. Spinning at nearly one revolution per second, Escape deep cleans, scrubs, and vacuums so you don't have to.
There has never been another above-ground cleaner like it. For the first time ever, engineers at Dolphin combine the Gen-2 MaxBin technology with HyperBrush scrubbing and SmartNav 2.0.
Large. In charge.
For a complete clean, your pool robot needs a filtration system that can handle debris of all sizes. The Escape is equipped with a massive filter cartridge that can easily be lifted out through the robot's top-access door. It's the largest filter ever in an above ground robot.
Voted the Best for Above-Ground Pools by The Spruce, recommended by every expert who has tested it, and rated 4.8 out of 5 by 1,894 pool owners.
“Rated Best Above-Ground Robotic Pool Cleaner after testing nearly 30+ robotic pool cleaners in my pool, the Dolphin Escape stood out as a superior choice for small inground and above-ground pools.”— Justin D., The Pool Nerd
“For around $600, the Dolphin Escape is kind of a no-brainer. You’re getting solid cleaning performance, strong suction, and a filter system that’s super easy to clean.”— Ryan, ActuallyUsed
“By far, this was my favorite filtration option I reviewed after testing over 50+ pool robots. Another trademark of the Dolphin Max-Series, the Escape’s MaxBin was super easy to clean. To clean, you open the latch, dump the debris, and rinse. It took me less than one minute to clean.”— Brian Williamson, Pool Express
From Escape owners
“I can’t brag enough on this Dolphin. This machine is amazing at cleaning my entire pool bottom and super easy to use and clean out. I LOVE the extra large filter that even catches sand! The ease of use, just drop it in the pool and turn it on.”Sherry H.Verified purchase · Amazon
“I got the Dolphin Escape 2026 model for our above ground pool. So far it has already been a lifesaver! … I can empty and run another cycle and not worry about a charging cycle or down time after a windstorm where we collect extra in the pool. … So this has been a game changer for maintenance!! Worth every penny.”Amazon customer2026 model, above-ground pool · Verified purchase · Amazon
“Wish I had gotten this years ago for our above ground pool. I purchased this at the beginning of the summer and have been using it for the past 3 months. Very happy with the product. Good quality, works amazing at cleaning the pool. … Navigates around and in between our pool stools and doesn't get tangled. Saves on water as I now backwash the filter much less frequently.”Peter D.Above-ground pool · Verified purchase · Amazon
