Dolphin DL2019 Pool Cleaner Review
The pool cleaner, Dolphin Diagnostic DL 2019 holds the 3rd position among top 5 cleaners. The rating is based on design, functionality and the affordability. This machine stands behind the units from Aquabot, but is generally an efficient performer and priced affordably. It is manufactured by Maytronics who make pool cleaners for last 25 years. DL 2019 is backed up with a 2 year warranty on the motor as well as 1 year bumper to bumper warranty on other parts.
Dolphin Diagnostic DL 2019 weighs 21 lbs, and is a simple and distinctly colored cleaner. The multicolored body is almost a hallmark of Dolphin cleaners. Connecting the machine with power supply box or the transformer is easy; the box gets its supply from the main power line. The rest is an easy process of dropping the machine into the pool like any other cleaner.
Dolphin Diagnostic DL 2019 takes more average time to clean a pool. It can’t be an overnight job, but a cleaning time of three hours or less is considered to be reasonable. That is what the assessors look for in DL2019; this is where the speed of performance is hitting it back. If a comparative study is made, one can see Aquabot T2 and T4RC are tested to do the pool cleaning job in 1 hour. Diagnostic DL 2019 also misses the very common adjustable timer feature. This pool cleaner has an auto-shut-off timer, which does the job of shutting off after six hours of running.
Dolphin Diagnostic DL 2019 is fitted with filter made of cloth, which filters up to a size of 2 micron of sediment and muck particles. This falls under average size of microorganisms, and hence the filtration strength is quite acceptable. For this reason, DL 2019 is acceptably good from the standards of hygiene.
From the angle of efficient cleaning, Diagnostic DL 2019 is considered to be good. The unit evenly cleans the walls and floor of the pool and tricky spots like corners and steps. DL 2019 manages the steps with ease. In the terms of comparison, Diagnostic DL 2019 slips behind Aquabot while negotiating the steps. There are diagonally placed vacuum ports for better suction of the scrubbed debris, which is the standard process followed in general.
Conclusion: The overall performance of Dolphin rightfully deserves the 3rd position. This machine is a standard type of dependable pool cleaner. Pricewise, Dolphin Diagnostic DL 2019 is affordable cleaner with a moderate price tag. However, those looking for better features and performance efficiency may go for Aquabot T series models.
