Dolphin Dynamic - How few $$$ ????

[cleancloths]

OK, so I decided to pull the plug and get a Dolphin Dynamic to replace my polaris 380. What is the best price I can expect to find this for. I see Costco sells it online for $999 +Tax, any better pricing?

Thanks

My own 2 cents - If I were ever to buy one, that's exactly where I would buy it. I'm a very satisfied Costco customer. They treat their employees very well IMHO, and their return policy is excellent and fair.

Bought mine on ebay for $700. last year. Haven't checked what they are lately. Totally satisfied after having a Kreepy Krauley and a Polaris 340.

Was that a dynamic or a diagnostic? Sounds too good a price to be a dynamic. If it was, do you remember who you got it from on e-bay (ie - is it a store or a one-shot seller).

It was a diagnostic. non-remote. The seller was smartpools, and I should have mentioned it was factory refurbished with the same 5 year warranty as a new unit. Excepting a small scratch here or there you'd never know it wasn't brand new and the price was actually $650 including shipping.

I purchased the Dolphin from Costco about a month and a half ago. The machine is awesome and the shopping experience through Costco was painless.

what about swimming while the dolphine is pluged in whoos to say accedents happen? lol=)

Dolphin (and all robotics) insists that you must NOT swim while the Dolphin is working.

I personally think it's nuts to be in the water when ANY automatic cleaner is operating. If you want to get in to use your manual vacuum, or your PoolBuster, that's OK, but otherwise you are courting catastrophe.

My NEW Dolphin is working nicely. I'm glad Smart Pool gave me a new one but they never could find anything wrong with the old one--yet it wouldn't work.

Cleancloth,
Did the Dynamic live up to your expectations? The Costco return policy sure looks inviting. I don't see how a person could go wrong.

The Dolphin is a total piece of crap. After running a short while it would go back and forth over a 10 foot section and that was all it would do. I took it back to Costco and they gave me a full refund with no questions asked.

I bought a Blue Pearl instead. It is cheaper and works much better. It has no remote, but none is needed as it makes random turns and cleans my entire 20 by 40 pool in about 2 hours.
