Maytronics Dolphin Appraisal

Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner

The item is a robotic pool cleaner, specifically identified as a 'Dolphin' brand model based on the visible logo and the context provided. It features a predominantly white and grey plastic housing, indicative of durable, possibly UV-resistant, materials designed for aquatic environments. The unit is equipped with continuous track-like treads, similar to those found on excavators or tanks, suggesting efficient movement across pool surfaces. A long, thick blue electrical cable is coiled haphazardly on top of the unit, with a smaller, egg-shaped blue float attached to it, indicating it's designed to keep the cable buoyant in water. An external power supply or control unit, also white/grey plastic, is connected via a shorter black cable. This control unit has at least one visible button and an indicator light, suggesting user interface capabilities. The overall construction appears robust, as expected for pool equipment. The unit shows signs of use, including some scuff marks on the plastic housing and visible wear on the blue cable, with some white abrasions. The tracks also appear to have some dirt or debris accumulation, consistent with its function. No specific model number or manufacturing date is discernible from the image, but the design suggests a modern, post-2000s manufacturing period given the streamlined appearance and typical robotic cleaner aesthetics. The craftsmanship appears to be industrial standard, with molded plastic components ensuring water tightness and durability. This specific model is designed for automated pool cleaning, scrubbing surfaces and filtering water.
