What customers say
The Dolphin Oasis Z5i consistently earns high marks for its exceptional ease of use and powerful cleaning quality.

While this cleaner represents a significant investment, consumers generally agree that its superior performance in scrubbing floors and walls delivers substantial value, providing crystal clear results without hassle.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Z5i is designed for in-ground pools up to 50 feet and uses the CleverClean navigation system to map and clean various pool shapes, including those with curves or irregular layouts.
No, the Dolphin Oasis Z5i is a fully robotic cleaner that operates independently of your pool's filtration system. It plugs into a standard 120v outlet and does not require any additional pumps or hoses.
The unit features top-access filter baskets, making maintenance straightforward. Simply lift the top cover, remove the cartridges, and rinse them out with a garden hose before placing them back into the unit.
The Z5i uses Bluetooth connectivity, which requires you to be within range of the pool to use the MyDolphin App. While you can schedule cleanings and control the robot via the app, it does not support remote Wi-Fi access from outside your home.
The cleaner is equipped with a patented 60-foot swivel cable specifically designed to rotate freely, which significantly reduces the risk of tangling during operation.
The Z5i provides full-pool coverage, meaning it is programmed to climb and scrub the floors, walls, and the waterline to ensure a complete clean.
