Dolphin Sigma vs. Polaris F9550

Portability Comparison

In terms of measurements, Dolphin Sigma is 23 x 19.5 x 13.5 inches and Polaris 9550’s shape is cubic with a size of 22 x 22 x 22 inches.

Weighing 35 pounds, Dolphin offers a more streamlined experience than Polaris, which weighs 43.6 pounds.

Dolphin Sigma presents a refined white aesthetic, in contrast, the Polaris 9550 has a striking blue color and features two large wheels on each side.

Unlike Polaris 9550’s brush system which features a solid-blade scrubbing brush and aqua-Trax Tires, Dolphin’s brush system comprises dual scrubbers and hyper grip tracks.

Power Comparison

Suitable only for Fiberglass, Gunite/plaster and Vinyl pool surfaces, the Dolphin Sigma is optimized for use in pools measuring 50 feet in length.

This round goes to the Polaris pool cleaner, as it can clean all floor types effectively and possesses the capability to clean pools up to 60 feet in length.

While both machines have a cleaning cycle of 2.5 hours, the Dolphin is less user-friendly as it lacks the easy lift system that the Polaris has, making it more tiring to use over extended periods.

The Polaris 9550 pool cleaner is equipped with a water propulsion system that aids in the removal of debris from tight corners and under stairs. On the other hand, the Dolphin Sigma compensates for this lack of feature with an anti-tangling swivel cable that grants it more flexibility in the pool.

Both machines are designed to operate quietly, with low motor noise, so you won’t be disturbed by the clicking sounds that can be found in other cleaners.

Although it lacks other features, the Dolphin Sigma’s larger filters facilitate the cleaning process by allowing for a smoother flow of water and efficient removal of contaminants.

Features Comparison

While both Dolphin Sigma and Polaris possess timer settings and advanced navigation capabilities, Dolphin Sigma can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app, unlike Polaris which can only be controlled with a handheld remote, which can be less convenient. Moreover, losing or breaking the remote will cause issues in managing the Polaris robotic pool cleaner.

One of the most noteworthy features of the Polaris 9550 is its easy lift system. By pressing and releasing the button at the desired location, the robot will rotate counter-clockwise and wait by the waterline for you to retrieve it, allowing for smooth removal of the machine from the pool. On the other hand, the Dolphin Sigma lacks this feature, making the Polaris the clear winner in this comparison.
