Spec-based review: scored from Maytronics Dolphin's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.

Our take

The Dolphin LIBERTY 200 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner is a cordless, battery-powered robotic pool cleaner from Maytronics Dolphin. It cleans the floor and walls, navigates in a systematic pattern rather than at random, using CleverClean, and has no app. A charge lasts up to 150 minutes.

On paper it scores 6.3 out of 10 (fair) against other robotic cleaners. Its strongest areas are runtime (8.0) and ease of use (7.5). Where it gives ground: app & connectivity (2.0) and filtration (4.5). Climbs walls but doesn’t scrub the waterline.

The best price we found is $899 at Leslie's. The typical robotic cleaner we track costs $899, so this one is about average. For what it does, its value score is 3.0 out of 10.

If you want mapping navigation, the cheapest we track with it is the Dreame Z1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner at $349.99.

If you want a Wi-Fi app, the cheapest we track with it is the Dreame Z1 Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner at $399.99.

To spend less for nearly the same spec score, the WYBOT C2 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner (2026 Upgrade) rates 8.4 for $429.

For about the same money, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Robotic Pool Cleaner scores higher (9.0) at $799.

Bottom line: a fair pick for pools with no outlet near the deck and above-ground pools.
