Blue Pearl Robot - anyone know anything about them?

What $699 Dolphin is the equivalent though? I don't see one.

As for the manufacuring location, that gets into my questions about Tematech in Israel, who appears to likely make it. However, Tematech seems to sell to Aquabot, not Dolphin, even though both are in Israel?

The Blue Pearl is manufactured by Watertech , nothing to do with Maytonics' Dolphin cleaners.it is the lower end of the Blue Diamond cleaner line .It is manufactured in the USA .Watertech is owned by the son of Aquabot .Maytronics is a competitor .

The owners of Dolphin and Aquabot were partners in the Dolphin. They had a falling out and the one left and started Aquabot. I have Aquabot and my parents have Dolphin. They love theirs, but service is a bi*ch. I get my Aquabots locally in Wyckoff, NJ from their huge warehouse. Haggle with them and get a great price.....service is great also.

That does not sound right??? I thought the Blue Diamond/Pearl company was founded by the son of the owner of the company that makes the Aquabot, and that the Dolphin is made by a totally separate company out of Israel.

Dssxxx, sorry but you've got it all wrong ! Maytronics (Dolphin) is owned by a Kibbutz, owned by all the members who live there , this is the Kibbutz's business which is their main source of income, Aquabot was started by the US rep for Dolphin, who went on his own .Watertech(Blue Diamond) is owned by the son of Aquabot , Aquabot and Blue Diamonds are made here in the US , Dolphins are made in Israel.To prove your info incorrect you stated you got yours from Aquabot factory and you haggled with them ??? In another post you stated you got yours at Aqua Distributing, that is not owned by Aquabot, they are just a distributor, Aquabot will not sell direct to consumers , neither will Watertech(Blue Diamond) or Smartpool (Dolphin) !!!!

Well, I have better things to do with my time, then defend my statements. I have personally talked with the owner (1) not many in a Kibbutz, who explained the story to myself and my father about the start of Dolphin and breakup of partners and the formation of Aquabot.

But, I don't give a good crap about what you're trying to sphew.

Good luck.
