LIBERTY 600
2 independent reviewsRead the findings →Maytronics' top cordless Dolphin, built for large pools. It cleans floors thoroughly, filters well and surfaces when you shake a clicker in the water. But it wanders at random rather than mapping, and it doesn't skim.

What reviewers found
There are two home tests, both in Europe: Les Numériques in a 7 × 3.5m pool and Maison et Domotique over about a month in an above-ground steel pool. Both found the floor left very clean, the filter excellent and the clicker genuinely useful. Both also found the random route indecisive at times. Steps split them: Maison et Domotique was impressed, while Les Numériques found the step jet shifted only part of the dirt. Les Numériques was also critical of the app.
Les Numériques, hands-on, Jun 2025 · Maison et Domotique, hands-on, About 1 month in an above-ground steel pool, Aug 2025
Floor, wall and waterline
Mixed resultsFloors end up very clean for Les Numériques and Maison et Domotique. Steps and the waterline are patchier: Les Numériques saw only part of the sand on its steps shifted and sun-dried grime left on the waterline, while Maison et Domotique found it handled steps well.
Debris
Reviewers rate it highlyLes Numériques saw it collect every leaf and all the sand-and-soil mixes it laid down, and Maison et Domotique found the two-layer filter caught cherry leaves and fine particles alike, leaving practically no visible dust.
Coverage and navigation
Mixed resultsIt gets there in the end, but by a random route. Les Numériques saw incoherent changes of direction and one session miss some edges, and Maison et Domotique also found it indecisive at times. Give it full cycles.
Battery and charging
Mixed resultsRun time is ample: Les Numériques got four hours in a continuous floor-only run and Maison et Domotique found cycles comfortable for a busy family pool. Recharging is slow, at five to six hours for Les Numériques and four to six for Maison et Domotique.
Filter and retrieval
Mixed resultsThe clicker that calls it to the wall worked for Les Numériques and Maison et Domotique, and the inner filter rinses in seconds. But it weighs about 12kg, Les Numériques found the pleated panels fiddly, and Maison et Domotique struggled to lift it over an above-ground pool wall.
Pool types it suits
Mixed resultsIt suits in-ground pools: Les Numériques had good results in a 7 × 3.5m pool. Maison et Domotique, testing in an above-ground steel pool, wouldn't recommend it there, because lifting it over a 1.3m wall is hard work.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceOnly Maison et Domotique used it for about a month, finding the materials held up to sun and chlorine with no drop in performance. None of the reviews we use ran it longer or judged Maytronics' support.
Value
Not enough evidenceOnly Maison et Domotique weighed the price, saying it's aimed at in-ground pools rather than above-ground ones that cost as much again. No other review we use judged value.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
Very clean floors, eventually
Three-hour sessions covered the whole pool for Les Numériques, picking up every leaf and all the sand-and-soil mixes it had laid down. Maison et Domotique saw clearer water and practically no visible dust on the floor after a month. Both noted it navigates at random, and Les Numériques saw incoherent changes of direction and frequent rearing up in reverse, when it stops sucking. It gets there, but it takes the long way round, so give it full cycles.
Steps: the testers disagree
The Liberty 600 stands up on a step and fires a jet to push dirt down to the floor. Les Numériques spread soil and sand on its steps, found only part was removed and recommends brushing first. Maison et Domotique found it tackled steps without hesitation, helped by the jet. It also says deeper steps, with at least 32cm of water, suit it well, which may explain part of the gap, though neither review tested that. If your steps collect sand, don't count on this alone.
The clicker makes retrieval easy
After a cycle, it waits on the pool floor. Shake the supplied clicker in the water for a few seconds and it climbs to the wall, ready to lift out. Les Numériques notes the clicker can also end a session early, and Maison et Domotique went from calling it a gadget to calling it essential. Weight is the drawback: at about 12kg, Maison et Domotique wouldn't recommend it for an above-ground pool, where you have to lift it over a high wall.
Filter works, app lags behind
The two-layer filter, down to 50 microns, held nearly all the debris and sand in Les Numériques's tests, and Maison et Domotique saw it catch cherry leaves as well as fine particles. The inner filter rinses in seconds, though Les Numériques found the pleated panels fiddlier. The app is the weak spot. Les Numériques could never get a correct cleaning history, found no map, and couldn't check status remotely, and Maison et Domotique also wanted mapping.
Waterline and runtime
Les Numériques saw it scrub the waterline hard, but sun-dried grime stayed stuck, and one three-hour session didn't reach every edge. In a non-stop floor-only run it lasted four hours against a claimed four and a half, and Les Numériques puts a full recharge, lying flat, at five to six hours. Maison et Domotique found it quiet and the three-year warranty reassuring. Expect to brush the waterline by hand now and then.
Our take
Should you buy the LIBERTY 600?
Best for: Pools whose owners want a cordless cleaner they can call to the edge. Skip it if: You also need floating leaves collected from the surface.
Buy it for an in-ground family pool where you want dependable floor cleaning, a fine filter and an easy way to call it up, and you don't mind it working without a plan. The camera-guided Aiper Scuba V3 steers towards debris, and the Beatbot Sora 30 floats up by itself after every run.
The Liberty 600 is the biggest and best-equipped of Dolphin's cordless Liberty robots, built for pools up to fifteen metres and rated for up to four and a half hours a run. Shake the supplied clicker in the water and it climbs the wall so you can lift it out. It also has a jet meant to blast dirt off steps, a two-layer filter that lifts out of the top, and an app for programmes. It wanders at random rather than mapping the pool, and it doesn't skim the surface.
Les Numériques found three-hour sessions in its in-ground pool picked up every leaf and all the sand-and-soil mixes it laid down, and Maison et Domotique saw practically no visible dust after a month in an above-ground steel pool. Both found the clicker genuinely useful. They disagree on steps. Maison et Domotique found it tackled them without hesitation, while Les Numériques found the jet shifted only part of the sand and recommends a brush first. Les Numériques also saw sun-dried grime stay stuck on the waterline, incoherent changes of direction, and an app that never gave a correct cleaning history. It weighs about 12kg, and Maison et Domotique wouldn't recommend it for an above-ground pool because of the lift over the wall. Recharging took five to six hours for Les Numériques.

Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Does it climb walls and clean the waterline?
Yes, per the specifications. Maison et Domotique saw it climb to the waterline and clean corners. Les Numériques found it scrubbed the waterline hard but left dried-on dirt, and one session didn't cover every edge.
Is it cordless, and how long does a charge last?
It's cordless. Maytronics claims up to 4.5 hours, per the specifications, and Les Numériques got four hours in a continuous floor-only run. Allow five to six hours to recharge through a plug-in connector; there's no charging stand.
How do I get it out of the water?
Shake the Click-Up clicker in the water and it climbs a wall for pickup, per the specifications. Les Numériques and Maison et Domotique both found this worked. It weighs about 12kg, though, so the lift itself is still work.
Will it work in an above-ground pool?
It can, but Maison et Domotique, testing in an above-ground steel pool, wouldn't recommend it: lifting a wet 12kg robot over a 1.3m wall is hard work. It's much easier to live with in an in-ground pool.
Can it cope with steps?
It has a jet designed to push dirt off them, Les Numériques explains, but results differ. Maison et Domotique found it handled steps well, while Les Numériques saw only part of the soil and sand on its steps removed.
Does it need an app?
No. Buttons on the robot pick the mode. The Maytronics One app adds programmes and an Eco mode that leaves it in the pool for regular cleans, but Les Numériques found its cleaning history unreliable and no way to check status remotely.
Alternatives
Other robotic pool cleaners to compare.
Scuba V3
Why consider it: Its camera steers it towards debris instead of wandering, and three testers praised its pickup.
The compromise: Its runs are shorter, and it sinks again if you miss its 10-minute pickup window.
Sora 30
Why consider it: Les Numériques found tidy floor coverage, and it surfaces and drains itself after a run.
The compromise: The waterline was less convincing, and the standard basket is too coarse for fine dust.
LIBERTY 400
£32 less than the LIBERTY 600
Why consider it: A smaller cordless Dolphin with Click-Up retrieval and app settings.
The compromise: The only owner feedback found was unhappy with both runtime and cleaning.
