Best Maytronics Pool Cleaners: The Company Behind Dolphin

If you are reading about robotic pool cleaners, you have already encountered the Dolphin brand. But who actually makes them? The answer is Maytronics, an Israeli company founded in 1983 on Kibbutz Yizreel. They did not just enter the robotic pool cleaner market; they invented it. Maytronics holds over 200 patents in pool robotics and commands more than 60% of the global market. When you buy a Dolphin, you are buying 40 years of purpose-built engineering.

This page explains the relationship between Maytronics and Dolphin, breaks down their UK product lineup, and helps you navigate the warranty and support structure for UK buyers. If you want specific model reviews, visit our Dolphin pool cleaner guide for detailed testing results.
