Totally unnecessary!
No need for remote. Used it once and it was far more trouble than it is worth. Never mastered control of the cleaner with remote

Waste
Just does work correctly.

Dolphin Premier
Works with the Dolphin Premier. You can drive it around, just know there is about a 1 to 2 second delay between hitting the button and the Dolphin moving. Also, stay close the to power supply and you will not have any issues. You can set it to "quick" clean and it will only clean the bottom, no wall climbing in this mode.

I suppose the manual mode is a good thing but this unit dosen't have the a lot ...
I suppose the manual mode is a good thing but this unit dosen't have the a lot a remote is warranted. I got it as a just in case thing but don't expect it will be used much.

Fast / Slow functions do not appear to work properly......works slow but sluggish to manually manuever around......
I'm including my entire review for the Premier robot as well as the remote that we got with it:We purchased the Dolphin Premier after reading mostly positive reviews and its #1 rating here. We have a busy schedule and don't have the luxury of time to manually go around pool with traditional vacuum to get dirt out every day. We have alot of trees so the pool upkeep is constant. Pool construction is just about done but we've used the cleaner probably around 20 times already as landscaping around the inground pool (plus the constant high winds we've had lately) keep the pool dirty thus requiring the use of the robot. I've only used the big bag and the medium filters so far for cleaning. I think the big bag is mostly for leaf pickup but I've been using it to clean up sunken sticks and leaves, plus some ground that sank to bottom. And for some reason, whenever it rains worms just love to crawl in there and sink. The robot gets all this stuff very nicely. Cleaning the bag is a pain though. No easy way. I don't have time to wash it in machine after every use. So I let the bag in unit for maybe 5 runs, then unhook it and rinse it off with hose to get junk out. The bag can hold ALOT more debris (obviously) than the pleated filters. I find myself washing them with hose after almost every time which is the reason I stop using them for the time being. I was always also getting the "clogged" light with those cuz the pool has been dirty as mentioned above. I think those are mainly for a pretty clean pool. Until the pool is done being landscaped, I'll stick with the big bag made of canvas. Now my beefs:1. Instructions are terrible (VERY VERY vague on the operation of the robot).2. The push/pull knobs on the handle have NO MENTION whatsoever for the tricks needed to make it climb the walls bettter (had to resort to a guy on youtube to find out whatever these even did)3. Doesn't climb the walls (could be cuz of some dirt but our water chemistry is good so don't know). Have to assume its because the floats on handle are not set properly. The brushes are new so it cannot be those as mentioned in the manual.4. The unit only seems to run a process for about an hour and this cannot be adjusted to my knowledge for say 2 or 3 hours at a time. The buttons on power pack are only for how many times a week but who actually uses the robot like that? I pull mine out after every run or two to wash it out after disconnecting the power which resets everything anyways.5. We also bought the remote which is pretty useless. No instructions except a few words on basics. The manual movement works but is very painfully slow to move the robot around. As for the quick cycle which will tell the robot to NOT try and move up the walls, DOES NOT WORK. Tried everything and cannot get those two functions on the remote to change anything. Still runs an hours and always TRIES to go up the walls but cannot.6. Lastly we have a steel liner pool which has the hopper design. The robot constantly gets stuck straddling those hopper lines where is doesn't have a flat surface to run on. It will try to climb up when it knows it can't. It will be stuck there trying for maybe a few minutes before giving up and backing by down.

Not worth it.
Remote just doesn't work well. I finally just get frustrated with it and pull the thing around by the cord. Spend your money on the Caddy instead.

Garbage
We got it. We worked on it. It did not work. We tried again. It’s either defective or a piece of garbage.

Connects easily with the power supply.
Used with the Dolphin Premier. Works as advertised. However the range is lacking, you need to stay within about 10' of the power supply for best results.
