Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool [Vacuum] Cleaner with Wi-Fi – Pool Cleaning from Anywhere, Anytime - Ideal for In-Ground Swimming Pools up to 50 Feet – Easy to Clean Top Load Filters

Product Information

Pricier models, meanwhile, may boast numerous special features and “be better suited for larger or more challenging pool configurations, and typically come with longer warranty periods,” he says.

Assembly took longer than expected because the included instructions were vague. We did separate research to resolve the confusion. The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is equipped with smart navigation technology, so it scans your pool to strategize the most efficient cleaning path. It also swivels to keep its cable from tangling during cleaning. When cleaning is done, pull out the cleaner, open the top, remove the top load filter panel, and rinse clean! If you’re going for the Dolphin, there are some safety precautions that you should consider. Here’s a brief list. Many people want to know the difference between the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus and the Dolphin Premier, which is the priciest model of Dolphin’s robotic pool cleaners. One difference is that the Premier is significantly heavier than the Nautilus—15 pounds heavier. The Premier also comes with a three-year warranty, while the Nautilus comes with a two-year warranty. It's worth noting that the VRX iQ+ is more expensive than other options, and it may not be ideal for every pool. Although it was effective, we felt that it was ideal for larger pools that may require professional cleaning.The main point of interest for the Dolphin Explorer E30 is its high suction rate and energy efficiency. Users had a lot to like about the Dolphin. They were impressed by the full automation of the device. On top of that, they loved the Dolphin’s ability to climb walls easily and sweep them clean. You’d think it needs wheels for that, but it actually relies fully on the rear brushes.

CleverClean technology works as follows; the sensors scan the length of the pool to detect a course to follow. The path is then lined, and that’s the device’s cue to start cleaning. Once it’s done, it shuts off automatically and waits for you to lift it out of the pool. Filtration ProcessThe pool cleaner is 14 pounds, so it’s fairly lightweight in comparison to other models. Although we found it easy to use, we would have preferred a built-in handle to help get the cleaner in and out of the pool. Automatic pool cleaners (or pool vacuums) remove debris from the surface of the pool floor and walls. While some cleaners are powered by your pool's suction or water pressure, newer robotic cleaners have their own power source and container to avoid straining your pool's existing equipment. Some non-robotic cleaners have their own containers, while others use your pool's existing filtration equipment to house debris. When it comes to this pool cleaner, we noted that the controller had additional buttons and functions that were not applicable to this specific model, like Bluetooth capabilities. Overall, however, we would recommend the cleaner.

For the best results, our team recommends that you initially use the leaf filter when you first open the pool for summer or anytime after big storms that blow a lot of leaves or large debris into the pool. For everyday in-season pool cleaning, we recommend that you use the ultra-fine filter with your Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. Can The Power Supply Dive Into The Water? If you’re in a hurry or have somewhere to be, skim through the Dolphin’s specifications and decide for yourself if it’s worth it. I’ll also give you a sneak peek into its pros and cons. When we tested the Zodiac MX6 In-Ground Suction Side Pool Cleaner, we were impressed with how it was able to clean algae and sediment. We also liked that it was lightweight and had an integrated handle, so it was easy to get into the pool. However, we would have preferred the unit to have a memory feature as it left some areas clean and other areas dirty. No, it can’t. The power supply unit isn’t waterproof. Therefore, it’ll get damaged if you put it into the pool with the device. That’s also why you shouldn’t leave it out in rainy weather. Does The Dolphin Nautilus Come With A Cover? The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus plugs into regular household outlets of 120 volts. We don’t recommend that you use an extension cord when you plug it in. It may mess with the device and cause the cord to overheat. How Do You Empty The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus?This article was updated by Emma Phelps, an associate commerce editor for The Spruce, to include our initial and long-term insights from recent rounds of testing top-rated pool cleaners in real-world scenarios. We considered factors such as their setup, ease of use, versatility, and overall cost, aiming to select top-rated products at a wide range of price points to cater to different shoppers.We tested the pool cleaners in our own pools for several weeks and recorded positive and negative experiences with each model. We had a professional pool company install this cleaner, and it took them just a few minutes. We felt the installation was straightforward, however, and it would have been easy to do ourselves. Once it was installed, we used the cleaner three times in our pool, which is surrounded by trees and bushes. The final decision, of course, rests with you. For all that it doesn’t have, this particular model makes up for it with sheer cleaning power and an uncomplicated approach to pool cleaning. Dolphin cleaners provide reliable filtration in all pool conditions and have an exclusive, dual-level filtration system which ensures a dust and debris free pool. Advanced technologies deliver precise scanning and total cleaning efficiency in minimal time and without intervention. They allow for convenient maintenance with patented top-opening filtration compartments for easy emptying and cleaning. The gyroscopic navigation system inside maintains stable navigation and ensure maximum cleaning efficiency. Although it would take at least half a day to clean a 50 ft. manually, the Dolphin Explorer E30 professes to be able to do it in around 2 hours.

We enjoyed using this robot’s corresponding app to keep up with its cleaning progress and see its location in the pool. We also tried this robot’s pre-programmed standard and enhanced cleaning times and noted that the cleaner was able to get a pool about 95 and 99 percent clean, respectively. For the remaining debris, we used the remote steering to direct the robot to the small spots it missed throughout the pool. Honestly, with any of these, you can make them last as long as you want, but at some point, it will make sense to get a new one," Wells says. However, the app does let you turn it on from anywhere once it is set up. It also lets you add a shortcut to Siri that is "Hey Siri, turn my robot on", which is a feature my kids loved. Warranty Additionally, robotic pool cleaners tend to be energy-efficient (making them more cost-effective in the long term) and convenient, since you can often control them remotely and schedule their cleaning times. And of course, there’s their effectiveness: “Robotic pool cleaners are designed to thoroughly clean the bottom and walls of your pool, as well as remove debris and contaminants that might be missed by other types of cleaners,” says Whitman. “Overall,” he adds, “if you value your time and want to enjoy a clean and clear pool without spending a lot of effort, a robotic pool cleaner can be worth the investment.” Energy-efficient motors that can “save on electricity costs and reduce environmental impact,” says Whitman.

In my case, our pools floors and walls are made up of both polymer and granite, and the explorer e30 had no problems transitioning between the two. 2 hours of cleaning cycle time Advanced navigation technology such as sensors or mapping, which can “help the cleaner navigate the pool more efficiently and ensure complete coverage,” says Whitman.
