Dolphin Nautilus CC Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Wall Climbing Scrubber Brush, Top Load Filter Access, Ideal for Above/In-Ground Pools up to 33 FT in Length

The Dolphin Nautilus CC has been a great investment for keeping the pool clean. It was simple to set up—just plug it in, place it in the pool, and let it do the work. It does an excellent job picking up dirt, leaves, and other debris while scrubbing the pool walls, which saves a lot of time compared to manual cleaning. The top-load filter is easy to remove and rinse out after each use, making maintenance quick and hassle-free. It climbs the walls well and leaves the pool looking much cleaner after every cycle. If you have an above-ground or in-ground pool up to 33 feet, this robotic cleaner is a huge time-saver. It's reliable, easy to use, and well worth the investment for anyone who wants to spend more time enjoying their pool instead of cleaning it.

We have owned our pool for 15 years and used many pool vacuums. Cordless units were the worst, as they didn’t have enough power to clean well. Also I like to run our pool vacuum when I shock the pool for several hours, to evenly distribute the mix and prevent burning of the pool finish. Cordless units don’t have enough battery life for that. We have tried most all pool vacuums (booster pump powered, battery and corded) and most manufacturers; however this Dolphin Nautilus works AMAZING and has our pool looking news again. The filters are great and are high capacity (fall day clean ups) and its simple to operate. Would highly recommend this unit to others.

Updates below: 2 year pool owner and weekly cleaning is work as we have a big oak hanging over from our neighbors yard and we do not have a screen. I'd spend at least an hour weekly to manually pick up the debris that drops to the bottom. We tried the kreepy krawler but after 11 months, the hose went bad and was going to cost $60 to replace. Even the kreepy krawler was work getting that in the pool and hooked up to the skimmer. Finally decided to bite the bullet and so happy we did. I've literally only used our Dolphin once but it did exactly everything we hoped for. I had the box opened and robot in the pool in about 15 minutes. It picked up every single leaf and acorn that was sitting on the floor. It goes right over our bottom pool drain with no issue. It climbed my wall to the water line and scrubbed it very good. I even found it working on my little built in bench in the pool. It automatically stopped after the 2 hour cycle and was super wasy to remove, drain the water and hose down the basket. The basket also picked up white silt like a champ. I added a few photos of the unboxing and of the basket when i removed it to hose down. I didnt need all the bells and whistles of the big boy as I will be taking it out of the pool after each use. My pool is only about 25 feet across so the power line on this is also perfect. I see it up in the middle and it has more than enough line to run free. I will update this review in the future with updates as I typically do. Update: one month later. I use it 1-2 times per week. It cleans better than I could have expected and climbs to the water line better to clean better than advertised. The cord tangled one time on the track and the vacuum stopped until I fixed it. That was good to know. It does concern me a bit that the cord tangled that one time and each time it seems to wrinkle up on me. Almost as if the vacuum turns more in one direction. The basket can be a pain to clean. I get wet everytime I hose it down. On the flip side, the basket picks up sand and silt in addition to every big particle. I need to find a fix for the cable. I think some have suggested a pool noodle. Aside from the cable and cleaning the basket, I love all about this guy. He definitely lives up to his reputation. I am not missing any extra features that come with the more advanced vacuum. Almost 3 year update: Still loving almost everything about this. I keep it in the pool almost all day, everyday during the summer as our neighbors have trees that drop leaves and debris in my pool. I know most dont recommend it but I do it anyway knowing that I'll take some time off of the life. It's a pain removing, hosing down and wrapping the cable up every single day, especially for someone on the go so I choose to leave it in May through probably November and remove it occasionally to clean, when we swim and a few others reasons. The cable tangles frequently and I am about to replace it. That is my fault. For the first 2 years, when it wrinkled, I would lay it out in the hot sun and it work relax it. After almost 3 years, it doesnt relax for long. As soon as I put it back in, it tangles quickly. In addition, the part of the cable that stays in the chlorine is starting to deteriorate a bit and some blue flakes come off. Normal in chlorine. I am buying a new one for around $150 and replacing. It fairly easy. A couple of months ago, I had to replace the tracks for the first time due to wear and tear. I've also replaced the black brushes on the bottom. Very inexpensive and easy to replace as well. This month, I thought my gear or power was messed up. Turned out one of the rear wheels messed up and I replaced it. I almost paid over $100 to diagnose but I decided to play around and saw it was just a wheel that the teeth werent caching the gear so it stopped moving. Super easy $15 fix. Just need a small flathead and a regular philips. I've come to learn a lot about this little guy and have gotten comfortable taking it apart a bit. It's like a car. You have to maintain the parts from time to time. Dont think you will pay for this once and it will work until it dies with no maintenance. You have to maintain it and it will treat you well for many years until it eventually dies. Get familiar with it, watch Youtube videos on how to replace commonly worn parts and it will be good to you.

I am partial to Dolphin products. Why? I had a DX3 I bought in 2013 and it lasted nearly 14 years! The thing was a beast and cleaned the floors, climbed the walls, and even scrubbed the waterline in our 27' above ground pool. Then I did lots of research and landed on this model - The Nautilus CC. The Dolphin website and their 'Help me choose a robot' finder even suggested the Nautilus CC. Upon opening the box, the top blue portion of the robot was discolored. After about a week of light use, a burn/heat mark appeared just above the Dolphin logo on the front of the unit. Then, instead of going through the 2-Hour Cycle, it would shut off after less than an hour. After the second week of use and troubleshooting, I found a spring at the bottom of our pool and the until would run longer than 15 minutes. Then, the power supply just stopped working. I called Maytronics to go through their warranty and what a hassle. They were nice enough and offered to replace the unit. Not with the same one, because they stated that the Nautilus CC was no longer available (even though it's available on their website). They wanted to replace it with a cheaper model (about $40-$50 cheaper) and did not offer anything back in return. I questioned them refunding the difference, but they would not, claiming it had a longer warranty. The same model they offered is available, so I am returning this and will buy the other model and save myself the money. I'm just into giving my money away. It's just not right - especially in today's economy. Buyer beware on this model.

I purchased my first Dolphin CC in August 2021. What I loved about this robot was its simplicty to set up and use. I used the robot for typical cleaning anywhere from once a week (during winter months when we do not use the pool much) to daily during high-residue seasons like spring and summer when I have an abundance of leaves and debris dropping into the pool. I also have a pool service once a week that helps contribute to the overall pool care. The Dolphin has been exceedingly effective in picking up debris with its suction, climing walls of my pool, and operating as needed for the curves, stairs, and debris level of my pool, consistently leaving the pool picture perfect without ever disturbing us if we were in the pool or enjoying the backyard space (it is hardly noticable in terms of noise). The only issue I had was after 18 months or so, the cable was kinked up, which did not seem to affect it's function), and the filter basket had to be forcibly yanked out causing the bottom section to dislodge. This just meant I had a little more of a mess to clean up from the debris collected during the cleaning. Fast forward to today, just 2 months shy of 4 years of ownership, and the Dolphin CC continues to work (turn on, pick up debris) but it does not move anywhere beyond a 2 square foot space. I'm disappointed in the robot not fulfilling the 5-7 year life-span advertised. My son (who is more mechanical and robot savvy) tried to investigate a cause and solution. He watched a handful of YouTube videos and deteremed that it is a software issue within the robot. The fact that it turns on and starts to function as it always did is what causes me some confusion. I did not store the power source inside but did my best to avoid water / rain contact. In the futurre I may do a better job of storing the power source and machine itself in a storage unit, but part of what I loved about this was the ease in having it outside and ready to go. I have read enough reviews to see this may be typical of the robot to have a shortened life-span and it is also soemthing that could possibly be repaired, but at what cost? Is it better to just reinvest in a new robot? I still give this a sold 4 stars for its functionality. The value itself is also 4, maybe 3.5 stars because I did expect to get at least another year out of my pool robot before having to re-invest. I won't be buying the CC Plus after reading the onslaught of negative reviews and will stick with the Dolphin CC.

The Dolphin was delivered today (ahead of schedule), and after reading the Quick Start directions, I put it to work immediately. There's almost nothing to it. Connect the waterproof cord to the console, drop the unit into the water, plug the console cord into the wall socket, press the power button. We have a rectangular fiberglass pool with salt water. It has a large sitting platform which is about 2 feet deep. The platform then drops off into the deeper (lap swimming) end of the pool. The pool is 6 feet at the deepest end. I dropped the Dolphin into the deep end then hit the start button. This unit is advertised. It was definitely vacuuming up the debris. It picks up the pebbles, and it actually crawls up the pool wall to the point where at least a third of it breaches the surface, then drops back in. However, I have seen it crawl up the 4 foot wall of the platform, at which time it cleans the platform (briefly), until it blindly rolls off the platform edge, descending into the deeper water. After two hours, the bottom was probably 98% clean. There were a couple of 90 degree corners that it just couldn't quite pick up, so I'm currently running it for another hour. Perhaps I will stir up those two corners next time to give it an assist. Lastly, our pool has two steps to the deeper water. The unit appears unable to crawl up the stairs. Five starts because it is convenient, simple, and effective. Update: In order to get the last 2-3% of dirt left over in the corners and at the base of the walls, we first brush the debris toward the middle of the pool floor. Then, we run this unit for an hour and the pool looks great! ~ We use this unit about once per week and always after the lawn is mowed. ~ I set it on a small 2x4 block to keep pressure off of the brush up front. I also sometimes set it on it's side when it's not in use. Nothing to warp when it's on its side. ~ We gently spray out the debris bucket with the garden hose. The filters on the side seem delicate/fine (which I'm guessing is why the fine dirt doesn't appear to pass through the system). ~ In order to retrieve it you use the power cord to pull it in. It's very light when it's in the water, but when it gets within reach, grab the unit itself. This prevents undue stress on the power cord when it's full of water. Bottom line: This thing doesn't care how blazing hot or ice cold it is outside or how long its work shift is, it gets the job done so you don't have to. Update (1 year later): The Dolphin still does its thing. When not in use we keep the unit in a pool locker in the back yard, except for the console. We keep the console inside the house to keep the electronics better protected. Prior to using the Dolphin, we brush the base of the walls. This makes it easier for the Dolphin to get this more easily. Sometimes I push the button for a second cycle, but it usually does a fantastic job with a single cycle. I've left it in our salt water pool for a couple of nights in a row before. It doesn't seem to mind and it doesn't let go of the debris during that time. I use it year round, usually at least once per week in the warm months, perhaps a little less in the winter. 1 year later, it still does the job very well. I'd never go back to doing this myself. The pool needs enough attention as it is (water testing, water level, filter cleanings, etc.). I do wish that it had a remote control option, something that I could hold so that I could direct it to "mow" the platform clean before plunging back into the deep water. Great purchase! I'd give it 5 stars again. Update (Beginning of 3rd year of use) Nothing has changed from above. I still store the dolphin (upright of the tracks) in the locker outside year round, the console is still stored inside the house. Prior to use I still sweep the base of the walls. This makes it easier for the unit to get the dirt and debris. The pool is clean in about 90 minutes, though I usually run it longer for an extra clean pool. I guess it takes about 10 minutes or so to sweep then set up, but it would take the same time to set up the manual system too. Same with break down, 10 mins or so either way. But of course with the Dolphin I'm off doing something else while it's doing its thing. No parts have deteriorated since it was brand new even in a salt water pool. It's as good as new still. I see newer Dolphin units with a built in swivel in the cord. After many hours in my pool the cord does develop the beginning of a kink (twist) in the cord but the cord is so long that this has never come close to hindering its effectiveness. After use, I lay out the cord along the lawn then roll it back up losing the minor twist for next use. I also see units with optional remote controls. For the large platform in my pool I simply manually (mow) it clean, that is I run it one length, turn it off, set it into position for the next run Turn it on, etc. Yes, I'm in ankle deep water with it as it's running but the platform gets clean in short order. I think a remote control for this short work would take longer. I need it to make several U-turns on the platform, slightly overlapping the previous run. I think using a remote would take much longer. Aside from that we're rarely in the water with the unit. Excellent pool accessory! Simple and convenient. Glad we made the purchase. It certainly is better than cleaning the bottom when it's 100 degrees or freezing outside.

I have been trying to convince myself that the expense of a robotic pool cleaner was worth it. After my 3rd year of being a pool owner and lugging out the manual vacuum, pole, hose, submerging the hose, fussing with the pump I finally broke down and bought this one. OMG I love it. You drop it in the pool, turn it on and it runs and picks up everything on the bottom of the pool. Our deep end is 8' and it will be all the way at the bottom and crawl all the way to the water line. It is pretty amazing. I can sit and watch it work for hours (ok thats an exaggeration but still) as it is very interesting how it creeps around the pool in what seems like a haphazard formation but in about 2 hours there is not a single leaf or speck of dirt anywhere on the pool. The control box sits easily under a bush and you can set it to run automatically daily, every other day or every 3 days. The filter container is amazing at filtering out the smallest of sand particles. Im amazed every time I pull it up to clean it out that there is so much sand in the basket. We have recently put the solar cover on the pool for our "cold Florida winter" and I was curious how it would work with the cover and crawling up to the water line but it has not had any problem. I do not have any issues with the Dolphin at all. I have to say it was money very well spent thus far. I have not had to lug out the old vacuum since I bought it. Update as nearing our 2nd year with the Dolphin: It still runs and cleans great. No issues at all. its starting to get a little discolored and scratched up but its 2 years old and spend nearly 100% of its life in a chlorinated pool so I would expect it to fade out. Only issue is that one of the rubber treads keeps coming off. I think it has stretched out a little and somehow it comes off. I don't understand how since i have to really tug on it to get it back on so not sure how it just pops off. It doesn't happen all the time so its not a huge deal and i can put it back on. It continues to run and work just as good with just 1 track, it may not climb as far up the wall but it still works. Still well worth the money to not have had to spend saturday mornings out in the sun manually vacuuming up the pool.

So I bought this cleaner after my first one broke down after 6 years or so. I bought this model in February of 2023 and it works great. Very efficient, but as others have stated the cord does get twisted up. That being said, fast forward till now, and it's already breaking down on me. I made it a point to be gentle pulling it in from the pool and placing it back into the pool, rinsing it off after every use, and letting the cords relax after untangling them. However, I am disappointed after spending a good dime on this and now it's starting to break down. From what I can tell the main issue is where the cord plugs into the cleaner itself. At least for me anyhow. It is beginning to crack around the cord near the base where it is seated into the machine. So, after roughly a little more than 2 1/2 years...it's a fairly expensive piece of equipment down the tubes unfortunately. -Update 10/27/25 - So I replaced the cord not long after leaving the original review. I found a local verified Maytronics pool vendor near where I live. After replacing the cord, it worked again for a couple more months. However, now it does not move at all. It will just run a 2 hour cycle just pushing water around above it, but no longer will move about the pool as it should. I've inspected it inside and out for any apparent damage or parts that may be causing it to fail, but none can be observed. Not sure if it's something internal with the motor, but again, this is where I am at with this unfortunately.

Nachdem ein kleiner batteriebetriebener Roboter ohne Walze nur 1 Jahr gehalten hat, habe ich mich doch zum Kauf des Dolphin mit Kabelversorgung durchgerungen. Jetzt ist er seit fast 2 Monaten im Einsatz und ich kann nur sagen, hätte ich ihn doch gleich gekauft! So einen sauberen Pool ohne Mühe, wunderbar. Er klettert die Wände zwar nur teilweise hoch bis zur Wasserlinie, das liegt aber an der 8-Form des Pools. Auch beim Herausholen verliert er 0 Rückstände, wo bei dem Kleinen ein Teil des Schmutzes gleich wieder im Wasser gelandet ist. Für mich war das einfache Modell ohne App völlig ausreichend und ich empfehle ihn guten Gewissens weiter.

Utilissimo, fa il suo lavoro

The cleaning performance is excellent: it picks up fine debris, leaves, and dirt with no effort on my part, and the pool floor looks spotless every time. What impressed me most is how efficiently it navigates the pool. It doesn’t get stuck, it climbs walls with confidence, and the filtration basket is simple to remove and clean. The build quality feels solid and reliable, and the unit runs quietly compared to other cleaners I’ve owned. This robotic cleaner has saved me hours of manual work and keeps the pool consistently swim‑ready. If you’re looking for a dependable, hassle‑free automatic pool cleaner, the Dolphin Nautilus CC is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.
