Dolphin Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Wall Climbing Scrubber Brush, Smart Navigation, Ideal for In-Ground Pools up to 40FT in Length - Nautilus CC Plus

I ordered the pool cleaner and it arrived less than a week from the order date which was ahead of schedule. I waited about 30 days before I decided to write a review. I have owned several other pool cleaners that were less expensive models from other manufacturers and this one is by far the best. It works exactly as advertised. I have a 16‘ x 32‘ irregular shaped saltwater inground pool, I simply drop it in the pool, set it for a two hour cleaning cycle, and let it do its job. This dolphin does climb the walls and has yet to get stuck anywhere in my pool while the other cleaners that I owned couldn’t make it over my main drain. My pool is always clean after one cycle. I always let the robot sit in the pool for about 10 minutes after it stops to cool down, then I remove it and clean it as well as the filters immediately. I love how easily the filters come out of the unit and can be taken apart and cleaned. I have learned from other pool cleaners that you never let these sit in saltwater or chlorine all day long as it will degrade the parts and the motor. My dolphin is stored in a box in the yard that is watertight and I store the controller inside my home to keep it dry at all times. I would highly recommend this pool cleaner to anyone that is looking to not pay a pool company to come weekly. I will write another review at the end of August once I’ve had this for three months. Ok this is my second check in 1 year later. I have to say that this is the best pool cleaner that I have ever owned and I highly recommend it for everyone. I will check in one last time at the end of the summer which is after my second season of using this robot. My third review on 8/14/2021 over 2 years from when I purchased it. The Robot is in perfect condition still. It looks just about the same as the day it arrived and still cleans my pool as advertised. I'm extremely pleased with this Dolphin pool cleaner and when this one finally does die. I will surely buy another similar type robot from them. 3rd review almost 3 years later. The robot is still working perfectly. The transformer blew out, I called Maytronics and about six weeks later they sent me a new one. I’m sure the delay was supply chain related. It was still under warranty. 4th review. I just turned on the pool robot after storing it for the winter. It’s now 2023 so this is my fourth season with it. So far so good.

18x36 inground pool I received my Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner a few days ago and finally got time to set it up and test it out. First off let me say that I've had a couple "automatic" pool vacuums in the past and hated them both. All they would do is get stuck in a corner and I'd end up cleaning the pool myself. But, with my wife's insistence and having read many reviews here I decided to give it a go. Starting with packing, no complaints here, it was well package and had no shipping damage and unboxing was easy. Setup and instructions: no complaints here either. Setup was a snap, plug the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner into the control box, plug the control box into the outlet and put the Robot into the pool. Whoops, missed a step, uncoil and untangle the long cord which is also easy. Ok, so now that it's in the pool it's time to turn it on. I press the power button and rush over to the pool with full expectations of being disappointed. The Robot moved forward about 3 feet and stopped! Here we go I thought, another so called robot device I've wasted my money on. But then it started moving again so I calmed myself down and decided to be patient and watch. I drove across the bottom of the deep end and started going op the slanted side but slipped back down. Then it backed up and tried again, this time it went up the slanted side to the straight up wall where is failed to climb and slid back down. "SIGH", On the third attempt it climbed all the way up and poked it's front out of the water, all the while the scrubber wheels were spinning and scrubbing. I watched it for at least 20 minutes and it went back and forth at different angles until it finally found the long ramp up to the shallow end where it climbed up and down more walls before heading back to the deep end. WOW, I'm impressed, but I wanted to reserve my final opinion until after it had a chance to clean the pool, so I gave it an hour and went back to check. WOW, my pool is clean! Except for the very corners where it can't quite get to but that's not a problem. After all it hasn't yet finished it's first cycle of cleaning. I'm impressed, I'm no longer a "pool robot skeptic" I'm now a "pool robot believer" Yes this is only the first cleaning cycle, yes it's the only experience I have with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner but I'm still going to give it 5 stars. if anything notable changes I will update this review. Yes I would recommend the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner EDIT: 1 month Update: Just wanted to update on how the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner has been working so far. This morning was the first time I hade to vacuum the pool manually. There were 2 corners, 1 edge of the ramp to the dee[ end and the stairs that the robot missed.....that's it. All told I spent 10 minutes cleaning up where the robot missed and my pool is spotless! This is awesome and not a complaint! How I use it: As per the instructions, I turn it on and set it to 1 which is the 7-day operation. But, I only run it on Monday through Saturday, then I pull it out of the pool until the next Monday and start the process over. So far this works great and I only have to clean the robots filter once a week and it gets a day to dry out and rest, lol! Cons, I guess, but not really: I've had to untangle the cable once, It doesn't climb stairs and I still have to manually vacuum for about 10 minutes. Some will find it heavy when lift it out of the water but you don't need to do that every day. Pros, IT CLEANS THE POOL!!! The filter is great and cleans up in minutes. My only concern is that is becomes self aware, climbs out of the pool and attacks, LoL! I still highly recommend the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner!

This product took me the longest time to read people’s reviews and compare a lot of different products. Overall, it is a great product and I really want to buy it earlier. The product basically reduce 95% of the manual work of cleaning my pool. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: 1. It has 2 ultra fine filters come with the box. Note that 2 fine filters are in the machine, so you can replace them by yourself. 2. The machine work in two directions , and it has TWO filters. At first, I thought it only has one filter, so another filter was not cleaned for 1 month until I found it. 3. The ultra fine filter can clean almost everything. My pool bottom has a lot of small sands, and the ultra fine filter can pick up almost all of them. My neighbor recently was building a new fence. And my pool bottom is full of small wood, just like dirt in your home, and if you brush it the wood dust will just disappear in the water. Even that small dust can be picked up by the ultra fine filter. So I am really happy about that. Note that if you are using fine filter, then it can probably pick up 50% of that kind of small dust. 4. It can climb the walls. My poll is like a bowl, so I do need a robot that can climb the wall. See my picture. Since it can climb the wall, it may go to stairs through the wall and clean your stairs if your stair is wide enough. 5. If it get stuck, it can release itself. The robot often get stuck on my pool stairs. When it can’t move for about 30s, it will make itself float and move to another place. Cons: 1. The routing is pure random. My pool is not that big but it often miss some places. Especially the corners and the deepest part of my pool. I think it may work better for a flat pool. See my picture. So sometimes I need to run another cycle. 2. Actually it can’t clean the water line efficiently. The robot can climb the wall and go above the water line. But it can’t suck the dirt into the filter, it just brush the dirt into water surface. 3. Some sands always remain in the machine, you need to pour water into the machine to clean it. I actually don’t know how sands go to the inner part of the machine. 4. Can’t remove some strong algae. I think it’s suction power is not enough to remove some algae that are alive for a while. So have to brush them. So be careful if you want to use it to mainly remove algae. Overall, I recommend this product to everyone who is suffering from cleaning pool using pump and hose.

I previously had the Nautilus CC (not plus). It stopped working after about 3 years and I was so fed up with the tangling of the cord that I upgraded to the Nautilus CC Plus. I am very happy with this upgraded version (with the exception of it getting stuck on the steps). Pros: * Cleans a lot more areas such as the waterline and steps * The cord doesn't get tangled (so far) * Can run daily without intervention * No vacuum hose Cons: * It does consistently get stuck on the steps * It is heavier than its predecessor * The baskets are annoying to clean out (but also can be a plus see notes below) I do love the Nautilus CC Plus vacuum and I think it is well worth the investment. Since we upgraded to the "Plus" version our tiles have remained clean with little effort on our part. My husband said he could tell a big difference when brushing the pool, the steps have little dirt compared to previously. The cord! I can't say enough about the cord. The previous version did not have a swivel cord and after a year of use, it was similar to the old telephone cords that would get so tangled you had to try to dangle the phone to let it spin to untangle. Unfortunately, you can't dangle the cleaner to do the same, so no matter how much I tried the cord would just tangle back up in a day. With the "Plus" version it comes with a swivel cord and while you may see large circles of the cord in the pool it does not get tangled and can do its job. This earns major points in my book. My con's are not enough for me not to recommend this pool vacuum. The biggest issue is that it does get stuck on my steps about 80% of the time. It just manages to get at an angle that the brushes/wheels just spin and can't grab anything to make it move. Usually, it is so close to the surface that when it is stuck it is very noticeable because the water shooting from the top (which is designed to push it against the floor and walls) is like a waterfall sound. Due to it getting stuck often, I run it during the morning before I go to work so I can listen to it and redirect it when it happens. I mentioned the baskets were annoying to clean. This is compared to the previous version and it is a + and -. There are two thin baskets to clean. You have to take a part the basket in order to remove the debris which if that is all you want to do is a little annoying. However, if you want to fully clean the basket, hose it down, etc. the fact that it comes apart makes it much easier to run under a hose and remove all the debris. It may be heavier than the previous version but that may be why it works so much better. The fact that it climbs up the wall and rides the waterline, cleans the steps (even if it gets stuck), and has a swivel cord so it doesn't get tangled makes it a great product. I do wish I would have purchased the version that can be controlled by the app but at the time of purchase, it was $100 more. At the time I'm writing this review the app version is the same price I paid so I missed out on that. Next upgrade I will include the version controlled by the app for added ease of use.

This cleaner works great right out of the box and is a breeze to get going. It cleans our pool well, although I often kick it off for a second run before taking it out of the pool. It does climb walls with ease and scrubs the waterline pretty well. It is not marketed to be a waterline cleaner as far as I have seen, but it does do it randomly. I was not happy with the filters that came with the robot, they work for large debris but for small like dirt and sand it would just mix it around the pool. I purchased the ultra fine filters which make a huge difference and work exceptionally well on all debris. The cable does tangle, but only if you leave it in the pool for long periods of time and run it often without taking it out. If you just run it a couple times and then take it out, it usually doesn't get tangled up. I strongly suggest not leaving these robots in the pool for long periods of time though even though it does have the scheduling functionality. Overall, this is a great buy for a robot cleaner and does a very good job at cleaning. If you want the longer version of my experience with it read on. I purchased this cleaner in late 2018 and was able to get about 3.5 years use out of it. The first couple of years I was more careful about not leaving it in the pool for more than a day at a time of cleaning then take it out for a few days or until the pool needed cleaned again. But as laziness kicked in and it started spending more and more nights in the pool which led to weeks at a time. After about 3.5 years, it started exhibiting problems picking up all the debris. After a few weeks of turning it on everyday to pick up what it missed the previous run, it finally just died. The lights on the control panel would flash 4 times and then stay on, but the robot wouldn't move or show any signs of life. I contacted Asurion about the extended warranty and was told to take it to a local pool store for diagnosis. The local store said it needed a new motor, power supply and cable, and that these parts are not available from the manufacturer. So after letting Asurion know about this, they just needed documentation from the pool store stating what the problem was and why they could not fix it. After I provided this info, they mailed me a check for the original purchase price of the robot! After much research this year (2022), I have decided to repurchase the same robot only with the wifi feature and extended warranty. It consistently shows up as a top pick for robotic cleaners everywhere I look. Comparable models cost much more than this and the added features for the extra cost just isn't enough to justify. The wifi version of this at this time is only $30 more so I jumped on it instead of the non-wifi version. With my past experience I believe it will last longer than the previous one as long as I don't get lazy and leave it in the pool for long periods of time again, but regardless I have the extended warranty to cover it if it does break within the first 5 years which I highly recommend. If you made it this far, congratulations! I hope this review helps.

I bought the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus (without Wi-Fi) to replace my SharkVac XL that (fortunately) got taken out by a lightning strike. I have only owned two pool vacs and I will compare this one to my old one for those of you looking to replace a SharkVac XL. My pool is gunite with a StoneScapes pebble finish. It has a spa built in as well. I am putting this out there for those of you with a similar pool will have some idea as to how this vac will perform in your pool. This vac has worked far better than my old SharkVac. It picks up fine soils and leaves with ease. The Shark was good at cleaning soils but so-so at picking up leaves. The Shark would get high centered on the return covers on the bottom of the pool every time I used it. I have the raised safety return covers. The Dolphin hasn't been stuck on the covers ever. The filter covers are very ease to open to remove the filters, unlike the Shark that I had to fight to open every time. There are some reviews that state that this vac is heavy, but it is lighter than my Shark, so no complaints from me about the weight. The filter cartridges are very easy to remove, disassemble and clean. Unlike the Shark. The Shark had hinged doors on the bottom that were supposed to prevent back flow and would constantly get stuff jammed in them and would get stuck open causing debris to flow back out when I pulled it out of the pool. The Dolphin uses a thick cloth backflow preventer that works much better. This vac and my old vac are too big to be useful in cleaning the spa, so I had to buy a small pole mount vac for that. I bought the POOL BLASTER Catfish Ultra Rechargeable for the spa. (Works great) The Dolphin is a few hundred bucks cheaper than the Shark. The Dolphin is an even better deal now. It is a hundred bucks cheaper than when I bought mine. Overall this vac is far superior to the old vac and I would buy it again if I needed another one. UPDATE 17 Dec 2024, The Dolphin is still working great after a year and a half. The power supply failed a few months ago. I called Dolphin customer service and after a brief chat they agreed to send a new power supply out under warranty. I got it a week later and everything has been working fine since. Kudos to Dolphin CS for taking care of the issue right away. UPDATE 16 Aug 25 The power supply has failed again. Smoke came out of it this time. I contacted Dolphin, got a response for more info, then no further contact from them even after I sent two more e-mails. I bought the Asurion protection plan and they paid right away. I am changing my review and stars. The power supplies are garbage. I see many others have the same issue. This is a great pool cleaner, but it's worthless without a power supply. The power supply is the weak link in this system. It wouldn't be so bad if the power supply wasn't so expensive to replace. Almost $300 for a good power supply is too much for what this thing is supposed to do. That price for a crappy power supply is ridiculous. If you buy one of these pool cleaners, I highly recommend purchasing the protection plan. You will need it.

First, I LOVE this pool robot and I’ve owned two others. It’s easy to setup and use so I use it often. It’s very easy to clean, doesn’t get stuck and does a GREAT job on our 16’x55’ pool. We have owned this robot for almost 2 years. Recently, it stopped working. I ran through all the diagnostics on the website but couldn’t figure it out. I was surprised to learn that it was still under warranty so I requested a label, packed it up and sent it in. Before I began to miss it, it reappeared!!! I was thrilled with service. How often does that happen—when you love the product AND the customer service???

I purchased a suction cleaner for $200 and it worked well but since I only have 1 skimmer I would lose the function of the skimmer and I still had to deal with the hose and cleaning out the skimmer and backwashing etc. When the suction vacuum went bad last year, I purchased a Polaris 360 side wall pressure cleaner about a month ago. I was excited since I have 3 output ports so I could use the skimmer and the Polaris vacuum at the same time!! The Polaris 360 would go in circles, never leave the deep end. I also came home and found it floating in the pool!! I called Polaris and they could not help so back to Amazon it went. Next I researched the robotic pool cleaners and found the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. It arrived, I read the easy setup paper that came with the cleaner, I cut the packing plastic off the front and rear rollers, checked the inside filters that were already installed. Put the vacuum in the water, hooked up the blue power cable to the power supply timer. Plugged the timer into the GFI outlet on my house. Pressed the power button on the timer/power supply and away the vacuum went. My pool is a oval in ground vinyl pool 34 feet x 18 feet its 8-1/2 feet deep and 4 ft in the low end. This vacuum went up the walls, went around the edge , even over the skimmer, down into the deep end over the bottom drain and into the low end. It tried to go up the steps but couldn't do it. In approx 2-3 hrs the pool was crystal clear!! I opened the top of the cleaner, removed the 4 filters that came straight out easy, then I un-clipped the filters and cleaned then with my hose. Finished in 2 minutes and could not believe how much gunk this vacuum found. Reinserted the now clean filters and I'm ready for the next pool cleaning. OMG, this is an incredible machine! I put my manual vac and hose back into the garage. No more vacuuming for me! I will let the Dolphin Nautilus do it!! This vacuum is like having another filter roaming my pool. I bet I will not have to back wash very much anymore. Will update by the end of the summer. END OF 1st SUMMER UPDATE: WOW what a great summer with this easy clean pool cleaner. I wanted to give a tip, I could find anything that tells me how to winterize so it works perfectly next summer. So I emailed the MFG and they told me exactly what to do. They said keep the unit in an area that does not go below freezing and turn upside down and keep the weight of the machine off the rollers. Did exactly that and put the unit in my basement. So we will see next year! START OF SUMMER 2021 (3rd year) Vacuum Robot is still working perfectly. Found a small hole in one of the clear filters. No problem ordered a new set of filters on Amazon today and I still have another set of the paper filters that came with the robot that I am using. The beauty of this robot is you do not have to backwash you filter as much because this vacuum collects all the large and small dirt in the pool. Best Vacuum ever! UPDATE SUMMER 2023 Opened the pool in May and had tears in the cover, so I did have more dirt on the liner than usual. No problem Robot cleaned everything perfectly! Still working since 2018 when I purchased this. I keep it in our finished basement during the winter and it has never failed me. So happy with this purchase!

Very good does what it says

It is the best on the market and a joy to have cleaning the swimming pool. I recommend this product.

Bueno limpiador *****

I did a lot of research and the Dolphin CC Plus was well reviewed. The Dolphin replaced an old robotic cleaner made by different manufacturer. The Dolphin is awesome, and does perform like it is supposed to. It even cleans the seams in the pool liner much better than the other robotic cleaner. While the manual (yes, I read it) states it doesn't do the water line, it will run horizontally at or above the water line. The double filter system works extremely well, and is easy to clean. I couldn't be happier. It does move very quickly and I am thinking about removing the latter each time I use it. Why? Because it hits the ladder with a certain degree of force. Not a big issue to pop the ladder up while the Dolphin goes to work. Extremely satisfied and would buy again.

El Dolphin navega solo por la alberca y en dos horas la deja limpia. El resultado es fantástico, sin complicaciones y sin desperdiciar agua.
