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 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.

This is one little workhorse. Purchased last year about September and have used it a great deal. The leaf basket is very good at containing most all the leaves on the pool floor saving pool filter cleaning. Mine came with the additional (hepa like) filters and when it cleans the floor of the pool you can really see the difference. Most all the material is trapped in the filter basket. My only negative point is that the basket must be torn down to remove the leaf filters and then put back together with the hepa like filters. You can buy a separate hepa like filter basket so its easier.

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.

He tenido muchos problemas para hacerlo operar. Es un aparato diseñado para Europa. El tipo de contacto y la cantidad de energía no es adecuado para México (requiere 250 V en Mexico son 110 V). He intentado resolver este problema sin exito.

The Dolphin Nautilus CC has completely transformed how I maintain my pool. It’s incredibly easy to use—just drop it in, press start, and it gets to work immediately. 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.

A basic, no frills product that does the job - cleans the walls and floor of my pool to a high standard - no need for fancy add-ons and software that stops working! This is my second - first one lasted 6 years and used every day in the summer. Delivery was faster than advertised. Very happy.
