Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus versus Dolphin Nautilus CC
Compare Features, Filters, and Warranty
Nautilus CC or Nautilus CC Plus. Which wins?
Both robots have three major shortcomings when compared to newer Gen 2 models: they lack NanoFiltration, use smaller Gen 1 cartridges instead of MaxBin, and lack waterline cleaning. We suggest considering the Dolphin Max-Series or Dolphin ProLine, which include NanoFilters for capturing smaller particles and offer substantial upgrades to the pool robot experience. These options come with longer warranties, superior filters, and better pool coverage, making them a better choice for a robotic pool cleaner.
