Head-to-Head Comparison
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro vs Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus WiFi
Our pool experts compare features, filtration, specs, and value to help you pick the right robotic pool cleaner.
Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus WiFi or Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro — which wins?
Our Recommendations
Our pool experts don't recommend either the Nautilus CC Pro or Nautilus CC Plus. Why? Because both units are lack the Gen 2 NanoFiltration™ found on the Dolphin ProLine™ and Dolphin Max-Series. Combine with the fact that the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus and Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro have shorter warranties, lower suction power, and a restocking fee, there are simply better alternatives available. Our pool experts recommend units such as the Dolphin Premier and Dolphin Sigma - which both have NanoFilters, Waterline Cleaning, Larger Commercial-Grade Motors, and 30 Day Trials.

Explained
Compare Features in Detail
Programmable Weekly Timer
An automatic pool cleaner should be automatic. A programmable weekly timer sets the robot to clean on a schedule — every day, every other day, or a few times a week — without you turning it on and off.
Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel
Say goodbye to tangled cords. An anti-tangle swivel lets the robot move 360° around your pool without the cord getting tangled, so you can sit back while it cleans. Learn more ›
Warranty Coverage
A robot is only as good as its warranty. Buying through an Authorized Dealer like Poolbots gets you the full manufacturer warranty — never pro-rated or limited by cleaning cycles — plus a 30-day in-pool trial with no restocking fees. Learn more ›
