The Dolphin Nautilus CC is a straightforward, no-frills pool cleaner designed primarily for above-ground pools up to 33 feet. With basic cleaning capabilities, it focuses on scrubbing floors and walls, but lacks waterline cleaning. It comes with standard fine filters but does not include NanoFilters, which limits its ability to pick up smaller debris and algae. The compact design and easy-to-access top-load filter make maintenance simpler, though it may not match the power or features of newer models with more advanced capabilities.
Without these Gen 2 filters, the Nautilus CC cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.
Why NanoFilters are essential →
The Nautilus CC uses the standard motors, rather than utilizing the more powerful, commercial-grade motors found on the ProLine™
Without waterline cleaning, the Dolphin Nautilus CC won't clean the dirtest part of your pool. The Nautilus CC only has partial wall climbing.
Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →
With SmartNav 2.0™, NanoFilter™ Capability, HyperBrush™, & MaxBin™, the Escape pushes the limits on what a robotic pool cleaner in capable of.
Upgraded Max-Series™ with Wall Climbing, MaxBin™, Weekly Smart Timer, and NanoFiltration™ Capability

Real reviews from verified customers on Google.
John Rodriguez of "Poolbots" recommended the Dolphin Sigma for my 20x40 Saltwater pool. I have to say, "John was correct...this thing is a beast!" I live in the SoCal desert and the Sigma picks up the fine dirt, sand and phosphate residue. John answered all of my questions. Shipping was quick! Semper Fi — USMC 1984-1992
"Patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly."
Jose provided clear and detailed information about the pool cleaners. His professionalism made the whole process stress-free.
I wish I would have converted my pressure side vac to an electric pool robot a long time ago. It cleans 10x better and completes my pool in 90 minutes.
"Without her multiple emails to the company, this would never have happened."
Shannon assisted me with an ongoing issue since May 2025 with a manufacturer. She went the extra mile and followed up!
Excellent customer service and super fast shipping. I highly recommend Poolbots for all your needs.
"I asked to speak to a human — and was told 'I am a human!'"
I clicked "chat" expecting AI. I was so pleased this company still has human interaction. John was great.
I really appreciate the opportunity to try a robot and be able to swap it. Great return process and customer service.
"A far better and more informed purchase option than Amazon."
John went out of his way to go over all the different units and what might be best for my pool. Absolutely awesome customer service.
"Truly treats you like family."
I had a few issues with my product, but Jose did an amazing job helping me and stayed in constant communication throughout the entire process.
"Jose helped fix my incorrect shipping address... saved me a lot of grief."
His help was excellent. Quick intervention prevented a lost shipment.
"Because of John, I bookmarked Poolbots and will use them for everything."
He was very knowledgeable, professional, and interested in getting you the right product — not just making a sale.
"John was amazing. I had no idea what I needed."
He was very patient. After giving me multiple options and explaining the differences, he offered the perfect unit for my pool.
"Call John, you won't be sorry!"
John guided me through the process of selecting the best pool cleaner robot for my needs. Very highly recommend!

Does an excellent job. Easy to use and clean.
The media could not be loaded. Edit: after a week it FINALLY stopped getting stuck but wanted to wait to see if it would again before updating this review. Don't know why it took so long to map the pool or whatever happened. It's about twice a week now when it does get stuck so at least it's better. After spending almost a thousand bucks and setting it up step by step with the wifi app, it ran for 10 minutes then got stuck. I waited for 10 more minutes to see if it would correct itself and it never did. Then it went to the other side of the pool and got stuck again. My brother in law has this and his would get stuck on the steps but I thought it was because he had a kidney shaped pool. Nope! Mine is a plane Jane rectangle pool and it gets stuck on my basic steps. Get it together Dolphin, this is supposed to be a smart cleaner that maps out your pool. There needs to be a way to avoid the steps using the app or at least program it to where if it doesn't move for 5 minutes then it needs to lower the pressure so it can fall to the floor and try again. What a waste on money and time.
Here’s the real world scenario our dolphin thing has lived through for two years and counting: We leave this thing in the outside elements more than we should, either at the bottom of the pool or outside the pool frying in the Texas sun. We don’t even own a cover for it. It’s had to cruise around the bottom of the pool when we’ve kind of “let it go” before, and has even handled that pretty well with leaves and random stuff at the bottom of the pool. The kids have occasionally tried to stand on it while it’s driving around. They’ve pulled it up by it’s cord to plop it out of the pool and get it out of their way. Only issue we ever had was, a handful of months into ownership, the little computer box portion stopped working. We contacted the seller and a replacement was promptly sent our way. It’s been problem-free ever since.
UPDATE: I am adding two extra stars because the unit seems to have gotten an over Wi-Fi update and now seems to get stuck less than it was before. It is not a “smart” unit that learns your pool, but the cycle seems to have been changed which causes it to free itself from jams more often. ORIGINAL RECIEW: I was hoping that this would be the solution to years of fighting with a pressure sided cleaner. It isn’t. If you have any cutouts, stairs or forms in your pool be prepared to stand by for two hours to release it every time it gets stuck. I watched the unit struggle to free itself for 30 minutes. It’s a programming issue on the unit, because each time it would have been able to escape if only it went backwards for more than two seconds before accelerating forward and slamming right back into the same stuck location again. I had to free it multiple times from three separate corner locations in the pool. At least my Polaris had the back flow valve that could launch it out of any trapped location and across the pool. I am very disappointed. The only positive is that it does seem to clean well, but I would had bought a much cheaper unit if I knew I would have to babysit it so closely.
We’ve had our cleaner for just less than a week. I chose this model because it was recommended by a friend who also has one. We have ran it twice and so far so good. We have a 20x40 rectangular gunite pool. It doesn’t always get the corners great, but I’m happy doing those on my own if the rest gets clean. I’m hoping to give this little guy 5 stars once we’ve had it longer. We did buy the cart and cover. The cover seems a bit flimsy, but it’ll keep the dust off. Definitely buy the cart!!
No, we never charge a restocking fee ever! We know a robotic pool cleaner is a big investment, which is why we offer Free 30-Day Trials on all robotic pool cleaners!

The handles on your Dolphin are for lifting and carrying the unit, while the floats are designed to help your Dolphin navigate around the pool and maintain proper buoyancy.
