I sort of did things in reverse. I bought the unit then started watching reviews on Youtube. They must have upgraded the unit since reviews on Youtube as none of the downsides were evident. Youtube videos said it didn’t climb the walls or do the waterline. This is false as it easily climbs the walls and does the waterline and nearly climbs right out of the pool. Reviews said it didn’t get fine particles- wrong again- it has very fine filters. I couldn’t really see an organized pattern that it used to clean the pool but it does it somehow- I couldn’t find any missed spots. Very easy to use and clean- Very happy that I no longer have the chore of cleaning the pool.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ARE IN THE UK. Purchased Dolphin Nautilus Pool Vacuum Cleaner and after less than 1 year of use the blue power cable started to erode. I contacted the company through Amazon to be told that as the pool cleaner is a US model, the warranty was invalid once it left the US. Nowhere in any description does it say this in fact the description states “The Nautilus Plus with CleverClean is also backed with a 24 month warranty leaving you worry free”. The pool cleaner is now unsafe to use and a complete waste of money.
I’m impressed. 18×36 inground poolI 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 CleanerEDIT: 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!
Very good overall, with a couple of issues. Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus purchased Dec 2022. Used 1-2 times/week since March 2023 in a free-form 25k gal gunite pool with 3 semi-circular steps in the shallow end.It does a very good job of cleaning the bottom and sides, with about 95% coverage in a 2 hr run. It also does quite well cleaning the waterline on both the shallow (3′) and deep (7′) ends, in 10-12 ft intervals, when using the standard “fine” filters. It’s significantly more effective than the suction-side pool vacs I’ve used in the past (particularly for the sides), and greatly reduces (but does not eliminate) the need to backwash the primary sand filter. Its screen-like internal filters are well designed, have a large capacity, and are easy to clean.The standard filters do not trap the finest dirt which may accumulate over time on the bottom, however. To get this, I use a set of the “ultrafine” pleated filters (purchased separately) that look similar to HVAC air filters. These work well for cleaning up the fine stuff, but apparently reduce the water flow sufficiently that the vacuum can no longer clean the waterline (which may be why Maytronics disavows this ability). Therefore I use the “ultrafine” filters only occasionally.The main problem I have with this vacuum is that it does not handle the (10″x12″) stairs well. It can climb them, but is too large (about 16″ square) to find a stable position on them with adequate traction. It frequently gets stuck in one position for a minute or more (I’ve timed it up to 2.5 min), running its traction belts fruitlessly. When it does get free, it often seems to recognize there was a problem, and returns to the steps immediately, sometimes getting stuck again. This wastes a disproportionate amount of time, not to mention the additional wear and tear on the plaster and the robot. Consequently, I feel I need to check on it periodically while it’s running in order to free it when it gets badly stuck. I’d much rather have it ignore the stairs entirely.A second problem is that the two corners on the left side of the plastic housing scrape against the pool walls and stairs, leaving dark brown streaks on the plaster that are difficult to remove even with a wire brush. This abrasion is also wearing the housing down. I have started placing white waterproof adhesive tape on these corners prior to each use, which somewhat reduces the abrasive effects. It’s annoying to have to do this. The right side corners do have rubber bumpers attached that prevent their scraping the wall. I suspect this may be because it tends to use its right side against the coping when cleaning the tiles. I don’t see why the left side should not have similar bumpers.On the whole this is an effective, time-saving robotic vacuum with room for improvement.
I loved this pool cleaner. It did an amazing job when it worked. My concern is that two years and 2 weeks later it died. It was 2 weeks past product support. Living in Canada, that means that I used it for a total of 6 months. I stored it in my garage for the fall and winter months, and it was well maintained.
