My Third pool cleaner and by far the best!!!!!

I purchased a suction cleaner for $200 and it worked well but since I only have 1 skimmer I would lose the function of the skimmer and I still had to deal with the hose and cleaning out the skimmer and backwashing etc. When the suction vacuum went bad last year, I purchased a Polaris 360 side wall pressure cleaner about a month ago. I was excited since I have 3 output ports so I could use the skimmer and the Polaris vacuum at the same time!! The Polaris 360 would go in circles, never leave the deep end. I also came home and found it floating in the pool!! I called Polaris and they could not help so back to Amazon it went. Next I researched the robotic pool cleaners and found the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. It arrived, I read the easy setup paper that came with the cleaner, I cut the packing plastic off the front and rear rollers, checked the inside filters that were already installed. Put the vacuum in the water, hooked up the blue power cable to the power supply timer. Plugged the timer into the GFI outlet on my house. Pressed the power button on the timer/power supply and away the vacuum went. My pool is a oval in ground vinyl pool 34 feet x 18 feet its 8-1/2 feet deep and 4 ft in the low end. This vacuum went up the walls, went around the edge , even over the skimmer, down into the deep end over the bottom drain and into the low end. It tried to go up the steps but couldn't do it. In approx 2-3 hrs the pool was crystal clear!! I opened the top of the cleaner, removed the 4 filters that came straight out easy, then I un-clipped the filters and cleaned then with my hose. Finished in 2 minutes and could not believe how much gunk this vacuum found. Reinserted the now clean filters and I'm ready for the next pool cleaning. OMG, this is an incredible machine! I put my manual vac and hose back into the garage. No more vacuuming for me! I will let the Dolphin Nautilus do it!! This vacuum is like having another filter roaming my pool. I bet I will not have to back wash very much anymore. Will update by the end of the summer. END OF 1st SUMMER UPDATE: WOW what a great summer with this easy clean pool cleaner. I wanted to give a tip, I could find anything that tells me how to winterize so it works perfectly next summer. So I emailed the MFG and they told me exactly what to do. They said keep the unit in an area that does not go below freezing and turn upside down and keep the weight of the machine off the rollers. Did exactly that and put the unit in my basement. So we will see next year!

My pool looked like a green swamp after the past winter season

My pool looked like a green swamp after the past winter season, and my water suction cleaner wasn't accomplishing anything. So after reading many reviews and recommendations, I decided on this one. It's a powerful scrubber cleaner that pretty much does what it's advertised to do. Using this robotic cleaner along with some algae and shock chemicals totally cleaned up the pool in 2 to 3 days. The top loading filters are easy to remove and clean. They save your regular pool filters and skimmers from catching all the debris that would require backwashing. So far I am very pleased with this unit. I had read that others complained about it leaving black marks on the pool, but I talked to the manufacturer and they said that that has not been an issue with this more recent design, and I found that to be true. I have an odd shaped gunite pool with steps, ledges, etc. This cleaner climbs all over the place, and does not leave any black marks. No failures, no complaints, just a very clean pool so far!

I could not live without this pool vacuum!

We first started using it to help clear up our 'green' pool from being closed over winter. It's amazing what this thing picks up. It comes with 2 sets of filters: one for picking up larger debris (more open weave design) and one set for fine filtering. Until we had the pool open, we used the set for larger debris, then switched to the fine screens to 'micro filter' the small stuff and small algae particles from the floor bottom and sides. 1 cycle lasts 2 hours and you can set it to run daily, every other day, once a week, etc. Or you can just run it manually when you want. We run it about every other day and it virtually eliminates the start of algae growth on the liner which is great if you don't run the pump continuously. Highly recommend.

A very satisfied pool owner

After putting up with a Polaris 360 for way to long, I happily replaced it with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. The pool was filthy and had a heavy ring of grit around the bottom of the circular deep end, plus the entire pool bottom needed a good cleaning. The Dolphin was in the water within a few minutes of its arrival -- heavy grit filters in place -- and did a remarkable job needing only one filter rinse. We have a 22' x 38' free form pool with a circular deep end and a rectangular shallow end. It has a vinyl liner, steps, swim out and no 90 degree corners. I put the fine filters in the next day and ran it again, even though the pool was cleaner than it had ever been, and was surprised at the amount of dirt and grit it picked up. It does a good job with the walls and coping, and actually goes up into the swim out which before I always had to clean manually. I don't understand how the cleaver clean system works since it appears to be random but it did a great job of cleaning the entire pool in only 2 hrs. Hi highly recommend this product but do suggest you get the caddy for it as well: not necessary but it makes storing pool side much neater. UPDATE: I've had the Dolphin now for about 5 weeks and am still very happy with my purchase. I use it every 2-3 days as needed and it always does a good job at cleaning the entire pool in about 2 hrs. A couple comments: 1st, separating marketing hype from reality, the cord absolutely does tangle however the swivel connector near the end of the cord does its job beautifully so line tangling does not interfere with performance. I only mention this because trying to neatly roll up the cord on deck is a daunting task made much easier with the stand. I find it best to unplug the cord from the controller, pull it out straight and then coil it onto the stand. I then plug it back in so it's ready for the next use. 2nd. it goes into the shallow swim out several times each cleaning and occasionally (not every cleaning, not even every other cleaning) gets stuck needing help to get out. Personally I don't find this to be a big problem. Finally, the Dolphin can be programmed to run every day, every 2nd day or every 3rd day. I don't find this helpful since it does not have a clock setting so if I wanted it to run at say 5am I would have to put it in the water at 5am and select an option. And according to the manual the setting is only good for 7 days. So, again, I don't find this feature helpful but I don't leave the cleaner in the pool anyway so I have no need it.

Outstanding robotic inground pool cleaner

We had a Dolphin robotic cleaner that serviced our 20x40 in ground pool for 10+ years. Finally its life came to an end and I turned to Dolphin again for its replacement. We purchased the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus and we are amazed at the advancements in this product. We were totally satisfied with our previous Dolphin for we NEVER had to clean our pool. The Nautilus is keeping our pool spotless. The advantages include cycles pool in 2 hrs instead of 3, no cord tangling, extremely easy to clean cartridges, lighter weight, climbs entire pool walls and steps, turns itself off when cycle done. It is an investment but well worth the money spent and cleaning time eliminated to have a spotless pool. We are hoping our new Dolphin has a long life like our previous one

Life changing purchase after cleaning manually for years. 2 years old and going strong

This thing climbs the walls and cleans my 15k gallon pool perfectly. A life changing purchase after cleaning my pool manually for two years with the hose and pole attachment. Keeps the strain off my filters, and the device is on it's second season and going strong. Light enough to lift without a caddy, easy to clean, seems durable and reliable.

Love this little blue guy!

The answer to all things pool! I was really worried about purchasing this because it seems so expensive, but trust me, it is worth every last penny. If you love to vacuum your pool, then this is not for you. If however, you could go through life and never miss having to vacuum again, then just fork out the cash, buy this guy, toss him in your pool and sand, leaves and debris be gone! The best thing ever! PS. buy the stupid cart thing because if not, you will be like me, ordering it later... LOL enjoy! You are going to love this thing.

must buy for our pool

Simply an outstanding product. Some things that all must know is that it is not well suited for large material such as leaves. Our pool was recently opened and there was general dirt and crud that would take me 3-4 hours to clean up. Using this monster I pitched it in the pool and watched it do it's thing and was amazed at what it was able to do.amazing technology and I am very satisfied with results in less than than 2 hours without me managing the machine.

Texas Pool

02/10/2018 I got the Dolphin Nautilus Plus and used it in the pool for a 1 cycle test run. I am happy with the initial result. This unit collected sand/dirt and other debris (dog hair) from the bottom of the pool. This unit is able to climb and scrub wall and the bottom 2 steps. I keep up with the weekly manual scrubbing of the wall and gather leaves which got into the pool, but this will greatly assist me with vacuum the bottom. Will update once I get more use from this unit. 02/27/2018 So far, I tried both of the filter media and the fine filters will trap all the fine dirt and dog hair. I remove the cleaner and clean the filters after each cycle. I do not keep the cleaner in the pool when not in operation.

My Personal Experience W/ The Dolphin Nautilus +: CHOOSING, S & H, REPLACEMENT & FUNCTIONALITY

So. We put an in-ground pool in this summer, a big one, 20' by 40', slide, heater, diving board, 12 ft. deep end, 3 stairs, and a safety ledge which runs the length of both 40' sides. The pool had been up and running less than a week when it became obvious I would have to have a pool cleaner, referred to from here on as a "sucky" (blame the name on my mother). First, I looked locally for a sucky, and YIKES! the prices were outrageous, between $1500-2500 for what appeared to be an average sucky, although some of them had tails that whipped around, and others a remote control, and still others a programmable chip to tell sucky when and how long to run, and others which were wearing animal costumes?. I quickly realized that most of these suckys were going to require the installation of a separate pump to use them, which we had not had installed, and really didn't want to. I also realized for servicing, warranty or repair purposes, I better buy a brand that could be serviced locally, even if I didn't buy locally. I narrowed my selection down to either a Dolphin or a Polaris model, both of which could be serviced locally, then began searching online. After a lengthy search and then a comparison of my final 3 choices, I went with the Dolphin N+ model, for the following reasons which were stated in the item description: Size and weight of item was manageable for a single individual to move, put in, and remove from pool. Did not need additional pump. Able to clean safety ledge, steps, walls, floor, no problem, 4WD. Came assembled, ready to use, with extra filters. Filters were easy to remove and clean. Extra long cord should allow sucky to clean all parts of my large pool with ease. Replacement parts were readily available. Warranty was available. Next day delivery FREE available. Price was VERY competitive. Reviews were favorable. Sucky came with a computer chip which would map the layout of the pool, including ledges and steps, insuring sucky would do a thorough job, every time he was used. Sucky would take less than 2 hours to clean entire pool, THEN TURN HIMSELF OFF. I was sold. Ordered sucky, and he arrived the next day, JOY JOY JOY! I threw sucky into the pool and watched with great anticipation for sucky to do his thing. Sucky did nothing. Sucky was broken, arrived with a broken front mounting bracket for his front sucky wheels, causing the wheel to fall off when he tried to do his job. DEEP DESPAIR. I immediately felt sick, thinking $700, arrived broken and %#$&!?@ to get returned and replaced. Despondent, I contacted Amazon. To my amazement, they sent a return shipping label and a new sucky THE VERY NEXT DAY. AND SCHEDULED A PICK UP OF BROKEN SUCKY at my convienence. REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE I KNOW, BUT TRUE. Even better, the new sucky is amazing, and every thing said about him is indeed true, if I was to complain about him at all, it would be that his ledge and stair work leaves behind a bit of sand (salt water pool, sand filter), a very tiny bit, and I'd advise that you also purchase the storage stand, which isn't included but is sold separately, it gives a place to store the battery off the ground during use, a place to wrap the cord, and a little seat for sucky to rest on when he's not at work, and nice big wheels to move the whole thing around, similar to a moving dolly, but made especially for sucky. CONCLUSION: love purchase, easy to return and replace, does a great job, even on large pools, and reasonably priced.
