My Experience with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi

I recently tested the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi and was impressed with its performance. Out of the box, the robot required no setup other than plugging into a power source and connecting to Wi-Fi, a process that took me less than 5 minutes. Once the robot was connected, dropped into the pool, and a cleaning schedule was set, there was not much else to do. The robot cleaned my pool in around 2 hours, picking up soggy leaves, dead bugs, gravel, and sand. It used its fierce scrubbing brushes and a suction rate of 4,500 gallons per hour to clean the floor and walls of my kidney bean-shaped pool. The only function it doesn’t have is a dedicated waterline setting, but I’ve found most waterline cleaning features to be just OK. For me, spending several hundred dollars more for a model with waterline cleaning just isn’t worth it. The Wi-Fi and app connectivity are what tipped this model over the top. Through the app, I can control the robot’s cleaning schedules, and I found it had far fewer disconnections and glitches than other connected robot pool cleaners I tested.
