Dolphin Nautilus CC
Score: 57/100
Aiper Surfer S2
Score: 70/100Rankings
The Aiper Surfer S2 combines solar charging with app-based scheduling, delivering up to 35 hours of operation and fine 150 µm filtration. Its bulkier build and modest propulsion make it slower than competing models. Suited for users who value hands-free, continuous surface cleaning and solar autonomy.
The Dolphin Nautilus CC bundle provides a universal caddy and a heavy-duty UV-resistant cover, adding convenience and protection for the robot. However, the package does not disclose any performance metrics such as runtime or suction power. Best for owners who already have a compatible Nautilus CC and need storage and transport accessories.

Reviewers commend the Surfer S2 for its comprehensive cleaning suite-150 μm filtration, a generous 4 L basket, DebrisGuard™ and SolarSeeker™-and its convenient app control. However, they consistently point out that the robot feels chunky and under-powered, with 2.5-inch propellers struggling to move the heavier chassis, making it slower than competing models.
While formal consumer reviews are scarce, the limited Q&A data shows users are pleased with the fine-level filtration and strong suction port, and no major complaints have surfaced in the available sources.
