Dolphin Proteus DX3
Score: 74/100
Dolphin Nautilus Pool-Up
Score: 70/100Rankings

The Dolphin Proteus DX3 offers wall-climbing, smart navigation and a powerful 4000 gph suction for comprehensive cleaning of pools up to 33 ft. It falls short on advanced scheduling, app integration and waterline scrubbing. Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who need floor and wall cleaning without smart-home features.

The Dolphin Nautilus Pool-Up robot combines smart navigation, wall-climbing and an active scrubbing brush for thorough cleaning of pools up to 26 ft. Its heavier weight and missing warranty details may deter users seeking easy portability and guaranteed support. Suited for owners who prioritize cleaning performance over lightweight convenience.
