Score: 69/100
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
Score: 69/100Rankings
Hayward's TigerShark QC provides a rapid 90-minute Quick Clean cycle, on-board pump and dual 5-micron filters for thorough cleaning of pools up to 20 × 40 ft. Its limited pool size range and inconsistent warranty details are trade-offs. Suited for residential pools where quick maintenance is valued.
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro is a lightweight Wi-Fi-enabled robotic pool cleaner that delivers full floor, wall and waterline cleaning in a 2-hour cycle. Its modest suction power and short 1-year warranty limit its suitability for heavy-debris or commercial use. Best for residential pools up to 50 ft where ease of handling and app control are priorities.

Professional reviewers describe the TigerShark QC as a fast-cleaning robot with a 90-minute Quick Clean cycle, on-board pump and dual 5-micron cartridge filters that deliver thorough cleaning for pools up to 20 × 40 ft. They note the limited pool size and optional accessories needed for tiled waterlines as considerations.
Consumers appreciate the rapid 90-minute Quick Clean cycle and the convenience of an on-board pump, but express concerns about the limited pool size compatibility and mixed warranty information.
“Effortless setup, app convenience, quick cleaning under 2 hours, and light weight for easy removal”
Professional reviewers commend the Nautilus CC Pro for its lightweight build, intuitive MyDolphin Plus app, and reliable CleverClean navigation that covers floor, walls and waterline in a short cycle. However, they note the absence of nano-filters, a filter-full indicator, and a relatively modest 4000 gph suction, as well as a limited 1-year warranty, which keep it from matching higher-end models.
Everyday users appreciate the robot's easy setup, quick 2-hour cleaning, and the convenience of app-based scheduling, especially noting its light weight for handling. Recurring frustrations center on the filter's inability to trap fine debris, the missing filter-full indicator, occasional wall-climbing misses, and the short warranty period.
