Score: 66/100
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
Score: 69/100Rankings
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.
The Hayward SharkVac delivers independent two-hour floor and cove cleaning with top-access filters and safety sensors. Its heavy weight and lack of wall or waterline cleaning limit versatility. Best for smaller in-ground pools needing reliable floor maintenance.

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.
“Effortless setup, app convenience, quick cleaning under 2 hours, and light weight for easy removal”
