Dolphin Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Wall Climbing Scrubber Brush, Smart Navigation, Ideal for In-Ground Pools up to 50 FT in Length - Nautilus CC Plus

A reasonably priced robot cleaner that cleans the wall as well the floor of a medium size pool efficiently and, so far for me at least, reliably. The more or less budget price means you don't get a programmable controller; the machine has to be switched on manually, (it switches off automatically at the end of a run cycle). So be prepared to have to switch the machine on well before you want a swim. The filter is efficient at retaining the debris it vacuums up but cleaning the filter bag is fiddly and isn’t as easy as cleaning the filter cassettes fitted to more expensive models but it’s got a large capacity so you won’t have to do it too often. Being a Dolphin, spare parts seem relatively widely available here in theUK which hasn't been my experience with other manufacturers. All in all, a good machine for the price from a well-known manufacturer but if you want more bells and whistles and easier maintenance you may need to consider moving up the range and spending a bit more.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ARE IN THE UK. Purchased Dolphin Nautilus Pool Vacuum Cleaner and after less than 1 year of use the blue power cable started to erode. I contacted the company through Amazon to be told that as the pool cleaner is a US model, the warranty was invalid once it left the US. Nowhere in any description does it say this in fact the description states "The Nautilus Plus with CleverClean is also backed with a 24 month warranty leaving you worry free". The pool cleaner is now unsafe to use and a complete waste of money.

Unfortunately, my unit did not pick up the dirt in my pool. I've owned a Dolphin previously and it was great. Not sure if the unit was faulty as the supplier Chakra were awful to deal with and withheld £450 from my refund. They said the unit had been used as I said to them I had to use it to find out it didn't work! Amazon’s A to Z refund ensured I received a full refund.
