A sensible budget cordless pick for owners who want walls and waterline scrubbed without paying flagship money. Reviewers found it picked up leaves and dirt well, but it skipped step debris and its 150 µm basket will not hold fine sand or algae. Skip it if you have a sun shelf you want cleaned.

A simple corded Dolphin that adds app control and a weekly timer for in-ground pools up to 40 ft. It cleans floors and walls but not the waterline, and Maytronics now covers it for only one year. If fine debris or waterline grime is your main problem, step up to a higher Dolphin.

What reviewers found
Beatbot Sora 10
- PCWorld: Picked up dirt and leaves and scrubbed walls and waterline credibly, collecting over 95% of test debris in about two hours, but missed all debris on the steps and sinks a few minutes after parking if not retrieved. Source
- The Smart Home Hookup: Strong coverage, runtime, waterline cleaning and leaf pickup; failed the 8 inch sun shelf test and its 150 micron basket will not trap algae or fine silt. Source
- The Pool Nerd: Lists it as an entry option with better build than no name robots, but notes a slow random path, no weekly timer, and basic mesh filtration. Source
Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi
- The Pool Nerd: Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved: Dolphin cut the Nautilus warranty to one year, newer units ship with standard mesh filters instead of NanoFilters, and it climbs walls but does not scrub the waterline. Source
- Poolbots (retailer review): Headlined great cleaning performance but missing essential features: no waterline cleaning, Gen 1 filter cartridges and no NanoFilters. Source
