## What reviewers found

### 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](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/dolphin-nautilus-cc-plus-review)
- Poolbots (retailer review): Headlined great cleaning performance but missing essential features: no waterline cleaning, Gen 1 filter cartridges and no NanoFilters. [Source](https://www.poolbots.com/reviews/dolphin-nautilus-cc-plus-wifi)

### Dolphin (Maytronics) Premier

- Bob Vila (9/10): Cleaned light leaf litter, tile line algae and storm dirt in a Miami pool, ran quietly at about 5 cents per hour, but was heavy to lift and the caddy and remote cost extra. [Source](https://www.bobvila.com/articles/dolphin-premier-robotic-pool-cleaner-review.md)
- The Pool Nerd: Names it the author's personal favorite after testing about 30 robots, citing suction, filter choices and the 3 year warranty. Affiliate site with links to Dolphin dealers. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/dolphin-premier-review)
