Dolphin (2026 Model) Nautilus AG Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Active Scrubber

The Dolphin Nautilus AG is an automatic robotic pool vacuum cleaner built to take the manual labor out of maintaining clean pool floors. Designed for straightforward floor maintenance, it drops straight into the water to scrub and collect settled dirt and debris across any pool shape or surface type.

Operation is built around a true plug-and-play process. Once plugged in and lowered into the water, it powers on and completes a full cleaning cycle in 1.5 hours. Inside, Smart Navigation Technology scans the area to calculate an efficient route, while an active scrubbing brush works on the floor surface to lift stuck-on dirt without damaging finishes.

Filter maintenance is straightforward thanks to a top-accessible filter basket. Instead of flipping the cleaner over to access collection compartments, you can lift the basket directly from the top to empty out collected debris and rinse it clean before the next session.

The primary trade-off is cleaning coverage: this model is designed specifically for pool floors and does not climb or clean walls and waterlines. Buyers should also note that the manufacturer specifications do not state the maximum pool size, cable length, or filter micron rating.

Verdict: The Dolphin Nautilus AG is an efficient choice for pool owners who want fast, automated floor scrubbing with easy filter upkeep. If you need a straightforward cleaner that handles bottom debris in 90 minutes without needing wall-climbing capability, this model fits the bill.

A great fit if you:

• Need an automatic floor cleaner that finishes a full cycle in 1.5 hours
• Want a top-loading filter basket that is easy to remove and rinse
• Prefer simple plug-and-play operation with smart path scanning
• Have any pool surface type that needs gentle yet active floor scrubbing

Consider something else if you:

• Need a vacuum that climbs walls and scrubs along the waterline
• Require detailed specifications on cable length or filter pore size prior to purchasing
