Dolphin (2026 Model) Nautilus AG Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Active Scrubber Brush, Top Load Filters Access, Ideal for Above-Ground Pools up to 33 FT in Length

The Dolphin Nautilus AG is an automatic robotic pool vacuum cleaner designed for above-ground pools up to 33 feet long. It automates routine floor maintenance, taking the manual effort out of keeping pool water clear. Setup requires minimal effort, making it practical for pool owners who want straightforward, automated cleaning.

Operation is centered around convenience with a plug and play design. You plug the cleaner in, lower it into the pool, and power it on to begin a 1.5-hour cycle. Smart Navigation Technology scans the pool to determine an efficient cleaning route across different pool shapes and surface types. An active scrubbing brush works on stuck-on debris while remaining gentle on pool surfaces, gathering waste into a top-load filter basket that is simple to access and rinse.

There are a few clear trade-offs to keep in mind based on the physical design. This cleaner is built exclusively for pool floors and does not scrub walls or clean along the waterline. Additionally, it is rated specifically for above-ground pools up to 33 feet in length, so owners of larger pools or in-ground setups will need to look at alternative models.

Verdict: The Dolphin Nautilus AG is a reliable choice for above-ground pool owners wanting automated floor care. Its combination of active scrubbing, top-access filter maintenance, and a fast 1.5-hour run time makes routine pool upkeep hassle-free.

A great fit if you:

• Own an above-ground pool up to 33 feet in length.
• Want a quick 1.5-hour automatic cleaning cycle for routine pool floor maintenance.
• Prefer top-loading filter access that makes rinsing out collected debris simple and convenient.

Consider something else if you:

• Require a robotic vacuum capable of climbing pool walls and cleaning the waterline.
• Maintain an in-ground pool or an above-ground pool exceeding 33 feet in length.

Does this robotic cleaner climb pool walls?
No, the Dolphin Nautilus AG is designed specifically to clean pool floors. It does not clean pool walls or the waterline during its cycle.

How long does a cleaning cycle take?
The cleaner completes a full cleaning cycle in 1.5 hours. You simply plug it in, place it in the pool, and turn it on to run.

How do you clean out the collected debris?
The vacuum utilizes a top-load filter basket system. You open the top of the unit, remove the filter basket, and empty the captured debris before placing it back inside.

What size pool is this cleaner designed for?
This model is built for above-ground pools up to 33 feet in length. Smart Navigation Technology scans your specific pool shape to map out an efficient cleaning route.
