Dolphin Nautilus Titan: what it gives up
- $1,599 with a one-year warranty is the costliest warranty-year among the Nautilus models
- 22.6 lb, about five pounds more than the CC Pro
- No cycle options beyond the two-hour default are listed
- In-ground only; the CC Pro and Explorer E50 are rated for above-ground pools as well
Dolphin Premier: what it gives up
- No app or remote at $2,499, when the $999 CC Pro has an app timer
- Filter opens from the bottom, so the robot has to be turned over to empty it
- $2,499 — the Explorer E50 has app control and a top-loading filter for about half
- In-ground only, while the cheaper E50 and S300 also take above-ground pools
