The Dolphin Escape is our pick. As part of the Max-Series™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin Nautilus CC with floor only coverage, MaxBin™ filtration and a 2 years warranty.
The Dolphin Nautilus CC is the cheaper option at $599, but the step up to the Dolphin Escape buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
