The Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is part of the Nautilus™ (cordless) lineup — the cordless Nautilus with Wi-Fi app control and up to 2.5 hours of cleaning per charge.

Our verdict: the Dolphin Premier wins

The Dolphin Premier is our pick. As part of the ProLine™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 with floor + walls + waterline coverage, MultiMedia™ + NanoFilters™ filtration and a 3-year warranty.

The Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is the cheaper option at $899, but the step up to the Dolphin Premier buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
