Our verdict: the Dolphin Quantum Pro wins

The Dolphin Quantum Pro is our pick. As part of the Max-Series™ / ProLine™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin Nautilus EON 120D with floor + walls + waterline + steps coverage, XXL MaxBin™ + NanoFilters™ filtration and a 2-year warranty.

The Dolphin Nautilus EON 120D is the cheaper option at $1199, but the step up to the Dolphin Quantum Pro buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
