Why it matters

Dolphin Sigma vs Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus: how they compare

The Dolphin Sigma is part of the ProLine™ lineup — the most advanced Dolphin ever, with a gyroscope and app control. It cleans pools up to 50 ft with floor + walls + waterline coverage and NanoFilters™ filtration, backed by a 3-year warranty.

The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is part of the Nautilus™ lineup — dual brushes and a heavy-duty tangle-free cable. It handles pools up to 33 ft with floor + walls coverage and Cartridge filtration, backed by a 1-year warranty.

Our verdict: the Dolphin Sigma wins

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

The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is the cheaper option at $849, but the step up to the Dolphin Sigma buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
