Dolphin standard features
There are some standard capabilities that come with all Dolphin robotic pool cleaners regardless of the size of the pool that you have. For instance, all Dolphin pool cleaners come with a power supply, a cable that connects to the robot, and the robot itself. Because the robot has its own filtering system and uses efficient motors, the cost to run these units is minimal.
Dolphin pool cleaners are extremely easy to use - simply drop the pool cleaner into the pool, plug the power supply into an electrical outlet, press the power button and the unit will begin the cleaning cycle.

Every Dolphin pool cleaner has electronics in it that provides sophisticated algorithms for mapping and cleaning the swimming pool. It is recommended that you drop the pool cleaner close to the center of the pool as it begins the cleaning process for optimal cleaning coverage.

Since every Dolphin pool cleaner has its own filtering capabilities, it is independent of any of the swimming pool equipment. The Dolphin collects the debris, you hose off the debris from the filters, and you are ready for the next cleaning!

Dolphin E10 vs. Dolphin Nautilus CC feature comparison
Dolphin pool cleaners by Maytronics are simply the best robotic pool cleaners on the market today. Both the Dolphin E10 and Dolphin Nautilus CC are two of the top sellers that we sell. Since we often help customers that are comparing these two models, our comparison article is focused on highlighting the differences between the two so that an informed decision can be made regarding any feature and/or price differential.
Both the Dolphin E10 and the Dolphin Nautilus CC pool cleaners are designed for smaller swimming pools. One of the primary differences between the Dolphin E10 and Nautilus CC is that while the Nautilus CC can clean both the floors and walls of a swimming pool, the E10 is specifically designed for above ground pools. At Pool Partz, our customer support team often gets inquiries as to whether the Nautilus CC can be used in an above ground pool. The answer to this question really depends on the slope (otherwise known as the cove) that exists between floor of swimming pool and the walls. If there is sufficient slope, the Nautilus CC is then capable of climbing the walls.
There are several other features that differ between the Dolphin E10 and the Dolphin Nautilus CC. Since the E10 is designed for pools up to 30 feet in length, the cable that comes with the unit is 40 feet in length. The Nautilus CC, since it's designed for pools up to 33 feet in length, has a longer cable of 50 feet. Because the Nautilus CC can accomodate a slightly larger pool and that it can climb and clean the walls, the cycle time (the time it takes for one cleaning cycle) is 2 hours versus 1.5 hours for the Dolphin E10.
Because the Nautilus CC is a slightly more advanced pool cleaner than the E10, the Nautilus CC also has a weekly timer feature. This feature allows you to keep the pool robot in the pool and have it automatically clean every day, every other day, or every third day up to one week. Please note that manufacturer does not recommend having the pool cleaner in the swimming pool while the swimming pool is in use - the weekly timer feature allows the pool to be cleaned for up to one week while not in use.
To summarize the comparison between the Dolphin E10 and the Dolphin Nautilus CC, the major differences between the two models are as follows:
Pool type - while the Dolphin E10 only cleans the floors and is designed for above ground pools up to 30 feet in length, the Nautilus CC is designed for small in ground swimming pools up to 33 feet in length.
Pool surfaces - The Dolphin E10 only cleans the floors of the pool. The more advanced Nautilus CC, however, will clean both the floors and the walls.
Weekly timer - A weekly timer function on the power supply allows you to run the robot at predefined intervals. Models with this feature can automatically clean the pool every day, every other day or every third day for up to one week. The E10 does not come with this feature while the more advanced Dolphin CC has this feature.
