Polaris VRX iQ+ Robotic Pool Cleaner vs Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus

The Polaris VRX iQ+ is the smarter, more capable cleaner: app control, Wi-Fi, seven cleaning modes, a 5L illuminated canister, four-wheel drive and a caddy. The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is the simpler, lighter, more proven machine with a weekly timer and a fine filter kit, and reviewers consistently call it easy to set up and good at climbing walls. Pick the Polaris if you want remote scheduling and spot cleaning; pick the Dolphin if you want a no-frills cleaner that just runs.

• Choose the Polaris VRX iQ+ if you want app scheduling, spot cleaning and water temperature from your phone, and your in-ground pool is up to 60 ft.
• Choose the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus if you want a lighter, simpler robot with a weekly timer and a fine filter, and you don't need Wi-Fi.
