The catch
Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme
At 24.63 pounds dry, it ranks among the heavier Dolphin options.
Side by side
Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme vs Advantage Pro Compared: Both share a three-zone brief, and Supreme adds finer-debris media
Quick verdict
With three brushes and its extra filter kit, the Supreme handles fine debris better. In a simpler package, the Advantage Pro delivers the same three-zone headline fit.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Where these two really part ways
Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme is the better match for “My pool collects fine dust, sand or dead algae” and “Heavy debris shows up often, so I need strong flow”. Dolphin Advantage Pro is the better match for “Pulling the robot out of the water has to be easy”.
Where this comes from
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
The catch
Dolphin Advantage Pro
A cable and a power supply on the deck are still required.

What this page compares
A premium filter-and-brush setup goes up against a lighter connected cleaner that covers the full line.
This one comes down to brushes and cycles first, then to the limits of your own setup.
Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
My pool collects fine dust, sand or dead algae
A fine-filter option is documented for it. Confirm that this exact filter is included, and follow the instructions for coarse cleanup and filter care.
- Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme
- Better fit
- Dolphin Advantage Pro
- Good
Heavy debris shows up often, so I need strong flow
The documented flow and collection setup bear on how it handles debris, but neither figure predicts how well it picks up or how long before you empty it.
- Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme
- Better fit
- Dolphin Advantage Pro
- Depends
I would like to empty the filter less often
Its larger nominal basket gives debris more room. When it needs attention depends on debris size, how loaded the filter gets and the cleaning mode.

- Better fit
- Dolphin Advantage Pro
- Depends
Pulling the robot out of the water has to be easy
A parking or retrieval feature can bring it to where you can reach it. Look for any time window, and for how much wet lifting is still left.

- Depends
- Dolphin Advantage Pro
- Better fit
Regular scrubbing is needed at the waterline
Both models list “Floor, walls, waterline” for cleaning zone. Both models show the same result for “Cleaning zone”, so this row won't decide between them.

How we worked this out
This lines up the current strong and useful fit ratings for the exact products. It does not roll them into one overall score.
These needs do not split the pair
Both meet the same 3 of the 3 needs this comparison is built around, so the choice comes down to “brushes” and “cycles”.
How we worked this out
Both products are checked against the same needs. The first verified differences still standing are named here.
Models that handle “My pool is large or nearly 50 feet” and “I want an app for controls and status”
10 of the 27 robot pool cleaners checked handle both “My pool is large or nearly 50 feet” and “I want an app for controls and status”. Both make the cut.
How we worked this out
You can reproduce the count by filtering the current category for models with a strong or useful fit on both needs.
Option A
Dolphin, 99991083-PC

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme | Dolphin Advantage Pro | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleaning zone | Floor, walls, waterline | Floor, walls, waterline | Both models show the same result for “Cleaning zone”, so this row won't decide between them. |
| Brushes | Three | Standard active-brush layout | Choose working parts that suit your material and your task. A component's name is no proof of a better result. |
| Cycles | 1.5 or 2.5 hours | Includes quick-clean option | How many steps fall to you and how much happens automatically both come down to this. |
| App | Yes | Yes | Both models show the same result for “App”, so this row won't decide between them. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme
- You still need a safe deck spot for the cable and power supply.
With Dolphin Advantage Pro
- Where the app helps most is scheduling and cycle control. It does not give live underwater video guidance.
