Just lost my robot early March. Bought it from Amazon March 2017, Died March 2024. Just got the call from local repair store, new power cord and motor is needed: $680. I think I rather just buy new.

But anyway, now that I am in the market for a new one, I am leaning towards buying the same exact model since it served me so well. I know that it doesn't guarantee me another 7+ years, but it left my pool spotless. $800 on Amazon

But its been 7 years and I haven't kept up with new things, so I am wondering what you guys recommend. And since I'm leaning to buying the same one for $800, then thats my budget.

A good read.

New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

About a month ago I needed a new robot pool cleaner and I contacted Margaret at Marina Pool and Spa. My initial goal was to buy another S200 "style" robot as I have been happy with them so far. Margaret suggested that I might want to look at a new line of robot cleaners that Marina is now...

Ansem,

Keep us informed on what you decide to do. I have had my Nautilus CC Plus forever too. Since I have never had a different robot, I have nothing to compare it to. If you decide to switch, it would be nice to hear what you think compared to your old Nautilus.

+1 to keeping us posted whichever way you go, and how it turns out. I've been square on the robot fence for 2 years and appreciate any/all reports. Many others will too. TIA. :)

You are going to kick yourself for waiting so long once you get one. It is one of those things like a SWG that you do not realize how nice it is to have one until you actually have it.

Oh I'm fully on board with the convienence. But I only have to manually vac 8 times a season and with short seasons, the robot will need replacing every 20 to 25 times at the apparent current lifespans. It's not worth $40 to $50 a pop. Yet. Lol.
 
I went with the same model! After a few dozen you tube videos, the Nautilus CC plus is still the best bang for your buck. I really wanted the M400 model, but did not want to dish out $1400 for one.

Im also interest in the cordless from Maytronics Liberty series. I think the tech is still new, so I passed, but maybe by the time my 2nd dolphin dies, the tech will be better and cheaper.
 
Right now Amazon has the Dolphin Nautilus CC plus with caddy on sale for $597...darn tempting at that price. I probably won't pull the trigger though, as my old Dolphin Nautilus is still chugging along.

SWEET find !!!!! Thanks for ruining my Saturday with a decision I didn't need to agonize over today. :poke:

Funny that the robot with no caddy is $800.

Great thread. Thanks.

My Nautilus Dolphin CC Plus is dead (I think it died at the end of last season) and will not power on at all. Power box lights up but nothing happens with the robot. Purchased May 2021, so out of that 2.5 year warranty.

Don't remember how many years I've had it, but I've not used a caddy. Instead I've just coiled the cable just off the pool skirt/deck and set the robot atop it.

What are the advantages to having a caddy?

Thanks -

Quick update:

I called Maytronics. They have graciously offered to extend our warranty to cover the Nautilus Dophin CC Plus.

They also sent a much more detailed trouble shooting plan (see below) than is provided in any user manual I could find.

To wit:

Thank you for contacting Maytronics Customer Care. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your DOLPHIN NAUTILUS CC PLUS CB. To help resolve your issue, please review the following steps and information listed below.

Please do not use an extension cable since it can affect the electrical current reaching the Power Supply or the motor.
1. Disconnect the Power Supply from the outlet.

2. Disconnect the blue cable and inspect both the cable and the prongs for any signs of damage.

3. Check the Blue Cable swivel for black marks or rings. This step does not apply to all Dolphin models.

4. Make sure the filters, the impeller, vents, if applicable, and the intake at the bottom of the robot are clean and free of any debris.
(CAUTION: the 3 blades are very sharp)

5. Follow this link (https://youtu.be/Qt8sU-3zeq8) to confirm that the Dolphin motor has not shifted during transit or cycles.

6. Place the robot upside down out of the water and rotate the brushes and tracks.

7. Confirm that the brushes and tracks rotate freely in both directions with minimal resistance and no clicking or popping noises.

8. Connect the Power Supply directly to the GFI outlet with the robot upside down.

9. The brushes and tracks will rotate forward and backward before stopping when the robot detects it is out of water.

10. Disconnect the power supply from the outlet for 10-15 seconds, place the robot in the pool, reconnect it, and turn it on to start a cleaning cycle.
