01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own
II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
Wi-Fi scheduling and 50 ft of range over the Nautilus CC, with no independent test yet of the CC Pro itself.
Pentair Warrior SE
Outlet siting is the constraint, not cable length. The 60 ft swivel cable runs from the power supply to the robot, but the supply must sit at least 12 feet from the pool edge on a GFCI-protected receptacle, and Pentair’s safety instructions state that an extension cord must not be used to connect it. A pool with no suitable outlet in reach needs one installed.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
- Buyers who want independent test results first
- Good Housekeeping and Bob Vila tested the Nautilus CC and CC Plus; no hands-on test of the CC Pro was found.
- Pools longer than 50 ft
- Maytronics rates the CC Pro for pools up to 50 ft in length.
- Owners who want a full-filter warning
- Maytronics' spec table lists no full filter indicator, so the top-access filter is checked by eye.
- Buyers wanting a longer warranty
- Maytronics lists a 1-year warranty for the Nautilus CC Pro.
Pentair Warrior SE
- Pools with heavy leaf or debris load
- Random search pattern means longer cycles and incomplete coverage during high-debris periods. Manual pre-skimming is required.
- Above-ground or small plunge pools
- Oversized for pools under 5,000 gallons. Power cord management becomes a constraint in compact setups.
- Owners needing app control or remote monitoring
- There is no WiFi and no mobile app. The power supply carries a built-in weekly timer with three LED-selected intervals: daily, every other day, and every third day. Anything past that, including status reporting away from the pool, is not available.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
- After every use: Lift the robot out and empty the top-access fine filter.
- As needed: Check the anti-tangle swivel cable for twists.
- As needed: Inspect the two standard brushes and replace them when worn.
- As needed: Update schedules in the MyDolphin Plus app when pool use changes.
- Seasonally: Rinse and store the robot and power supply out of the sun when the pool closes.
Pentair Warrior SE
- After every cleaning cycle: Lift out the top-loading filter basket, empty it and rinse the screens; the manual’s instruction is per cycle, not weekly. Remove the cleaner from the pool before anyone swims.
- Monthly: Inspect the dual brush assemblies for debris and wear, and check the swivel cable and the power supply’s line cord for cuts or abrasion. Do not operate with a damaged cord.
- Seasonally: Store the unit and the power supply indoors over winter, out of freeze and direct sun.
- As needed: Replace the brushes once the contact surfaces are worn through.
05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
