Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus EON 100

Name: Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus EON 100
Brand: Maytronics

Cordless operation removes the cable and the deck-side power supply from the routine. SmartMap navigation covers floor, walls, water line, steps, benches and corners in pools up to 50 feet, and the unit also works in water as shallow as 8 inches. Whole-pool coverage with shallow-water reach added, not traded away.

Autonomy Ladder

Why Level III.

One five-rung scale, every category, from acting only on command to working unsupervised anywhere.

VGeneralized AutonomyAny task, any setting. No consumer robot has reached it.
IVEnvironmental AutonomyCopes with everyday clutter and frees itself, shown by independent testing.
To reach Level IVIndependent testing shows it avoids ordinary obstacles before contact, copes without the space being cleared, and frees itself when stuck.
IIIConditional AutonomyThis robot

Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 finishes whole jobs in a space it already knows, and still needs a person at the edges.

Navigation and control

SmartMap Navigation; cleaning path tailored to pool shape across floor, walls, water line, steps, benches and corners.
Why this level
- SmartMap navigation builds a cleaning path tailored to the pool's shape and covers floor, walls, water line, steps, benches and corners in pools up to 50 feet without operator steering.
- Self-directed coverage of a defined environment qualifies as Level III, Conditional Autonomy.
- Placing the unit in the water, lifting it out and charging it remain human tasks, and coverage reliability over a full season is not yet established by owner data.

Robovations Score

Why the score is withheld

Not scored

The Robovations Score is withheld on this record. It is not a low score, and it is not an oversight.

Why

Our assessment did not establish an independent source for 5 of the nine inputs: task completion, coverage and navigation, edge-case recovery, operating envelope, field failure rate.

The full assessment note

That leaves nothing measured in its capability. A score missing a whole pillar would not describe the machine, so no number is published.

What would change it

An independent account of its task completion that we have verified.
An independent account of its coverage and navigation that we have verified.

OWNERSHIP

Living with it.

CES-demo cordless platform with no shipping units; track record unproven.

Maytronics has shipped cordless Dolphin models (Nautilus series); battery-integrated architecture for ledge-cleaning is new. Firmware iteration path and owner-reported failure modes pending consumer units.

Owner effort~50 minhands-on per month

Reliability trendUnprovenowner-reported arc

What goes wrong · not yet documented independently

The independent record is still forming. Failure modes are listed once an outside source reports them.

Upkeep routine

Weekly52×/yr

Filter cartridge inspection and rinse; light debris removal from intake grill.

Monthly12×/yr

Brush bristle check for wear; water quality test if algae or buildup visible.

Seasonal4×/yr

Cordless dock cleaning; battery conditioning check; brush pad replacement (~$30-50 estimated).

Yearly1×/yr

Safety notes

CautionCordless dock power proximity: Dock electrical connections require poolside clearance. Keep children and pets away during charging.

NoteShallow-water design scope: EON 100 operates in tanning-ledge zones only. Do not deploy in deep basins; suction and navigation untested beyond 8-inch depth.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

6 answered

OperationDoes the Dolphin EON 100 clean the deep end if my pool has one?

Yes. The 8 inches is a minimum operating depth, not a maximum. Maytronics lists cleaning coverage as floor, steps, sun ledge, walls, water line, corners and safety ledge in pools up to 50 feet, and a low-mounted impeller with JetIQ jets is what lets the unit also work in water as shallow as 8 inches. Deep-basin floor and wall cleaning is baseline coverage, not an exclusion.

OperationHow long does the battery last per charge?

Maytronics publishes both. Cleaning cycles are selectable at 1.5, 2 or 2.5 hours, and the UltraRun battery is stated to cover up to a week of pool cleaning on a single charge.

OwnershipWhat routine maintenance is required for cordless operation?

Manufacturer guidance on battery care, filter cleaning, and brush wear pending shipping units. Corded models rely on cable-swivel inspection; cordless systems typically require seasonal dock maintenance and battery cycling checks.

OperationDoes it handle algae blooms or heavy pollen buildup?

Pre-treatment recommended. Heavy algae and leaf load typically require manual skimming before any robotic cleaner operates efficiently; the mapping system cannot replace pre-cleanup on heavily contaminated pools.

OperationCan the EON 100 be stored outdoors year-round?

Pool cleaner winterization practices apply. Battery degradation in freezing temperatures and UV exposure to cordless batteries require seasonal storage indoors; corded models have longer weather tolerance due to dock-based power supply.

OwnershipWhat warranty does Maytronics include with the EON 100?

Warranty terms not published. Standard Maytronics coverage applies to cordless Dolphin models; full details pending release material from authorized retailers.
