Buy Dolphin QuantumDolphin Liberty 300 or Dolphin Nautilus EON 100: our take
Dolphin Liberty 300 and Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 are compared on pool fit, cleaning reach, debris handling, controls and ownership details. The recommendation is based on the job the robot must do—not a simple feature count.
Pool fit and cleaning reach
Both robots are intended for inground and above-ground pools. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 has a published maximum pool length of 50 ft; the other model does not have a verified length in our source material. Dolphin Liberty 300 cleans floor and walls; Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 cleans floor, walls, and waterline. Dolphin Liberty 300 lists Dual DC motors. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 lists 2 active brushes and SmartMap navigation.
Filtration and debris
Dolphin Liberty 300 includes Basket and UltraFilter; Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 includes Basket. That gives Dolphin Liberty 300 the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Dolphin Liberty 300 provides no fully published timer, app or remote specification; Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control. Both use cordless battery power.
Price, warranty and the decision
Dolphin Liberty 300 is listed at $1,099 and Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 at $899; Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is $200 less. Dolphin Liberty 300 lists a 2-year warranty compared with 1 years for Dolphin Nautilus EON 100. Dolphin Liberty 300 and Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Quantum. Inground pools up to 50 ft that need floor, wall and waterline cleaning, with fine debris.
