Buying guidance

Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 or Niya Tracker 15: our take

Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 and Niya Tracker 15 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

Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is intended for inground and above-ground pools, while Niya Tracker 15 is intended for above-ground pools. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is rated for pools up to 50 ft; Niya Tracker 15 is rated up to 20 ft. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 cleans floor, walls, and waterline; Niya Tracker 15 cleans floor. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100's documented cleaning system includes 2 active brushes and SmartMap navigation.

Filtration and debris

Both models include Basket.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Niya Tracker 15 provides one-touch starts and power-supply controls. Both use cordless battery power. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is listed at 22.1 lb versus 7.1 lb for Niya Tracker 15; that 15.000000000000002 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.

Price, warranty and the decision

Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 is listed at $899 and Niya Tracker 15 at $199; Niya Tracker 15 is $700 less. Each lists a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Dolphin Nautilus EON 100 and Niya Tracker 15 each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Cayman. Inground and above-ground pools up to 40 ft that need floor and wall cleaning.
