Buying guidance

Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d or Niya Tracker 25: our take

Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d and Niya Tracker 25 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 120d is intended for inground and above-ground pools, while Niya Tracker 25 is intended for above-ground pools. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d is rated for pools up to 50 ft; Niya Tracker 25 is rated up to 26 ft. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d cleans floor, walls, and waterline; Niya Tracker 25 cleans floor. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d lists 2 active brushes and SmartMap navigation. Niya Tracker 25 lists Sonar navigation and Brushless motors.

Filtration and debris

Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d includes Basket and UltraFilter; Niya Tracker 25 includes Basket. That gives Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Niya Tracker 25 provides one-touch starts and power-supply controls. Both use cordless battery power. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d is listed at 24.3 lb versus 10 lb for Niya Tracker 25; that 14.3 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.

Price, warranty and the decision

Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d is listed at $1,199 and Niya Tracker 25 at $379; Niya Tracker 25 is $820 less. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d lists a 1-year warranty compared with 1.5 years for Niya Tracker 25. Dolphin Nautilus EON 120d and Niya Tracker 25 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.
