Buy Dolphin QuantumDolphin Nautilus Titan or Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300: our take
Dolphin Nautilus Titan and Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 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 Titan has a published maximum pool length of 50 ft; the other model does not have a verified length in our source material. Dolphin Nautilus Titan cleans floor, walls, and waterline; Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 cleans floor. Dolphin Nautilus Titan's documented cleaning system includes 2 active brushes and CleverClean navigation.
Filtration and debris
Dolphin Nautilus Titan has documented included filtration—Basket and UltraFilter—while the other model's included media is not fully published. That gives Dolphin Nautilus Titan the clearer documented edge for fine silt, pollen and sand. Dolphin Nautilus Titan also has the better documented path for bulky leaves and larger debris.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Dolphin Nautilus Titan provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 provides daily scheduling. Dolphin Nautilus Titan uses continuous corded power, while Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 uses a 60 ft corded cable. Dolphin Nautilus Titan is listed at 22.6 lb versus 18 lb for Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300; that 4.600000000000001 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.
Price, warranty and the decision
Dolphin Nautilus Titan is listed at $1,599 and Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 at $1,393.60; Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 is $205.40 less. Dolphin Nautilus Titan and Polaris 9300 Sport Pool Cleaner F9300 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.
