Quick Answer: The Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro ($999 sale / $1,149 list, per Maytronics’ own US store) is a two-motor, two-brush robotic pool cleaner that slots between the Nautilus CC Plus (~$749) and the Nautilus CC Supreme ($1,149-$1,449) in Maytronics’ Nautilus CC lineup. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline of inground pools up to 50 ft, runs a 2-hour cycle, and connects to the MyDolphin Plus app over Wi-Fi. The catch: per Maytronics’ own product pages, the CC Pro carries the same 1-year warranty as the cheaper CC Plus — the extra ~$250 buys a second motor and brush, not more coverage.
The Nautilus CC Pro is the quietest member of Maytronics’ Nautilus CC family — it doesn’t show up in Maytronics’ own “CC vs CC Plus vs CC Supreme” marketing, and most third-party buying guides skip straight from the CC Plus to the CC Supreme without mentioning it. It is, however, a real, currently-sold SKU with its own listing (Maytronics model 99996207-PCI, distinct from the CC Plus’s 99996409-PCI). Here’s what it actually gets you.

Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
- Two motors and two scrubbing brushes clean floor, walls and waterline on pools up to 50 ft.
- Top-load dual-layer mesh filter — reusable, no cartridges to buy.
- Wi-Fi + MyDolphin Plus app for remote start and scheduling.
- 60 ft anti-tangle swivel cable, plug-and-play — no booster pump or hoses.
A robot this size usually ships freight — a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial can get it to your door by the weekend instead, and you can cancel before the trial ends if you don’t plan to keep it.
By the numbers
- Price gap to the CC Plus: At $999 sale, the CC Pro costs about $250 more than the Nautilus CC Plus’s $749, per Maytronics’ own US store pricing for both models.
- Motor count: The CC Pro runs two motors and two scrubbing brushes, versus the CC Plus’s single motor — a real hardware upgrade, not just a software or app difference.
- Warranty, unchanged across tiers: Maytronics’ own current product pages list a flat 1-year warranty on the CC Plus, CC Pro, and CC Supreme alike — down from the 2 to 2.5 years these Nautilus models carried previously, per cross-checked reporting from Poolbots and Maytronics’ own listings. Spending more within this family does not buy a longer warranty anywhere in the lineup today.
- Filtration design: The CC Pro’s dual-layer basket is described by Maytronics as a reusable mesh filter, distinct from the swappable Fine/Ultra-Fine cartridge system the CC Supreme ships with two of.
What it does well
A genuine mid-tier, not just a renamed CC Plus. Unlike some retailer-exclusive “Pro” rebrands found elsewhere in this market (WYBOT’s C2 Pro, for instance, is identical hardware to the base C2 under a different name), Maytronics’ own spec sheet confirms the Nautilus CC Pro really does add a second motor and brush over the CC Plus — a real, if modest, cleaning-power upgrade.
No cartridges to buy. The reusable dual-layer mesh filter means you rinse and reuse rather than restocking Fine or Ultra-Fine cartridges, a small ongoing-cost advantage over the CC Supreme’s cartridge system.
Same connectivity as pricier siblings. Wi-Fi and MyDolphin Plus app control come standard, matching the CC Supreme’s connectivity without the CC Supreme’s price tag.
Plug-and-play setup. Like the rest of the Nautilus CC family, it needs no booster pump, no hose hookup, and no plumbing changes — plug it in and drop it in the pool.
Where it falls short
- No warranty advantage over the cheaper CC Plus. This is the headline catch: both models carry Maytronics’ current 1-year warranty, so the CC Pro’s ~$250 premium buys hardware, not peace of mind.
- Suction gain is modest in practice. Two motors sound like a meaningful step up from one, but the CC Pro’s suction figure (4,000-4,500 GPH depending on source) sits close to what the single-motor CC Plus already delivers rather than approaching the CC Supreme’s clearly stronger 4,500 GPH three-motor system.
- No gyroscope navigation. Like every other Nautilus CC tier, it scans with the CleverClean pattern rather than mapping the pool the way the pricier Dolphin Sigma does.
- Barely covered anywhere. Maytronics’ own marketing materials and most third-party buying guides routinely skip from CC Plus straight to CC Supreme, which makes it hard to find independent lab test data on the CC Pro specifically — treat manufacturer-reported specs with that in mind until third-party testing catches up.
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro vs the alternatives
| Model | Motors | Filtration | Warranty | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nautilus CC Pro | 2 | Dual-layer reusable mesh | 1 year | $999-$1,149 |
| Nautilus CC Plus | 1 | Fine + Ultra-Fine baskets | 1 year | ~$749 |
| Nautilus CC Supreme | 3 | Fine + Ultra-Fine cartridges (2 included) | 1 year | $1,149-$1,449 |
| Dolphin Sigma | 3 | Oversized dual cartridges | 3 years | ~$1,499 |
Lined up against its own siblings, the CC Pro’s position is awkward: it costs more than the CC Plus without a warranty edge, and it costs close to the CC Supreme without matching the Supreme’s third motor or 4,500 GPH suction. Buyers who are already considering CC Supreme money are better served reading our Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme review, which explains why independent testers steer that budget toward the Dolphin Sigma instead — a caution that applies even more strongly to the CC Pro, which buys less suction for a similar price.

Who should buy the Nautilus CC Pro
Buy it if you specifically want a second motor’s worth of suction over the CC Plus, you’re set on staying within the Nautilus CC family, and you’d rather have a reusable mesh filter than swap cartridges. It’s a narrow case.
Look elsewhere if you want the best value for a standard inground pool (the cheaper Nautilus CC Plus, still our top pick), the strongest suction in this family (CC Supreme, though check the Sigma first), or a longer warranty than 1 year (step up to the Dolphin Premier or Dolphin Sigma, both at 3 years).

The bottom line
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro ($999 sale / $1,149 list) is a real, currently-sold Nautilus CC tier that most buying guides simply skip past. It does add genuine hardware over the cheaper CC Plus — a second motor and brush — but it doesn’t add warranty coverage, since Maytronics now backs the entire Nautilus CC line with a flat 1-year warranty regardless of tier. Unless faster suction specifically matters to you and you’ve already ruled out the CC Supreme or Sigma at a similar price, the CC Plus remains the smarter buy in this family. We rate it ★★★☆.
