FEATURES
After going through the technical specifications of both the products, lets now have a brief glance at the various features that both Dolphin Nautilus and Dolphin Premier automatic robotic pool cleaners possess.
- EASY TO USE – One of the best things about the pool cleaner is that both of them are efficient and very easy to use.

Dolphin Premier weighs 37 pounds but it is fairly light that the user can pick it up and drop it to the pool. The user will have to affix the power cord to the power supply and then can plug in the power supply. The user will have to make sure that the cleaner sinks deep down in to the pool to turn the power supply on.
