The Aiper Seagull SE is less than half the price of the Nautilus and cordless.

We tested theDolphin Nautilus CC Plusin an in-ground pool at home for several weeks.
It left our testing pool spotlesseliminating sand, silt, and leavesand even managed to climb steep 90-degree walls.
you could even schedule weekly cleaning sessions for hands-free and almost effortless maintenance all pool season long.

We recommend having an extension cord for larger pools or those farther from an outlet.
Not to be outdone, theAiper Seagull SEhas impressive cleaning capabilities as a smaller and more affordable robotic model.
Then, similar to the Dolphin, you simply press the power button to operate.

The Aiper has a quick cleaning time of 90 minutes.
The cordless design allows it to roam your pool freely without becoming tangled or caught on anything.
We have to empty the filler basket and clear clogs regularly.

But, for the price, this is an amazing choice.
Both models also have handles to make dropping them into the pool slightly easier.
The Aiper has two smaller sweeper brushes that are located on the sides of the robot.
The Spruce
They both only have one button to power them on.
The Dolphin may be more disruptive to play because of its cord.
We also didnt note any debris that the Dolphin couldnt handle.
Plus, it can clean the walls of a pool.
If we didnt empty it, the Aiper would slow down.
So, Who Is The Winner of This Head to Head?
We tested this pool cleaner for four months and never ran into any issues.
Plus, it became even better at mapping our pool as we continued to use it.
So Who Is the Aiper Seagull SE For?
The Aiper Seagull SE certainly has its merits as a cordless pool cleaner.
Just be prepared to be diligent about charging it and emptying its filter basket.
