The verdict

The CC Supreme adds waterline scrubbing and Wi-Fi to the Nautilus formula, but at about $1,450 it is hard to justify next to cordless robots that also clean the waterline for $700–$850. Consider it if you want a corded robot for a large pool and a Dolphin dealer behind you.

What we like

  • Cleans floor, walls and waterline — the CC Plus can't
  • Wi-Fi app scheduling from anywhere
  • Rated for pools up to 50 ft with Dual Drive steering
  • Never needs charging

Watch out for

  • About $1,450 — nearly double the CC Plus
  • Amazon rating of about 3.5 stars across ~1,200 reviews is lower than the cheaper Dolphins
  • Only a 1-year warranty at this price

  • Amazon lists this as a 2020 model. Newer Dolphin lines (such as the Nautilus CC Pro and Proteus) overlap it at similar prices.

Specs are compiled from manufacturer listings and independent reviews and may change between production runs. Pool robots are re-listed and re-badged often, so confirm on the Amazon page before buying.

The Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme is the top of the Nautilus corded range we track: a plug-in robot for in-ground pools up to 50 ft that adds Wi-Fi scheduling, Dual Drive steering and a waterline scrubber to the CC Plus formula. It costs about $1,450, weighs about 24.6 lbs on the listing, and averages 3.5 stars across roughly 1,200 reviews. The listing shows a 2020 model year.

Who the CC Supreme is for (and who should skip it)

It’s for you if you have a large in-ground pool, you’ve decided on a corded robot, and you want waterline scrubbing plus scheduling from your phone. Dual Drive steering is designed for tight corners.

Skip it if price matters: at $1,450 it costs nearly twice a CC Plus, and cordless robots like the AquaSense 2 (about $800–850) or Sora 30 (about $1,000) also clean the waterline. Skip it too if you want the best reviews: the lower 3.5-star average is a flag worth reading into.

What it cleans

Floor, walls and waterline. The waterline scrubber is the notable addition over the CC Plus; the robot keeps gripping the pool walls as it works. It does not skim the surface.

App and navigation

Wi-Fi lets you schedule cleanings from anywhere. Dual Drive gives more agile steering than the basic Nautilus models. There’s no listed weekly timer in the sources we checked, so if scheduling is your main reason to buy, confirm the feature on the listing.

Reliability and warranty

The 3.5-star average on about 1,200 reviews trails the cheaper Dolphins (CC 4.0, CC Plus 4.3, AG 4.4), and the warranty is a short 1 year per reviewers. Dolphin’s newer premium lines overlap this model at similar prices, so compare before you buy; see our corded vs cordless explainer.

Bottom line

The CC Supreme is a capable corded robot for large pools, but its price and ratings make it hard to recommend over either the CC Plus or a cordless alternative. Choose it only if you need corded power, a 50 ft rating and waterline scrubbing in one robot.
