Robotic pool cleaners are designed to alleviate the time-consuming task of pool maintenance. While budget-friendly options may lack automation and result in inadequate cleaning, investing in a reliable robotic pool cleaner can save time and potentially replace the need for costly professional cleaning services. Despite not being fully automated, robotic pool cleaners require minimal manual input compared to traditional pool cleaning methods, and models like the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus offer efficient cleaning of floors and walls with a user-friendly top-loading filter for quick maintenance.
