Head-to-head
Dolphin Nautilus AG vs Ultenic Pooleco 10s: Pooleco carries lighter, both leave walls and waterline untouched
The short answer
Choose Nautilus AG when a permitted corded setup and a fixed floor-cleaning cycle fit the pool. Choose Pooleco 10s when a much lighter dry body, app controls and cable-free use matter more than recharge work. Neither covers walls or the waterline, and equal 90-minute headlines do not prove equal coverage.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
The same 90 minutes can mean different ownership work
Nautilus AG has a 90-minute powered cycle, while Pooleco 10s has a maximum 90-minute battery runtime followed by a listed 2.5-hour charge. Those are different measures, so neither has a proven cleaning-speed advantage. Choose the corded Dolphin when an approved power-supply position and cable route are straightforward and recharge pauses are undesirable. Choose Ultenic when removing the cable from the pool is more important. Both leave wall and waterline cleaning to another method.
What this is based on
A fixed program duration describes when the Dolphin cycle ends. The Ultenic figure describes a maximum battery duration. Coverage, debris and charge state can change what is completed within that time.

About this comparison
Compare Dolphin Nautilus AG and Ultenic Pooleco 10s for floor-only coverage, corded versus rechargeable use, app controls and dry lifting weight.
Choose between a corded above-ground floor cycle and a much lighter cordless platform with a recharge break, while keeping floor-only coverage clear.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
The same 90 minutes can mean different ownership work
Nautilus AG has a 90-minute powered cycle, while Pooleco 10s has a maximum 90-minute battery runtime followed by a listed 2.5-hour charge. Those are different measures, so neither has a proven cleaning-speed advantage. Choose the corded Dolphin when an approved power-supply position and cable route are straightforward and recharge pauses are undesirable. Choose Ultenic when removing the cable from the pool is more important. Both leave wall and waterline cleaning to another method.
How we reached this conclusion
A fixed program duration describes when the Dolphin cycle ends. The Ultenic figure describes a maximum battery duration. Coverage, debris and charge state can change what is completed within that time.
Dry weight favors Ultenic, but retrieval still needs a plan
Ultenic's listed 3.25 kg is about 7.17 lb, roughly 7.45 lb below Nautilus AG's published 14.619 lb dry weight. That makes Pooleco the stronger candidate when lifting a cleaner from a low pool edge is the main constraint. The comparison stops at dry weight. Retained water, debris, reach and grip alter the actual lift. Choose Dolphin when the corded routine matters more and its retrieval can be handled safely without lifting by the cable.
How we reached this conclusion
3.25 multiplied by 2.20462 gives 7.165 lb. Subtracting from 14.619 gives 7.454 lb. No filled, wet or force-at-pool-edge measurements were found.
The app does not make the cordless cleaner self-servicing
Pooleco 10s has the app function absent from Nautilus AG, which can matter if controls are a purchase requirement. It still needs owner retrieval and charging after the battery run. Choose the connected Ultenic for those controls with that routine understood, or Dolphin for a simpler corded cycle. Neither the app nor the fixed program disposes of collected pool debris or verifies that every part of the floor was cleaned.
How we reached this conclusion
Ultenic lists 10s-specific app functions and a 2.5-hour charge. Dolphin lists no app and a 90-minute powered floor cycle.

Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Use a corded 90-minute floor cycle
Choose Dolphin Nautilus AG. Avoid a between-run battery charge. The conservative technical-table pool limit is 30 feet.
Carry the published 3.25 kg dry body
Choose Ultenic Pooleco 10s. Use 10s app controls and cordless operation. Maximum runtime does not prove complete coverage in every pool.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Ultenic hardware specifications are published at 10-series platform level, with specific 10s app footnotes. Existing exact-ASIN identity evidence must travel with the page.
