Dolphin Cayman

P Pool Express Brian Williamson · reviewer

The Dolphin Cayman is by far the best upgrade to the Escape. It builds on the Escape and adds a host of features that just makes owning a pool easier. Perfect for inground and above-ground pools up to 33ft, the Dolphin Cayman has a 36ft cord.

But we don't think it should be so overlooked, as it provides great performance as it vacuumed our pool with ease. It offers great performance for an in-ground or above ground robotic pool cleaner.

Dolphin Cayman — the best-value inground step up. It adds real wall climbing, a built-in weekly timer, and NanoFiltration, all backed by a 2 year warranty . Read the full Dolphin Cayman review .

Our pick is the Dolphin Cayman, with a lower price tag, same cleaning coverage, easier to clean MaxBin (compared to Nautilus CC Plus filter cartridges), and even an optional NanoFilter - the Dolphin Cayman is a no brainer.

For an affordable robotic pool cleaner, the Dolphin Cayman has a ton of features you’d find on units that cost twice as much. From wall-climbing to active scrubbing, see how the Cayman performs beyond its price tag.

I’ve run this cleaner non-stop since March 2023 — and despite a few minor issues, I’d still buy it again today.

The Dolphin Cayman is a hidden gem. If you want powerful suction, true automation, and easy maintenance without paying ProLine prices, this robot hits the sweet spot.

Both had a spot on my video for the best robotic pool cleaner of the year, and you should consider both. But which is a better robot? After testing both with a monometer, I'm going to dig in and help you figure out if either of these robots is right for you. Let me say this right up front. I like both of these robots. Both are fantastic.

If you’re budget-minded, go Cayman. If you want more power, a bigger debris basket, true waterline scrubbing, and an anti-tangle swivel, the Quantum is worth the upgrade.

In practice, the brush does a decent job on the usual greenish algae films and on mineral deposits that tend to build up near the skimmer. If you've ever tried a traditional suction cleaner and watched it slip over the tiled edge without ever really making contact, you'll notice that the Cayman's brush actually presses against the surface thanks to its low center gravity design.

Overall, the Dolphin Cayman is super impressive. It works with any in-ground, above ground pool, including vinyl, gunite, fiberglass, and more. With it's strong brush, tracks, and SmartNav technology, it covers the pool floors and walls with ease and vacuums all debris, leaves, algae, and more into its filter basket.

While the Active 20 remains a reliable workhorse for easy maintenance, the Dolphin Cayman takes the lead with its programmable weekly timer and advanced energy efficiency, making it the smarter choice for automated, hands-free pool care.

First off, the biggest practical strength is the Hyperbrush. Traditional suction cleaners often glide over the surface and miss the gritty film that clings to the wall, especially after a hot summer when calcium deposits become a nightmare. The Cayman's brush spins at a higher RPM than most entry-level robots.

I've seen owners drop the unit in, let it run a full cycle, and come back to a wall that looks noticeably brighter without having to spend an hour with a pool brush. That's the sort of practical win that matters when you're juggling a job, kids, and a backyard that should be a place to relax, not a maintenance zone.
