Our verdict: the Dolphin Cayman wins

The Dolphin Cayman is our pick. As part of the Max-Series™ — one of our two top-recommended lineups — it steps ahead of the Dolphin T25 with floor + walls coverage, MaxBin™ filtration and a 2-year warranty.

The Dolphin T25 lists at a lower MSRP of $899, but the step up to the Dolphin Cayman buys a meaningfully better clean and longer coverage that's well worth it.
