Our verdict: the Dolphin Cayman gets the edge
Both robots come from the Max-Series™ — one of Dolphin's two top-recommended lineups — so either is an excellent buy. For most pools we give the slight edge to the Dolphin Cayman: the best-value Max-Series™ performer with a weekly timer, for in-ground or above-ground pools.
