With its top-access filter compartment, simply lift the Cayman’s top hatch and grab the handle for easy removal and routine filter clean up. Cleaning has never been faster or easier. Serious tracks mean no more lost traction or wasted energy. Dolphin’s engineers hold themselves to the highest standards of efficiency.

Weighing in at only 14 lbs, Cayman is up to 30% lighter than old style robotic pool cleaners. Designed to be easy to handle, efficient, and capable of delivering a new level of clean. Powering the new Cayman are dual 24-volt DC motors designed to slash energy costs. Traditional robots can use up to 1800 watts of power, but Cayman delivers a deep clean at 90% less energy use.

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a pool vacuum that significantly reduces manual cleaning effort, the Dolphin Cayman may be a great investment. Its ability to handle various types of debris and automate the cleaning process comes with high marks. However, potential buyers should be aware of the possible mechanical issues and the device's limitations in climbing and cleaning certain areas of the pool. If these cons are manageable and you value the time and effort saved, this product could be a fitting choice for your pool maintenance needs.


Very good robot
I replaced a 7 year old Dolphin with this Dolphin Cayman., which is very similar. My pool had accumulated alot of small debris from a storm, and a kid party while I waited for the new one to arrive. The new one arrived today and within three hours of use, the pool was completely clean, including the walls, which it climbed with ease.. The newer model basket is much better than the two filter setup I replaced, easier to clean and restart. No issue with the seller at all, the box was undamaged and the product was well packed. Happy with the purchase, and I'll bet if I treat it better than I treated the last one, I'd expect it too clean the pool for the next 10 years or longer. ... show more

13 months and running strong
It is picking up a lot from the pool. Even small dirt when I use the super fine filter, which I think is a must. Today sent her to work harder because of the gale wind and without the screen pool that is been replaced it was a massacre in the pool. It did a great job but the wind still sending more leaves. No complain. I hope it last. I clean it thoroughly after each run and store inside * update July 2024... it has been 7 months and still is running strong. It already paid by itself as I fired the pool guy before getting it. With the super fine filter it really helps me to keep algae out of the pool, leaves, sand from the pavers, and whatever fall in the pool. I'm actually cleaning now the pool filter every 3 weeks instead of weekly and the pool is sparkling clean. I ran out once or twice daily in the pool. Very happy with the purchase. *** update 1/26/2025 still running strong! Since I fired the pool guy when I purchased it more than a year ago, it had long ago paid by itself. Now I leave her in the pool everyday never remove it, I only use the micro filter and clean it now every month. I turn it on everyday, it's starting to show a bit of decoloration from the pool chlorine but I have never had an issue. I clean my pool filter now every month or so. Nov 12, 2025... still working perfectly with the same filter from 2 years ago. Now it lives in the pool, I only take it out when people goes in the pool or to clean the unit. I press the button to start it every day. Very Happy customer here. Update September 2026: almost 3 years, the cable is dropping a lot of plastic dust, will need to be replaced... almost $300 in the manufacturer... the belt keeps popping out almost every 3 days and the cover for the wheel already lost a teeth and keep falling... still with that the robot keeps cleaning, but I think is time to get a replacement. A new unit around $500 makes good sense. Almost 3 years not paying anyone to clean the pool and living in the depth of the pool everyday. I think it did good. If parts were cheaper I'll keep it running. ... show more

Fix for cord curling up
Ok so when I bought this there were several negative reviews about the cord curling up and not allowing the cleaner to reach its full distance potential in pool. As others mine worked good for a little while then it curled and did the same. The reason for this is the copper wiring inside the cord once it curls and reforms the copper wiring it WILL NOT straighten out. I tried a few things to fix, pool noodles, flecks hose etc. the ultimate fix I found is a water hose taped to power cord in cleaner. As in my pics you can see how I assembled it with the hose also adding 12” pieces of floating noodle foam every 4’. Water hose will not float fyi. I’ve had this design going for about 4 weeks now with absolutely zero issues. Finally fixed. ... show more

Find Another Pool Robot!
To say that I was sorely disappointed in this pool cleaner is a massive understatement. I purchased this “2025” model thinking it would be a nice latest dolphin pool cleaner model, after trying out the Nautilus CC Pro with WiFi which died after one use. This model actually costs more, yet has ZERO app connectivity like the nautilus did. This model is a complete rip off, and has actually increased in cost since I purchased it. You’re paying more money for a micro filter and allegedly having a better scrub brush on the front, and being more energy efficient. Here’s how it actually panned out for me: - it constantly does wheelies across the pool (see video). This happened at least 50% of the time and always when it moves forward rendering the scrubbing brush useless. It also doesn’t pick up debris like this. Meaning your clean time is cut down in half as it runs on a timer. - constantly falls off the walls. This thing constantly falls and gets stuck in my curvy pool. It causes the unit to sometimes damage itself falling because it’s so bad - due to the above, it rarely ever cleans the water line tiles. It just can’t keep itself on the walls. - couldn’t climb stairs at all. While it doesn’t say it will, cheaper models from other brands have done this successfully in my pool. - zero app connectivity, even for a more expensive 2025 model. So despite its issues not cleaning well, you can’t even run it again without manually pressing the power station button. - the power station has several other buttons/options on it which are all not available on this unit. All you can set is a schedule to have it clean every one 1/2/3 days. That’s it. Literally zero other options, and useless buttons on the module. - when taking it out of the pool, the cleaner dropped nearly half of what it collected back in the pool! I couldn’t believe it. The filter basket wasn’t even close to being full, yet dumped the debris all right back in my pool. Even Dolphin’s own customer service was confused by the cost and lack of features, and admitted the naming conventions of their robots are very confusing. When they couldn’t resolve the wheelies, they resort to saying my pool chemicals are causing the issue. Get out of here! Other cleaners (including the nautilus) don’t do that! I also have an experienced pool maintenance person that comes by weekly testing the water and regulating it. They also said the same power station is used by several dolphin cleaners, and those “extra” buttons on the cayman were useless as it doesn’t include those functions. So again, more money, less features, less effective, 2025 model…. I honestly was so disappointed by this thing and am trying to help those of you looking for a pool robot cleaner. It’s a lot of money, and this one isn’t it! They also try to hit you with fees when trying to return. It’s a nightmare. I also made the mistake of watching YouTube review by the “pool nerd” who is 100% biased towards Dolphin products. They’re all the best thing ever with his only “negative” comments being that one model has more features over another. And all other brands he reviews are trash. Yeah right. And don’t believe that you need to have a cord for more power. The GPH is the truth in that, and I currently have a wireless battery powered unit that cost way less than this and is far more powerful. ... show more

Great pool cleaner
Great so far. We received this a few weeks ago, and it is very easy to use and does a great job. The only issue that we have seen is in the bottom corner of the deep end of the pool. The cleaner had not been able to get the corner debris yet, but it is a weird angle. Apart from that, it is great to use. Drop in the pool and forget about it. ... show more

Best :home improvement" device I've bought in a while...
Florida pool owner here. My pool is not screened in and since I got this Dolphin Cayman, my pool has never been so clean. For the last several years I suffered through using a suction side vacuum cleaner that was here when I bought the house, constantly dealing with it getting stuck on the main drain or halfway up a wall. I did a lot of research and pulled the trigger on this robot. Now, I have my skimmer back and I don't spend more than 5 minutes a day keeping the pool perfect when I used to spend 20-30 minutes daily raking and skimming leaves and other debris. I have it set to run at 5:30 a.m. everyday so I wake up to a spotless pool every morning. It's only been 10 days since I got this but I am loving it so far. ... show more

Moderate performance
When it worked, it sucked up a lot of dirt from my pool. But it also would shut off the schedule randomly, for some reason, a total dealbreaker. Also, it seemed to hit the same paths through the pool over and over, possibly even damaging my Pebbletec surface in those over-worn paths. We returned it after a couple weeks of trying, and noticed in that little time some parts were starting to wear out already. I cannot imagine this lasting more than a year for most people. No idea what to try next, I really needed this to work.. ... show more

Worthless Dolphin
Let me list the problems…cord is twisted constantly and prevents dolphin from extending full length or any length of pool. Have spent countless times trying to slowly manually untwist. Flips over on any slight incline. So if you have ANY change in depth; good luck. Our pool slants deeper in the middle so it never gets to other side and we have to manually remove and put on other side. We had an older model of this dolphin and loved it. Lasted years. Never tipped over. Cartridges were harder to clean on each side, but at least it did the job ; this one the center cartridge is easier to clean, but it’s worthless when it comes to cleankng. I have to run this at least 3 to 4 times and still have dirt in the corners. Paid more money and so disappointed. Never worked from the beginning. ... show more
