The all-new Aquabot Rapids 2000 cleans your pool floor, walls, and waterline. With an included caddy and remote control, cleaning has never been easier.
The Aquabot Rapids 2500 robotic pool cleaner paves the way with waterline cleaning, remote control, and caddy. Clean like never before.
Designed for use in fountains, wading pools, and reflection pools, with the capability to function in water as shallow as 8 inches
Wall climbing. Weekly timers. Strong suction. Real automation. This is where it all comes together.
The under-$1,500 range is where most pool owners should land. You get the features that actually matter — wall climbing for complete coverage, a weekly timer for true set-it-and-forget-it automation, HyperBrush scrubbing, and strong enough suction to handle everyday dirt and debris. This is no longer a compromise — it's a real pool-cleaning machine.
At this price, you can clean inground pools up to approximately 33 feet with confidence. Coverage matters — a robot that can't reach every wall and corner of your pool leaves behind bacteria, algae, and debris that your main filter has to handle. The Dolphin Cayman is purpose-built for this exact scenario: floors, walls, and everything in between.
A weekly timer transforms your pool robot from a tool into an appliance. Set it once, and the robot cleans your pool on schedule — every day, every other day, or once a week. You don't have to remember. You don't have to be home. Your pool is simply always clean.
This is the single most impactful feature you gain at the $1,500 price point. Every robot below this range requires manual operation. At $1,500, you get true "set it and forget it" — and once you have it, you'll never go back.
Dollar for dollar, the Dolphin Cayman is the best value in the entire Dolphin lineup. Here's what you get:
Compare that feature set to anything else at this price. Nothing comes close.
Shop Dolphin CaymanMany pool robots vacuum — but vacuuming only picks up loose debris. The real cleaning happens with the brush. The HyperBrush™ on the Dolphin Cayman actively scrubs the pool surface, breaking up biofilm, algae, and stuck-on grime that suction alone can't touch.
Think of it like this: vacuuming your carpet picks up crumbs, but scrubbing removes stains. Your pool needs both — and at this price point, you get both.
The Cayman is excellent for its price, but stepping up to the $2,000 range unlocks features that some pool owners need:
Wall climbing, weekly timer, HyperBrush, MaxBin™ — the Cayman delivers the features that matter most at a price that makes sense. This is the robot we recommend to most pool owners, and it's the one we'd buy for ourselves.
Shop Dolphin CaymanIf you want waterline cleaning, NanoFiltration™, and an XXL MaxBin™ for even less maintenance, the Dolphin Quantum is the next step up. It sits in the $1,500–$2,000 range and delivers the most complete cleaning experience short of premium models.

Consider upgrading beyond $1,500 if any of the following apply:
The Dolphin Cayman is our top pick under $1,500. It offers wall climbing, a weekly timer, HyperBrush scrubbing, and a MaxBin™ top-loading filter — the best combination of features and value at this price point.
Yes. The jump from $1,000 to $1,500 adds wall climbing, weekly timers, and better navigation — three features that dramatically change the pool cleaning experience. At $1,000, you're still doing manual floor cleaning. At $1,500, your pool cleans itself.
Robots in this range handle moderate leaf debris well, especially with a MaxBin™ filter. For pools with heavy leaf loads from surrounding trees, the $2,000 range offers larger filters and stronger suction designed specifically for heavy debris environments.
Waterline cleaning scrubs the tile or vinyl at the water's surface — where oils, minerals, and bacteria concentrate. If you notice a visible ring or discoloration at your waterline, a robot with waterline cleaning (available from $1,500–$2,000+) will keep it clean automatically.
