Who the Dolphin Max-Series™ Lineup Suits

Pick the Max-Series™ when you want current Dolphin technology without paying for ProLine™ motors. The Escape is the above-ground pick, the Cayman the best value for inground floors and walls, and the Quantum the step up with waterline cleaning, the XXL MaxBin™ and NanoFilters™ included.

The whole Max-Series™ line Every model is below with its price, specs and its own page; the comparison table puts them side by side.

Good fit when

  • Above-ground pools up to 30 ft (Escape) and inground pools to 40–50 ft
  • Pools with sand, fine dirt and pollen: the MaxBin™ takes NanoFilter™ panels
  • Buyers who want a weekly timer (standard on the Cayman and Quantum, optional on the Escape)

Strengths

  • HyperBrush™ active scrubbing on every model
  • MaxBin™ top-load filter: large, quick to rinse, NanoFilter™-ready
  • Lighter than ProLine™ and easier to lift from the pool

Before you buy

  • Only the Quantum scrubs the waterline
  • 2-year warranty across the line

Dolphin Max-Series™ buying guide

What separates the models, and which current Dolphin to price each one against.

Three Max-Series™ robots, three kinds of pool

The Dolphin Escape is the lightest of the three and the one for above-ground pools: floor-only coverage, a 1.5-hour cycle and the option of a weekly-timer power supply. The Dolphin Cayman climbs walls on inground pools up to 40 ft, runs a 2-hour cycle on a timer, and is the best-value inground Dolphin. The Dolphin Quantum adds the waterline, a 50 ft rating, the XXL MaxBin™ and a NanoFilter™ set in the box.

Why the MaxBin™ matters

Every Max-Series™ model loads from the top and rinses in a minute. Add the NanoFilter™ panels and the same bin catches 2-micron silt, pollen and dead algae that a standard basket lets through. On this page you can also jump to the Cayman and Escape bundles that include the NanoFilter™ bin or a Universal Caddy.

Quick answers

Dolphin Max-Series™ Questions

What is the difference between Max-Series™ and ProLine™?

Max-Series™ is the platform (HyperBrush™, MaxBin™, SmartNav 2.0™). ProLine™ is Dolphin's top tier; the Quantum belongs to both, while the Premier and Sigma use commercial-grade motors and longer warranties.

Does the Escape have a weekly timer?

Not as standard. Choose the Automation Timer power supply on the Escape page to schedule cleanings.

Can the Cayman clean a 50 ft pool?

The Cayman is rated for pools up to 40 ft. For 50 ft pools choose the Quantum, which also adds waterline scrubbing.
