Buy Dolphin CaymanDolphin Liberty 600 or Dolphin T15: our take
Dolphin Liberty 600 and Dolphin T15 are compared on pool fit, cleaning reach, debris handling, controls and ownership details. The recommendation is based on the job the robot must do—not a simple feature count.
Pool fit and cleaning reach

Dolphin T15's documented cleaning system includes 1 active brush.
Filtration and debris

Controls and day-to-day ownership
Dolphin Liberty 600 provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Dolphin T15 provides one-touch starts and power-supply controls. Dolphin Liberty 600 uses cordless battery power, while Dolphin T15 uses a 40 ft corded cable. Dolphin Liberty 600 is listed at 25.8 lb versus 14 lb for Dolphin T15; that 11.8 lb difference matters when lifting the robot from the pool.
