Dolphin Universal Caddy
Best home for your robot — The universal-fit cart that gives a Dolphin cleaner a real home between swims — it rolls the robot to the shed and lifts the power supply up off a wet deck, where heat and puddles quietly kill it. Storage and transport, not charging (Dolphins are corded).
How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

Pros
- Universal fit across most Dolphin residential cleaners — one caddy, near-any model
- Lifts the power supply up off the deck, where standing water and heat are what actually kill it
- Rolls a heavy wet robot to the shed instead of you hauling it by the handle
- Genuine Maytronics part with a 1-yr warranty; sold at Maytronics, Leslie's, In The Swim and more
Cons
- Does not charge anything — Dolphin cleaners are corded, so this is storage/transport only
- Dolphin-oriented; a cordless robot (Beatbot, Aiper, WYBOT) uses its own brand dock instead
- Does not fit the 2x2, Nautilus Pool Up or Wave 300
It is not universal, which is the one word in its name. "This is a great little caddy. However, it's not universal. Doesn't fit [my robot]"; "does not fit the Cayman — built well but my Dolphin Cayman doesn't fit it well, the tires run on the tra[y]"; "does not work well for [the] Prote[us]". So check your own model before ordering, because the name will not do it for you. The second theme is that it feels cheap for the money: "thin plastic, flexes a lot while carrying my robot over the bumpy lawn", "cheaply made but does the job", "overpriced junk", "plastic and not worth the money". Assembly draws its own complaints — hardware not properly sized, missing parts, and instructions one owner calls garbage.

“I also rinse off my robot after each use and when it sits on the cart it is off the ground and can drain and dry properly which is why I like the plastic.”— Verified owner (Dolphin S200), Amazon · Verified owner
