Our verdict

Choose the Cayman if your above-ground pool has rigid walls and a visible waterline ring. Otherwise the Escape is the better value.

What we like

  • Full wall climbing to the waterline
  • Weekly timer in the box
  • Larger debris basket than first-generation Dolphins
  • Weekly timer included, so it runs on schedule
  • HyperBrush and grippy tracks for walls
  • 2-year warranty

What to know

  • More than many above-ground owners need
  • Fine filters cost extra
  • 33 ft limit
  • Fine filters sold separately at some dealers
