Buying Guide

Material Durability

The material of your caddy cover determines how well it withstands the elements. Look for heavy-duty vinyl or waterproof Oxford fabric that resists UV rays, wind, and moisture. Dolphin’s genuine accessories use thick vinyl that lasts for years, while options like the PEATOVIE cover use polyester Oxford for lightweight yet sturdy protection.

Weather and UV Protection

A good cover should shield your Dolphin from harsh sun, rain, and dust. Many covers include vents to prevent moisture buildup, which can cause mold or damage. For example, the Dolphin Premium Universal Caddy Cover features airflow vents to keep your robot dry. If you need a cover for a specific model, see our guide on Dolphin M600 caddy covers.

Fit and Compatibility

Ensure the cover fits your Dolphin caddy and robot snugly. Most universal covers are designed for the Dolphin Universal Caddy, but some generic options fit a wider range of brands. Check dimensions and compatibility before buying. The Replacement Cover for Dolphin 9991795-R1 is a budget-friendly option that fits all Dolphin models.

Ease of Use and Handle Access

Look for covers with convenient handle slots or straps so you can move your caddy without removing the cover. Dolphin’s Premium Caddy Cover has a handle sleeve that allows easy transport, while the PEATOVIE cover includes adhesive straps to secure it in windy conditions.
