Which one to choose?

Xhorse Dolphin:

Easier to carry out, if need to cut 10-15 keys at once, you go for dolphin because it is battery operated.

If you need a protective shield and touch screen, then go for Dolphin II.

If don’t want to pay $300 for a screen, pay more 50 bucks to get key tool max plus xp005.

 

Xhorse Condor:

A larger screen, offline operation. However, XC-Mini Plus doesn’t have a built-in battery so hard to take it out.

You can see the biggest difference is that it allows you to cut keys without network support. It’s very useful, but the price is high.

For people who are interested in the Android system, standalone operation including software/firmware directly update in the machine, new Key Blank Engraving, go for Condor II instead.
