Description

Equipped with patented SmartDrive® technology, the Wanda the Whale Cleaner from Hayward is designed to automatically clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above-ground and on-ground pools quickly and completely—making sure no debris is left behind. It operates separately from your pool’s filtration system and connects directly to your skimmer, installing in less than 10 minutes without tools. A unique turbine system helps Wanda the Whale move gently across the bottom of your pool, providing exceptionally quiet performance while improving circulation by pulling water up from the bottom of the pool as it moves. A deluxe bumper ring reduces friction, guiding it away from walls, steps and ladders to continue the cleaning cycle until the job is done. This model comes with a 32 ft. hose

  • Wanda Works Wonders
Style: Wanda The Whale
So... I ended up purchasing Wanda locally. I waited patiently for her to arrive and FedEx delivered her somewhere else! This was no fault of Hayward or InTheSwim who are both great companies. You do have to set your pump suction a little lower than full throttle for most pumps, There is a bleed off valve that comes in the package to help with this on the suction end. I just adjust mine at the jet side to slow the suction. READ the directions, then READ them again. The hose length is VERY important to Wanda cleaning properly. This little whale works great for a above ground pool. I tried other inexpensive robot vacuums that were self powered, nothing compares to this one. I am very happy and you will be too! ... show more

  • Does a great job, mostly
Style: Wanda The Whale
I use this in a 15x30 above ground pool. The hose that comes with the kit is about 4 feet too short for the Whale to completely vacuum the far end of the pool. With that said, it cleaned the rest sparkling clean in a short period of time. Once I buy the additional hose needed I am sure I will be completely satisfied. ... show more

  • Very easy to use and set up, best value for a suction side cleaner.
Style: Wanda The Whale
The media could not be loaded. Best value, and comes with everything needed to use it. Ok, so I have an above ground 16 x 32 foot 52 inch deep intex ultra soft side pool. I have a 1hp pump, but a 3/4 would be enough to use this cleaner. I do use an in line canister with a filter sock to catch leaves and debris it picks up. I empty the canister daily so I dont have to backwash the filter or clean the pump out too often. I do use hose weights also. They are to keep the hose below the surface for my beatta pool surface skimmer. See the video and notice the trees but the pool looks great. YOU CANT BEAT THE VALUE OF THIS CLEANER. I am thinking of getting a cordless model just because this doesnt clean the wall or waterline. If that is a problem for you then dont get this its the reason for my review being 4 stars. ... show more

  • Wanda is the OG
Style: Wanda The Whale
This little pool vacuum is amazing. This is the second one I’ve owned for my second above ground pool. She goes over uneven ground with ease. Navigates around the bottom quickly. Her hoses are flexible and easy to connect and disconnect. I’ve even added an inline canister filter to make emptying trash easier for me. ... show more

  • Does not take returns! Does NOT work!!!! Bad customer service!!!!
Style: Wanda The Whale
This item does NOT work on “most” above ground pools. We purchased a top if the line Dough Boy above ground pool with Dough Boy filter and all. We unpacked “Wanda” and followed ALL directions. According to the sales information a buyer would be able to adjust the cleaner with the enclosed provided “regulator” to the threshold to work on pool. If your pool water flow is low you CANNOT use the provided regulator to correct. Therefore the system will NOT work. Is there a better brand than Dough Boy???? We went to the Dough Boy licensed dealer where we purchased (the dealer also installed) the pool and asked for assistance in case we were doing something incorrect.......they just shook their head and said.....we are one of MANY who have been ripped off by this company! Then to add insult to injury..... I purchased this item May 11th, (as a Farher’s Day gift) and do to the Current CORONA our pool was delayed and delayed and not fully installed and complete until Jun27th. With waiting until all decking and landscaping was done, we just today OPENED the box and discovered the regulator they provide cannot be adjusted to work.....after this disappointment......we then find out..........we only had 30 days to return.....boo to you Haywood and boo to you AMAZON.....we have truly been ripped off by both companies. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS or anything from HAYWOOD.....customer service would not even listen to our concerns or consider A return, with complete packaging and us paying the shipping cost to return. I don’t want to give any stars but the Amazon system makes you give at least one.......why must I give them my $350.00 AND one star?????? RIPPED OFF! ... show more

  • Wanda is wonderful
Style: Wanda The Whale
This is our second Wanda the Whale in the past 8 years. This one is moving and grooving along the bottom of the pool sucking up everything it needs to. Good product.

  • Good but quits at 2 years
Style: Wanda The Whale
First one I had lasted 3 years, and this one quit at 2 years. Too expensive for this short of a period. The mechanism that makes it move wears out (too it to local Leslie's for diagnosis) amd the cost to replace parts is too expensive, I was told would be about as much as buying a new one. Sucks. It does work really well when it works. ... show more

  • This Whale works harder than your kids!
Style: Wanda The Whale
I cleared up a green pool with this "Whale" by asking it to work 24 hours a day for 3 days straight and it never complained not one time. "Excellent product!"
