W3900 Wanda the Whale Above-Ground Suction Pool Cleaner for Any Size Pool, Automatic Pool Vacuum Cleaner

She may not look like a serious pool tool but this vac is excellent for keeping the floor of my pool clean! It's so easy to set up and works pretty much on her own (with an occasion unclog when the pine needles get in the pool.) I had a pool party and the pool started turning cloudy the next day, then a little green forming on the floor. We connected her and let her do her thing and she got the job done. At this point, I leave her on a couple days each week to make sure that everything gets picked up and to keep algae under control during this hot summer! I think we have finally figured out how to keep the water clean. I have been struggling each year that I've owned this pool to keep it clean and stabilized. The pool is situated next to a tree line with pine trees and mimosa (lots of little tiny leaves that drop all the time) and she is the perfect addition to the pool tools.

Love our Wanda!! we have had three of these since 2015. She does a great job. We’ve never had a tail issue and the only reason we had to get the third one is cause I accidentally slammed her in the box that we store her in, and I broke her flipper on the bottom. The kids love watching her and we also have the leaf catcher that I add usually only the beginning of the year unless a storm comes through. Extremely happy with our purchase.

We have a 33 foot round pool and this cleaner would not move across the floor of the pool. Not an easy connect and just have never had trouble with a pool cleaning device. Suction was not quality and debris pickup was none.

Easy to use, works well even it requires me to remove the stairs so it doesn't get hung up. The included adjustment valve and flow scale allowed us to dial in the suction to the middle of the band easily to guarantee that we don't suck up and ruin the liner. Only reason for 4 stars is that Wanda's tail likes to pop off to the point that we're using it without it. It's a small thing, and it's cosmetic, but if you include it, you should be able to use it without issues. Pool looks great.

Great product for above ground or lined pools!! Cleans well, easy to clean and hook up.

***Update: Don’t make the same mistake I did. I ordered the pool cleaner and then when it came several days later I took it out of the box and started using it. I already had a Hayward prior to this and assumed it worked the same. Been using it for a couple of months and it has worked fine. A few days ago it stopped moving so I took the bottom off to remove what I found was a small piece of gravel that was keeping it from working. While looking at a picture of it online to make sure I could remove the bottom I noticed there is a black ring that mine does not have. Then I remembered opening the box and it was sitting on top of a black ring that was not attached and that I assumed was some sort of packing piece to keep it from rolling around d in the box. That piece was tossed out with the box and I had to spend $20 to get a new one and watch a video on how to put it on. I feel like my husband now, who never reads instructions. I wish I had seen this prior to purchasing our first Hayward XL pool vac, which was more than double the price. It works well and my only issue would be needing a couple of extra pieces of hose because our semi-inground pool is large. It moves around the pool well and does a good job of picking up debris from the bottom. After using it I rinse it off and put it on the covered porch out of the sun. I didn’t take care of our first vacuum as well, but now I know better so hopefully this one will last longer.

Works perfect picks up all debris

Yes very satisfied with Wanda , she is doing a wonderful job keeping the pool clean, the only issue is that her tail won’t stay on but that doesn’t hinder her ability to do the job.

We returned our Aiper scuba and purchased this one instead. It does a way better job of cleaning up our 18X33 above ground pool including the wrinkles in the liner ! Well worth the money

Easy to use and way cheaper than any of the pool stores. Works great.

Wanda for the WIN!! Wanda makes pool cleaning so much easier. While I am perfectly capable of cleaning my above ground swimming pool the old-fashioned way, Wanda is so much more convenient. I drop her in and when I come back, the pool is clean. The tail is pointless, does not stay attached and does nothing. She can fall over onto her side , but can easily right herself. Wanda cleans the pool much better than I did manually. While I can’t comment on the durability as I have just purchased Wanda, I do highly recommend this pool cleaner

The title says it all: faulty design, the drive mechanism doesn't move so, neither does cleaning unit. This is a clear case of over-design, the much more simplistic Shark product works much better (of course, the whale doesn't work at all so, low bar).

Love it. Works great. Makes cleaning the pool easy
