Appearance

• The Wanda the Whale Pool Cleaner is designed to look like a friendly blue whale swimming beneath the surface of your pool. Wanda's base, as you might expect, is in the shape of a whale, with eyes, a gray mouth and a tail. The cleaner has a toy-like appearance as it sucks up debris. Wanda measures 12-by-12-by-13 inches and weighs about 12 lbs.
  
  

Connection

• Wanda the Whale Pool Cleaner simply connects to your pool through your existing skimmer. The cleaner comes with 11 32-inch pieces of connecting hose, as well as one 32-inch leader hose, allowing it to reach all corners of your pool. According to Amazon.com, the installation process should take about 10 minutes, meaning you can quickly take it apart and store it if you have company coming over.
  
  

Suction

• The Wanda the Whale Pool Cleaner acts as a powerful vacuum, according to AboveGroundPoolVacuums. The website reports that the cleaner can easily suck up all sorts of debris from the bottom of your pool, including leaves, dirt, twigs and sand. The suction also sends more water from the bottom of your pool through your filter, cleaning microscopic particles in the process.
  
  

Features

• The Wanda the Whale Pool Cleaner comes with SmartDrive, a program that controls how the cleaner moves around the bottom of your pool and ensures the entire area is cleaned in the process, according to the owner's manual. The manual also boasts of the turbine/gearing system, which it says provides for a consistent water flow and quiet operation. The cleaner's bumper system allows for easy movement away from walls and other hindrances. Newly-purchased Wanda the Whale Pool Cleaners come with a one-year warranty.
