Hayward SharkVac Robotic Pool Cleaner — Entry-Level Corded
The SharkVac is Hayward's entry point into robotic cleaning — a straightforward, corded floor-and-cove cleaner built for owners who want hands-off pool cleaning without paying for wall-climbing or waterline scrubbing they may not need.
Quick Stats
- 50 ft floating cable
- 2-hour cleaning cycle
- Cleans floors and coves (partial wall) — not full walls or waterline
- Top-load debris chamber with dual cartridge filters (down to 5 microns)
- ~21.5 lbs, works on all pool surface types
- 1-year warranty
Why the SharkVac Over the XL or TigerShark?
Choose the standard SharkVac if your pool doesn't need full wall or waterline cleaning, or if you mainly want floor coverage on a budget. It's the lowest-cost robotic option in the Hayward lineup here. If you need wall climbing, waterline scrubbing, or a longer cord for a larger pool, step up to the SharkVac XL.
