Hayward SharkVac
Score: 66/100
Dolphin Advantage Ultra
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Dolphin Advantage Ultra offers solid floor, wall, and waterline cleaning with a lightweight, plug-and-play design and 4,000 GPH suction. It lacks advanced filtration and smart app features, limiting its appeal to tech-savvy users. Ideal for pools up to 50 ft seeking simplicity and ease of handling.
The Hayward SharkVac delivers independent two-hour floor and cove cleaning with top-access filters and safety sensors. Its heavy weight and lack of wall or waterline cleaning limit versatility. Best for smaller in-ground pools needing reliable floor maintenance.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers consider the Advantage ULTRA a solid, mid-price option that delivers reliable floor, wall, and waterline cleaning while remaining lightweight and easy to service. They commend its plug-and-play simplicity and effective dual-brush system, but consistently note the missing NanoFilter technology and limited suction as drawbacks compared with higher-end Dolphin models.
