Shark WV201 WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum, Lightweight at 1.4 Pounds with Powerful Suction, Charging Dock, Single Touch Empty and Detachable Dust Cup,Graphite

I love this little vacuum. I use it everywhere.

It has great suction for such a small, vacuum! Loving the product so far!

Love this vacuum for our hardwood stairs and kitchen tile floors. It’s powerful, rechargeable and good looking. Just pay attention which button you’re going to push or you may end up emptying the contents onto the floor.

This vacuum works pretty well for me. It is super easy to use almost everywhere, has a good grip, battery lasts 10+ mins, and power is great for its size. Not leaving 5 stars as it’s still fairly expensive. Still functioning the same after 6 months

...in the best way possible. I got tired of struggling alond with a dust buster that never really cleaned and I had units that didnt work so I had to return them. Over Christmas I was visiting a friend and she whipped out this sleek little number. She said it changed her cleaning life. So I got one and have not looked back, I actually get a kick out of using it because it sucks stuff up so well. A must for a cat owner who battles litter tracking!

I have been using a Dyson for many years and thought as that ran out of its useful life, to replace it with something else. This one seemed to have good reviews and was Amazon Choice, so went with this option. Adequate suction power and comes with two attachments. Easy to set-up and almost looks like a mini-full size vacum cleaner scaled down with an attachment. Two negatives: 1. They could have designed the charging receptacle in a way so you didnt have to remove the cleaning head everytime. The way the metal contacts are placed, you have to put it in facing the front side in WITHOUT the attachment. 2. This is the main reason I didnt give it a 5 was that I had to replace my first one within 20 days. It just stopped charging. Amazon process to return was simple. The reviews were pretty decent and it was an Amazon Choice item, so I rolled the dice and figured may be I got one with a manufacturing defect vs. poor quality of product. I ordered a new one. That seems to be working fine in its 2nd month. If this changes, I will post again here One update to highlight: evidently when the filter fills or blocked, it stops working in much the same way as if battery was not charging. I have had a Dysons before and when filter filled up, it was not as effective but never stopped working. I realized this after calling their warranty line asking for a replacement and they asked if I had cleared the filter. Sure enough as soon as I did, the Shark was good to go!

I hardly ever buy anything without doing research, these days. I did a lot of research on this purchase because the prices range from about $30 - $250 for the most popular brands of hand vacs. I have previously owned a hand vac that was a big let down, from a major name that everyone knows. At the time, I thought well, this manufacturer is well known for good products- should be safe to go with, but no. I was very disappointed with that unit- it had some major flaws for me, that I wanted to avoid this time. I want quality- Im willing to pay a little more for something that will serve me well. I also have to balance that with how much it will be used. I was willing to pay the $250 for the top of the line in this category (although I didnt want to pay that much), if it met certain criteria. Some of these criteria are not shared by everyone. I live in a smallish condo- I dont have tons of space for everything I could want and certainly not out on the counters. My previous hand vac needed to always be plugged in, if I wanted it charged and ready. Who wants to wait 2 hours after a mess happens to charge something up, or have to deal with cords and finding plugs nearby? The problem with this, is it was large and ugly. It looked like one of the sad, older robots on the Jawa land crawler- some of you know what Im talking about. It was an eye sore to look at, and took up a lot of counter space- so I wouldnt and sometimes couldnt leave it on the kitchen counter- I needed to store it somewhere, and it would invariably would not be charged when I needed it. Add to that, it just didnt work very well- it was awkward to hold, heavy and didnt have much suction- and on top of all that, didnt last very long. I had it about a year and then chucked it in the trash. Well I needed a new one, so I started to do my research. I watched all the youtube comparisons, read all the reviews, looked at what was online and in-stores. I compared prices, battery times, suction- style- every thing you could think of. The most expensive ones had some of the problems I mentioned above- you need a lot of space for these things, or you need a docking station that goes on a wall (I dont have a convenient place for that next to a plug)- otherwise the thing has to be stored...and I have bad memories of all that. It also turns out, the most expensive models dont really last all that much longer on battery than most of the others. What they do have, is great suction. So does this one, for its size- its one common thing that reviewers said about it, and they are right. I decided on this Shark, and Im quite pleased with it. It is stylish- modern, sleek, light. Its not an eye sore sitting on my counter and doesnt take up much space. Because of all that, its always charged and ready for little clean ups. I actually clean up all the small leaves that land on my outdoor patio with it, when it gets windy here (I stress that they are small leaves). It does a satisfyingly decent job of this. Its true I have to empty it several times when doing this- the cup is small- buts a one-click and drop easy, 2-second clean. The 10 minute charge is just enough to clean my whole patio of small leaves and tiny twigs. Its actually fun to use, like a Harry Potter magic wand- I look around the house hoping to find some small crumbs or something so I can zap it. Its long enough that I can suction up a cobweb dangling down from the ceiling on occasion. Im very pleased with my purchase- Shark has a winner, here.

It does the job. The suction is great. The attachment are too But the real plus, imho, is that its soooooo easy to clean. The parts that youd want to clean come apart super easily, are easy to clean, and easy to reassemble. Ive had it a while and nothings broken. It holds a charge very well. Ive never run out of power using it... so far. Would buy it again.

This thing is too expensive to only be usable for 15 minutes max. The suction is really decent (does not like to get anything bigger than rice though) but its not super pet hair friendly, its not like particularly better at getting pet hair than any other vacuum even with accessories. I bought it in June of 2022 and this month its decided its done. I can have it charging for two days and it dies as soon as I pull it out. The filters clean, I empty it frequently, its cute and convenient just really wish it was more powerful and lasted longer. I can only get small sections of things done at a time. Not expecting it to be a full sized vacuum but I am expecting it to last more than 10-15 minutes.

Suction is very good for picking up crumbs, etc. but not real great on pet hair.
