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

I ordered this by mistake thinking I would get a high quality dust buster; instead, I ended up with a super-handy clean up tool for dry stuff in the kitchen. AND, as a bonus it easily cleans under the bottom cabinets and the crevices of the moldings, AND the tracks for the sliding glass door and windows.

Lets face it: meal times with toddlers are frequently messy occasions. Our daughter is particularly skilled at generating incredible amounts of crumbs, especially when she attacks her meals with techniques borrowed from the Cookie Monster school of table manners. Ah well, at least its cute to watch. It does, however, leave an aftermath of crumbs and culinary debris that need to be dealt with. You could, of course, use a whisk broom and dustpan, paper towels, or other tools for the task, or you could use a vacuum cleaner and just get it done. The problem with most vacuum cleaners is that you have to haul the large unit out of the cleaning closet, plug it in, and re-wind the cord afterwards. Thats a lot of effort just to clean up some crumbs. Enter the Shark Ion W1: a handheld, cordless, incredibly easy-to-use vacuum cleaner for small jobs. And just like that, the annoyance of having to drag out the big tool just to clean up my daughters post-meal rubble is gone. Heres why I really like this vacuum cleaner: 1) Its extremely easy to use. It has two buttons. Yes, TWO. One of them is the power button, which you press to turn the device on and off. The other is the button that opens the canister so you can empty it. The two buttons look a lot alike and are right next to each other, so fortunately the canister-emptying one is more of a slide than a button, which prevents you from opening the canister when you dont intend to. 2) Its very lightweight, which makes it super easy to wield. I find it to be the perfect overall length; its long enough to grab some crumbs off the floor without too much exertion, but still short enough to feel like a compact unit. 3) It has two useful attachments. One is an upholstery-type tool, and the other is a narrow-opening crevice tool. The latter has a really neat little brush that flips down when you need it - a great way of getting two tools in one. 4) It has a very convenient charging station with a small footprint. Just drop the vacuum into the slot in the charger and it will be ready for the next mess. 5) Its easy to empty: Just hold it over a trash can, press the release button, and the canister opens up to empty its contents. 6) The filter is easy to clean: just pop it out and shake it over a trash can. 7) Reminder instructions on how to do things like open the filter cover, remove the filter, and clean the filter are printed right on the device. Very handy! Anything I dont like about this vacuum cleaner? A few small picky things: 1) Its not a loud device, but its noise can be a little annoying; its surprisingly high pitched and kind of whiny. 2) I wish there was a way to mount it on the wall! I would love to have this thing on the wall of our laundry room instead of having to find a small shelf space for it. ----------------------------------------------------------- A FEW TIPS FOR USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER ----------------------------------------------------------- - When using the brush attachment, if you hold the unit too vertically the suction wont be effective because the suction opening will be too far above the surface you are cleaning (see my photo which demonstrates this). If you have it angled more than about 45 degrees youll lose suction power. Unfortunately this means you may have to bend over quite a bit to vacuum things off the floor. - There is a hinged flap inside the vacuum which you can see when you open the filter cover (show in one of my photos). I found that debris tends to accumulate around this hinge, so you may want to check it and clean it out periodically. Overall Im very pleased with this little cleaner. Its not something you would use as your primary vacuum cleaner, but for small messes it is absolutely fantastic.

Very cool design that is a pleasure to use, works well and not very noisy. Highly recommend

Its slim and has good power. I got it to clean up kitty litter tracking on the floor. It works perfectly. It is nice a slender, so it can be hidden away when not in use. I love it.

Amazon says I bought this in May 2021. It is a terrific product, but the longevity just isnt there. The suction was great, the few accessories it comes with are great, but after about 18 months, it started to sputter out on us. First it just seemed like the charge wouldnt hold as long, then it would be having to clean the filter after every use, and now were lucky if it lasts 15 seconds. The suction has also started to wane - just cannot get enough juice to suck up the corners or to use the brush attachment for small channels and such. We thought we could just buy another battery but those are just as expensive as the product itself. We will be looking for a replacement, probably trying a different brand.

We have 4-cats & 2-kids under 5, enough said. Between those two we ended up buying a second. One in the family room and one in the dinning room. Picks up little messes quick and easy. has one handle dumping, so I dont have to take the thing apart to empty it. wish it had a little more power. but it does what we need. we dont have carpet, so I cant say how that would work, but hard floor and furniture its good.

Love it will get into tiny places

This small hand held vacuum is great for small quick jobs.

I love this little vacuum. I use it everywhere.

I bought this back in Oct last year and have felt guilty at least once a week for not putting in a revierw. This is the best hand held vacuum EVER. Tiny collection cup, but not a problem since I just use it for small jobs. Picks up pieces of gravel off the stairs, dog hair easy peasy. you will love it.
