Shark WANDVAC Cordless Hand Vac, Lightweight, Versatile and Portable at 1.4 lbs., Powerful Suction for Pet Hair, Charging Dock, One-Touch Empty for Car & Home, Duster Crevice Tool, Black, WV201BK

Lightweight/not bulky, attractive & small enough to keep handy on kitchen counter, easy to clean (no filters to handle when dumping contents), not as noisy as others, & suction is adequate - a pleasure to use & worth the price!

I’ve used this for a while now and it works well. The charge doesn’t last a long time but it does charge pretty quickly. It has good power easily sucks up dust, debris and dirt. It’s small so it doesn’t take up much room. I’d say the noise volume is moderate. Overall a nice handheld vac.

Just got this but my first use was very satisfactory and what I expected from the description. I really like the streamlined shape and the ease of emptying. The suction appears strong, it is lightweight, and it is simple to use. As usual with these, how you angle the nozzle affects the effectiveness of the suction. I really like this for picking up hair and lint and dust between vacuuming and mopping days and since the hair is removed by this machine hair doesnt get tangled around the big vacuum rollers and need to be cut out. It appears as well made as my other Shark items. It has a high price for something like this but I bought it on sale so that swayed me to order it. Not too noisy. You are supposed to keep it in the charger so I will have to wait a while to see if the batteries hold up or are compromised by the constant charging.

Purchased the vacuum about 4 months ago. I can count on one hand how many times it was used in the last several months since I mainly use it for hard to reach areas and the car when I’m doing a big clean. All of a sudden I noticed that it wasn’t charging and called customer support. They told me it wasn’t the charging base but the handheld unit itself. They said it was within the warranty, so they would ship me out a new vacuum handheld unit. I mean really… even if it wasn’t under the warranty, I barely used this thing, bought it like 100 days ago and I just paid over $100 for a glorified Dustbuster. The real reason I’m placing this 1-star review isn’t even that it stopped working after 4 months of light use, it’s also that I paid so much for it and they charged me over $20 to ship the new unit which is supposedly still under warranty. Not okay. I thought for sure since shark is cheaper than dyson, and tends to get pretty good reviews (I found this one only after my searching on the best handheld on consumer reports), that it would be pretty solid, but maybe a bit worse than dyson. As far as performance while it worked, I was pleasantly surprised. It picked up the tiniest speck of dust and large pellets from around my pellet stove. Cleaned sand out of the car like nobody’s business. I’m short, before it suddenly died, I would have given it a solid 5-stars, which is saying a lot given my standards for product performance. So disappointed that this just stopped working tho, I was thinking it would be as solid as some other more expensive items that paid for themselves over time because of how sturdy they were. I bought 3 cheap immersion blenders which all proceeded to break working minutes to a couple weeks of using them before buying a Bamix. It was 5x the cost, but it’s going strong still (bought it in 2009)!! That is what I hoped for with this being way more expensive than a $30 Dustbuster, but my parent’s Dustbuster has been going strong for 5 years. It’s not the best suction, and it’s clunky and unsightly, but it’s lasted. I have another plug-in large shark vacuum, which I have to say has done well since we got it a few years ago, so I started trusting the brand, but this has me thinking otherwise. I’ll try to update this review once the new handheld unit comes in. Hopefully they just don’t send me another faulty unit especially since making me foot the shipping charge. Update 2/2/22: After Shark made ME for shipping of the new handset (that is what they said the faulty part was), it arrived today. It was dirty, used, and contained no battery. I thought for sure it must be easy then to remove the battery from the old model and place in the new one. It definitely was not. I ended up destroying my knuckles and bleeding everywhere. I finally got the old battery in the new handset and it does not work or charge. I also noticed that the "new" handset is an older model. Now I'm out over $150 for this glorified dust buster. We're definitely going to call again and see if they will fix this mess.

From a product perspective, this thing is great. Everything you'd need to know is printed directly on it, right where you'd expect it to be. The thing is very well engineered and does seem to be of decent quality. The suction power (if you turn it on and stick it against your hand, it'll dangle there and hold on firmly) is somewhat deceptive - there's not a ton of airflow so it will NOT suck up things like crusty fallen leaves from house plants, even though other "handheld vacuums" (dust busters) will. I'm comparing this directly to a B&D Pivot which is about five years old... the Pivot is the better all-around cleaning tool, and it will tolerate a lot more mis-use, such as sucking up small puddles or water around the sink. I wouldn't want to stick the Shark's pretty little face in such nasty messes, it might smear its makeup. The vacuum very quickly loses that last ounce of suction once the bin starts to fill up. If you're trying to use the upholstery tool (curved, for some reason, just about every other upholstery tool I've seen is flat) and the bin is not absolutely empty, you might as well turn the vacuum off, do your scrubbing, then turn it back on to pick up the little bundles of turd it gathered up. This was my findings on a microfiber seat, which is admittedly one of the more difficult to clean surfaces. Putting the crevice tool on puts it at an awkward length, can make it difficult to clean horizontal surfaces above your head since you're basically holding a broom handle. This is another strength for the Pivot, since it allows you to bend the thing in half. Shark has a few extra attachments available (up to $20 a piece!) that are not included. I don't know whether they weren't included because they found them to be ineffective, or if this is just a way to cut the cost of the product. I don't think this vacuum has enough suction to efficiently use a mattress cleaning tool, which is one of the attachments they have available. The scrubbing tool looks interesting, but again, I wouldn't feel good about sucking up really filthy messes with this delicate little tool. This thing is made for picking up dry debris from hard surfaces. It does that very well. If you want a dustbuster that can handle just about anything you throw at it, go for the B&D Pivot instead. If you think you're going to use this to clean out your car, you're much better off with a similarly priced shopvac with a 2" or 1.5" hose and a good, large crevice tool. I bought this solely because it was available for a decent discount and was open-box, and because I really wanted a dustbuster with a brushless motor (sounds cool) that wasn't a Dyson. Time will tell whether this vacuum will last as long as it's $60 counterpart.

Great quality product. Highly recommended.

It is compact, powerful, and very handy to hoover up small amounts of crumbs, dust etc.

I really like this hand vac, it's powerful enough for it's purpose. Charges quickly and lasts long enough to complete a run around clean up. Great product (FYI this is a US version and I had to buy an adaptor plug before I could use it)

Excelente producto! Cumple con su función.
