I have a B+D handheld vac that I have had for quite a few years that has served me well, but I hate the cloth filter and the battery is going so it was time for a new handheld. That said, I am a proud owner of a Shark Duo Clean cordless vacuum that I bought years ago (when it came with 2 batteries!) and it is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. Enter the Shark Wandvac. I was skeptical at first after reading many reviews, but knowing how happy I have been with the Shark vacuum, I said what the heck. I was so excited when I used it for the first time, I had to write this review. The suction is amazing and the design just works. I can't comment on battery life yet, as I've only used it on small jobs (not the car yet) but if it's anything like my other Shark's vacuum batteries, I have no worries. The only complaint my husband has is that it is not mountable on a wall, but not a deal breaker for me. If I experience any issues, I will update this review.

The suction power is much better than I expected it to be. I have a husky, and it does a great kob getting her hair off of the stairs smd couches! The charge doesn't last as long as I would like, but it's still a great purchase. It recharges fairly quickly, fits on my counter top and came with very useful attachments. It's incredibly easy to empty and lightweight. It does a great job and I'm super happy with my purchase!!

I first saw this handheld vac when a shopkeeper was whisking up some errant fluff -- I loved how sleek it looked (such a departure from the original dustbusters I grew up with.) Since buying one for myself, I have actually given a few of these as gifts and they are always well-received. One recent recipient was the host/hostess who had a party where a guest left a lot of glitter in her wake. I KNEW they would appreciate this great tool for that never-ending task -- and I was right. ;)

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.

Best hand held vacuum I've ever had. Impressed by the suction power. I bought this to pick up the mess from mealtime with the kids, but also the random pet hair, and various little crumbs throughout the house. Does a great job, quick and efficient! Long lasting battery life, easy to clean.

I just purchased my second one of these (one downstairs, one up). I can't say enough good about this little powerhouse. Suction like you wouldn't believe, very small footprint, storage for the extra tools. Shark really has a winning product here. Do not hesitate!

My sister recommended this little vacuum to me and I love it. So convenient and great suction and easy to empty

We have owned numerous minivans and this has some of the best suction!

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- I'm 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 didn't 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 don't 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 I'm talking about. It was an eye sore to look at, and took up a lot of counter space- so I wouldn't and sometimes couldn't 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 didn't work very well- it was awkward to hold, heavy and didn't have much suction- and on top of all that, didn't 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 don't 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 don't 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 it's size- it's one common thing that reviewers said about it, and they are right. I decided on this Shark, and I'm quite pleased with it. It is stylish- modern, sleek, light. It's not an eye sore sitting on my counter and doesn't take up much space. Because of all that, it's 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. It's true I have to empty it several times when doing this- the cup is small- but's 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. It's 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. It's long enough that I can suction up a cobweb dangling down from the ceiling on occasion. I'm very pleased with my purchase- Shark has a winner, here.

I don't write reviews about products unless I like them or really hate them. I have never had a rechargeable hand vacuum that I liked enough to write a review about, but this one. I needed it because I take care of my 95 year-old mother who is bed-bound. She eats in her bed, and everyday I find her bed covered in crumbs (see photo). This vacuum and its attachments are perfect for the needs I have, and as a bonus it does an excellent job of collecting and sucking up hair! I know it seems expensive for what it is to some, but having purchased a half a dozen hand vacs in my lifetime, I can honestly say this one seems worth the price. It also has a very small footprint (see photo), and the charger is stabile and stores the attachments securely.
