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

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. ;)

The Shark ION W1 is an uneccessary indulgence. Yes...there are cheaper options out there to clean counters, vehicle interiors, the spot under your messy-eaters dining chair, but the Shark W1 does it with STYLE. It is not designed to be your primary vacuum cleaner(unless you live in a closet) nor will it lift a brick with its suction power- Lego bricks, however are no match! It will be the vacuum you dont mind using everyday to pick up the little pieces of shredded cheese on your counters or the Cheerios that never make it to your kids(or adults) mouths. The Shark ION W1 comes with a modern base that acts as a charger for the lithium ion battery and a place to keep the two attachments. One is a wand-like tool that has a brush end(I use this for the cars) and the other is tool for cloth upholstery(I use this one for couches). The actual vacuum has a wide opening to handle all the daily pickup needs I listed above. Lots of versatility! As other reviewers have said it certainly is lightweight and not cumbersome like the old-school DustBusters. However, I did not find it to be loud at all like others have mentioned. In fact, its no louder than a hairdryer in my opinion. Also, I have used it daily for the past month and NEVER has the battery went dead on me, but Im not trying to do too much with it either. The suction power I find to be completely adequate considering what it is. Honestly, for the size I am truly impressed at the power! The collection bin certainly is smallish, but its so easy to empty you really cant complain. In fact, the disposal system is my second-favorite feature of this vacuum. My favorite being the overall sleekness factor. This is a vacuum you dont mind keeping out in the open because it looks so good! When you hide things you forget about them and having it in our living room reminds me to do a quick cleaning in some problem areas(mentioned in the beginning). At $110 as of writing I have taken 1 star off, but even that Im really unsure of considering all the positives. Jae

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 a multi animal household, I use this a lot. Strong suction and pretty good usage time before needing to charge. It charges fairly quickly. I don’t use on my stairs because they are carpeted but it does well to touch them up. The extension with the flip down brush is great for hard to reach tight spaces.

This has been a reliable vac for cleaning up dog hair and quick spills, jobs up to a couple minutes. People who are disappointed that it will not clean out their entire SUV for 20 minutes like a shop vac have very unrealistic expectations, look at the marketing photos. The downside is that it holds very little dirt in the canister, has to be emptied very often. Also you need to hold the canister when you press the release button otherwise it will fling dirt everywhere. The release button should be further from the on/off button to avoid confusion. If you find the vacuum losing power or even shutting off by itself then you need to empty the little cone filter behind the main canister, this also gets clogged up really quickly.

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

This vacuum not only looks and feels great but is extremely powerful. I recommend this to friends frequently. Just be careful on the canister eject button..it’s to close to the power button. My son vacuums hard to reach places more than he used to because this makes it fun.Good buy.

First off, this listing has multiple ordering options, so what Im going to say is specific to the Graphite color option. I dont know if the same would have happened for the other options available. I love the vacuum itself for all the reasons other reviewers have mentioned, but I was disappointed to find the docking station has no storage for the two attachments that come with it, as shown in all the pictures on this listing. At first I thought maybe its just tricky, but no - there is no way you can store these attachments on that base. Thats when I noticed someone (I assume the seller - America Wholesale Inc) had added black tape to the box to hide the part of the picture where the onboard storage is, and all text talking about it. Not exactly honest, and now I have to figure out what to do with these two random pieces. Not ideal, but again, the vacuum itself is great.

When I was in Canada I purchased one through Amazon.ca and the quality of the product was Crazy-Amazing. Now moved to the US and I found something similar at Costco Wholesale, it was a catastrophe, the succion was so poor and weak, and you had to press 4x times in order to activate it. Long story short, I returned it and bough another one from Amazon.com (US), it works definitely better than the Costco one. But, its less performant than the one I had in Canada. So I will give it a 4 star. It works okay I would say, but its not the strongest vacuum pression Ive seen in my life. Its a good gadget to have if you are in the rush and want to clean quickly your room.

I cant live without this handheld vac. With 3 Boston Terriers, there is fur all over the place, and this significantly helps in cleaning up. The attachments are easy to use, and it charges quickly.
