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

I got this for vacuuming a set of thirteen stairs but battery sputtered by step # 9. Otherwise, easy to store, use, empty for crumbs and dust.

good price and using for pet hair in car

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

I know I know, no mother should ever get a vacuum for mothers day, however, after she had seen one at her moms house, she wanted one. She loves it, its kept in the pantry so its small enough to fit but hidden so that guests cant see. Saves so much time on picking up little messes instead of having to get the big vacuum clean out.

Pretty solid little handheld…

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.

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

Initially, I scoffed at the idea of spending $100 on a souped-up dustbuster, but as long as this unit lasts, it is worth it. I love the fact that this is super light and has excellent suction. I love the attachments. I love the super easy charging station, and that it only needs 2.5 hours to fully charge. I love the easy dump one button dirt canister. This hand vac literally has many many uses around the house. You can use it vacuum up your pets hair balls on hard surfaces. You can use it on kitchen tables, chairs, or countertops. You can use it to remove dirt and dust from a computer keyboard. You can use it to clean baseboards and molding. You can use it to suck up spider webs from walls and crevices. You can use it to keep your car clean. You can use it on stairs. You can use it to keep sofas and upholstery clean, including behind couch cushions. You can use it to vacuum up all kinds of bugs or thousand leggers that might be crawling across your floors or walls. You can use it on window sills. You can use it in corners or areas where a conventional full sized vacuum cleaner cant get to. You can use it to pick up hair if you get home haircuts. You can vacuum dust off of electronics or media stands. You can vacuum inside drawers. You can remove and get dust off of hanging picture frames on walls. You can use it to clean excess lint on top of your dryer or inside the lint chute. You can vacuum dust off of blinds and shades. You can vacuum around your refrigerator base. I can go on and on. The possibilities are endless! This miracle, sleek vacuum device is a GODSEND and a GAME CHANGER!

I like the SUCTION !! not loud, easy to clean. MY main purpose for buying my Shark ion W1S87 is to clean around the litter box. (Working great) I ordered extra filters and a little brush to clean the filters with. Im most pleased. The Cat doesnt mine the Vac, either, its not loud, so he approves too. Dee

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.
