Very lightweight easy to use for my 90 year old mum, the only issue for her was it was difficult to empty, the contents kept ending up on the floor.
Would love someone to get in touch to explain an easier way of emptying.

Absolutely amazing brilliant vacuum cleaner. A minor criticism is, the dirt container could be larger.

Love this vacuum, so light and easy to use, it’s just so handy to do a quick clean, the suction is really good, use it in the car and caravan also, battery life is plenty long enough for me, handy having a extra battery. Love it.
Really great product, like the charging stand as it charges both batteries at the same time.

It is a very good Hoover and does not get clogged up by pet hairs and i would recommend it to others.
Best buy I have made in ages and also works wonders cleaning up grass and fur of my house bunnies!
Definitely need two batteries and the dust cup is very small but actually fits more than expected given the size.
Definitely recommend!
I needed something lightweight and easy to use with a decent battery life. I swithered about this for a long time because the picture makes it look flimsy but after reading reviews from various website I decided to take a chance on it. When I received it I realised that it is actually a very stylish looking sturdy piece of equipment. I can lift it with 2 fingers and the weight (light as it is) is evenly balanced. It has a good sized suction head on it, 2 tools (1 motorised pet tool), 2 batteries and it is easy to fit all the components and to remove the hand held section of it to use with the tools. So far I have managed to do a decent “run round” with it of a 1 bedroom flat and never had to use the 2nd battery – the battery last longer than you think. I have had no hand or back pain after hoovering. The dust container is small but is easy to empty but being small it reduces the weight. It is a lovely blue sparkly colour (not that the colour matters) and sits on the charging plate very nicely withe spare battery sitting behind it – they charge on the plate very quickly. I have it sitting in the hall beside a chest of drawers and don’t even notice it now. I am very pleased with the vacuum and can recommend it, especially if you have mobility/physical restrictions.
We bought this to replace a larger hoover which though working well was too heavy for my wife. We are so pleased this has been one of our best ever purchases from Amazon and have no hesitation to recommend

Great little quick throw around cleaner..really good..great on stairs..light and easy..only negative is the dust container is bit small
The battery life prevents this from being a full on replacement, but for cleaning alongside an electric vacuum cleaner and it’s brillia
This vacuum is so versatile;light,easy to operate,empty and charge. Definitely needs the two batteries as it runs out on one after doing 9 by 9 and my stairs – on regular suction,not even turbo. Fantastic docking station which charges both batteries. Downside – very tiny collection chamber which is full after 5/6 mins but at least emptying to carry on is very speedy. I haven’t used my Hetty since buying this. I got it as I had an arthritic wrist and was fed up with dragging my old hoover. This is light and effortless – actually enjoyable! Great for stairs,noons and crannies,cobwebs,carpet,lino and laminate. The tools are perfect. It shows you when charging is at certain levels and cuts off when fully charged. Dump whatever you’ve got and go for it. I wish I’d got one ages ago. Very easy to whizz round and be done.
So I love this I hate plugging hoover in so this is perfect. If you just using to keep on top of your daily hoovering it’s perfect. Not so much for quite firstly areas as it’s a cordless after all but it looks good and does what we need
It is light
Really good battery life

This is a brilliant lightweight vacuum cleaner. Very impressed with the suction power and twin battery is a bonus. Anti hair wrap is another impressive function. I have used this product for 2 months but nothing to complain and recommend this product. Only small comment is that I wish if there were small compartments within the stand to put all small accessories together.
The floor stand is a really good idea, avoiding the need to start mounting brackets on walls.
Father-in-law very happy with the product.

Very good suction, lightweight and easy to use the tools supplied. Love the fact that it can be stored on charging plate and no need to attach it to a wall so it stands upright.
Let me just start by saying that I received this product free of charge as a promotion.
The new Shark Wandvac is overall a well-built lightweight battery powered cordless vacuum.
After using this for a just under week it has performed as well as a corded vacuum cleaner overall in my opinion.
It has a powerful suction and brush head and is quite capable of tackling small to large particles with ease. With the power boost button option it can give you a bit more suctions where required. I live with 3 women and hair has always clogged up our other vacuum brush rollers, I can confirm that there isn’t a single strand of hair so far. Over time that may differ but in comparison it does what it states so far.
Due to the lightweight design and flex in motorized head this can be maneuvered very easily throughout the home. Some other similar brand vacuums are heavy and bulky.
It can also be laid flat for hard to reach areas where permitted. (e.g under sofas, tables, units etc).
When tackling lighter cleaning you can detach the brush head and the wand to have it as a pure hand held vacuum and attach the tools included tool – (Crevice tool and Pet Multi Tool).
This is very lightweight and with superior suction it makes short work of the more awkward areas where the brush cannot reach. For harder to reach areas you can re-attach the wand for further length with the attachments.
It has a handy stand/charging station which Is pretty convenient when you put it away, one downside is that there is no storage on the station for the pet tool, but there is a stand for the crevice tool. Would have been nice to have location for both.
I am a bit disappointed with the battery life, it is quoted to last up to 16 minutes. I can confirm the following:
Using as floor cleaner with motorized brush head running it will last approx. 12 minutes.
Using without motorized brush head and pure hand held mode you will reach the quote 16 minutes. You do have the option to buy and additional battery at a price of 69.99, this would be beneficial if you want additional run time and do a longer clean if you have a bigger property, at an additional cost bare in mind.
One other annoying point is that the rubbish dispenser on the back of the hand unit is small and can be a bit cumbersome to empty. You have to flick a switch on the front of the hand unit and the back flips dispenser flips down, you have to make sure it is over a bag or bin and at the right angle/position for it to dispense, else it goes everywhere. However after the first couple of attempts it is no big deal. Could of just had a slightly better design.
Overall if you are looking to buy this product then you should be under no illusions that this will replace your everyday full house clean vacuum cleaner. This has been designed as stated from website description : “Quickly remove crumbs, dust, debris and pet hair from floors with the Anti Hair Wrap floorhead, perfect for unexpected messes.”.
In this case this product performs exceptionally well for the smaller unexpected cleaning jobs around the home.
I would recommend this product if you are looking for something lightweight/ versatile/ easy to use for the smaller jobs around the home. If you are looking to replace your everyday larger vacuum then I think this product is not the one for you. For me a great impressive all round product and does what It has been designed to do exceptionally well.
I had mixed expectations for this vaccumm before using as due to the price and brand but happy to say I was more than pleased with its performance. It is lightweight but I don’t feel it loses any of the suction power because of this. It seperate into two parts easily just by pressing the two side buttons so you can use it as a normal vac or a handheld one with the included accessories. Being able to use it as a handheld Vacumm also makes emptying it easy and mess free.
Whilst using as a main vac it has two useful features which are the turbo mode (a small button on the handle, you can hold down for an extra boost in suction if you need) and the anti hair wrap which really works and saves me a lot of time unclogging the roller.
Battery life lasts about 40 minutes to an hour and you can choose charge either by plugging straight into the vaccum or using the charging dock base/accessory holder included if you have the room for it.
First time using a Shark vacuum cleaner and I was impressed.
Arrived well packaged
Easy to assemble. Has 3 parts the vacuum cleaner, an extension arm and the floored attachment. Also included is a crevice tool, a multi service tool and the charging station.
Simple to use and has good suction power.
Perfect size for a flat.
Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre
Cannot fault this at all – its brilliant

The dual battery option that I purchased means you can extend your running time to just over 30 minutes ,( changing battery after about 16 minutes) which is just about enough to finish a two bedroom bungalow.

Is very good this cordless vacuum, is light, small,the suction power is good in carpet floor, the battery is almost 20 mints,easy to use, you can separate the parts and make a mini hoover for clean the car or the stairs
Best vacuum I have purchased, might not have the best suction, but is perfect for my needs,as I have a bad back and hip.

I bought this mainly because it is lightweight, as I can no longer, after surgery lift anything too heavy and this is perfect. Very happy with it, I use one of the attachments to dust and find it helpful with great suction. The only downside is to do a thorough clean you would need to buy an extra battery, which is available as the run time is not very long. Would have preferred to have this included in the price for this one; still I would recommend, as hoovering is no longer the dreaded chore.
We liked the convenience, easy to use on carpet and laminate flooring, battery time a bit short but depends on how much you have to use i

Feels sturdy and well put together. Perfect for everyday run around to keep on top of the dirt that kids and dogs make. Can do the whole downstairs on one battery and the other is charged ready for next used. Obviously this is not a proper hoover, so you do need to empty the dirt very often to maintain the suction but we don’t find that an issue. All in all I have no regrets about buying and love this machine!
Hand held nice and light. However initially difficult to get different appliances off once connected.
I am elderly though!
The hoover it’s self is perfect for light weight, surprisingly good. The look is very nice and is easy to assemble. I have bought this for my elderly and gran and she loves it. Highly recommend the Shark hand held hoovers.

An amazing piece, like it! Recommended 100%!
It’s coming packed very well, even the original box it’s placed in another box so absolutely everything is coming very safe.
The device itself is not too difficult to assemble, however the users manual should be consulted otherwise it may take much more time to put it together.
First thing I liked about it – how’s the stand designed – you don’t have to hang it on the wall or to lean it against a wall or something – it can be left to literally stand and charge on its platform and that’s just awesome.
Another thing – the bottom part where the brush and everything is – quite impressive – big and working absolutely great. It can cover a good part of the cleaned surface and suck the dust and rubbish from the floor very well.
It’s easy enough to handle it, the rollers are working very well and it’s nearly like playing with it while cleaning. Because of the chunky brush part, it may be a bit difficult cu clean stairs as you have to lift it every time after each stair but it’s still ok, for plain surfaces it’s fantastic. Even though, if used without the brush, to clean the car or some narrow spaces, it is super light and comfortable to use.
Also, the container with the collected rubbish seems to be a bit small, compared to other cordless vacuum cleaner I used to have, but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to clean it oftener.
Otherwise, this one is absolutely great vacuum cleaner, even though there are some small issues that may not necessarily influence the overall experience, I love it, 5 stars it’s a fair rating for it – good price, fine quality and doing the job very good the third month already.
Love this vacuum. It is rather heavy with limited battery life and a small dust cup. Once you accept these limitations and realise it is for quick clean ups and a quality item you come to love its readiness to perform. Best of all, no cord.

I am most impressed with this vacuumed cleaner would recommend!!!
I am quite impressed with this hand held vacuum cleaner. Usually you don’t get a powerful vacuum experience out of a cordless unit but this is very powerful. I am impressed! Picks up very easily and is easy to handle, you can reach spots without problem. The main brush is big and has a very interesting mechanism that rotates when you turn the unit on, so it picks even better. The narrow head is very good and gets in the smallest places. The small brush does not impress me. It picks very little and you have to go over and over again over the same spot.
The disappointing part is the battery which doesn’t last too long. We could only clean two rooms before it ran out.
Being hand held means it has a small container as well that needs emptying after every cleaning which is easy to do. We have kids and use this mostly after every meal to clean around their table, and we are satisfied with that as it doesn’t require to much time. You just take it from its charging station and put it back once you finished, which is less time consuming that the corded one.
Overall very impressed with it, it doesn’t take to much space, charges fast and cleans well. The reason for one star removed is the short battery life and the small brush not doing a great job.
Great value for a cordless hoover as well as being a shark one of that. This is the first time using a shark hoover and I was kinda expecting more from it suction wise, I thought it would be intensely strong but it isn’t, it picks up everything first time off the floor and does well and has good suction but it still feels like it’s lacking even with the boost on, other than that it’s easy to use and set up is simple and converting it to handheld is super easy and I like that this hoover comes with its own stand so you don’t have to do any drilling into the wall and the stand charges it altogether so you just pick it up when you want to use it and its ready to go. So overall really good hoover specially for the price.
This has a great charging plate and stands very neatly in the corner while on charge. There is an option to purchase a second battery to have ready to swap over if you need to use the Shark for more than 10 mins.
It is very easy to convert to a handheld to use in the car or to nip round the ceiling corners to catch all those spider webs.
It doesn’t clean right up to the edges and doesn’t sound as powerful as my main vacuum, however it’s not in that league for suction or price so this is more of a quick flick round to pick up the odd bits of fluff and not a complete house clean.
Very easy to empty though the collection bin isn’t very large.
It is very lightweight compared to my main vacuum and being cordless it is useful for doing the stairs.
It’s a little on the pricey side but all said and done it does what it says it does and it is very useful.
I have never heard this brand before and it was a lovely surprise.
This vacuum cleaner is able to suck up solid residues that are a little larger, without getting clogged immediately, it has separately rechargeable battery all in affordable price.
It does very well with large residues and are less suitable for more precise cleaning.
It is therefore an excellent vacuum cleaner for the most “rough” cleaning of rooms in which perhaps you are not interested in having perfect cleaning, but rather remove the bulk.
The vacuum cleaner is light and very handy. The battery can be charged separately from the vacuum cleaner. A common feature of all cordless vacuum cleaners is that they cannot stand up on their own. Infact when folded it doesn’t stands up on its own.
The reason is obvious: they are unbalanced, they are light and thin vacuum cleaners, which have all the weight at the level of the battery and the motor body and do not have a base so wide that they can support this weight.
So they either lay on the ground, or lean against the wall (and often slide and fall).
Easy to clean. It has an autonomy of about 16 minutes. I clean a floor of the house for a couple of consecutive days.
Fairly low price for a good quality vacuum cleaner.
This is grab and go cordless vacuum is extremely light weight, powerful and flexible in cleaning.
Really good on the the hard floor and the carpet both and clears all the mess, check the video. Its also very simple to use on a daily basis.
That lightweight body means this cleaner is easy to push around; I found it quick on the floor and wall head attached. This model is an Anti-Hair Wrap unit, so its brushes won’t become clogged with hair during cleaning.
Pros –
great suction power
performs and clean like a one swipe
Lightweight under 3 kgs
Cons –
Short battery life
You can fully remove the bin assembly to get to the HEPA filter at the back, and to clean out the internal bin. Shark recommends that you clean the filter once a month.
This is such a great little vacuum! It’s very lightweight but very powerful too! It was very easy to put together and it lasts a long time before needing to charge! No cords necessary so you can use the vacuum wherever you need!
Amazing suction! What more do you want. Well this offers quite a lot more as well.
Love the way you can easily turn it into a hand held and then go back to a more regular machine if you want to do the stairs.
It’s so convenient and always is ready to go. Easy to use it upright for cob webs (having clapped the spiders away of course).
I’m really impressed with the suction. We have a cat who leaves trails of dirt behind him. This picks up what he leaves on the sofa and his hair.
It comes with one battery but you can buy an extra one. I don’t think I need it as I am using this as a secondary device.
The battery life is its downside. It only lasts about fifteen minutes if it is not plugged in.
This is an easy to use space saving vacuum system. It makes cleaning the stair carpet so easy. It’s also perfect for the car. I do think it’s a little overpriced and the battery doesn’t last long until it needs recharging.
A very handy cordless vac which is extremely easy to construct, store and empty. As with other models it does take a good couple of hours to charge and the resultant power for usage is not that great ( just over 15 mins). Very lightweight and easy to manoeuvre; especially good on stairs and reaching high places. I really do like the anti- hair wrap which is so lacking in others models. Suction power seems good.
I didn’t know what to expect from this. For the price I wanted it to be really good but for the size i wasn’t expecting miracles.
I have to say I am pretty satisfied.
The vacuum itself comes in three main parts – the vacuum cleaner (which is also the handle), the extension part and the floorhead attachment. You also get a crevice tool, a multi surface tool and the docking/charging station.
This all fits on to the docking station which charges the vacuum when you’re not using it. The dock has an added battery charger compartment for a spare battery (not included). This is also where you place the vacuum for charging. There is also an option of charging without the dock – straight into the handle.
This makes it great as a grab and go. If you want to use it as a hand held, just pinch the two buttons on the side and the rest just stays on the dock. You can also use all of the attachments in this mode.
This vacuum cleaner is simple to use. It has the on/off button which is easy to switch on with your thumb and the battery display on the front. The boost button is on the underside of the handle which makes it easy to squeeze whilst cleaning. The dust compartment empties with a push of a button. I personally think this should be slightly further away from the power button, but not a huge minus.
The floorhead has Anti Hair Wrap Technology which seemed to work (my picture of the under side is after I vacuumed).
I tested this on my living room carpet (quite a large room) and it done a great job. I have two cats, one with long hair, and it picked everything up. I did use the boost for half of the room and it only used about half the battery.
I also tried it on the stairs using the multi surface tool with and without the brush. It cleaned them fine.
This is advertised as a quick clean vacuum. Granted it’s not going to clear up a big mess, but I would say it’s powerful enough to do a large room and then some. I think it would be really good for a small flat where you might be strapped for space.
My only down side of this is that a spare battery costs nearly 100. That’s currently half the price of this.
All in all I am happy with this and would recommend.
This is a very capable vacuum cleaner that does regular vacuuming as well as transforming into a handheld. It’s light too, which makes it perfect to lift up and vacuum those hard to reach ceiling areas that miraculously attract dust and cobwebs. The company behind this vacuum cleaner has thought of most things like having a twin battery that can maximise vacuum times as well as having a stand that can house the various cleaning tools. So far I haven’t had problems vacuuming the house or the car and so far so good.
I’ve noticed from various reviews that the batteries on these Shark vacuum cleaners are hit and miss and some even lose charge the instant it’s been used. This hasn’t happened to me and I feel this may be down to luck. And since I can only voice my personal experience, I feel that this vacuum cleaner hasn’t let me down yet.
I’ve only ever used a cordless Dyson, so I was a bit dubious about this Shark Vacuum if it would be as good suction-wise etc… and I’ve got to say it hasn’t disappointed me! Everything comes well packaged and it’s super simple to click bits and bobs together and see how it works. Straight away I love the charging station that comes with the Shark, the vacuum sits nicely and neatly out the way for storing and while charging, whereas my Dyson had to be wall mounted or just left against the wall, so this is better. (Just a little niggle that there was only 1 space on the charging base for the crevice tool to be stored and not the multi, bit of a shame.) I also really like that the Shark vacuum shows you how much charge is left while in use/charging, so you shouldn’t suddenly run out of power! I have a mixture of wooden flooring, rugs and carpet in my home and this has worked great on all, the suction is definitely there. I think the maneuverability of the Shark is a little more clunky to use than my Dyson was with the ball, that seemed a bit smoother to use compared with this, but this is still good to reach all the places I needed it to. I also much prefer the stop/start button on the Shark vacuum, whereas my Dyson you would have to hold the button down continually for it to work. The tool attachments you get with the vacuum are great, so multi functional for cleaning the stairs/ceiling/car etc, and it’s really simply to swap bits over depending what you need to use. I am very impressed with the anti-hair wrap, this was a big annoyance for me with my Dyson, I would forever be yanking hair from the head as it wrapped around, but this isn’t an issue for the Shark! The amount of hair the Shark managed to get from my carpet is embarrassing! (See my pic – eww!) It kept the hair all neat in a little ball with the dust etc so it was a breeze when emptying the dust cup. Overall, I really think it’s a great vacuum, you will use it so much around the house for different jobs, it is definitely worth the money. I love it and would really recommend!
Extremely impressive cordless lightweight vacuum.
This shark handheld vacuum is perfect for doing a quick daily clean around the house and getting into the them hard to get places.
It is lightweight so anyone can use it with ease and even with the anti hair wrap floor head it glides perfectly on the floor.
It has great suction power and there is even a boost mode for extra suction.
You can use the vacuum three ways:
1) as a full length floor vacuum with the anti hair wrap head
2) as a handheld with extension to get into the corners of the ceiling.
3) as a handheld for counter tops, in the car and for the stairs.
The anti hair wrap head works great and makes cleaning up hair easy and is especially great if you have got any pets.
The battery lasts about 15 mins and abit shorter if you continuously use the boost mode but it is enough time to give your floor a quick freshen up.
It has a LED screen which shows how much battery you have left, which is very handy.
Also the charging base has a place where you can charge an extra battery, which I thinks is great. So if you run out of battery you can quickly change the battery and carry on. I will be investing in an extra battery.
The vacuum is nice and compact and can easily be stored away as it has a charging base which the hoover stands and all of the accessories.
The dirt and dust collects in the handle so it isnt very big, but it is so easy to empty I don’t mind emptying it a couple of times while using it.
Overall I am really impressed with this vacuum as it does exactly what it says on the box.
If you are after a quiet, lightweight cordless vacuum look no further.
This is a review of the new Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner model number WV361UK and not the other versions of Shark vacuums on this Amazon page. Most significantly this vacuum is not just a handheld vacuum but also has an extension tube and floor head.
The vacuum came exceptionally well wrapped in an outer standard Amazon box, and inner Shark cardboard box for transport, and then in a retail box. Within the retail box each part of the vacuum was individually wrapped in paper or card. Whilst all this results in a vast amount of packing to dispose of the product arrives in perfect condition!
In the pack you get instructions, a floor base, a charging post, a power adapter, the handheld vacuum itself, an extension wand, the floor brush, a single battery, a crevice tool and a multi surface tool. You do not get a spare battery or a powered multi surface tool which will be available with other versions of this product.
There’s a bit of self-assembly required in terms of fitting the three elements of the stand together – the base, the charging post and the power adapter – but this only takes a few seconds. The vacuum itself needs to be assembled but this too is straightforward. The battery for the vacuum I received was only partially charged so I fully charged it before use which took a couple of hours. The default charging option is to place the vacuum on the freestanding power stand with the extension wand and floor brush attached.
The product exudes quality compared to cheaper alternatives. The finish is outstanding and it’s clear that a great deal of consideration has gone into the design. The vacuum is light, even with the chunky floor brush and extension wand attached. It’s far lighter without these elements and one of the smaller tools – the multi surface tool or crevice tool attached.
In use the vacuum is straightforward to use. There’s a single power button in the front of the device which starts the vacuum. A boost button is on the rear of the vacuum which activates when it’s held down and returns to normal power when it’s not depressed. Unusually for battery-powered vacuums I found the standard power more than adequate. The vacuum is not particularly noisy but nor is it particularly quiet. Three LEDs on the front of the vacuum show the current amount of battery power remaining. There’s also a slide button on the front of the vacuum which releases the spring-loaded waste compartment. Debris should fall from the waste compartment without the need to touch it directly.
The vacuum works in essentially three modes. First as a standard vacuum using the extension wand and powered floor brush. Second as a handheld vacuum and, third, as an extended handheld vacuum with the extension wand and exit either the crevice tool or multi tool attached. Cleverly the vacuum is heaviest when the floor brush is attached but since the vacuum rests on the floor the weight doesn’t matter much. It is very light in either of the two other operational modes.
Overall this all works very well. There are some negatives however. The waste compartment is tiny and will need emptying after every, or every couple of times, the vacuum is used. Plus it’s easy to empty the waste canister by mistake as it’s near to the on/off switch and when the canister is opened the content falls straight on to the floor. Shark have decided to use gravity to empty the bin and avoid the need to touch its content but as a result the bin emptied downwards! When using the standard cleaning power level the battery will only last for 16 minutes, and only 8 in high power mode – if you manage to keep your finger on the boost button for 8 minutes! In addition the vacuum in floor-cleaning mode will not stand up on its own – it has to be leant against something. Most significantly I found the charging system poor. The vacuum can only be placed on the power stand if it has the extension wand and the floor brush attached. Otherwise it will not engage with the power connection points in the power stand. This means that if you mostly use the vacuum as a handheld you’ll need to reconfigure it each time you use it and each time you recharge it. As a alternative you can forget about the charging stand completely and use the power adapter on its own to plug into the handheld directly.
Overall I’m quite impressed with this vacuum. Its build quality and finesse is far in excess of cheap generic models and it is well designed. My only real complaint is the charging system which seems poorly thought through. The small waste compartment and short battery life is really a product of making the unit as light as possible which seems to be a fair compromise. All this means that this is really an additional vacuum for any house, not a primary vacuum.
So, if you are looking for a quality, very light, second vacuum, this product works well. Four stars.
