im 76 and i find it light and easy to use and really to on the stairs
Very pleased with this vacuum cleaner. Worth the money. Lightweight for anyone with back problems. Strong suction, easy to empty and manoeuvre. Easy to charge when placed on its own charging platform.
Bought this from Amazon not realising it was used. Works fine but wish I would have with have bought one with bigger dust bi
Got this as my primary vacuum cleaner, this work perfect and handy. Just be cautious, battery will last for 15 to 20 mins Max in one charge, if you split your work accordingly then it is a best fit. Else get an extra battery simply
I am delighted with this vacuum cleaner which was a gift. I have had it two months now. It is lovely to use. Light-weight. Powerful enough. Not too noisy. It kind of “steers” by twisting the handle a bit as you push it around so very easy to steer round furniture. A real joy to use. Only a very small dust container in the handle but it’s adequate and you can see easily when it is full. Two batteries means you never run out of juice. Frankly I’ve not needed the second one yet! The “brush” is a soft plastic strip rather than a brush like a normal vacuum cleaner but it works perfectly although struggles with long fluffy things like my bath mat. Works everywhere else though. Recommended.
So compact and does a great job of getting the dog hair up just have to remember to empty it more often x
Thoughtful design in every detail and works beautifully. Price is amazing compared to newer competitor handhelds.
Product design team should be applauded.
1) Comes with a stand so docking is really tidy
2) Looks good and super compact we keep ours proudly in the kitchen
3) Small dust bucket that is easy to empty – this is game changer – means we change habits to conveniently empty after each hoover with no mess vs putting off emptying a large bucket everywhere and pulling out trapped mess
4) Power management. Charges on stand, includes spare battery that charges on same stand, power monitor so you can see battery level.
5) Touch button controls where you fingers are not hidden away
6) Head glides on the floor and picks up from hard floor and delicate rugs gently
This is almost the perfect compact vacuum. Only negative is it comes with 3 attachments h but the stand only has a holder for one. So the others don’t dock away nicely.
Had the vacuum for a few days so real test will be durability. Our Dyson lasted 10years
Fantastic purchase especially given the price.
Great for getting in little corners of my apartment very flexible ball for the head of the hoover. being able to detach the long arm and use the short arm for little messes is great. Never had an issue with battery in my small studio. Hairs don’t get stuck, great suction.
It is a small container but holds a good amount!
Very lightweight to use,easy to empty, always a full battery as came with two. No rating on stairs as live in a flat.
This model has very small dust box, enough for 1 bed flat, but I may get the one with bigger dust box next time. Also this model doesn’t have handle and you have to hold the main body. but it makes it easy to pull out the top part to use as a handy cleaner.
This little vacuum has great suction power and the pile on our carpets is visible again! Also, no jammed brushes to clean, the hair just disappears. Very happy with it. It does have a small dust container but it is our habit to empty after each use anyway.
If I could wish for more it would only be a wider brush head because I don’t like using the motor heads on the hard floors.
Edit 8/2/2023. I haven’t changed my opinion of this machine in the last eight months, but today when I operated the release for the dust bin the plastic spring loaded hinge exploded. Disappointing.
I did a lot of research before buying a vacuum as I wanted to get the best for my money. This vacuum not only looks cool, it’s lightweight, has great suction for multiple floor types and the battery isn’t bad. If you run out of juice it takes all of 2 seconds to swap to another battery so it really isn’t an issue. Would recommend for sure
I have Arthritis in my wrists and I have not been able to use my hoover for over a year. I depended on people doing it for me. Now I can manage to do it myself.
I am loving it, is great for a quick clean, very light and easy to storage, not giving the 5 stars just because the power suction could be better but definitely do the work, very happy with the purchase.
Suction was very good and the spinning brush doesn’t flick the dust around.
You may notice I released the tank accidentally when turning it on, you will probably do this the first time also as the release is below the on off button. Probably another good reason to empty after each use.
Great vacuum.
I can honestly say this is without fail the best vacuum I’ve purchased yet! Had an Amazon canister vacuum previously that cost under 50 and was a fabulous buy with great suction on all floors despite not having a super filter and bulky to store and pull around but would still recommend and was worth every penny. previous to that I had a dyson – a pointless 350.00 that never seemed to work properly!
This product beats all hands down, is super light with brilliant attachments, a spare battery and a charging stand! I’ve never run out of battery whilst using and it’s super easy to empty! You won’t be disappointed.
The vacuum is better than I expected it would be on picking up dog hairs and other debris on the carpets, rugs and wooden floors.
I am writing this review because I have read some poor reviews of this item and was pleasantly surprised by the performance.
The vacuum is easy to take to pieces and the hand held is great for the car.
So far, so pleased. Thank you.
Shark has done it again! A very, very light weight hoover it’s as easy as pie with someone who has a back injury and fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel it’s a breaze I don’t have to wait for my family to hoover I can do it myself and for me that’s a big big deal!! THANKYOU SHARK!
It’s great, easy to use, battery keeps its charge quite well. Easy to empty. This is especially good if you have issues with your back as it’s great at manoeuvring around and under furniture. I’m delighted with this product.
I am pleasantly surprised by the suction power of this vacuum, It is more than capable of getting up dust and crumbs. The attachments are also very useful such as the smaller motorized head for stairs and furniture, cars, etc. Overall It is worth the investment. The second battery is actually separate which I didn’t realize at first so requires you to change when it runs out, as I only have a small house I have no need to do this so it’s probably worth getting one battery if you don’t mind waiting between charges.
It is very small, only about a foot long, with all the attachments it’s about 3 feet long
It’s extremely portable, it’s definitely the best hand held vacuum I’ve ever had
It comes with it’s own charging dock where you can charge and store it upright nicely
Attachments are easy to slip and slip off
Battery life is good considering the size, it’s doesn’t last for a long time but it’s physically very small, you couldn’t put a bigger battery in it
My only criticism is the release button to empty it is at the front, and a few times when I first started using it I accidentally pressed it thinking it was a release switch for the attachments
Overall, would recommend
This is a great lightweight and compact vacuum. It’s not the most powerful and it won’t replace your main vacuum but if you have a small flat where you don’t have a lot to vacuum then you should be okay. It’s also more suited to hard floors as the battery doesn’t last as long on carpet. For our house it’s impossible to vacuum everywhere without running out of battery so it’s more useful to keep as a quick easy to grab and use vacuum when needed.
It’s great there are different attachments and it’s quite long to reach the cobwebs high on the ceiling, being cordless is just so much easier. It’s surprising how much it can pick up in what I thought was a small dust chamber… just be careful to press the right button when changing attachments as the first time round I emptied the contents back onto myself.
I love this little vacuum for cleaning small things in the house, however not so much in the car. The suction, even with the boost just doesn’t really clean the carpets in the car or the boot lining as much as it should and this is one of the reasons I chose this vacuum. I’ll just stick to using it indoors.
I ordered this to use on the stairs and upstairs instead of having to carry the big hoover up and down the stairs:
– The hoover arrived in a really smart looking box with the handle, stem and head apart, a crevice tool, a
wider tool, charging base, cable and 2 battery packs.
– One thing I must mention is the packaging. This deserves 5 stars itself! Every single bit of the
packaging is recyclable! No plastic whatsoever! I was highly impressed!
– As with all Shark hoovers, this one was easy to clip together and be ready to use!
– Quality wise, it all feels very robust and of an excellent quality! Being robust but also lightweight!
– The charging base is easy to use and easy to clip the hoover on to. It just sits on the floor and is a bit
weighted to hold the hoover properly. There is also a charging point for the secondary battery as well!
– What I love about the base is that when the hoover is clipped on, it charges the battery in the hoover, as
soon as it’s done charging (which isn’t long), it then cuts that off and starts charging the battery in the
other charging compartment! There are indication lights on either bit to let you know as well!
– The cable is nice and long so you can plug it in most places!
– Suction power wise, it’s excellent! This hoover does a marvellous job at keeping the place clean!
– The container where the dust and everything is sucked in to is very small and needs emptying regularly.
– It can be difficult to tell which button to press to disconnect the stem and head from the handle, and
you sometimes end up with dust all over the floor where you’ve hit the release button for that
chamber.
– The battery lasts just over 30mins as advertised, and it’s easy to unclip the one in the handle, slide it
out, and replace it with the charged one from the base.
– The colour is excellent and looks very smart!
– It’s nice and compact.
Honestly, for the price, it is worth every penny! A typically brilliant Shark hoover that knocks Dyson out of the park! 100% would recommend this!
Bought this for the light weight, easy use and the none tangle brushes. My wife is petite and finds this useful, practical and very easy to use, since buying it she has hardly used her usual vacuum cleaner.
The instructions are easy to understand. It breaks down to use as a hand held or in between very easily, the tools are useful. Very pleased with it. In fact we take it with the caravan as it is very compact and easy to transport. Great to keep the floors clean from the detritus when camping.
Hoovering is now a pleasure. It stands well on its stand and charges quite quickly. I do have 2 batteries so don’t ever have to worry. I have a 3 bedroom bungalow, hard floors in the main living areas with bedrooms carpeted. One battery will go around the whole house with charge to spare. I have a spaniel in and out all day so I can now happily hoover several times a day with my light and efficient Shark taking the stress off us all. Would highly recommend
I actually purchased mine at Costco and saved about 70, however thought I’d write a quick review on this Shark product. It’s lightweight, simple and I was so surprised at how powerful this little thing is! We now don’t bother using the main vacuum, we actually just use this all the time, it’s so handy when you’ve got cats with litter, quickly cleaning the car, no job is too big for this little mighty shark!
Not as light as I imagined, but is perfect for a quick once over. I chose the rose gold as it came with two batteries (which I think is needed as power only lasts around 20 mins). The stand is great for storage and charging, but the hoover comes with three additional parts and the stand only holds one. It’s not a big issue but would be nice to keep all the parts together. Suction is okay, wouldn’t be used on tough jobs, but the handheld is great for a sofa, stairs and car.
Being disabled I find this excellent, lightweight, efficient, quiet and powerful suction. Easy to transfer to handheld. Love this product!
Shark hoovers are great. This makes a great 2nd hoover for hard floors. Not great on carpets
In order to provide a concise but informative review, I spent about a month using this vacuum at least 2-3 times per week. It impressed me at times but made me slightly disappointed at other times. Overall though, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something very small, convenient, versatile, and reliable.
What I liked:
– Suction power: I wouldn’t say it matches my Shark corded vacuum, but the suction power is amazing and just leaves me happy whenever I vacuum as I don’t need to hoover the same place twice.
– Portability: This is a compact vacuum. I mean it is the same size of other cordless vacuums I tried but once I use the handle only, I really feel how compact it is.
– Convenience: I have like 4 vacuum cleaners around the house. What annoys me most of the time is placement. Some of them came with a wall handle that requires drilling but I decided against that. I was very happy to have this coming with a charging station where the other heads are also placed. It just made my life easier and made me store the head properly and conveniently. The station also means that the vacuum is always charged and ready to be used, you can’t imagine how many times I needed a vacuum and ended up not finding a charged one, so this is definitely a plus.
What I didn’t like:
– Battery life: Like most vacuums, cordless ones are inconvenient with regards to battery durability. This one is no difference. I usually like to do vacuuming days where I clean the whole house but with this short battery life span, it is not feasible. You can get an extra battery but that’s a hassle to change if you ask me.
– Dust container size: You guessed it, it is small. I find myself emptying this vacuum more frequently than other ones. I wish it had a bigger compartment.
Verdict:
It does the job, it is meant to be compact, it is a good lightweight solution, and therefore worth it.
So well worth it for everything. Super powerful super renter friendly but so easy to clean. I have an animal with very fine hair and the attachments scoop it up so quickly and efficiently. My flat is spotless
Love the swivel head, ease of travel, simple to separate wand. Constantly available extra battery, sufficient for my bungalow – excellent WandVac. Very easy to empty. Might have to buy second filter only drawback is drying it out takes a while.
I was surprised by how good this cordless Shark is. I’d heard great things about them, but my previous experience with cordless vacuums hasn’t been great, however I needed a new vacuum and I’m so glad I chose this one.
The Good:
— It picks up brilliantly – dog, human and cat hair – without pulling mats up from hard floors.
— The anti wrap thing is amazing, meaning the brush bar never gets tangled.
— It works really well on carpets.
— It’s compact, lightweight and very easy to use.
— The design is brilliant, making it super easy to change the battery, change the nozzles and empty the bin.
— It has two batteries, so you can charge one while using the other.
— I’ve found the battery life pretty good, usually over 30 mins, long enough to tackle the whole house.
— I love that you can charge it both on the base and without it if you’re pressed for space.
— It has a good selection of tools to handle a variety of surfaces, and they’re very easy to swap about.
The Less Good:
— The bin is pretty small, so in a house with two long-haired people, a cat and three dogs I do have to empty it multiple times as I go along.
— It’s much better on carpet than hard floors, which since I have a mix of both can be annoying (but I can always use a broom, so not a deal breaker).
— It is top heavy, so can’t stand unaided, but you can either use the base or prop it up, so again, annoying but not too terrible.
The Bad:
— Honestly, I don’t have anything bad to say, except that perhaps a 3.5 hour recharging time is a little much, especially when the batteries don’t hold their charge for too long, but that’s a current tech issue more than this particular model. It does the best with what it has.
Overall, I’m delighted with this. It’s probably best suited to a small house or flat, or somewhere without so many hairy inhabitants, but nevertheless it tackles my three bedroom house with acceptable aplomb.
Really impressed with this hoover! Incredibly lightweight which makes it very easy to get out quickly. Does need emptying fairly frequently but this just justifies how good the suction power is, especially considering how small/lightweight it is and it’s so easy to empty with no mess that it’s really not a downside at all.
Battery is not the longest but is exactly as advertised. Personally I think between the spare battery and ease of use it’s been a happy compromise to make choosing this over a larger more awkward to use hoover!
Would recommend!
I ordered this Shark WandVac cordless vacuum cleaner as my Nan is struggling with the weight of her Dyson hoover.
Arrived in a branded cardboard box.
Great looking Hoover, slimline and light. Comes with a charging base that it sits on so Hoover is always fully charged.
Anti-Hair wrap floor head is perfect it you have pets, hairs don’t tangle around brushes. Very easy to fix attachments and changes uses of this Hoover, very good for cleaning up table mess, floor mess and also using wand to get all out of reach cobwebs.
Very short battery charge, last only 15mins. Suction is good but not over powerful, my Nan can fully operate this Hoover on wooden flooring and piled carpets.
Hoover is solid, there is no flexible vacuum pipe to twist and get to difficult to reach areas. This is a solid fixed design to provide quick and easy floor and hand held vacuum solutions.
Overall, if you are struggling to use you heavy hoover this is the solution for you as long as you are happy with 15mins of battery life.
I would recommend this product.
Shark which doesn’t bite, however do suck up a lot of dust and dirt around your house. This is my second hoover from this brand, I also owned a Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner which was too big to use it in my small apartment, so I’ve given it away as a donation. This WandVac model is much more convenient for me, has enough suction power and taking less space so it’s easier to store. Not to mentioned that great in price.
Arrived in a very well-presented box, I like when a company pays attention on small details and they design a visually appealing packaging, it gives you the feeling that this will be a great item even before you see what’s inside. Each item in the box were individually wrapped in a paper bag and separated with paper cradles to protect from any damage or scratches during the shipping. For me, who care about the environment this is absolutely an extra brownie point for Shark, using paper begs instead of plastic begs is much more echo friendly.
The feel, look and built quality of this vacuum is superb, it feels like a premium product. Theis Gold colour version is definitely winner for me it is modern end elegant at the same time, but they offer grey and purple coloured product as well. It’s super lightweight if you just using it as a handheld small vacuum without the extension and the floorhead attachment, but even if you use it as an upright vacuum, it’s just about 2-3 kilogram in total. Using just a head part is great for quick everyday use, to clean up small area. I think this is the best way to use this as the dust cup is pretty small so this vacuum is not designed to clean your whole house in one g (unless you are ok to empty the cup multiple times). The attachment and the floorhead works great too. It doesn’t lose a suction power by using attachments, and I’m super impressed how effective is the head to clean up hair and dog fur from the carpet or the floor. It can be a lifesaver for pet owners.
One of the selling points here is that this one is a cordless vacuum. No need to be plugged in so it gives a lot more freedom and ability to use at more problematic areas such like in the. I’ve not found any information regarding the battery size and capacity, however taking into consideration the size and the weight of this vacuum, it is probably small. The vacuum works around 12-14 minutes with one go from full charge. Not a long time but as I said this one is not a full-sized vacuum, so it comes with some compromise.
All in all, Shark is a good choice, perfect for homes with pets, for small offices and even for cleaning your car. Not the cheapest that’s for sure but it worth to pay the price in my opinion for a high quality, versatile and powerful vacuum cleaner.
This is very pretty looking cordless vaccum cleaner.
Having different brand cordless vaccum makes me feel that I want to compare them two -the Shark with Vax Blade 4 pet haccum.
Sharks is much lighter, especially the handle part. Shark has long and narrow battery which hides within the handle. Dust compartment is also much smaller then Vax. Filter is much smaller too.
Vax easily picks up hair from carpet and wraps up around the brush. If not cleaned often, the brush is not collecting as much of dirt than should. As far I’ve used Shark, it didn’t get any hair from my girls bedroom carpet wrapped up on vaccums brush so that’s a big bonus (at least don’t need to clean that so often like in Vax). When emptied the Shark dust container I saw some hair there so it actually collects them as well as dust and whatever found on the way..
Shark easier splits apart after pressing release button in comparison with Vax where force need to be added. The nozzles and the pole easily goes out of the position.
My Vax has a light option when using the brushes when vacuuming. It also has extra power button. Sharks doesn’t have the light. It has the extra power (Boost) button placed underneath the handle (rubber part underneath the index finger when holding it). This vaccum has basically one button operation plus booster mode which actually is not much different (Vax has 3 vaccuming modes).
Shark has heavy floor nozzle which works well with anti-hair wrap technology brushes. There is access to open the brush place if needs cleaning.
This floor nozzle can support the mid pole of the vaccum but will not hold the whole vaccum upright (standing on its own) due to the total weight of the handle (battery and dust bin included within it).
Vaccum comes also with slimmer nozzle and small brush nozzle.
The battery charges within 3.5 hours and that’s correct. I had to charge it on arrival. After quick vacuuming two rooms one battery level went down..and this vaccum doesn’t have the extra light which uses the battery.. I didn’t even use the extra boost button..
Speaking of charging option.. Shark comes with new to me charging base which also works as stand for the vaccum. This could work if we have enough space in the corner or storage place with a wall socket nearby.
I didn’t fully inserted it into the base yet because for now I will use the battery charger without the base.
I do like this vaccum just because is lighter when reaching top ceiling or doing the staircase. The heavy floor nozzle sits well on any type of flooring and helps to manoeuvre the vaccum easier (handle is lightweight, doesn’t make wrist more tired).
I decided to give it 4 stars for now.. Still getting used to it though.. Happens that I mistakenly opened the dust container when tried to remove the pole to use different attachment.. I’m sure I’ll get used to it..
We’re very much into technology and have bought and tried many vacuums in our lifetime.
This lightweight Shark is just what I was looking for. our current handheld Dyson found it difficult to manoeuvre over our recently laid thick-pile carpet upstairs.
This pet friendly Shark makes light task (literally and metaphorically) of the fur from our longhairs rescue Ragdoll cat. It’s also a breeze with long human hairs which don’t entangle around the rotating brush-head which is a huge improvement compared to other models we’ve used.
This Shark comprises of three tools:
* The standard floor motorised brush-head
* A crevice tool
* A bristle brush nozzle tool
+ A detachable and multifunctional wand which can fit on either of the three afore mentioned tools.
Unlike others, this vacuum does not come with a motorised handheld tool or a flat headed hand tool.
The inner dustpan is about the size of a cardboard cast-off from a toilet roll. it’s surprisingly small!
If you consider this lightweight cordless as a first-world equivalent to a dustpan and brush, you pretty much hit the nail on the mechanised head.
It took me 10 minutes the first time to sweep my entire landing, which isn’t small. Plus, it’s quite a thick pile as mentioned above. The machine holds about 17 minutes of charge, though I didn’t feel a palpable difference in the battery nor any dwindling after that time.
If you empty the dustpan after each use, just as you would a dustpan and brush then it’s always ready for the next use and it never really gets full unless you’re cleaning up a huge mess, such as a box of breakfast cereal.
It’s super simple to empty:
You simply hold it over a bin (I use our tiny little bathroom bin) and press the detach button. the lower end of the dustpan pops out and empties its contents. There is a little bit of dust collection around the walnut sized steel filter within the dustpan chamber. I just user a pincer action and pull the tuft of dust away.
It’s then ready for it’s next use.
I leave the Shark on charge all the time. It’s supplied with it’s own base station which is the size of a pizza box. its a matt black and not very attractive. This is something you might want to bear in mind, as the base station is a bit on an eyesore.
There is no doubt this is sleek looking stylish vacuum, that weighs next to nothing making it suitable for those that can’t lift a heavy weight. it’s also incredibly easy to push over our deep pile carper, it simply glides over. There are areas of ingrained fur, where the cat has napped and “bathed” herself which take a few extra glides of the Shark to move the debris.
The only little niggle is that the ‘on/off’ button is directly above the ‘dustpan release’ button. When i’m not paying attention, I do occasionally press the dustpan button. But luckily, as the vacuum is emptied in our little bathroom bin after each use, it always happens to be empty, sparing my feet of a small toilet roll cast-off-shaped cluster of dust.
4 stars
When I first saw this hoover I thought wow that’s expensive for a small stick portable hoover. However once it arrived I was immediately convinced it was worth it. The unboxing of this little machine showed me the hoover was up to sharks usual standards. The main brush while being heavier than I expected is solid and well made, nice and wide and far better than any stick hoover I’ve ever seen or used. The pole attachment quickly connected in place and I was even more surprised to find how easy it was to lock them together and separate them again. Finally the main hoover. Small and compact connected easily to the pole. Two button near the handle can quickly and easily disconnect this part too which is again very easy to do, these mechanisms alone show the quality of design and workmanship. Switching on the hoover I’ve found it far more powerful than any hand held hoover I’ve ever owned. Picks up dirt and dust so well, cat hairs too. Once you’ve finished take the hoover and hover over the bin. Push the release button and the hoover dustbin pops open dropping the dust straight to the bucket. No removing the dustbins or removing filters to get the dust out. Hit the button let it clean and close. Takes 2 seconds. If the filter does need cleaned it’s another simple click to remove it all. The hoover comes with a charging stand and a few other tools, crevice tool and multi surface tool. The whole hoover itself is heavier than most little hoovers but only with the big brush on which is worth the weight in my opinion. Without the brush head it’s weight is very reasonable and to be honest when the hoovers switched on and moving the weight is perfectly ok. The battery is tiny on this hoover. Last about 15 mins on normal mode, less if you hold the turbo button in but it doesn’t take long to charge and you wouldn’t use this as a main hoover, just one for cleaning the one room quickly or cleaning up a small area the kids have spilled dirt or something on. The hoover comes with a 2 year guarantee and given the very high level of quality I feel this is actually good value for money, compared to every other stock hoover I’ve had this is 100 times superior to them. Very happy with this hoover and would easily give it 6 stars if I could.
Wanted a cordless with good reviews that was reasonably priced and so picked it.
So far it’s lived up to expectations and I love it!
Yes it needs emptied after every use and has a short runtime but to me, great suction, lightweight, easy battery change and brilliant for using as a handheld far out ways any downsides.
it also looks cool and has its own station so no issues with trying to prop it up in a corner!
Did I mention it has two batteries, stops charging when ‘full’ and is well made???
Well there you are…
I absolutely love this Shark stick vacuum, it’s lightweight but still has brilliant suction. The charging base allows you to charge the battery on its own or charge it with the vacuum complete (it just hooks on), you even have room to store a spare battery. It comes complete with extra tools and a cap to put on the battery compartment if you’re removing the battery for charging. The suction seems to be as strong with the large floor brush, or with the full length without brush, as it is when you remove it to use as a mini vacuum. The dust compartment is small, as is the filter, but we haven’t had any issues with blockages – we do empty it regularly, and I suggest doing so over a bin as it opens right up. It has easy releases to remove the top part and pipe and great rotation on the floor brush.
The vacuum also has a boost function, we haven’t really needed to use it as the the suction is excellent. I was really surprised how powerful this is with the floor brush, I’ve stopped using my larger stick vacuum (also Shark) as I get the same performance but this is easier for me to manage as it’s so light. The battery only lasts around 15 minutes but we always put it back on charge so it’s always ready for me to use. I wanted a lightweight stick vacuum for cobwebs on the ceiling (I have fibromyalgia/arthritis) and this is manageable for me. I’m able to use this daily for general vacuuming now too, something I wasn’t able to do myself with our heavier vacuums.
This stick vacuum is currently 179.99 so it’s competitively price. It’s the cheapest of my 3 sharks (I also have the lift away and a long lasting cordless stick with large dust compartment) and it suits me perfectly. My husband and son use the other ones for general cleaning but they do use this for quick clean up too. Most of all I like having one I can actually use myself.
This is a fantastic cordless hoover. It’s really lightweight with a slim profile and it is easy to maneuver. The suction power is excellent and the battery lasts ages. Really impressed with this compact hoover.
So we have reviewed it from this perspective.
It is probably the lightest of the cleaners we have ever tested or used. It is certainly lighter than the V10.
It has a very good suction and the power head works well to complement this making it good at what it does. We have two very hairy cats and it does a good job of picking up their hair even when you can’t see it on the floor.
First negative I can see for some is the very small dust collection chamber. However, the cleaner certainly packs the dirt in and it is easily emptied. This also makes the cleaner easier to use due to it’s reduced mass. As a consequence we use it more than we anticipated when we purchased it.
Second negative. The charging. I like the fact it can be charged in the stand and that a second battery can be charged at the same time in the stand. However, I don’t like that you can’t charge it free standing if you want to as the plug doesn’t fit. This wasn’t a big issue for us but I could see how it might be for some.
This review is from the standpoint of owning and using one now for several months in a three bed house with three adults and two cats
There is lots to say positive about this cordless vacuum cleaner but didn’t lack some of bad designs too.
It is worths to start with general look, because this vacuum is beautiful. Slim, stylish, nice gold color. Definitely can be part of house accessory when left anywhere. Big advantage of this Shark WandVac vacuum is definitely lightweight as well size since it is very small vacuum which also brings one downside as well. Very easy to manoeuvre between furnitures, very agile and since it is very light it is no problem to lift it up to clean under ceiling for longer period of time without pain in hand. Suction power is enough for both laminate and thinner carpets however on carpet took me a bit longer to pull all dirt and hair. I rather hesitate to use turbo speed because it does drain battery like crazy and it wouldn’t probably last even a 7minutes. So for this size vacuum suction is ok for me.
Some negatives. Due to it’s size there must have been some compromises. Unfortunately it affects quite important parts for me which is battery and dust/dirt compartment. Both are small unless you don’t use vacuum for longer than 14-16 minutes. That is right, battery on normal speed only last in my case between 14 minutes and 16 minutes. It is probably not enough if you leaving hoovering on end of week and usually do whole house in one go. This vacuum is simply to use in one or 2 room on end of the day every day. Just gently pick up what you left on that they. There is no way you can do whole house in one charge with single battery. I get the idea, keep cleaning more ofter. Then even dust compartment is ok-ish since there won’t be that much to fill whole. Emptying it is easy but i noticed it does involve you to physically grab for them hairs, and other stuff with hand to take it from filter. After pressing button it ejecting hatch but rubbish stays there. Not big deal but was hoping I won’t need to touch it.
Depending on which model you are buying, in gold you have only 1 battery and 3 different replaceable heads with charging stand. Seems like pretty good deal but i missing end for stairs since none of the heads included doesn’t fit purpose for stairs.
Price wise it is for individual to calculate, i can justify spending 200 for this and genuinely believe it is worth that much since lots of technology and design been involved in this.
This Shark cleaner is well-made and easy to use, but you couldn’t really make it the main piece of equipment for vacuuming your home. Why? Well, the crazily small dust collector that sits on the handle fills rapidly, battery life is only 16 minutes, and the suction power, no matter what the claims of the manufacturer are, comes nowhere close to any Dyson cleaner I’ve tried. On the plus side, the anti-tangle brushes work well and saves time cleaning hair etc from those after you’ve used it. The wand cleaner charges on a neat base unit, and you can separate the handle, making the hand-held top part very convenient for using on stairs, in the car, or on furniture. It’s pricey for sure, and those looking for a compact lightweight second cleaner may well find something cheaper and just as effective from another make. Equipped with a couple of useful add on cleaning tools. Watch out if you do go for this – the battery charger cable plug is tucked away deep in the over-the-top packaging and is easily missed when unpacking it all. Almost threw it out!
I loved my Henry, but at age 71, I needed something lighter, this Shark ticks all the boxes of what I needed a vacuum cleaner to be.!
I love it being so lightweight and easy to carry around. I have two flights of stairs and find that I can finish one floor, put it back on to charge while I finish and it’s ready to carry on to the next floor, cleaning the stairs as I go. After lugging around a Henry for twenty years, this is a dream. As a plus, I looked after my daughter’s cats for a year, about six years ago, thought I’d got rid of all the cat hair but the first few times I used my Shark, the container was full of cat hair!!!I
I loved my Henry, but at age 71, I needed something lighter, this Shark ticks all the boxes of what I needed a vacuum cleaner to be.!
What DON’T I like?
The on/off button is directly above the dustbin release button, which also acts as the boost button. Yes, you’ve guessed it. I keep emptying the bin in the middle of the carpet. Rather a stupid design I think. Come on Shark. You get everything else right, let yourself down on this point.
Once the 2 batteries are exhausted it’s 3+ hours before they’re ready for another round of cleaning.
But apart from that I’m delighted. Much better than my old GTech and the horrendous Hoover battery vac I bought a year ago.
I really like this; it’s powerful, and easy to handle and use. However, the lightweight battery means it will only last about a quarter of an hour of use before needing a recharge.
It’s very smart-looking on its charging base and the build quality is excellent. I’m happy with the suction power for such a small unit, especially while the ‘turbo’ button on the underside is pressed. Although the dust container is small, it flips open to empty very quickly, and because the suction of the thing compresses the waste together, it fits in more than expected.
Because of the short battery life, it’s not suitable for cleaning the entirety of a house – but I don’t think the expectation is that it will. It’s so lightweight it’s a breeze to use for cleaning the stairs and getting round corners – as well as convenient to grab for minor spills or kitchen crumbs. For minor jobs (or if you live in a studio or a one-bed place) it’s fantastic.
This Shark wandvac is a pretty light cordless handheld which comes with a a crevice, multi surface and broad head set of tools
Now when you get it, you really don’t need the instructions to put it together as everything just slots and hey presto you’ve got the vac ready to go
It then fits onto the charging base and that’s it
I will say that I did have a quick play with it with the small amount of charge it actually came with.
After all who doesn’t want to switch their new tech ones soon as you get it home?
Actually it was lucky the dust collector was empty as the button to open that is straight under the power switch and I accidentally slid that into open and the dust lid popped open. Will know not to do that after it’s been used
Once I actually set it onto charge for the 3+ hrs I tried it again and found it does pick up all the bits of fluff and dust from both carpets and hard floors.
But the charging level indicator went down pretty quickly. I then read the instruction booklet and found out you’re going to be getting a max of 16mins per charge
I’d say this is more like something you use to sweep up the occasional spillage and keep things clean between using the main vacuum cleaner.
Unless you can somehow manage to clean the entire house in 12-16 mins that is
The dust collector is pretty small too which reinforces the idea this is meant for light use but it does come with a good amount of suction
Final point is that the anti hair wrap technology should stop all those long pet/human hairs from clogging the head up as it uses flexible fins instead of bristles
The Shark Wandvac is an excellent handheld vacuum that has great suction power, is very lightweight even with all attachments, but poor battery life. The floor “dock” for the product is a cool addition and sits nicely in our cupboard, has space for an extra battery, however batteries are only available at the manufacturer’s website and are priced at about 70 each, about half of the whole vacuum.
It has around 12 minutes, which is enough to do a couple of rooms fairly thoroughly; in my 3 bedroom house this equates to about a floor per charge.
I had never tried Shark before. We have had Dyson and GTech, both over rated in my opinion, and several others.
The Shark handheld actually picked up dirt and hairs in the car. I have never had a hand held/ battery vaccuum cleaner that would do that. Much better than the GTech Multi in my experience.
The add-on sweeper brush attachment was a great bonus for an extra 30 or so. This seems to be as good as the GTech Air Ram and cheaper BUT the dust reservoir is much smaller.
I would say this is a good second vac for stairs, cobwebs on curtain tops, etc and the car; plus the occasional quick whizz round the kitchen to pick up crumbs.
Based on this I will definitely consider a Shark Upright when we get fed up lugging the Dyson around.
Just taken delivery of my new shark today after getting fed up of lugging our old corded vacuum up and down the stairs. I’m not much of a reviewer normally but having heavily relied on them to chose my model thought i would leave some feedback. Firstly it took 5 minutes to assemble which was great, takes a few hours to charge then was really impressed – it’s light and easy to manoeuvre as the head swivels, it seems to pick up bits close to the skirting and brilliantly folds flat to get under sofa etc. Seems quite powerful and good on either hard floors or carpets, the hand held is so easy to clip off if you need to use it to get in little spaces and handy for stairs etc. Some people have said chamber fills up quick which it does but so easy to empty with just to press of a button so really no issue. Have never had a ‘stick; vacuum before so cant compare to others but for its price this is brilliant and almost makes hoovering a pleasure – almost 🙂
Already have a Henry for serious vacuuming around the whole house. This little Shark vacuum is perfect for a quick run round the kitchen l, dining room and lounge to pick up crumbs , dust, etc before guests arrive. It’s ultra lightweight so easy to use. Solid good quality plastics so feels sturdy. The dust collector is small but it’s plenty big enough to do the whole ground floor of our house. It’s also easy to empty. It’s much easier to use than our old Dyson cordless. Definitely recommended.
Absolutely love this vacuum. The suction is good and the waste is quick & easy to empty.
Only 2 issues. Firstly, the button to release the waste is right next to the power button. This has resulted in a few unfortunately timed emptyings! Secondly, you can only charge the batteries by plugging them into the base unit. I would have liked an option to charge the batteries via a charging cable when I tidy away the base storage platform.
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
Highly recommended
Highly recommended
The hoover is really easy to maneuver, great for every day use.
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
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.
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.
I did have a few mishaps where I pulled the wrong button and all the dirt I’d hoovered up fell on the floor. I’m now more cautious lol
Now that I’ve got the negative out of the way I’ll now tell you how much I love this hoover. This vac comes with a storage base that doubles up as a charger for the vac. The hoover standing on the stand isn’t too bulky.. as I use our conservatory the most I keep it in here and it’s not obtrusive. This is a nice light vac so it’s easy to just grab and hoover and spillages
Once charged you don’t get very much hoover time but personally I’m okay with this. I usually clean room by room and then hoover each room before I move onto the next so this way it gives the vac time to recharge.
My partner has used this to vacuum his car and had no problem with it.
Different heads included allows you to hoover stairs etc without any problems.
I am very happy with this handheld vacuum cleaner.
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 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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
