Is this the item you're talking about? https://www.costco.com/shark-wandvac-cord-free-handheld-vacuum.product.100679635.html If so, I bought one in the summer of 2020 and I love it. I live in a small space with hard floors, so I don't necessarily need a full size vac. This plus an occasional sweeping works perfectly for me day to day. The upholstery attachment does a great job vacuuming the two rugs I have. My previous experience with handvacs is that they normally start losing battery and then just stop working in less than a year, but this has been going strong for me this entire time. I also forgot to clean out the filter for 2 years (oops), but it still worked lol. And then it worked SUPER GOOD once I cleaned that out I probably use this every other day to quickly go over the exposed hard floor areas that collect loose hairs and dust with the extended brush handle, and quickly sweep over the rugs once a week. I probably spend 5 minutes doing either. This vacuum works well and really helps my place keep clean. I highly recommend it! Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/Costco on Reddit: Shark Wandvac? Any complaints or other recommendations?
December 21, 2022 -

My place is only 792 squire feet. I have an older corded shark regular-size vacuum but want something smaller for a regular clean up and I do have a dog so I would like something decent for dog hair and crumbs on the counters and floor. I don't mind-bending. I have mostly hardwood floors besides a rug that I can use the larger vacuum when needed. I really want something convenient so I will actually use it. Trying to live a more clean lifestyle in many ways.

December 17, 2024 -

Just used my brand new Shark Wandvac with great expectations! HOWEVER, if you don’t want to get your hands in the dirt and hair you just vacuumed up DO NOT BUY. The power is great. Weight is awesome. BUT the “Hygienic one-touch debris emptying” is truly a 100% deceptive statement. I tried multiple times to do the one-touch empty process and it is purely a joke. I tried to keep my hands clean and use a paper towel to pull out the dirt. HA HA. It took multiple attempts and I needed to pull literally ALL the dirt out by hand. Yes, there was some hair/carpet pet hair and dirt from the corner of the baseboard, but the animal hair is from a non-shedding dog, so not a lot nor long. The dirt cup is also very small. Other than the size and shape, it is very poorly designed. I wanted to love it so much and have had other Shark items through the years. But this hand vacuum is a bust. And at $100+ it is a double bust.

r/MamaMustHaves on Reddit: Shark WV201 WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum (Honest review after 3 months)
September 30, 2024 -

I recently picked up the Shark WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum to help keep up with the constant mess from my kids and pets, and here's what I found:

My Experience

  • Lightweight & Easy to Use: At only 1.4 pounds, it's super easy to grab and maneuver for quick cleanups.

  • Strong Suction: Surprisingly powerful for its size—handled pet hair and crumbs without a problem.

  • Quick Charging: The charging dock is sleek, and it doesn’t take long to juice up.

  • Limited Battery Life: It runs out of power after about 10 minutes, but it’s fine for smaller jobs.

  • One-Touch Empty: Emptying the dust cup is a breeze, but it fills up pretty quickly.

Overall

Great for quick cleanups around the house, especially if you’ve got kids or pets, but be prepared to empty it often and recharge frequently.

I'm also finding its declining in suction from day 1 to now.

I'm curious if anyone has tried both and which is better and why. I have the ultra cyclone but am thinking of getting the wandvac.

I'd like something to take with me in my vehicle to clean it up while waiting for my next job.

I hear the wandvac is lighter and more powerful and batteries are swappable.

r/VacuumCleaners on Reddit: Shark WANDVAC Only Has Suction When Fully Covered?
August 19, 2024 -

I bought a brand new Shark WANDVAC and it seems like it only has suction when the end of the vacuum is completely covered by a surface, and almost none when actually trying to use the vacuum unless on a flat surface and holding the vacuum at the perfect angle. It blows air like crazy out the side of the vacuum when there's no suction and stops blowing air when there is suction (ie. when the end is fully covered)

I dont know if this is what's supposed to happen or if im missing something. I don't think its the battery cause I've let it charge for days at a time multiple times

Anyone know what is going on?

September 20, 2023 -

More specifically, the Shark Wandvac WV201GNBRN is on sale right now, although I'd be down for any suggestions of Shark Wandvacs that are also wet vacs.

I'm disabled, and transient, and travel a lot (I don't have a permanent residence as of yet while filing SSI), and needing something small that I can keep by a bedside for occasional messes, and for cleaning off counters without having to wipe things up or off onto the floor (both are painful); it needs to be able to suck up wet food for related reasons.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I don't really have a price range, although I'd be down to hear them at varying points; I was ready to buy a Shark Vac at full price for $130, but I genuinely can't find a single other device that acts remotely like the Shark Vac at any price point, so I'm down for suggestions.

I found a couple wet/dry cordless vacuums: Dirt Devil Quick Flip Wet/Dry Vac $49 . Small dustbuster sized hand vacuum. Dirt Devils are pretty cheaply made. Black + Decker DustBuster Quick Clean Wet/Dry $34 . Black + Decker makes the worst vacuums. Please avoid this. Black + Decker DustBuster Advanced Wet/Dry $59 . Bigger version of #2, still the worst vacuum brand, please avoid. Ryobi One+HP 18V Cordless Wet/Dry Hand Vac $79 . Ryobi uses a removable and replaceable battery system. The Ryobi Dimensions: H 4.85 in, W 4.39 in, D 18.12 in. The Shark WandVac is 16.5 in L x 2.5 in W x 2.4 in H. So The Ryobi is wider by 2 inches and only longer by 1.62 inches. My pick would be the Ryobi because it's more powerful has a removable and replaceable battery. I hope things get better for you in the new year. Anyone who researches vacuums is pretty sharp in my book. I believe in you.

It's possible someone else has already discovered this, but if so, don't tell me because I feel like a genius. Shark Wandvac, with the long attachment, can be used to suck up unwanted insects and/or arachnids from your home... humanely! Suck them up, turn off vacuum, observe your captive critter for some amount of time in the safe plastic container, and then fling them out side with the door trigger!

It's pretty fun and I like having a way to preserve their existence outside of my home.

Good hunting!

Dyson has a sale going on. They’re offering the v8 absolute for $349 and the v10 cyclone absolute for $399. Are these worth it even if they’re older models?

Or am I better off just getting a Shark Wandvac for half the price ($180) or the Dyson Omni glide (even though it has much less battery life at $320)?

Is the vacuum charging at all? Does it charge from 1 light to 2? I don't think it would charge at all if there was a problem with the connectors. I think if it is still charging the most likely problem is the battery is wearing out or it has a failure in one of the cells. Batteries across all brands are the main source of problems in cordless vacuums.
