Shark WV201 WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum: Lightweight and Powerful at Just 1.4 Pounds

Monika: It works well, compact and not terribly loud. But mine came without the Accessory Storage Tray. I'd have to return the whole thing and wait for a refund/replacement blah, blah, blah. For the price it is annoying but it's not something I really need. So I'll keep it but disappointed.

Maggimay: Wow. This little thing is so great, and so convenient, you start walking around just hunting for things you can vacuum up since it makes it fun and easy! Lightweight, quiet, easy to hold and use, particularly with the 2 additional nozzles. Quick charging, incredibly easy to dump the catch bin. FANTASTIC for an RV or anywhere else you don't have room for or want to pull out a big vac!

R. W.: I love this vacuum. Not a day goes by that I don’t use it for small jobs. I can’t speak to how long the battery lasts because we always have it sitting in the charging base and only use it for small jobs. When you have a toddler in the house, this thing comes in handy. Our little one can even use it herself!

Frups: overpriced for such a small unit

S. Mosher: This vac is perfect for my two target chores — cleaning stairs and sucking up cat litter — and I would have given it a 5-star review except for two deficiencies.

#1: As other reviewers have noted, it’s impossible for most people to get at the cloth filter for cleaning without the use of a tool. What worked for me is a plastic paint scraper. Sturdy enough to pry off the filter cover with no risk of scratching or gouging the vac.

#2: Short run time: I followed instructions to fully charge and then fully discharge on first use, but still get less than 10 minutes of usage, which means there still are chores that will require the big plug-in vac. However, I find this an acceptable trade-off for the light weight since that leaves me with no excuse to carry it along when I head down the stairs to clean the litter box.

Dallas Electronics Fan: Consumer Reports was my first stop before purchasing this. They're a great first step before purchasing something you have no experience with. This is a CR top pick. Vacuum Wars is also good resource.

Important side note: Immediately after unpacking and before charging, remove the filter housing and look at the label that lies underneath. I have two of these. One of the labels ID's the model number as 'WV201 14' and the other 'WV201 U4'. They are virtually identical in external appearance. Both were advertised as WV201. No distinction between the two in the advertising. The 'WV201 14' is rated at 10.8v and the 'WV201 U4' at 7.2v. Both were advertised as new, not used.

The chargers are likewise identical externally but have different wall warts. The 'WV201 14' dock/charger is rated at 13.3v and 0.9a and the 'WV201 U4' dock/charger is rated at 9.6v and 500mA.

This is important for two reasons. If you have two in the same household and accidentally place one in the wrong charger, it probably won't be dangerous but may lead to charging issues as I found out. When swapped, I got a continuous double blink from the vac's LED and it didn't charge.

Secondly, the...

barbara nardia bryant: I am very pleased with it but it came with a weird plug and needed an adaptor before I could use it.
