Shark WV201BLBRN WANDVAC Cordless Hand Vac, Lightweight and Portable at 1.4 lbs. with Powerful Suction, Charging Dock, One-Touch Empty for Car & Home, Cove Blue

Definitely recommend the Shark Wandvac. Works Great! Powerful & very easy to operate. There is an extension that you can put on it just by sliding it over the end of the tool. The extension also has a brush on it that you can either swing it into place or not. The extension makes it quite a bit longer which definitely helps me to pick up items on the floor that I normally could not bend over and pick up. There is a small collection area that you can activate to open just by sliding a button forward. There is also a filter that you can remove and clean. If you have an air compressor it helps otherwise you use a small brush on the outside of the filter to get most of the particles off or you can purchase more filters online.Note: it’s funny, but my son’s Welsh Corgi wants to go after it & bite it & chew it. We have to be careful he is not around when we turn it on and use it!

After receiving delivery from Amazon of Shark’s WV201RGBRN WANDVAC Cordless Hand Vac, I learned the following:1. Receiving a product from Amazon does not mean that the product received is as-intended at time of purchase. I received an unsealed product box with an attachment missing. As directed by the product brochure, I called the SHARK Customer Service number. (The brochure is -- and should be -- enclosed in the product box.) I spoke with a very kind, responsive, and responsible SHARK CUSTOMER SERVICE representative. He advised me to register the Shark product (which I did by providing him with the requested information). He IMMEDIATELY facilitated dispatch to me of the missing attachment to the vac.NOTE: I called SHARK on Tuesday (after receiving delivery and checking the product box contents) and received the attachment from SHARK on Saturday. SHARK provided contemporaneous information re. fulfillment, dispatch, and delivery. I rate SHARK OUTSTANDING. (Thank you, SHARK!)2. It was only after I called SHARK that I noted two Amazon coded stickers on the product box (a red and a white sticker that I have not previously encountered with prior purchases). Accordingly, I reached out to Amazon to ask if the product I received was new product or returned merchandise. I did NOT receive an answer to my question but noted that Amazon unilaterally began a 'RETURN" process -- directing me to go to a UPS Store that same week -- within a couple of days. When I objected and noted that I had registered the purchase and intended to keep it, I was also told that replacement (that I, also, did not request) would NOT be possible.3. By this point in time I had watched multiple Youtube videos about the Shark Ion handheld vac and I used the vac; I realized that, among other things:a. It is an effective and impressive cleaning applianceb. It has small dust cup capacity and needs to be emptied perhaps more frequently than experienced by some consumers with other product..c. If not emptied and/or if the filter needs cleaning/changing, the fully charged vac may, among other things, cut-off and/or otherwise not effectively perform. (Some posted that the product may feel warm.)d. Per the instructions, even fully charged produces minutes of operation. (The internet -- consumer postings) indicate ranges of time from 3 to 8 to 10 minutes; the outer end (not often mentioned) was 30 minutes.e. Despite what may be considered practical operational 'limitations', the effectiveness of the fully functioning vac is lauded. It is important to keep in mind the manufacturer's representations regarding intended use (such as small spill cleanup).4. My personal conclusions:a. This product, perhaps designed as a limited-use handheld, is so effective in short-time use that consumers wish there was longer operational time and larger capacity. It is lightweight and well-designed. It is VERY effective/powerful when appropriately functioning.b. This clean-up tool is not designed for longer time and larger capacity use.c. SOME CONSUMERS report longer operational time and less need to clean or change filters.d. It may be prudent to have a supply of filters on-hand.e. SHARK has evidenced caring about its product and consumers being able to use their products effectively.f. YOUTUBE videos, as well as information provided by SHARK in its brochure and other product-related information, help even the most unmechanically-inclined consumer to understand product operation and care.5. I have encountered challenges with my purchase of this product but at this point in time I would not hesitate to purchase additional Shark products from SHARKAt this point, given the foregoing about the handheld vac I have had for less than one week, I am impressed that SHARK cares about its products and consumers of its products.I have concerns about long-term full functionality and keeping the product plugged in/charging continually but will rely on SHARK instructions.

One of the handier devices I've purchased in the last decade or so. That from a convenience and prolific use perspective. Crumbs on a counter-top are a bane to my eyes. We have an island counter plus 2 very long counters on either side of our kitchen. A lot of space for crumbs to land. I've never much been a fan of the swipe-with-sponge-into-hand method of removal either.So, this small but very powerful vacuum sits hidden away against an inside wall on my kitchen-counter. I grab it up 10-15 times a day to quickly zip the tiniest debris off the counters. Also very handy for those bits that do land on the floor near the counters. We have a German Shepherd and even her tumble-weeds of hair that occasionally billow out onto the floor are quickly removed by the powerful suction of this small hand-held.I'm going on 2 years with this one with no problems whatsoever. I found it so indispensable I bought one for each of my 3 daughters for Christmas last year. They use theirs daily as well. Get one..you'll be glad you did!
