Shark WANDVAC Cordless Handheld Vacuum in Slate (WV201)

Hard Floor Cleaning, Crumbs and Dust, Pet Hair, Car Interiors, Upholstery and Stairs, Quick Cordless Cleanups

Overview

The Shark WANDVAC WV201 is an ultra-light cordless handheld vacuum built around a high-speed brushless motor, and Shark lists it at just under 1.4 lbs so it can be grabbed and used one-handed. It is aimed at quick dry pick-ups rather than whole-room cleaning: kitchen crumbs, dust, pet hair, upholstery, stairs and car interiors. Power comes from a 10.8 volt lithium-ion battery that recharges on the supplied charging dock, which also stores two accessories so the vacuum stays charged and within reach. A one-touch button empties the 0.1 quart dust cup without touching the debris, the fabric filter is washable, and an LED indicator on the control panel shows battery and charging status. Shark does not publish a run time or an air watt figure for this model, and the specification table lists 2.29 lbs against the 1.4 lb figure used in the product copy.
