The Dyson V7 and Shark WANDVAC have different strengths and weaknesses, which is normal for vacuums with different intended uses. The Shark is a dedicated handheld vacuum for spot cleaning that feels sturdier and lighter, is easier to maintain and store, and clears more debris on bare floors. The upright/handheld Dyson is better for clearing large sections of the floor due to its larger dirt compartment, longer continuous runtime, and broader selection of tools and brushes. Spills are unpredictable, but you can make sure you’re ready for them with this dustbuster® 12V MAX AdvancedClean™ Cordless Hand Vacuum. Its high-performance motor was built to provide 3X more suction power. While messes are not usually enjoyable, they can be made easy to clean up with this vacuum’s extra-wide nozzle that was designed to accelerate the tidy-up process.
Rounded to the nearest pound, it includes the battery or cord. How long, rounded to the nearest hour, it took to fully recharge a discharged battery. Among 6 choices, these s have the highest satisfaction ratings with Lowe’s customers. While these might be the highest rated, what you choose should fit your needs, so consider features such as Cordless, Made for Pet Hair and Bagless when making your selection.
A powerful stick-handheld vacuum that is easy to maneuver and easily converts into a handheld vacuum. The CHV1410L can’t clean upholstery all that thoroughly, as debris, especially hair, tends to cling to fabric, and this model has neither the suction nor the right tools to offset that clinginess. And because this model has no hose or pivoting nozzle, and its crevice tool is comparably large, using it to clean at odd angles is a hassle. To test pet-hair pickup, we spread a handful of fur (from a local groomer) into a rug and then try to pick it up with each vacuum. If a model comes with an attachment that may improve pet-hair pickup, such as rubber nubs—or better yet, a motorized brush—we use it.
It lasts up to 15 minutes on a single charge, which is a lot when you’re only doing spot cleaning and shorter chores. And its washable HEPA filter cleans the air as you vacuum, instead of kicking the debris back outside. The included 20V 2.0 Ah Max Lithium battery and charger gives you freedom from the cord shark stick vacuum and can be used on any other Worx 20V tool in the PowerShare family. The Ryobi 18V One+ Performance Hand Vacuum Kit offers powerful suction, long battery life, and a larger bin than almost any other cordless handheld vacuum we’ve tested. It easily picks up dust, cereal, and other common household messes.
The Shark WANDVAC is a poor fit for workshop cleaning, though that’s a long way from its intended use case. It doesn’t have the necessary debris capacity to handle bulky workshop debris like wood or metal shavings, and it will be damaged if you use it for cleaning up liquid spills. Match your car to your style with varied car accessories like seat covers, floor mats and more.
Many portable vacuums come with attachments like crevice tools, which allow you to clean tight corners and small spaces with ease. Rechargeable batteries make it easy to keep these tools powered up. This versatile vacuum comes with 6 different cleaning attachment accessories to tackle any cleaning job from floor level to overhead. The hand vacuum can be used to handle smaller messes or used in combination with the extension tube and floor accessory to clean up floor areas. A HEPA Filter allows for clean efficient cleanup of fine dust and drywall and follows OSHA Table 1 Compliance under housekeeping rules.
It’s similarly easy to clean, with all filters coming clean with plain running water. Several users expressed concern about the battery life being too short. Shark handheld vacs are bagless; the debris they pick up is stored in a canister and emptied periodically.
The Shark WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum has a narrow head design that reaches into small spaces. It’s Shark’s lightest vacuum at a mere 1.4 pounds, making it a great choice for those with limited strength and mobility. We love how closely it can get to walls and furniture to pick up every crumb. While the battery isn’t replaceable, the filters, belt, beater bar, and charger are. (Both filters are also washable.) Black+Decker’s customer service is excellent, often requiring no wait time, and you can order parts via eReplacementParts.com.
This model’s built-in, extendable crevice tool sucked up baking soda, glitter, birdseed, Cheerios, and cat litter from both carpets and bare floors with ease. The Wyze Handheld Vacuum is better than the Shark WANDVAC. The Wyze delivers better performance on bare floors and high-pile carpet, comes with a broader assortment of tools, lasts longer on a single charge, and has a larger dirt compartment. Meanwhile, the Shark has virtually no recurring costs and does a better job sucking up fine debris, like baking soda, from low-pile carpet. The Shark WANDVAC and iRobot H1 each have their own advantages.
