It feels sturdily built, too, and it does a good job of cleaning most kinds of debris on various surface types. You need to work quickly, as it has a very short battery life, even for a handheld vacuum. With its upholstery tool, this vacuum does a decent job clearing away pet hair on fabric furniture. It easily clears away longer strands, but you’ll need to make a few extra passes to clean up shorter strands. You might also need to empty its dustbin if you have a lot of hair to clean up, as it loses suction power quickly as its dustbin fills up.
The Shark® WANDVAC® Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum is the extraordinary answer to your everyday mess! This sleek handvac combines lightweight portability with the incredible suction power of a high-speed brushless motor. The earlier, very similar, model of this Shark wandvac was named the best compact model in our guide to the best handheld vacuums to buy. Spring has finally sprung, which means it’s time to start busting the dust with the big annual spring clean. When it comes to keeping your home sparkling, a handheld vacuum is one of the best gadgets you can have in your cleaning arsenal. Given the lower price point, we’d say this is a solid choice for anyone expecting a vacuum that works incredibly well on pet hair, carpets and upholstery.
They’re perfect for small spills or maneuvering in tight spaces. In our testing, the CHV1410L had no trouble sucking up crumbs and dirt off bare surfaces like countertops and windowsills. For easy jobs, it was just as effective as a more powerful model, such as the AdvancedClean+ HHVK515JP07.
There are currently two main variants of this vacuum, which differ only in terms of included attachments. We tested the ‘Slate’ variant of the WV201, which is available in a number of colors, and you can see its label here. We can’t say if the WV200 series performs similarly due to its differently configured combination tool. We’ve done the research on products designed to save you time and money.

For a limited time only, shoppers can buy it for just $100—that’s $30 off the original price. Just like the Stratos, the Shark Cordless Pro easily converts to a handheld vacuum. This is super handy for tackling shelving and eliminating debris from couches and crevices. A manual boost function bolsters its performance when faced with especially high carpet or big pieces of debris. Overall, it’s a bit of a bust on extremely hairy floors (hair tends to collect and wrap in the brush roll), but for households without pets its a solid pick. When it’s time to look for a new vacuum, the options are almost overwhelming.
But they can’t easily pick up and properly filter dust and other fine particles, and bigger debris fills up the small dustbin too quickly. In addition, these models are effective only on hard surfaces. As much as we adore our furry little friends, there’s no denying that pets can create a lot of mess around the house. From stray hairs that just won’t seem to budge, to sawdust and cat litter spillages, there’s always something to tidy up. With powerful suction and three clever attachments to target hard-to-reach areas and remove embedded hair, Shark’s HandVac Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is designed for homes with pets. And of course, even if you don’t have pets, it’s great for all those little cleaning jobs around the home where you don’t want to drag a big heavy vacuum cleaner back and forth.
The Shark Cordless Pet Perfect XL LV901 Handheld Vacuum has a powerful extra-large pet brush that successfully removes pet hair. It includes a crevice tool and has a power adapter with a separate docking station. The accessories can often make all the difference in the value of a vacuum. Each model comes with a few extra accessories, but all the tools we list are not compatible with all models. Decide which tools will work best in your situation and choose a Shark handheld vacuum that includes those.
The 2-in-1 Combi-crevice tool has a wide nozzle and a brush for quickly switching between cleaning and dusting tasks around your home or car. Advanced whole-machine filtration traps particles and expels cleaner air. Eliminate dirt that’s out of reach, but not out of sight. Extend your reach with our longest built-in crevice tool. The versatile BLACK+DECKER™ 20-volt MAX dustbuster® AdvancedClean+™ Cordless Pet Hand Vacuum cleans hard to reach areas with less effort.
