Best handheld vac!
This little handheld vac is easily the best I've ever owned. The vacuum and base are very compact and fit under my cabinets on the kitchen counter. It has lots of suction power and the dust cup is sized just right for small messes. The attachments make it very convenient to clean countertops, windowsills, etc. It operates quietly and is very lightweight. I love this and I'm actually buying another to keep upstairs.

Hard to handle battery did not last
I received the Shark Ion Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum to be reviewed, i had so many expectations for this one. First, I loved the design, it is compact, looks awesome, is it light with only 1.4 pounds of weight, and the best part it is cordless! i charged this for a couple of hours, and i went to clean my car, i have to say it disappointed me. it seemed to be doing a good job when i started, it seems to have good suction power, after a few minutes i discover that the handle is not that great, even though it is lightweighted it kept slipping from my hand because the handle it is too smoot, they should put probably rubber around it or better design at the end to stop from slipping, this made everything so tiring and doubled the time, please try to fix this. the other thing I didn't like is that after 10-15 minutes the battery was dead, the handle got really hot because of the battery, this is something not acceptable either. so I was not able to finish cleaning my car, only half of it. i was really disappointed. after i went online and saw the price for this handheld vacuum I was EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED, i believed there should be people behind the design of these, they didn't try it for real and saw that after a few minutes the handle was not good to be using it for long? about the battery charge I was thinking that probably got a defective one because if you are paying for this, 10-15 minutes is not enough for that price. The compartment to empty the trahs was easy but too small. Got filled really fast. Bottom line, i would NOT recommend this product. even if the battery on mine is defective, i would because of the handle, this is supposed to make our work easier and faster, not harder. *Disclosure Statement: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my honest experience.

    Worth the money
    I like how this gets into small spaces to clean. I used it to clean my utensil drawer with separate compartments. Emptying it couldn't be easier.

    Absolutely love it
    I love this vacuum! I got in on the $88 sale when I was just about to buy it at Best Buy for $119. Still ended up spending close to the same since I'm paranoid and added a protection plan. So far so good! It has a charging station which is compact and doesn't get in the way. The suction is powerful and cleaned my couch spotless. I can't wait to use it in my car. It's not obnoxiously loud either. I used it while my husband was on the phone for work and he said he barely heard it. I love this thing!

    The Best Adulting Tool Ever
    Yes! Just buy it! My mom had one, and I knew instantly I needed one. I have a 10-month-old who is constantly making messes, plus a dog and a cat. This is so easy to whip up and vacuum up crumbs, animal fur, debris tracked in from our shoes, the floorboards in the car, etc. It literally makes vacuuming fun. I love the size, it has great suction power, and it has a good battery life, because I don't always remember to put it back on its base. And it is so easy to just press the button while holding it over trash can, the filter pops open, and all the vacuumed bits just fall right into the trash. This thing is amazing!

    Does what it's advertised
    I wasn't expecting much when I bought it because it was so small. Boy, was I wrong! It's small but it's powerful. I used it on our couch, my car, and the living room table. It picked up the smallest crumbs, cat hair, dog hair, and even dust. I was surprised because I didn't expect the suction power to be so strong. It's definitely on the pricier end, but I got it during the rollback sale for $88. So, it's not that bad.. I was worried I might've wasted my money, but this small, light weight vacuum was worth every penny! The product comes with a charging station and two interchangeable heads.

    Has great suction
    The 10N W1 Shark cord free hand held WV200 is great looking and slender. It is light and dark grey with a see through dirt cup. When opening the dirt cup you should hold the shark with the start and dirt cup release buttons faceing down. Otherwise everything goes flying. The Shark comes with a charging stand that needs plugged in at all times. The Shark needs to be in the charger when not in use. The Shark has very strong suction. The filters should be cleaned after every use.

    Very convenient handheld vaccum
    I was looking forward to receiving this lovely small SharkION Cord-Free Power Handheld Vaccum. I was looking for something I could use inside my car, without bringing my large home vaccum outside. This would usually involve a long extension cord too. This SharkION is such a little lifesaver for me! I was surprised at the powerful suction from this vaccum. It doesn't make a lot of noise, and it is easy to handle. This vaccum has a very good filter, and also has a Pet Tool and Crevice Tool attachment too. They can easily be changed out when needed. As a reviewer for Walmart Spark Reviewer, I am still impressed by this handheld vaccum!

    Powerful, Cleans Tight Spaces, Ergonomic
    This Shark ION W1 Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum WV 200 has amazingly powerful suction; I was genuinely surprised! An example of the suction power is that it, using its crevice tool, sucks the dust right off the top of my baseboards! Have always had to remove this dust by hand. My previous experience had been some time ago with a classic dustbuster. The Shark is nothing like that. It is very light and extremely maneuverable, getting into tight spots with ease, such as in my car. I also used it to vacuum built up dust behind and under items such as a heavy bench in my laundry room that I never want to move! It is light and very ergonomic in my hand, which is important to me as I have had arthritis in both hands for many years. It also has a very high “coolness” rating for its appearance: sleek, modern, thin with a small footprint. The charging station, with vacuum in it, fits under the overhead cabinets in my laundry room. (My cabinets are 17 1/4” above the counter). I use it every day, for quick touch-ups in the kitchen, bathroom, car, etc. I really love it and can't think of one thing I would change!

    What a snazzy and hardworking little machine!
    This is one powerful little tool. The Shark ION W1 Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum WV200 is small and takes up very little space, but oh it is powerful. I had my doubts when I unpacked the Shark ION W1 Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum, it's that lightweight and small. I didn't think that this could have much suction but I was very surprised at how wrong I was in my initial assumption. It's very easy to put together right out of the box. Comes with two attachments, a wide nose multi-surface pet tool and a crevice tool. I plugged it in and charged it overnight. Next morning I was ready to give this a good try out. I have a regular large vacuum and a non electronic for quick pickups, but needed a handheld for the kitchen and bath and any smaller quick pickup needs. This unit fits my needs perfectly. I wanted this for use in my kitchen and the hall, so I tried it in the kitchen first. I seem to for ever drop crumbs, flour and cuttings under the cabinets feet and am forever pulling out the broom. I hoped having this plugged in in the kitchen I need no longer bend on hands and knees to clean up after cooking and baking. Well I tested it after I finished making bread, sucking up flour and crumbs. It did a fantastic job. Although the dirt cup is small it was big enough to handle plenty. I don't know if it will have a problem with damp crumbs, so I tried that too hoping I didn't condemn this vacuum by breaking it. It's not something I would recommend though, it worked on moist crumbs but left a mess on the screen and the brush. The filter isn't a problem since I was able to wash it under the faucet, but the dust cup I had to wipe dry and clean with paper towels. Not worth the troubles. Worked perfect in my half bath and the hall, did suck up the flour I spilled on the counter too. Did a good job on my door mat as well. I don't have a pet right now so I can't tell you how it handles pet hair. Based on how it handles yarn and threads I say you have to move a bit slower to give these larger items a chance to be pulled into the dust cup and not get hung up on the brush. I had to run over the little yarn pieces a couple of times, maybe because it was wool, but it did suck em up. My regular vacuum always resists these too, or they wrap around the brushes, which is frustrating. This vacuum didn't fight me near as much, I think it should handle pet hair just fine. Since I am using it every day it's just right as long as I empty it after use which is a piece of cake, push a button and it's dumped out. A regular quick cleaning of the varied filtering protections is a good idea. With the push of a button it emptied the cup and I didn't have to touch anything. There is a filter screen protector, and some bristles, both helping protect the motor. These are easily cleaned just wipe the screen, but you have to pick or brush the brushes. I wish they provided a tool for these, because they need to be clean or it will hamper further suction, especially the brushes. There is also a filter cup, easily removed, tapping it will remove larger dust particles and it can then be washed by hand. Regular cleaning the different parts which protect the machine should keep this little powerhouse running for a long time. The accompanying instructions are well put together with pictures showing you all the parts of the vacuum, how to use and how to keep it clean and working. It also has a section covering possible problems and solutions for these. The Shark ION W1 Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum WV200 is covered by a 2 year warranty, which I find great. Don't forget to fill in the product information on this instruction sheet so you have them at hand if service is needed. I have to tell you I am amazed at the powerful suction this little handheld has. It actually sucked up deep seated dust off vacuumed regular carpeting! Dust my larger vacuum left behind! Surprised me! Picking up threads and larger items works okay as long as I run it over those more slowly and the cup and brush and filters needs cleaning or at least checking when sucking up a lot of dust. It handles crumbs on sofas and recliners, getting into the crevices real well. It's shape helps this. So, the suction is great but I still needed to know how much this little vacuum could handle without emptying and before it needs cleaning. The cup holds a lot of crumbs and dust, but can clog up the filter which sits over the cup. So regularly checking and quick cleaning this and the brush is important and nothing major, just takes a second. I be using this primarily in my kitchen and run it along baseboards in the hall. It's great for this, a quick pickup of fluff and dust motes visible on my dark hall floor. I even used it to suck up a fly and then tried it on a wayward spider which I released outside. It worked! Nice tool! Love this handy vacuum, being lightweight, small, a good quality, charged and handy for use anytime.

    Great gift, household tool and/or vehicle vacuum
    Receiving this Shark ION W1 Cord-free handheld vacuum WV200 was the highpoint of my day. It is so lightweight and the suction is more than anticipated. I have an old machine, which is a different brand, that has been in the household for over ten years. The battery pack must be removed and placed in a charger as well as the vacuum being larger and heavier. The Shark is so lightweight and has two separate attachments which easily slip into place which make it so versatile. The quick and easy pivoting of the dirt container is a snap to use and the ergonomic design is pleasant. I planned on using the old, larger one for small jobs in the house and the new Shark in the garage for cleaning the vehicle interior. A clean vehicle is as pleasing as a clean house to me. This unit, with its attachments, can get in the seat crevices and flooring as well as the wide areas. The big garage shop vac is a chore to use since it is so heavy and hard to manipulate. The charger that the Shark sits in for storage is the nicest one imaginable. It is streamlined, lightweight, has a small footprint and firmly grips the vacuum with magnets while it charges it. I just cannot imagine ever using any other vacuum for vehicles and will probably grab it for use on the garage end of the house too.

    Great Little Hand Vac
    My old wall-charging hand vacuum cleaner finally bit the dust, so we decided to try the Shark Ion W1 cord-free handheld vacuum. It is small, stylish, and seems to charge quickly. It comes with an upholstery attachment and a crevice tool. Charging is very simple. You can keep the charger plugged in on an out-of-the-way surface and simply pop the vacuum back into the base after you use it. The suction is very strong, and the mouth of the vacuum is large enough to pick up all kinds of dry spills. I first used it to clean up baking soda that I had spilled, and it worked great. The only issue that I found is that powdery substances, such as dust and baking soda, fit right into the filter cover openings, blocking the airflow off relatively quickly. This is remedied by cleaning the filter after a few minutes if you are cleaning up a great deal of powdery material. You can also shake and tap the dust/powder off of the filter basket to clear it temporarily. The filter and filter cover/basket are so easy to clean with an old toothbrush that I plan to do so after every use. Another cool feature: you can empty the canister very quickly and easily at the touch of a button. The canister flips down, allowing all of the dirt to fall directly into a trash can, and it easily snaps shut again. This handheld vacuum will be well-used in our home.

    Nice Little Vacuum
    The Shark ION cord free power handheld vacuum is really a powerful little vacuum. It has a docking cradle that keeps it charged at all times It has a multi-surface pet tool for your pets and a crevice tool that is great for furniture and drapes. The Shark ION is also great for cleaning vehicles I also use it in my shop It is very covenant. the dust cup does not hold as much as I'd like you do have to empty often depending on the material Although It's very easy to clean just push the dust cup button forward and empty the cup. it also has a filter that is removable for cleaning The Shark ION has a 10.8V Battery and 120 watts It's a nice little Vacuum I would recommend the Shark ION

    Excellent!
    This is an awesome hand vacuum. I grew up with the classic dust-buster and this is nothing like that. This is compact, looks sleek and nice so it can be left out while it charges, powerful suction and easy to clean up. I put it to the test by first cleaning out my car. Between the dog hair and the dirt and leaves left behind after the nursery, it worked like a champ. The tip is small enough to get into cup holders and door creases. Strong enough to pick up everything from dog hair to gravel. It charges quickly, in about 1/2 hour and stays charged long enough to get my whole car cleaned and then some. Using it regularly and often I recharge about 1 time per week. I have done the nooks and crannies around my baseboards, in the car, along moulding, window sills, and so much more. I tried it on my drapes to get the dust that accumulates at the top but it the suction was almost too much. I had to really hold the drapes and then rearrange them all afterwards. Not a bad thing to have happen. It is an awesome, compact hand vac. I would definitely recommend it.
