Shark Wandvac

The sleek ultra-portable pick — a pencil-thin, very light cordless handheld with surprisingly strong suction, a hygienic push-eject self-cleaning bin, and a charging dock for grab-and-go use. Small bin and modest runtime, but a slicker, more powerful step up from a basic Dustbuster.

The Shark WandVac is the sleek, ultra-portable cordless pick balancing genuinely useful suction with a remarkably slim, light, easy-to-handle design. It's a pencil-thin cordless handheld with surprisingly strong suction for its tiny size, a self-cleaning bin that ejects dirt with a push (no touching the mess), and a charging dock, designed to be grabbed and used one-handed for fast cleanups on counters, in cars, on furniture, and stairs. Shark is a well-regarded vacuum brand, and the WandVac's slim ergonomics, decent power, and hygienic emptying make it a popular premium-feeling handheld. It's the choice for a more powerful and far slicker handheld than a basic Dustbuster, in an exceptionally light, storable form, at a mid-range price. The small dust bin (frequent emptying for big jobs) and modest runtime are the trade-offs, but for slim, convenient, decent-power cleanups, it's a standout.
