There is a Shark near by that I use.
I think it’s a cyclone or something…I’m not sure they even have this model anymore.
Ah good, that's a decent one too! And I don't say that often about a shark product haha
I got a Hoto vacuum but it developed a problem where the vacuum cup attachment would not twist on and stay on the body. However their customer service (after I sent them a video of the problem) is good and they sent me a brand new full unit even though they could have just sent me the attachment. I also bought a Shark handvac in the mean time and that works very well too.
I don't think they are a known vacuum brand. They make a variety of tools. I have their screwdriver too. [https://hototools.com](https://hototools.com) This is what I have. [https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule](https://hototools.com/products/compressed-air-capsule) The hoto is compact so I was keeping it with my coffee gear. I bought the Shark Wandvac as soon as the Hoto broke and while I was interacting with Hoto's customer service. The Shark works fine and has a bigger chamber. The draw back of the Shark is I can't just leave it with my coffee stuff in the kitchen and it uses a special cradle to charge. The Hoto charges over USB-C. The Hoto also works as a blower so you can attach a bunch of nozzles it comes with on the opposite end to blow out stuff or inflate flotation devices etc. Suction wise both are the same. I haven't even opened the new Hoto package and it has been a few months.
We had the Dyson Ball vacuum (corded) and absolutely hated it. It worked terrible, was heavy and just wasn't good. We did regular maintenance on it too. It just was crap. Since then, we've replaced it with shark vacs. We keep one on each floor of the house so we don't have to continually carry them up and down stairs. They work great. I also recently got a handheld cordless shark vac and it is AWESOME. We have some awkward spaces in our home that a vacuum never really fit in so the cordless hand vac does the job. With 4 cat, I vacuum regularly. I use a Fuller hoky (manual sweeper) daily and it works great too!
Shark handheld. £60. Very happy with it for small kitchen cleans.
Shark! There’s a small rechargeable, handheld one that is amazing! It’s about the size of your forearm (well, mine, I’m a girl). It’s truly great. Just remember to clean the filter. :)
Check out thrift stores. I found Shark rechargeable hand held for $5 that works great.
Cordless is great if you can get a good battery. The shark pet hand vacuum at Target- $100. Worked great for us in our 900sqft townhouse with two cats. You can wash the filter and reuse it, no need for replacement pieces. I killed it when I ran it after cleaning it and forgetting to pull the filter out to dry, so don’t forget about it! Another option to keep an eye on- Dyson refurbished models. We got the V8 with a ton of accessories for $179. It’s been amazing, though we are in a larger home with a 1 year old so we knew we needed more help.
