I just got a DeWalt to replace my Shark wandvac (I think that’s what it was called), as the battery was dying. To soon to say anything about durability, but this DeWalt has some suction. It’s no 110v Miele but for what it is, I’m impressed!
There are some good bagged vacuums that take up a relatively small amount of space. I now have the Miele C1 Turbo but prior to that I had a bagged upright and I could squash it into my coat closet for storage. I do understand not wanting to deal with a full size vacuum cleaner as I am reluctant to haul out my Miele if I spill a bit on the floor. I have been eyeing this as I read a recommendation in terms of how good it was for using when you have those odd things and just need to vacuum stuff up. It isn't the least expensive option for a handheld but it seems perfect for my needs and might also work well for you # Shark WANDVAC Cordless Hand Vac, [https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Lightweight-Versatile-One-Touch-WV201WH/dp/B0F45ML5MV/ref=pd\_ybh\_a\_d\_sccl\_51/139-3852019-7956315?pd\_rd\_w=cOTFi&content-id=amzn1.sym.67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf\_rd\_p=67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf\_rd\_r=Q602QSBZ7XJF6G37JQ65&pd\_rd\_wg=H8c0y&pd\_rd\_r=8ea601d3-7257-47cc-8db0-652df9c39e1d&pd\_rd\_i=B0F45ML5MV&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Lightweight-Versatile-One-Touch-WV201WH/dp/B0F45ML5MV/ref=pd_ybh_a_d_sccl_51/139-3852019-7956315?pd_rd_w=cOTFi&content-id=amzn1.sym.67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_p=67f8cf21-ade4-4299-b433-69e404eeecf1&pf_rd_r=Q602QSBZ7XJF6G37JQ65&pd_rd_wg=H8c0y&pd_rd_r=8ea601d3-7257-47cc-8db0-652df9c39e1d&pd_rd_i=B0F45ML5MV&th=1)
agree on this configuration but I'll avoid Dyson because it's so expensive. It'll go for Miele C1, having the vacuum bags is what keeps the dust in and helps with allergies. Then for handheld, I'll opportunistically find either shark's wandvac (I am using this and it serving me very well) or something small and light for day to day cleaning.
Upstairs I have a Dyson. Downstairs we use a Shark wandvac
I have a Shark Wandvac that I keep in the bathroom with the litterbox, and it has been perfect (I have the WV201 model) for keeping the litter under control. I use tofu litter, but the little wandvac has also been pretty good at getting up other things as well (like exploded flour on a kitchen counter). It doesn't have a huge dustbin, but I don't need it to, and it is very easy to empty and place back on its charging dock.
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. :)
I’ve had a great experience with Shark! Our first upright lasted 12ish years. We replaced it with a new upright and now have one of their robot ones and a cordless hand vacuum. I’m pleased with all of them.
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.
