Shark WandVac WV361UK

The Shark WandVac WV361UK is a handheld vacuum that is intended for quick cleaning only. It Is light and compact like most handheld vacuums, but what sets it apart from the others is its distinctive floor head.

Floor heads are usually only found in stick cordless vacuums, but the Shark WandVac WV361UK is one of the few exceptions. Its floor head is equipped with anti-hair wrap technology that removes strands of hair from the brush roll while it is cleaning. It doesn’t only clean the floor but also maintains the brush roll and prevents hair tangles for the most efficient cleaning. This feature is great for pet owners as well as those who don’t have enough time to regularly detangle the hairs from the brush roll.
Other than the floor head, the Shark WandVac WV361UK also comes with a crevice tool and multi-surface tool. The crevice tool is for cleaning in corner and hard-to-reach areas because it has a long and narrow nozzle. Meanwhile, the multi-surface tool is great for cleaning crumbs, pet hairs, and other types of dirt on soft surfaces such as the sofa, car seats, and bed.

You can store the cleaning attachments on the charging dock while the Shark WandVac WV361UK is charging. However, there is no room for the multi-surface tool as it can only hold the floor head and crevice tool. Instead of extra space for the multi-surface tool, it has another charging dock for the optional battery. Having the option to buy an extra battery is very convenient because the Shark WandVac WV361UK has a very short battery life, and the second battery will allow you to clean longer.
The Shark WandVac WV361UK lasts for only 16 minutes on normal suction mode and less than 10 minutes on the boost suction setting. As mentioned before, handheld vacuums are only meant to be used for quick or spot cleaning, which is why they have short battery life. For that same reason, the Shark WandVac WV361UK, like other handheld vacuums, has a small dust bin capacity of 0.25 L.

Another downside of this device is that it is quite noisy, which might irritate those who are sensitive to loud noises.

Overall, the Shark WandVac WV361UK is a unique handheld vacuum that can clean not just the furniture but also the floor. The floor head and the anti-wrap hair technology make it an absolutely worthwhile investment.
