Shark Wandvac Ultra-Lightweight Vacuum

I really wanted this to be amazing. I thought this would be a great thing to have in my condo so I could run it around quickly ever day just to keep things cleaner. It’s a very pretty vacuum, lightweight, and it all fits together well, but that’s where the positives ends.Now I do have a chinchilla, so things in my home have a fine layer of bath dust most of the time, but that can easily be sucked up- my old handheld Buster of Dust used to do it just fine.If you have anything more than just the minimum of dust on your floor, it’s going to clog. Every minute or two it would clog, and I would have to stop it and jab a chopstick into the tiny clump of dust that was stuck in a tube to dislodge it. It clogged 4 times in the 12 minutes I got to use it- then the battery died. I charged it for 3 days after that, and the next time it ran for 14 minutes before the battery died, and clogged 8 times in that 14 minutes. The suction seems good-until it clogged and started spitting out stuff back onto my floor, but unless you have a spotless floor, every hair and bit of random stuff on the floor will clog it. The floorhead got hair and dust wrapped around it in the short time I got to use it, and clumps of dust clogged around the brush wheel (even though it’s supposed to be self cleaning), so I had to unclog that after every use too; even the tiny wheels on the floorhead got hairs tangled in them and had to be cleaned with tweezers. It took 40 minutes to clean a vacuum that I got to use for less than 15 minutes each time. I’ve tried to use this vacuum 4 times- on tile, hardwood, and twice on carpet, and it doesn’t work well on any of them. The little reservoir that holds the dirt is frustrating as well; when you press the button to empty the vacuum, the little door shoots open and launches anything that is inside it all over the place. You have to put the entire handheld section into your trash can and open it to avoid having to vacuum around the trash can after you’re done emptying it. If you have a totally clean house because your weekly housekeeper just came two days ago, and you just want to run it around the floor to keep things looking spotless, or if you spilled some flour in the kitchen, it might work great. if you have a normal house that has dust and dirt, you are probably going to have the same problems I did. I really wanted it to be a useful thing that would help me keep my house cleaner, but it was just a disappointment all around, and an expensive disappointment at that.
