Terrible battery life
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to try it out and immediately put it to charge once i opened it. Charged to full in three hours but the moment i turned it on i used it for a total of 10 minutes before it just shut off and died. Definitely not worth the price. I do NOT recommend. Returned it.

Bad Vacuum in General Terrible Performance
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.worst vacuum I've ever had. it didn't come damaged i don't think just the sucking power and life is pretty bad. life of this thing is less than hour and sucking power barely sucks at all. Also, the charging station it gives you is very inconvenient. wayyy too big, a simple port would be better. Get a Fanttik car vacuum, way better and cheaper with more performance ESPECIALLY

Don't waste your time on WV201 WANDVAC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Considering the price, I expected some big things out of this handheld vac. Fully charged up, lasted about 10 sec. Did I suck up something? No, its brand spanking new. I gave it some time, maybe bad charge? But no. 10sec, and its done. I'm within my window, it goes back.

Not satisfied, very disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried to use it one time and before I was even halfway through the front of my car the battery died and it hadn’t been plugged in for a couple days and I have a small car. I have a Mitsubishi outlander sport, and I only got to clean the front and it’s a brand new car so it wasn’t even that dirty

Doesn’t last, Junk
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Junk. I bought this under a year ago, the battery wouldn’t hold charge after 8-9 months. Called customer service, they sent a battery replacement as a courtesy. Worked fine for about 3-4 months and now it won’t hold charge again, exact same problem as previous. I use this product about every other day for under a few min avg. always plugged into wall to charge. Don’t waste your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Don't buy if you are dealing with sand.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We live by a beach. We need to vacuum up sand often. This didn't suck up the sand. Very disappointing. Wouldn't recommend for beach goers.

Worked for about 3 months
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a Christmas gift and so it wasn’t used until January… By April it started to die after about 10 seconds or less of running. You can hit the power button and get it to going again but then it will die again in 5-10 seconds. The unit is fully charged but for whatever reason will not continue running continuously anymore. When it worked originally it was great…obviously now wouldn’t recommend this vacuum!

Terrible battery life!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I followed the instructions and fully charged the battery before the first use. It ran for about 30 seconds - the handle (battery area) became Very Hot and the vacuum shut down. After multiple charge/discharge cycles, it will now run for about 90 seconds before overheating and shutting down. I'm doing Very Light DUSTING with it! Nothing heavy duty at all. Dusting! Tomorrow, I hope to be able to finish dusting the bedroom ceiling fan...

Poor choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why too small dust collector, the filter clogs instantly and the battery wont hold a charge. It's faster to get a dustpan and brush. I love my stand up Shark 5 years later still works great. I thought i would give this a try. I find myself getting out the full size vacuum before using this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Do not buy!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Based on the details thought this would be great. However it stopped working within a couple of months of purchase.

Awful Battery Power
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The strength of the suction and the longevity of battery diminishes after about a few months. Leaving the vacuum more or less useless. Don’t waste your money on what will soon be a paperweight.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Not a good buy for the buck$
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product has great suction but the battery life isn’t so great. Not able to get the job done have to keep stopping to charge.

Worthless
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only good for 10 minutes of use, then shuts down and needs to be charged again. Also not comfortable to use. I threw it in the garbage. $100+ down the drain.
