I'm looking for a vac for my car too, but just need something to pick up the pine needles, tiny pebbles and dust that all cars pick up and honestly don't need more than 2 minutes here and there. If you want longer running times, you're going to have to get something way bigger and more expensive, something like a Dyson V8 Trigger.

The charge up is 😞 10mins Nobody can vacuum their car in 10 minutes….returning it immediately 😂

Yep, I just got mine at Costco, two storage places and three attachments!

Yup, and it still going strong. I have a follow up video 15 months later, still sucks.

That’s so funny that’s exactly what I’ll be using it for as well, those messy bunnies 😂

Yes you need to fully charge it before first use :)

@@striker1211 thank you!

You must charge it via the cradle there isn't a plug hole on it. As for the height, I have it packed away right now so I cannot say. It doesn't add more than a half inch to the vacuums length though I'd say because it sits on the cradle at an angle.

There's a version for pet hair: Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro - CH950

Yes, it is a charging dock. I leave mine on the charger all the time. The manual does say not to put the wandvac on the dock while it is powered on/vacuuming.

Does it do it with the filter entirely removed? If it does you may have a defective battery. I'd give Shark a call if it's under warranty. If not, I'd exchange it at Costco for a new one.

Yes you can wash it, I've washed it out a dozen times now. It's still kinda dirty after washing though. Aftermarket filters are only $4 a piece thankfully.

I have not had an issue with battery life, but I do clean the filter regularly.

You could try reseating the battery, there is a groove at the tip of the handle where you can insert a flathead and twist and the battery will pop out. Search for wandvac battery replacement on KZfaq for a video of someone popping it out. After that I would check that the AC adapter plug is firmly inserted into the dock. If none of that works I would be returning it to Costco or calling Shark for warranty service since 6 months is a very short life for any vacuum. Good luck.

Did you verify your filter is not clogged? Does it sound like it is a lot faster if you turn it on without the filter?

@@striker1211 Thank you for the reply. It’s not the filter. Is it ok the leave the vacuum on the charger all the time or should I just charge when needed?

​@@striker1211 Run time will naturally be shorter under load, sucking things up versus just sitting there "ON"

It actually works great for a quick cleanup of dried mud in the car so I don't have to haul out the wet dry vac. Just did that the other day. We keep it in the house though. They'd probably make a lot of money selling a car charger mount.

I purchased mine for the car, but am using it all the time for everything. I am happy with this product.

​@@brendacroussore7190do you feel it dies too quickly?

That's fair. But now it has been five months and I have sucked up mashed potatoes, yogurt, drywall dust, and construction debris (kitchen remodel) and only needed to blow out the filter. If it does stop working I will be sure to update the title and description.

That is a great question and I am shocked at myself that I did not provide that data in the video. I looked it up and it says it takes about 3 hours to charge and that is right in line with what I remember. I can say that with human hair you would have a possibility of getting the long strands stuck in the gate that keeps the debris from falling back out when the wind is upright but I would definitely buy it and give it a shot. Costco is really nice because you can just return it if it doesn't work out for you but this vacuum is pretty handy.

He literally tests it in the video: 10 minutes.

Would be better if I could get the filter out to clean. I tried pushing where it said will not move!!!!!!!

​@@jacquelinelester7074did you even watch this video? 🤪

1 year 2 months later, still works fine, and I don't treat it nice.

It’s a vacuum it’s supposed to charge

I have the same problem I can't figure out. When fully charged it runs for a few seconds and quits. That sucks since this vacuum is very useful!

I finished watching the video. I did not know there was a filter to be cleaned. I cleaned the filter and now it works like new! My Costco does not sell these anymore, but if they did, I would say get it! This has been very useful in multiple ways, even with the short run time.
