Q: QuestionHow long is the battery duration?

Asked 5 years ago by Ree.

• A:Answer The vac includes a 2000ma battery. The motor is rated for 8amps draw (87w), which if you plug in those numbers to: https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-battery-life, you get 15m. Of course if you use the pet powered brush, it consumes ‘12w’ as rated by its sticker. That’s 1.1a additional, bringing our calculated runtime down to 13m. Empirically - that bears out - as I’ve gotten about 15m of runtime before it shuts down without the pet brush. I haven’t used the pet brush longer than 10m, but I’d assume it’d be pushing near the bottom fifth of the battery. It’s just cool to see the math, and designed capacities bear out in real life. As with any lithium battery, it will lose capacity over time, but hopefully it’ll last much better than the old NiCad batteries of yesteryear. Hopefully this helps!

Q: QuestionCan you leave this plugged in all the time so it is always ready to use.

Asked 5 years ago by Rita.

• A:Answer I leave mine on the charger when not in use and have had no problems. BTW, this is the third hand vac I've bought of this type (two of them as gifts to other pet owners) and I can say unequivocally that it is the best I've found for the price.

Q: QuestionIs this vacuum powerful enough to thoroughly clean the carpet and interior of a car or truck?

Asked 5 years ago by Jmart.

• A:Answer It does a good job for what it is. Does not take the place of the high powered vacs at the car wash. I use the pet hair attachment on the carpet Use the crevice tool where needed and no attachment on the seats. Does a good job. This is a well designed vac and is easy to clean out. Have used it to get up sawdust and flour and sugar that was spilled.

Q: Questionwould this have the suction power to work well on a computer keyboard? some vacuums don't have the power to get deep into the keyboard. Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by Michael.

• A:Answer Dust on keyboards is tricky. Suction - this would do fine. But channeling that suction and getting the appropriate ‘scrubbing’ bristles to get it moving is the challenge. The scrubbing attachment found here is pretty short - so if we’re talking about a laptop keyboard, maybe. Otherwise I’d recommend looking at something with the appropriate nozzle sizes. There are a lot of cheap options on amazon, but also Shark has sold attachment sets for its other standard upright vacuums in the past with hoses, and detail nozzles/brushes. Unfortunately those won’t work with this nozzle design, but if you have another shark vacuum search for “Shark Micro vacuum accessory kit” and you should be able to find a kit that will give you a small hose and detail brushes.

Q: QuestionDoes Shark sell a handheld vac that has a hose attachment? It just seems that without a hose attachment you're pretty limited in reaching certain places...

Asked 4 years ago by SharkFan.

• A:Answer I don't know but I love this Shark Hand Vac with attachments. To be honest, I never thought about this vacuum having a hose attachment. Seems perfect without one.
