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.

It was great for about a month
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum worked really great for about 3 uses and now that it’s too late to return, it stopped working properly. It constantly shuts off. I’ve emptied the contents and checked for blockages. Can’t figure it out.

Won’t hold a charge
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought a shark was the best so I bought this. While it works at first, it only holds a charge for a few seconds at a time before cutting out.

This thing is garbage!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So confused how this has any 5 star reviews. You might as well take your $120 and throw it in the trash. You would have less of a headache than purchasing this. I tried returning but wad denied because the item had been used one time. How are you to see if a vacuum works than to use it first? Anyways.. It is absolutely garbage. Don’t waste your time or money on it.

Powerful and Sleek
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This nice little vacuum packs a punch! It is the most powerful handheld cordless vacuum I have used. The slender design makes it fit into small spaces while in use or when charging. I really like the fact that the accessories fit nicely on the charging cradle and do not take up any extra space. Emptying the contents is clean and effortless. Just hold over a garbage can, press the release, and the bin pops open to dump the contents. They even put a small brush on the edge to automatically wipe the filter / guard off as the door opens. I did not have to shake it or get my hands dirty like I seem to be forced to do with any other handheld cordless vac. Another feature I love is that the exhaust blows in a way that does not seem to stir up the dirt I am trying to clean. The accessories work well and the vacuum fits nicely in the charger. I was a little concerned that the collection bin or cup was really small. But it worked fine with no loss of suction even as it was filling up. I did not have to empty it until I was done. The last thing I would like to point out is that this would probably work well for someone who has arthritis. The buttons are large and easy to press. The power button is extremely light and does not have to be held. Overall, I am really happy.

Impossible to return
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dock snaps together and seems pretty much impossible to separate. So you can't fit it back in the box to return it. Highly misleading since the product is advertised as allowing returns. Completely unethical in my opinion to make the product basically impossible to return and to advertise it as returnable.

The hand-held vacuum that I’ve always wanted!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Review for Shark - ION ION W1 Cordless Hand Vac - Graphite This unit is so well-designed! It’s light, balances nicely in your hand, is powerful, and works great! The handy release switch lets you empty the dirt cup over the trash with ease. The dirt cup pops out and can be cleaned under running water. The filter, which needs to be rinsed and dried when dirty, is reusable and easy to clean. I like how the unit sits in the charging dock, allowing you to place it anywhere, rather than hang it on a wall. It comes with two convenient attachments: a crevice tool with a flip-to-use brush for tiny spaces, and a multi-surface pet tool that is great for furniture. It’s perfect for that those spilled-coffee-grounds, dog-hair, dragged-in dirt kind of moments! It can run continuously for about 10 minutes and needs 2.5 hours to recharge. The blue LED indicator let’s you know when it needs charging, is charging, or is finished charging.
