Vacuum It has an on and off button, and another that allows you to activate maximum power mode, which must be held down (the Boost indicator will light white).

As we usually remember when we talk about corded vacuum cleaners, The actual autonomy of the Shark WandVac 2 in 1 depends on how it is used: the type of accessory used (motorized ones consume more), the type of floor (it lasts less on carpets) and the power applied.
How the Shark WandVac 2 in 1 works
The Shark WandVac 2 in 1 is a ultralight cordless vacuum cleaner, which allows you to carry out a wide variety of cleaning tasks with great comfort and speed.
In this case, the concept of the device is different from other stick vacuum cleaners; Shark has started from a handheld vacuum cleaner, to which an extension tube and a head are added to form a stick vacuum cleaner..
In this way you get a very light and handy device, especially as a handheld vacuum cleaner, although the size of its tank is smaller than usual in brooms.
However, the high performance of the Anti Hair Wrap head allows you to obtain fantastic results when cleaning floors.
Detail of the Anti Hair Wrap head
effective cleaning
This vacuum cleaner offers remarkable suction power, allowing you Effectively capture dust, dust, hair, crumbs, grains, sand and other particles, both on hard floors and on rugs, carpets and other surfaces.
The vacuum cleaner has two power levels; The normal mode is sufficient in many situations, offering greater autonomy and quieter operation, while if we need more power, we can use the Boost mode, in which it reaches 70 aW.
The Shark WandVac 2-in-1's cyclonic technology separates solid particles from the airstream, doing some of the work of filtering and maintaining suction capacity as the tank fills.
To achieve effective cleaning, the Shark WandVac 2 in 1 also has its Anti Hair Wrap head, an exclusive design of the brand, which allows you to achieve a High performance on both hard floors and carpets, and is especially interesting for homes with pets and/or a lot of hair.
The Anti Hair Wrap brush combines rubber and bristles, and Its studied design prevents tangles, so its maintenance is much more convenient than that of other wireless vacuum cleaners, in addition to achieving greater efficiency (since the entry of dirt is not blocked).
Traditional Brush vs Anti Hair Wrap
Deposit and filtering
The tank of this vacuum cleaner is not excessively large. As we explained previously, Its concept is inspired by a handheld vacuum cleaner to achieve great lightness and extreme manageability, but this means that its tank is 120 milliliters., so depending on the work being done, it may require emptying it more times (although, emptying is simple).
The filtration system does a good job of capturing the micro particles of dust and mites inside, preventing secondary pollution, and Both the tank and the filter are washable with water; Afterwards, they will have to be left to air dry, at least for 24 hours, and put back on when they are completely dry.
Ergonomics and ease of use
The most outstanding aspect of this machine – in addition to its notable efficiency – is its ease of use.. Its design makes it very light and manageable, making the task of cleaning simple and quick.
The weight less than 1 kilogram as a handheld vacuum cleaner (a figure similar to that of the Dyson Micro), the Shark WandVac 2 in 1 is very easy to handle; If we want to vacuum up crumbs, cat litter, raised areas or the interior of the vehicle, we can do it effectively and without fatigue.
As a broom vacuum cleaner, it weighs up to 2,6 kilograms by including the Anti Hair Wrap head, a very low weight and lower than other models (The Dyson V15 Detect, for example, is around 3 kilograms, and the Shark Anti Hair Wrap Flexology the 4). In addition, the wheels on the back of the head make it easy to move when cleaning floors.
The head offers a good flexibility both horizontally and vertically, facilitating cleaning under furniture and beds, or in complex areas, such as the area between table legs.
Accessories
