A crack in the hose can cause air loss, which reduces suction power.

The Shark Handvac is good for these areas of spot cleaning, but thick rugs and carpets will drain the battery life quicker.When it’s already short at 10 minutes, this is a downside.. It’s also a difficult vacuum to use in tight spaces.

The rigid design and lack of a hose makes it difficult to clean behind furniture, around PC monitors, and other small locations.But for general spot cleaning it’s hard to beat in this price range..The Shark CH950UKT has enough power to give your car a quick clean.

We found it great to use on car seats, where the motorised brush bar was able to remove both dirt and pet hair.It won’t remove stubborn dirt stuck to car mats, but we’re yet to test a handheld vacuum that can manage this job..

Unfortunately, its car cleaning performance is let down by the lack of a proper crevice tool.

The provided tool is too short to get between seats and other awkward locations – especially as the vacuum itself is quite large and rigid – making it difficult to give the car a full clean.This can make the vacuum appear like it doesn’t have any charge, when it’s actually the blockage causing the issue.. For this reason, it’s important to check your vacuum for a blockage before deciding that there’s an issue with the battery.

Take a look at the air inlet in the floorhead, the main wand, and the entrance to the dust canister, as these are common places for blockages.. You may also want to read our guide about.deep cleaning a Dyson cordless vacuum.
