如果您住在没有空间存放全尺寸立式吸尘器的公寓，那么清洁这个地方可能会成为一个问题。特别是如果您是狗或猫的主人！
如果你的地方也有很多难以到达的角落，那也排除了大多数机器人吸尘器的可能性。如果这一切听起来很熟悉，请查看Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Emptying System)作为清洁工具。在本次吸尘器评测中，我们将介绍这款功能强大、重量轻的无绳吸尘器，并分享我们的测试结果，以便您可以决定这款吸尘器是否适合您的房屋清洁需求。
Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)：第一印象(First Impressions)和规格(Specs)
Shark是吸尘世界的一个大品牌。Shark吸尘器经常与市场上一些最受欢迎的吸尘器进行比较，例如戴森的吸尘器。
Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac)设计为一款轻型无绳棒式真空吸尘器，可自行清空。因此，如果您经常忘记清空真空吸尘器的垃圾箱（或者您可能像我一样，只是不喜欢这样做），那么 Shark自清空系统(Shark Self-Empty System)是您的完美选择。该系统免除了您的维护工作，并且您始终可以使用真空吸尘器来开始清洁您的房子。
这款吸尘器的另一个明显优点是它是无线的且超轻。我之前体验过几次手持式吸尘器，它们太重了，我无法一次性完成清洁工作。Shark Wandvac 系统(Shark Wandvac System)连同充电底座（清洁期间无需移动）重 13.85 磅（6.3 千克）。
吸尘器本身可以从直立式吸尘器转变为落地式吸尘器，再转变为仅重 2.1 磅（0.9 千克）的小型手持式吸尘器，您可以用它来快速清洁溢出物，无需任何努力。
在我们继续讨论Shark真空吸尘器的设计和性能之前，以下是这款无绳吸尘器的技术规格列表。

设计与开箱
Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac)未组装，所有部件都组装在一个盒子中。从包装盒中取出所有物品后，您可以使用快速入门指南将无绳吸尘器组装在一起，也可以在不使用任何说明的情况下进行安装。整个系统很直观。我在几分钟内
就把Shark Wandvac组装起来，没有看指南。(Shark Wandvac)
盒子里有什么东西
以下是您打开Shark Wandvac 自清空系统真空(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)吸尘器
包装时在包装盒中找到的所有物品：
- Shark Wandvac 自清空系统真空(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System Vacuum)
- 带HEPA过滤器和安静模式的
自清充电底座(Charging Base)
- 缝隙除尘器
- 宠物工具
- 快速入门指南和用户指南
从一开始，我建议做一件事来改善您的Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac)真空吸尘器的外观- 撕掉您在其上找到的所有标签。这些标签是一种深思熟虑的感觉。它们中的每一个都可以帮助您组装并了解真空吸尘器的工作原理，但它们会破坏设备的整体外观。我相信标签是在第一次使用之后（甚至之前）撕掉的。
Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac)感觉做工精良，并不脆弱。真空吸尘器的机身以及充电座均由坚固的硬塑料制成。所有部件都可以轻松连接在一起，并且在掉落时不会轻易损坏。真空吸尘器的较小部分 - 符合人体工程学的手持式真空吸尘器 - 感觉超轻且握持舒适。
充电底座不会占用太多空间，因此即使在小公寓里，您也能找到一个角落来塞进去。整个装置连同真空吸尘器也不会占用太多空间，因此您将其存放在狭窄的空间中不会有问题。另外，它看起来时尚而现代。如果有的话，它会补充你的公寓。
充电底座的背面配有一个配件存储空间，您可以在其中安装一个配件 - 缝隙除尘工具或多功能工具。
我发现令人沮丧的一件事是电源线，我发现它对于我的公寓来说太短了。您可能需要在插头附近找到一个充电站的位置，以便充电器能够轻松到达墙壁。或者，您必须像我一样使用延长线。
另一方面，如果您将扩展坞放置得离插座太近，并且不希望充电线可见，则可以将多余的电源线缠绕在扩展坞底座底部附近的电源线管理槽上。
在吸尘器手柄上电源按钮正下方，您会发现三个明亮的LED灯。这些指示灯指示真空吸尘器中剩余的电池电量。当吸尘器充满电时，三盏灯亮起，充电一半时两盏灯亮，剩余电量约 30% 时一盏灯亮。当指示灯开始闪烁时，您就会知道是时候暂停清洁并为Shark Wandvac手持式吸尘器充电了。
清洁性能
我发现Shark Wandvac 自排空(Shark Wandvac Self-Emptying)系统在家里非常有帮助。我们在硬地板上测试了真空吸尘器，它可以毫无问题地吸起大块碎片和细小灰尘。我们家里没有地毯，但我们在沙发上进行的测试证明，这种真空吸尘器可以处理不同类型的表面。
然而，在开始清洁之前，您需要组装Shark Wandvac 真空(Shark Wandvac)吸尘器并为其充电。
设置过程
从包装盒中取出无绳手持式真空吸尘器后，您需要先完成设置过程，然后才能开始清洁。幸运的是，组装Shark Wandvac并不复杂，只需要几分钟的时间。要组装真空吸尘器，请将吸尘器连接到主刷的喷嘴，然后将手持吸尘器连接到吸尘器。
当您将每个部件安装到位时，您会听到独特的咔哒声。要组装底座，请将充电柱滑入充电底座顶部的插槽中，直至其卡入到位。然后将真空吸尘器向下移动到底座上。当您听到集尘杯清空过程开始时（声音很大，所以您不会错过），您就知道它已正确连接。
确保(Make)在首次使用前为Shark Wandvac真空吸尘器充满电。这应该需要大约 3 个小时。
吸尘
由于包装中包含不同的配件，您可以通过多种不同的方式使用Shark Wandvac 系统(Shark Wandvac System)来清洁您的公寓。如果您更喜欢直立杆模式，则可以保持PowerFins地板喷嘴打开以进行更深层次的地板清洁。或者，您可以放弃吸尘器，并使用您选择的配件切换到手持吸尘器模式。
根据我们的经验，PowerFins喷嘴最适合一般地板清洁。吸力足够强大，可以吸走我们公寓里所有的脏东西。我们还在邻居家进行了测试，那里有严重的狗毛问题，真空吸尘器在那里也表现出色。自清洁刷卷一定非常有效，因为我们在测试过程中从未遇到过任何头发缠绕或陷阱。
这款缝隙除尘器非常适合清理公寓中任何狭小的空间。根据我的经验，我一直在看夹层天花板上的蜘蛛网，但永远无法到达。Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac) + 除尘器缝隙非常适合为我清理所有这些东西。
这款多功能工具专为宠物毛发和室内装潢而设计，在清洁您的汽车时也能发挥出色的作用。Shark Wandvac可能是用于汽车清洁的(Shark Wandvac)最佳无绳吸尘器(best cordless vacuums)之一，这要归功于其便携性和轻量化设计。将手持式真空吸尘器从吸管上拆下，然后将其带入车内，无需担心电源线妨碍。您可以使用这两个配件来清洁车辆沙龙和进入狭窄的角落。
除了汽车清洁之外，我发现这款手持吸尘器对家具、布满灰尘的窗台、书架和楼梯也非常有效。换句话说，标准棒式真空吸尘器难以到达的所有地方。
Shark Wandvac系统的手持部分有一个集尘杯，您可以手动清空集尘杯，或者将吸尘器放回充电座后让吸尘器自动清空。集尘杯容量较小，为0.12升。当您向前滑动释放按钮时，集尘杯将打开。
自清空过程
如果您不喜欢自己清空吸尘器的垃圾箱，Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)可以为您做到这一点。完成清洁后，将吸尘器放在充电座上，直至听到咔嗒声。
连接后，您会听到自动疏散过程开始的声音。自清空过程声音相当大（令人惊讶的是，没有Botslab S8 Plus上的自动清空那么大声），但只持续 10 秒。
如果您需要真空安静，您可以暂时禁用自动清空过程。为此，请按充电底座上的静音按钮。当您不想打扰家里的其他人或宠物时，安静模式非常适合。
自动清空功能的最大优点是，当您手动清空真空吸尘器的垃圾箱时，您可以忘记那些令人讨厌的尘埃云。Wandvac会(Wandvac)自动将细小灰尘、碎片和过敏原排入带有HEPA过滤的密封系统中。
运行时间短
当我第一次使用这款真空吸尘器时，我感觉它好得令人难以置信。然后我注意到，运行大约 12 分钟后，LED灯开始闪烁，提醒我需要给吸尘器充电。下次我使用 Wandvac 时，(Wandvac)我成功地用了整整 15 分钟，但这已经是最长的时间了。
公平地说，我只有两个小房间，而且在电池耗尽之前我就已经打扫完了。但如果你拥有一个更大的房子，这个真空吸尘器就不足以进行任何重要的清洁工作。Shark Wandvac(Shark Wandvac)非常适合快速清理，但不适合对整个地方进行从上到下的深度清洁。
电池寿命
Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)预装了锂离子电池。您需要大约 3.5 小时才能将真空吸尘器从零充满。
Shark声称该装置充满电后可运行 17 分钟，但请记住，只有使用手持式真空吸尘器才能达到这些结果。当您连接魔杖和地板吸嘴时，时间会减少几分钟，使本来就很短的电池寿命变得更短。
与所有锂离子产品一样，电池的容量会随着时间的推移而自然减少。然而，Wandvac系统享有 5 年长期有限保修、2 年电池保修和 60 天退款保证。如果电池在保修期内出现故障，您可以要求免费更换。
您应该购买Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)吗？
Shark Wandvac 自清空系统(Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System)是一款完美的真空吸尘器，适合居住在中小型公寓、不喜欢手动清空真空吸尘器垃圾箱并需要能够处理不同表面的多功能清洁工具的人。
再加上轻便和便携的因素，您就会明确肯定是否应该购买这款真空吸尘器来满足您的房屋清洁需求。这种清洁野兽唯一真正的缺点是运行时间短，所以我不建议将其作为大房子的主要吸尘器。
如果您正在寻找全自动清洁选项，请考虑购买机器人真空吸尘器(robot vacuum)，它可以为您完成所有房屋清洁工作。
Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System Vacuum Review
If you live in an apartmеnt where you don’t have room to ѕtore a full-sized upright vacuυm, cleaning the place may become an issuе. Eѕpecially if you’re a dog or cat оwner!
If your place also has a lot of hard-to-reach corners, that also rules out most of the robot vacuums. If all this sounds familiar, check out the Shark Wandvac Self-Emptying System as a cleaning tool. In this vacuum review, we’ll look at this powerful, lightweight cordless vacuum and share the results of our tests so that you can decide if this vacuum suits your house cleaning needs.
Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System: First Impressions & Specs
Shark is a big brand name in the vacuuming world. Shark vacuum cleaners are often compared to some of the most popular vacuums on the market, like Dyson’s.
The Shark Wandvac is designed as a lightweight cordless stick vacuum that empties itself. So if you’re someone who regularly forgets to empty your vacuum’s dustbin (or maybe you’re like me and just don’t like doing it), the Shark Self-Empty System is a perfect find for you. The system takes this bit of maintenance off your hands, and you always have your vacuum ready to start cleaning your house.
Another obvious perk of this vacuum is that it’s cordless and ultra-lightweight. I’ve experienced a few handheld vacuums before, which were too heavy for me to finish cleaning in one go. The Shark Wandvac System weighs 13.85 lbs (6.3kg) together with the charging base (which you won’t have to move during cleaning).
The vacuum itself transforms from the upright stick to an above-floor vacuum and to a small hand vacuum that only weighs 2.1 lbs (0.9kg), which you can use to quickly clean a spill without any effort.
Before we move on to talk about the Shark vacuum’s design and performance, here’s the list of tech specifications of this cordless vacuum cleaner.
- Dimensions: 8.75 x 11 x 43.5 in (22 x 28 x 110cm)
- Weight: 13.85 lbs (6.3kg)
- Type: cordless bagless stick vacuum
- Cleaning path width: 8.35 in (21.2cm)
- Capacity: 2.2 lbs (0.99kg)
- Dust cup capacity: 0.13 quarts
- Filter: HEPA H-10, washable
- Wattage: 120W
- Voltage: 14.4 Volts
- Noise level: 80 dB
- Extra accessories: duster crevice tool, pet hair multi-tool
- Battery type: lithium Ion
- Color: white
- Price: $329.99 on the Shark website and Amazon.
Design and Unpacking
The Shark Wandvac comes unassembled, with all parts fitting together in one box. After taking all of the contents out of the box, you can either use a quick start guide to put your cordless vacuum together or do it without using any instructions. The whole system is intuitive. I put the Shark Wandvac together in a matter of minutes without looking at the guide.
What’s in the Box
Here’s everything you’ll find in the box while unpacking your Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System vacuum:
- Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System Vacuum
- Self-Empty Charging Base with HEPA filter & quiet mode
- Duster crevice tool
- Pet tool
- Quick Start Guide & Owner’s Guide
Right from the start, I recommend doing one thing that will improve the look of your Shark Wandvac vacuum – peeling off all the labels you find on it. The labels are a thoughtful touch. Each of them helps you assemble and get to know how the vacuum works, but they spoil the overall appearance of the gadget. I believe the labels are there to be peeled off after (or even before) the first use.
The Shark Wandvac feels well-built and not fragile. The body of the vacuum, as well as the charging dock, are made of sturdy hard plastic. All parts easily connect together, and don’t feel like they’d easily break in case you drop them. The smaller part of the vacuum – the ergonomic handheld vacuum – feels super light and comfortable to hold.
The charging base doesn’t take up too much space, so you’ll be able to find a corner to tuck it in, even in a small apartment. The whole unit, together with the vacuum, doesn’t take up too much space either, so you won’t have a problem storing it in tight spaces. Plus, it looks stylish and modern. If anything, it’ll complement your apartment.
The back of the charging dock comes with an accessory storage space where you can attach one of your accessories – the duster crevice tool or the per multi-tool.
One thing that I found frustrating was the power cord, which I found too short for my apartment. You’ll probably have to find a place for the charging station right near the plug for the charger to reach the wall easily. Alternatively, you’ll have to use an extension cord as I did.
On the other hand, if you place the dock too close to the outlet and don’t want the charging cord to be visible, you can wrap the excess cord around the cord management slot near the bottom of the dock base.
On the handle of the vacuum, right under the power button, you’ll find three bright LED lights. These lights indicate how much battery you have remaining in your vacuum. Three lights are illuminated when the vacuum cleaner is fully charged, two lights for mid-charge, and one light for about 30% charge left. When the light starts blinking, you’ll know it’s time to pause your cleaning and charge your Shark Wandvac handheld vacuum.
Cleaning Performance
I found the Shark Wandvac Self-Emptying system to be a great help around the house. We tested the vacuum on hard floors, and it had no problem picking up large debris and fine dust. We don’t have a carpet at home, but the test we did on a couch proved that this vacuum could tackle different types of surfaces.
However, before you get to cleaning, you need to assemble your Shark Wandvac vacuum and put it on charge.
The Setup Process
After you get your cordless handheld vacuum out of the box, you’ll need to go through the setup process before you get started cleaning. Luckily, assembling the Shark Wandvac isn’t complicated and will only take a few minutes of your time. To assemble the vacuum, connect the wand to the nozzle of the main brush and then connect the hand vacuum to the wand.
When you put each part in place, you’ll hear a distinctive click. To assemble the dock, slide the charging post into the slot located on top of the charging base until it clicks into place. Then place the vacuum on the dock in a downward motion. You’ll know it’s properly attached when you hear the emptying of the dust cup process begin (it’s pretty loud, so you won’t miss it).
Make sure you fully charge your Shark Wandvac vacuum before the first use. That should take about 3 hours.
Vacuuming
Thanks to the different accessories included in the package, there are many different ways you can use the Shark Wandvac System to clean your apartment. If you prefer the upright stick mode, you can keep the PowerFins floor nozzle on for a deeper floor cleaning. Or you can ditch the wand and switch to the handheld vacuum cleaner mode with an accessory of your choice.
In our experience, the PowerFins nozzle is the best for general floor cleaning. The suction power is strong enough to pick up all of the messes in our apartment. We also tested it in our neighbor’s place, which has a massive dog hair problem, and the vacuum did a wonderful job there as well. The self-cleaning brushroll must be really working since we never experienced any hair wraps or traps during testing.
The duster crevice tool is perfect for cleaning up any tight spaces you may have in your apartment. In my experience, it was the spider web on the ceiling of our mezzanine that I kept looking at but could never get to. The Shark Wandvac + the duster crevice worked great at picking all of that up for me.
The multi-tool is designed for pet hair and upholstery and will do a great job at cleaning your car as well. Shark Wandvac is probably one of the best cordless vacuums for car cleaning, thanks to its portability and lightweight design. Detach the handheld vacuum from the wand and carry it inside your car without worrying about a power cord getting in the way. You can use both accessories for cleaning the vehicle’s salon and for getting into tight corners.
Aside from car cleaning, I found that this hand vac works great on furniture, dusty window sills, bookshelves, and stairs. In other words, all of the places that a standard stick vacuum would struggle to get to.
The handheld part of the Shark Wandvac system has a dust cup, which you can empty manually or let the vacuum do it automatically once you place the vacuum back onto the charging dock. The dust cup has a small capacity of 0.12 liters. When you slide the release button forward, the dust cup will swing open.
The Self-Emptying Process
If you’re not a fan of emptying the vacuum’s dust bin yourself, the Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System can do it for you. After you’re finished cleaning, place the vacuum on the charging dock until it clicks.
Once it’s attached, you’ll hear the auto-evacuation process begin. The self-emptying process is rather loud (surprisingly, not as loud as the auto-emptying on the Botslab S8 Plus), but it only lasts for 10 seconds.
If you need the vacuum to be quiet, you can disable the auto-emptying process for the time being. To do that, press the mute button on the charging dock. Quiet mode is perfect for when you don’t want to disturb other people or pets in the house.
The best part about the auto-emptying feature is that you can forget those nasty dust clouds when you empty the vacuum’s dust bin manually. The Wandvac automatically empties fine dust, debris, and allergens into a sealed system with HEPA filtration.
Short Run Time
The first time I got to use this vacuum, I felt like it was too good to be true. And then I noticed that after about 12 mins of run time, the LED light started blinking, reminding me that I needed to put the vac on charge. The next time I used the Wandvac, I managed to get the whole 15 mins out of it, but that was its maximum.
To be fair, I only have two small rooms, and I’m done cleaning before the battery runs out. But if you own a bigger home, this vacuum won’t suffice for any significant cleaning sessions. The Shark Wandvac is perfect for quick clean-ups but not for a top-to-bottom deep cleaning of your entire place.
Battery Life
The Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System comes with lithium-ion batteries pre-installed. You’ll need about 3.5 hours to charge the vacuum from zero fully.
Shark claims that the unit will run for 17 mins at full charge, but remember that you can only reach those results using the handheld vacuum. When you attach the wand and the floor nozzle, the time is reduced by a few minutes, making the already short battery life even shorter.
Like all lithium-ion products, the battery will naturally decrease in capacity over time. However, the Wandvac system comes with a long 5-year limited warranty, with a 2-year battery warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee. If the battery fails during the warranty period, you can request a free replacement.
Should You Buy the Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System?
Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System is a perfect vacuum cleaner for anyone who lives in a small-to-medium-size apartment, doesn’t like to empty the vacuum’s dust bin manually, and needs a versatile cleaning tool that can tackle different surfaces.
Add the lightweight and portability factor, and you’ll get a definite yes to whether you should get this vacuum for your house cleaning needs. The only real downside of this cleaning beast is the short run time, so I wouldn’t recommend getting it as a primary vacuum cleaner for a big house.
And if you’re looking for a fully-automated cleaning option, consider getting a robot vacuum that will do all of the house cleaning for you.
