Score: 74/100Rankings
The Shark WV201 Wandvac is an ultra-lightweight handheld with rapid dock charging, ideal for quick spot-cleaning tasks. Its major drawbacks are the brief 10-minute runtime and small dust capacity. Best for travelers and pet owners who need a portable, on-the-go vacuum.
The Black+Decker BDH2000PL is a 20 V MAX cordless hand vacuum with strong 35 W suction and a versatile pivoting nozzle. Its 10-minute runtime and lack of HEPA filtration limit its use for extended or allergy-focused cleaning. Suited for quick clean-ups in homes, cars and tight spaces where power and maneuverability are key.
