Who should consider buying the Handvac? And how does it compare to other handheld vacuums? Keep reading our Shark Handvac CH950UKT review to find out. Overview of the Shark CH950UKT Handvac’s Features

We found that the combination of lightweight design and mini motorised tool makes the Shark cordless handheld vacuum cleaner excellent for cleaning stairs. The bristles dig into carpet fibres to pull up dust and dirt. The crevice tool is also great for whizzing around the edges.

The first step is to remove the vacuum canister and cleaning head from the main body. To do this, there is a yellow button on the underside of the vacuum. The Shark Handvac CH950UKT is an excellent handheld vacuum cleaner. It doesn’t come with many advanced features and it’s not the most convenient handheld, but when it comes to cleaning performance we think it’s amongst the best around. We found the dusting brush useful for more delicate surfaces, although we felt that the fibres were stiffer than we would like. Be careful when using the dusting brush on very delicate surfaces, as the bristles could cause small scratches.

This means you need to touch the dirty filters, while also disturbing dust into the air, before you can clean them. Shark sells replacement filters for the CH950UKT. The filters should last a long time, but if they become torn or otherwise damaged then it’s important to replace them.The Shark Cordless Handvac sits at the lower end of the price range for handheld vacuums. We’re impressed with how much you get for your money when you factor in the suction power and motorised pet tool. The Shark Handvac only has one power setting, so it’s straightforward to operate. The button for this is easy to reach when holding the cleaner. This is important, as you’ll need to switch it on and off regularly to maximise the short battery run-time. with no-fade Lithium-ion technology - great for on-the-spot cleans. A helpful battery light indicator lets you know when the vacuum's power is low. The V7 has an impressive 30 minute run time and only takes 3.5 hours to charge. It’s significantly better than the 10 minutes run time and 4 hours charge time for the Shark. The Shark Cordless HandVac Pet Model is a bit of a bargain. It did a good job of cleaning our deliberate test messes, despite operating with a lower level of suction than some of its rivals.

Only use cold water to clean the Shark CH950UKT’s filters. Never clean the filters with hot water, cleaning products, a dishwasher, or a machine wash. Step 4: Allow the Filters Time to Dry Fully For example, the CH950UKT is an excellent vacuum for hard floors and stairs. We also really like that it comes with a motorised pet tool, as this greatly improves the carpet and upholstery cleaning performance compared with most competing vacuums. For these reasons, we don’t recommend buying the CH950UKT specifically as a car vacuum. It can still be useful for cleaning most of your car interior though. Stairs According to the product specifications, the 10.8V lithium-ion battery powers the Shark Handvac for up to 10 minutes. This is around average for a handheld vacuum, but is only suitable for spot cleaning. Fast, easy on-the-spot cleaning – this lightweight cordless handvac is designed to clean up everyday dust, debris and pet hairThe large capacity dust cup features one-touch easy empty for effortless debris disposal. The washable filter is easy to clean for suction that lasts. You can now remove the filter frame from the dust cup. Be gentle when doing this to avoid damaging the frame. Step 2: Remove Both Filters From The Filter Housing However, when I used it against our standard test spillage tests, I was blown away. Without an attachment connected, it easily gobbled up 26g of Cheerios on both carpet and hard floor. Where I’ve seen smaller handheld vacuums get clogged and overstuffed, the Shark has a clever design that traps the debris out of the way of the suction mechanism.
