Estate sales, yard sales, and antique shops were regular weekend destinations for my brother and me as kids. My parents, always on the hunt for period-appropriate decor for our Staten Island 19th-century house, made sure of it. Since then, I’ve had a love for home design and…read more

Last year, I bought the Shark WANDVAC POWER PET Cordless Handheld Vacuum to tackle my kids’ messes and spills, plus the occasional dog hair from my in-laws’ golden retriever. I bragged about the powerful suction so much that my mom asked to borrow it while she was working on some home repairs. Five months later, I’m still waiting for her to return it. She’s called it a “life-saver” for dust and debris in hard-to-reach places.

Through July 18, it’s on sale, bringing the price down from the retail value of $124.99 to $89.98.  If you’re new to QVC, you can get an extra $20 off your first order of $40 or more with code WELCOME20 through July 20. That’s a deal on a deal!

What Is the Shark WANDVAC POWER PET Cordless Handheld Vacuum?

From crumbs on the couch to crevices in the car, the Shark WANDVAC POWER PET Handheld Vacuum can handle all those small messes that would be a pain with a bigger device. It has a sleek, cordless design, weighs just 1.48 pounds, and comes with a charging dock that easily stores the included pet and crevice tools. On a single charge, you get up to 15 minutes of runtime  — which I found ideal for little cleanups — and up to 9 minutes in the more powerful boost mode.

The Shark handheld also includes a washable filter, so you don’t have to worry about replacements, but remember to clean it out once a month. I found that this did affect the machine’s performance! What are you waiting for? This deal ends soon, so get your own Shark today — I’m talking to you, Mom.

What QVC Shoppers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.1 / 5

“I own two other vacuums, a full-size and a portable Dewalt. I am trying to downsize, so I wasn’t sure I needed this. BUT, I’m so glad I made the purchase!! It has been my “go-to” when cleaning our RV (traveling with two Huskies for four months). It gets into the smallest areas and is pretty powerful. It’s lightweight, and great for touchups.” –ORgirl75

“I love this powerful little thing so far! Super handy for tight spaces, the car, and cleaning up small messes with a litter of puppies hanging around the house! The only thing I would change is how small the canister is for debris. But other than that, it’s been great! I love Shark products.” –Shay

“I bought this handheld vacuum for fast cleaning around the kids. I actually bought three of these: one for myself and two for gifts. Best-ever buys.” –Coffeefreak94
