Shark SV736N 15.6-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Review

When you want to buy a cordless vacuum cleaner the three most important criteria to consider are good suction power, long lasting battery life and good build quality. Luckily the Shark SV736N cordless handheld vacuum cleaner has all these qualities. But is this the right cordless vacuum for you?

Pros

The Shark SV736N cordless vacuum cleaner has enough suction power to clean car seats, car floors, bed sheets, sofa, rugs and bare floors. Even though it is only 15.6 volt it is powerful enough to suck in dust bunnies, nails, oreo crumbs, sand and cobwebs. The motorized brush attachment is a great addition that improves the suction performance when cleaning carpets, couch and sheets from pet hair.

The battery for Shark SV736N can last up to 18 minutes. In the first 12 minutes this vacuum can maintain its maximum suction power but after that the suction power reduced. Though you can't expect to fully vacuum the whole house in a mere 18 minutes this vacuum is still good enough when you want to clean your car interior or for some quick clean ups around the house. Note that those numbers apply when you're not using the motorized brush attachment. When you use the attachment the battery life is reduced significantly.

Now, let's talk about the build quality. Even though this vacuum is rather heavy (7.5) it is solidly-built and seems able to withstand a little bumping here and there when you're vacuuming tight spaces.

This vacuum also comes with two smaller nose attachments that you can use to clean narrow areas like inside your computer CPU and between the keyboard keys.

Cons

The weak point for Shark SV736N is the charging station. It's easy to pull this vacuum off the station but plugging it back in is the real challenge. You need to be precise and put a little bit more effort to slip the charging pins.

Conclusion

The Shark SV736N cordless handheld vacuum cleaner will only cost you less than $40 to buy. That is a small price to pay for a powerful and reliable cordless vacuum to clean your car interior and some quick cleaning around the house. If you're a pet owner this is really a must have.
