Shark WANDVAC Handheld Vacuum vs Tineco GO Mini Pet Handheld Vacuum

The Tineco GO Mini Pet is the better pick for most people. It runs about twice as long per charge, has HEPA filtration, and its pet brush is built for couches, car seats and cushions. The Shark WANDVAC is far lighter at 1.4 lb and its tapered nozzle reaches tight spots, but 10 minutes of runtime and a small 0.08 gal bin mean frequent stops. Owners rate the Tineco higher, though on far fewer ratings, so treat that gap as a hint rather than proof.

• Choose the Shark WANDVAC if you want the lightest handheld for quick crumbs, rug edges and car crevices, and you don't mind short runs.
• Choose the Tineco GO Mini Pet if pet hair on upholstery and car seats is the main job and you want longer runtime and HEPA filtration.
