The vacuum can run continuously on a single charge for about 10 to 15 minutes, but that's perfect for the small tablets you use it on. If it was something bigger, you would probably use your full size vacuum. The charging station gives you a convenient place to store it and the attached caddy has room for 2 of the accessories. Note: This set gives you 3 attachments, so one will always be hanging on the side (TBH, I wish there were three slots, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me).
There are no bags or filters to change. Everything is vacuumed into the transparent container and you can empty it with the push of a button. When you feel that the machine is losing a little power, just clean the filter (it's washable). Just don't use it on wet messes, this is a dry type of vacuum.
Overall, portability, convenience, and powerful suction are what make the Shark WANDVAC a keeper for me. He cleans up after my kids, makes sure the interior of my car is presentable, and reduces the dust in my house (with very little stress). But, the shark sells pretty quickly, so don't wait.
