Shark WD201, HydroVac XL 3-in-1 Vacuum, Blue, 38 Qt. Capacity

Product Information

The clean and dirty water containers on the Shark were much smaller, maybe 1/3rd the capacity of my other unit. Interestingly however, it didn't seem like it had that big of an impact on the actual ability to clean and how many times I had to change the water. It seems like the Shark uses less water for similar results which is nice since constantly changing the dirty water tank and adding more water is time-consuming.

The materials on the Shark are not as high quality or premium as the more expensive competitor which is to be expected. The lights and LED readouts are not as high-tech and the charging and cleaning base in particular was not as substantial feeling compared to my other unit. Because of the run time, which we have observed to be approx 22 minutes before the battery runs out, we are not able to clean our entire house before recharging. Also, when you run the unit until it dies, it does not have the power to run the cleaning cycle until it sufficiently recharges, This "con" can be eliminated, I assume, by purchasing the corded model. It weighs 8.5 pounds and has a runtime of about 30-40 minutes. It takes about four hours to fully charge. Hydrovac excavation reduces the risks associated with traditional excavation methods. The use of high-pressure water reduces the need for hand digging, which can be a hazardous process.

Accuracy: Operators use a handheld pressurized wand to direct the stream of water that cuts through and softens the soil. Professionals can easily maneuver around tight quarters with minimal disruption to their environment, even if there are nearby obstacles like streetlights, signs, and adjacent utility systems.

One last note - props to Shark for the headlights. You don't always think about that on a vacuum or wet mop and they're VERY handy when cleaning under tables or counters. The growing popularity of hydro excavation started largely in Canada, where cold weather and frozen soil often rendered traditional tools and methods to be ineffective.
