Shark MessMaster VS101

Shark never disappoints, and the Shark MessMaster Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum is no exception. For such a compact unit, the suction is incredibly powerful. It easily picks up sand, dirt, and dog hair from the car, which was the main reason I purchased it, and it handles the job effortlessly.

very handy for getting into tight spaces, along the seats, and around other hard-to-reach areas in the car. The size is perfect as well—compact, easy to store, and quick to grab whenever you need it.

My only small criticism is that it would be nice to be able to dial the suction back a little, as it can be very strong depending on what you’re cleaning. I would also love to see an attachment with soft bristles included, as that would be great for more delicate interior surfaces.

I haven’t had the chance to try the wet suction feature yet, so I can’t comment on that part just yet, but if it performs anywhere near as well as the dry suction, it should be excellent.

Overall, I’m very happy with this vacuum. It’s powerful, convenient, and does a fantastic job keeping the car clean—especially if you’re dealing with sand or pet hair.

Pros: ✔ Extremely powerful suction for a small vacuum ✔ Excellent for sand, dirt, and dog hair in the car ✔ Good range of attachments ✔ Compact and easy to store

Cons: ✖ No option to adjust suction power ✖ A soft-bristle attachment would be a great addition

Suggestion for Shark: It would be fantastic if Shark offered an optional soft-bristle attachment for this model, as it would make it even better for cleaning delicate surfaces inside vehicles.
