In terms of physics, the Shark BlastBoss is kind of the antithesis of a vacuum: It’s still a cordless cleaning tool, but it blows instead of sucks. I swear I wanted to try it for more reasons than the fact that it comes in pink. Upon the BlastBoss’s debut in March 2026, I immediately thought of all the dust and crumbs I encounter regularly that don’t really budge from the suction power of a robot or stick vacuum.
The Shark BlastBoss is marketed for a huge range of indoor and outdoor use. Since I don’t have any outdoor space at my apartment, I also took it on a trip to my parents’ house to test its versatility in a garage and a basement and on a porch. I found several ways to use the BlastBoss just in the past month, and there are countless possibilities beyond that. TL;DR? Use the table of contents to skip down to the testing tea for usage inside, outside, and in the car.
What does the Shark BlastBoss do?
The Shark BlastBoss is a handheld cordless blower that uses high-velocity air to clean dirty spots where it doesn’t make sense to use a vacuum.
