Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum with Large Dust Cup Capacity, HEPA Filter, Swivel Steering, Upholstery Tool & Crevice Tool, Blue

Greta for all big and small clean ups.

I just purchased my second shark vacuum. Theres no other vacuum I will use. A friend gave me a Bissell and I havent even put it together. This vacuum will pick up dirt, leaves and stickers better tracked in to the house as well as hair and cat fur. Its by far the best vacuum I have ever used and wont use any other.

This Vacuum has good suction and is easy to move around. The main disappointment is with the attachments. I dont like how they are stored on the vacuum... They get in the way and fall off. You also only get two, they feel relatively poor quality, and there isnt a brush attachment. Ill probably store them in a closet.

I needed an upgrade from the vacuum I had because it would try pulling out dog hair but would never bring it out of the carpet. My tan carpet looked gray in areas from the black dog hair. I asked around and a few of my friends recommended a Shark Navigator. I liked the pricing and it seemed to have good reviews. I just got it today and was excited to try it. I used my old vacuum on Monday....today is Thursday. The carpeting didnt look too dirty but I still wanted to try out my purchase. It pulled out so much dirt and hair from my clean carpet. I emptied the canister and thought for fun Id weigh it to see. I could puke! It collected 0.4 POUNDS of nastiness from just the general walking area of my carpets. This wasnt even a deep clean (I didnt go under the couches or even every area of my living room).

I was amazed and embarrassed how much dirt this vacuum picked up from my ‘clean’ carpet the first time I used it! So easy to maneuver (my first swivel vacuum), great vacuum and easy to empty canister. So worth the money - lived the prompt shipping and went together super fast!

This is a first impression review based on features and a first use to vacuum my whole house. Pros: The suction is absolutely amazing. It almost sticks to the floor when vacuuming a low height area rug. The swivel feature is great for reaching under furniture. Its lightweight but still very powerful.[[ The detach feature and the arm are convenient and lightweight. Cons: The upholstery attachment doesnt have a hard attachment to the suction arm. It just sort of wiggles into place but because the suction of the vacuum is so good, the upholstery attachment pops off easily. I had to hold it into place with my free hand as I was vacuuming my couch. That was rather disappointing since vacuuming my couch was a big reason why I bought this vacuum. It accomplishes that goal but is not as easy as I would have hoped. Maybe in time I will figure out a way to do it easier? No other cons, really...

So I first bought this back in February 2020. It worked like a beast until November 2022, when it took an accidental tumble down my stairs and the hose literally split and popped beyond repair. I was sad. So I bought a new one, which was much harder to find, but find one I did! I kept the old ones canister and attachments to have extras on hand. Now for my review: It is the best vacuum Ive owned that gets up pet hair. I have one double-coated dog and three cats that seem to never stop shedding. It has excellent suction and picks up more than any other vacuum Ive owned. Its still kind of bulky clunky when detaching to clean stairs, but it still works - you just have to put in effort. The con of this vacuum other than not being invincible against stair tumbling - its so top heavy that it rarely will stand up by itself like most upright vacuums. It just falls over - while you are vacuuming with the hose and while storing it. I have to lean it in my cleaning closet so it doesnt fall over. Thats my only complaint with it.

In spite of what other reviewers have said, in spite of the promotionals have said, this unit is NOT suitable for seniors unless they are fit with good muscle strength and strong backs. Im an 80 yr old woman, in fairly good condition and still struggle with this thing. Even just using the cannister part after removal from the base, is a load to carry. I cannot recommend this for most other seniors. HOWEVER, otherwise this is a really nice vaccuum cleaner. Pros: does not overheat like previous Shark vacuums good suction huge dust cup that is easy to empty and clean easy to assemble, take parts apart and back together again easy to maneuver the base part cute idea for the storage of small tools for different functions washable, easily replaceable filters Cons: HEAVY (cant be overstated) I cant imagine hauling the dustcup and hose up stairs one step at a time trying to vacuum each step. Considering that the liftaway apparatus with hose and attachments plus cord dragging behind weighs something close to 10 pounds that means that lifting it up 15 stairs equals lifting 150 pounds in all tools are really small the idea of dusting with it is a joke, the hose is too short, the pipe to the tool is too long making maneuvering the head difficult at any angle especially when holding the heavy dustcup apparatus in the other hand. Wish list for this and all other vacuum cleaners A floor dusting tool that is 8to12 inches wide with soft bristles. Using the head to dust the floors is generally not a great idea. I use a very old head from an vacuum of long ago, taped onto the pipe part when I need to get into corners and under furniture near the legs. A machine that is light yet not flimsy, or carelessly made, wont break after a year or two of use. Promotional ads that dont call a heavy machine light, that state the weight of each part as well as the whole, that states the size of the dustcup in cups or quarts. If a machine is stated as being good for seniors, show an average senior woman of at least 70, cleaning a room, using each part, in real time. What? Too much to ask?

This is a great, powerful vacuum. It cleans up most detritus at one pass and is great for wall-to-wall carpet areas or spaces covered by heavy area rugs. It is, however, pretty heavy, and the powerful suction means that it takes a little muscle to move it across the carpet. It would not be ideal for a space with lighter weight rugs because the tilt feature is pretty low to the ground, so if you want to hold the end with your foot and sweep one way to the end of a rug, then tilt, roll back, and bring the vacuum back up the rug again (no contact so the rug wont be pulled up), this involves bending way down. If you want a powerful vacuum with a large capacity canister, this is the vacuum for you. If you want a vacuum thats lightweight and moves easily across your pile carpet, look at some of the other highly rated Shark models. Think, too, about whether you want a disposable bag or a canister. Theoretically, canisters can fill to capacity. In reality, after youve done a room or two, the suction diminishes, and you need to dump out what youve collected. Bags have the disadvantage of seeming to run out just when companys coming, but they do hold a lot more and allow you to vacuum for weeks without changing if you dont have pets(!)

I’ve been buying Shark products for a long time and have been happy with them. It was time for a new vacuum and this is the one I chose. Suction is strong, but it’s still new. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but seems durable.
