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

I purchased this vacuum to replace an older, bulkier vacuum that had lost suction. So far this little vacuum has been amazing. When it arrived and I took it out of the box, I was a little apprehensive when I saw how narrow the vacuum was. My first thought was that I was going to have to do so much more work to get my floors clean. The vacuum arrived in several large pieces, so I used the manual to get it all put together. It only took a couple minutes, and was not difficult. After I got it all put together, I read through all the features and how to use them. You can detach the canister from the roller base, in order to clean stairs, or other awkward places. It is definitely helpful on stairs. The one thing I do want to note though, is that my stairs are carpeted, and the detached canister did not sit well on the carpeted stairs, and I had to use my knee to make sure it didnt tip over and tumble down the stairs. There is an upholstery attachment with a roller that spins when attached to wand and vacuum is on. This is good for the stairs as well. There is also a very long, extendible thin wand that is mean to help clean under couches and large furniture. There is also a crevice tool. This vacuum is significantly lighter than my previous vacuum, and pivots and turns incredibly easily. This vacuum also has very powerful suction, and almost makes it seem like it is self propelled. You can also adjust the suction if you are vacuuming a thick carpet, or an area rug, and are trying to keep the vacuum from grabbing onto your carpet. The first time I used this vacuum, it had only been a couple days since i had vacuumed with my old vacuum, but I filled an entire canister just vacuuming my living room and dining room area rugs, and my stairs. The canister is a little smaller than my old vacuum, but if it does a significantly better job, I can handle emptying it a little more frequently. I am very happy with my purchase so far. If you found my review helpful, I would love it if you would click yes.

The suction is great and it is so easy to clean! I have long hair and a dog. This vacuum picks it all up and is makes hair easy to remove from the floor bristles. It also works on my small areas of hardwood floors. Great for the price!

The suction was great and for most that would be an advantage, but I need something that will glide easier.

We have 3 cats and one is a longhaired big boy. This vacuum gets all of his cat hair thats been sitting on our carpeted stairs. Its amazing how much hair was just stuck to our carpet that we couldnt even see because the carpet and the cat fur are grey! The canister is easy to empty and holds a lot. The vacuum is easy to maneuver and swivels well. I didnt think the vacuum was heavy, it seems to be similar in weight to my old Bissell upright. I would buy this again and recommend it to anybody else looking for a good vacuum at a great price.

Im honestly blown away. This is my first time buying a shark and it is crazy good. I have 3 kids, two of them toddlers, a husband, and a puppy which means constant messes. This makes my carpet look so clean. The suction is so strong that when I was using liftaway to vacuum the stairs it took effort to move the hose across the floor. Im in love and if your house is borderline hoarder mode like mine with the constant messes, this is what you NEED!

Great vacuum! Love the suction-only feature (no brush rotation if so desired), as my new carpeting is loop-pile not cut-pile so I cant use a rotating brush on it. Great suction. Works great on my hardwood floors! Lightweight but powerful. Love the easy of the hose-only feature, and its easy to dump the canister. Love the articulating head to get around objects and under furniture. Ive never said I loved a vacuum before (and Ive had many in 50 years)--I love this vacuum! Would buy from this seller again--the vacuum was delivered in one day! Very reasonably priced too.

This is a very nice vacuum which you can separate and carry just the canister around, this is a wonderful design. The upholstery tool doesnt stay on and turn as you use it, luckily I had extras from previous vacuums for use one working better. I had no issues with the crevice tool, and have extras as well. I enjoy using this thing, cleaning is a breeze!

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?

After a string of failed vacuums that would last a year at my store I finally went with shark and already I see a huge difference in durability and suction. So worth it! Not even comparable to other brands.

I like my shark vacuum so far. Only used it twice so far but has much better suction than my Hoover did.
