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

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).

Works very well. Easy to assemble, powerful suction, very happy with the purchase

Vacuumed a carpet that had been vacuumed before. The amount of dirt it picked up was amazing. Wish the dust cup was easier to clean.

Great price for an amazing product. Easy to setup and will suck up all that dog hair no problem

This brand of vacuum cleaner has always been a favorite of mine. Back when I had a dog, it was an essential during sheading season. It stood up to pet hair and like it says it doesnt loose suction.

Liked it to bits

Picks up just about anything you need it to. I like the fact that the handle and the hose is detachable. Either with the wand or just the handle. Easy to use.

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(!)

This is the best vacuum I have ever invested in. I have had it for a week now so far so good.

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?
