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

Para mi pequeña empresa estoy fascinada es lo mejor, me gusta porque puedo lavar el filtro y la parte donde almacena lo sucio

This is a great vacuum. Easy to use. Like how you can take it apart to carry and use to clean things. Easy to empty.

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

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.

I am a huge fan of Shark vacuums. I also have a very expensive Miele canister vac, and I have to say the Shark is easier to use and has just as good (if not better) suction as the expensive Miele. Mieles are also notorious for having short cords, which are a real pain in the neck. I had been using the Shark Navigator NV70 for the last ten years (it was a goldish-tan color), and I loved that vacuum. After 10 years of service, it just stopped sucking one day. I didnt even notice that it had lost suction until I vacuumed my cream, bedroom rug and 5 minutes later I found my long, dark brown hair everywhere. I tried new filters. I washed out the canister. But alas, Shark, know to his friends as Sharkie, was no more. So, I decided to upgrade on my new vacuum to a Shark with the lift away feature. I have been using the Shark NV360 for over a month, and I really love it. Assembly was a breeze, and boy does this thing have a lot of suction. After my first trip around the house, I had to empty the canister twice. The NV360 is a beautiful navy blue color, and it does come with a crevice tool and red, felt lined upholstery tool. I did go ahead and spend a few bucks at the Shark website to get an accessory package with a longer crevice tool and a brush head attachment, which I prefer to the upholstery tool. The lift away feature is easy to use. Sometimes the release buttons/latches that you need to press to release the lift away can be a little tight, and you need to press the button while wiggling the vacuum to get the lift away to release. In comparison to my old Shark NV70, the NV360 is much lighter with a wider vacuum head. The NV70 was built so tough that it felt like a truck could run over it, and it would be fine. The NV360 is lighter which makes chores easier, but you also lose that great, sturdy, feeling that the NV70 had. The NV360 feels a little like a toy vacuum in comparison to the NV70. The NV70 also had a longer cord - maybe 5 feet longer. But, the lift away technology and wider brush head do make up for the shorter cord. My only real complaint is that the NV360 is so light that it can easily fall over. That is a problem when you are trying to reach that last little bit of whatever with the extension wand and then BOOM. The NV360 has its weight near the back of the vacuum, so it tends to fall backward rather than on its side like the NV70. That caused a dent in my coffee table, but now I know that I really have to move the vacuum to a closer outlet when using the attachment wand. Overall, this is a great vacuum with great suction at a fair price. I do miss the sturdy feel of the NV70, but for anyone looking for a lightweight vacuum with excellent suction, this is your solution.

We have tile floors and use only a light weight vacuum with no brushes and not great suction. The NV360 Navigator has great suction which had to be adjust to a lesser pull to avoid dragging the small area rugs. My wifes allergies were immediately affected by dust stirred up by the brushes. That did not seem to be from any leak in the dust cup but may have been from the brush. The Navigator pulled a significant amount of dirt/dust from the small rugs. Will test for dust issues when use again next week.

Years ago saw prices for vacuum cleaners that were rated high for suction strength and they were all quite pricey. Because I work in a theatre where every shop and each stage always has a wet-dry shopvac as standard equipment, I was well aware of the massive suction power of that type of vacuum. They had suction stronger by exponential factors to any household vacuums and I discovered, that they were MUCH cheaper than those household brands. So I thought I would just think outside the box and for under a hundred bucks, I would get a shopvac instead. Not only would I get spectacular suction with a shopvac, but they also suck up liquids as well, something household vacs dont do. The wet pickup function meant that when I wash the kitchen floor, sucking up the dirty water would be a breeze. So I went with the unconventional and replaced our standard Hoover vacuum with a wet-dry shopvac. Well, after about 5 years, we realize that the cumbersome shop-vac was just to big and difficult to maneuver and it was time to admit it wasnt the best outside the box idea and so I bought this Sharp. I am happy to report, it was a good decision -- biggest plus is that the suction is excellent. Second biggest plus after lugging around a big clunky shopvac that took up an inordinate amount of space in the closet, The Sharp maneuverability is so much better than the shopvac as is its much smaller footprint. All in all, I am happy with the unit. I do see some cons that should be noted: CON 1: This unit comes with a measly 2 attachments. Attachments are the cheapest items of anything related to a vacuum cleaner system. Why Sharp is so stingy about the attachments is incomprehensible. And one of the most common and most needed of all types of attachment is the brush attachment -- no vacuum we have ever owned didnt come with a simple brush attachment. This one did not. You get a crevice tool (a tool that in all the years I have used vacuums, is a tool that I hardly EVER used) and what they call an upholstery tool.. Give me a real BRUSH attachment with bristles (something I consider ESSENTIAL and should be standard with very vacuum package) and not make me have to BUY one as an after-purchase....ugh. 13 Sept 22 -- a bit more about these two attachments; they come with a holder that supposedly attaches to the unit. There is a place on the unit that says ACCESSORY HOLDER. It even has an arrow pointing to a plastic protrusion. Problem is, no way does that accessory holder attach to that little plastic thing. So not only are the two attachments not the ones I want, but now I have no where to put them except to carry them around separately along with the useless holder that they go into...and not very snugly either, btw; they are always falling out of it. CON 2: The capacity of the dirt container is laughably small. I have a two room apartment and I cant get thru vacuuming all the rooms without needing to empty the dirt bin at least once, maybe twice. Now I know I have been spoiled by the massive dirt storage capacity of a shopvac -- you could go a whole year and never have to empty it -- and while I dont expect that kind of capacity from a home vacuum cleaner, even our regular Hoover or our Electrolux bag vacuums didnt require emptying the dirt bags after EACH room; usually the dirt bag only needed changing after maybe a month or two of use. And adding to that, I am not at all a fan of bagless vacuum systems like this Sharp. There is a reason why vacuums used throat-away bags to collect the dirt were so popular and were used for decades. The bag filled up, you took it out of the vacuum and you threw it away. No fuss; no DUST! With the bagless Sharp, every time you empty the dirt bin, there is a plume of dust rises out of the garbage pail you are emptying it into. I guess not a horrendous problem if you do that outside the house, but if you are an apartment dweller as we are, it means you empty the dirt bin inside your apartment. And inevitably at least some of the dust you just vacuumed up is now rising back into your environment. So all the HEPA filters in the world that are in the vacuum cleaner are for naught if dust plumes rise back into the room with every empty...and this vacuum requires LOTS of empties. For me, that is a pretty hefty negative for this unit. Last Con: Bought this a month ago and the extension tube that is supposed to detach from the body of the unit so it becomes wand -- that no longer detaches from the body. There is a red button that you push and it is supposed to unlock the tube, but this piece will no longer remove from the body of the unit. So now it can only be used as a floor vacuum. Was going to give this 3 stars, but now it only gets a 2. Let me live with it a few more months and it may go down to 1 star. If I lived in a house that had stairs and couldnt detach the wand to do the stairs, I know i would send this thing back. ----------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: March 2023 In a few months it will be a year since we purchased this. Magically last month the wand now does detach from the body so it can be use as intended, so I am chalking that up to something that is a one-off problem with my unit and not universal to this product. However, in the other realm of cons I mentioned previously, things have gotten WORSE. The small dirt capacity and emptying the dirt canister are even more annoying than I thought they would be at first. The canister is not a simple open container like I first thought -- no, it is multiple construction with a center cylinder piece that constrains the space. As dust and debris pile up in the container, solid clumps of dirt and debris get wedged in between the two plastic parts. To empty his thing, you would think, just open it and turn it over and gravity would just let all the dirt fall out. Oh contraire mon frère -- the big clumps of dirt wont just fall out, you have to get some kind of long tool (I use a long handle of a wooden spoon) to work in the canister to dislodge the jammed lumps of debris, while with every movement of that canister, plumes of dust are rising in your face. I can assure you, this is no cleaning day picnic...more like cleaning day hell. I really dont know how long I am going to stick with this product before I get so frustrated that I just give it away and get a vacuum that has a traditional disposable bag to catch the dirt. If you live in a place where you can empty the dirt canister outside, then you can keep this at two stars as this product may work for you and since we all have a supply of face masks nowadays, be sure to wear one along with a hat to cover your hair and old work cloths because dirt clouds are going to get all over you each time you need to empty the dirt canister...which will be MANY times. If you live in an apartment, then I drop this rating to one star and a Not Recommended.

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

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

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.
