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

I had two other vacuums Ive been using, thinking they were doing the job. My daughter took one and I wanted a better one for pet hair. I got this thing, ran it JUST in my living room and got enough hair to build another cat. I ran it again, filled to the line. Ran it AGAIN and still more dirt and lint and stuff came up. Good Lord. I cannot believe what that thing pulled up. All the while thinking I had BEEN vacuuming. This thing is a wonder. I am elderly and very petite and had no problem assembling it, pushing it and I love the swivel action. Highly recommend!

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 bought a shark vacuum a few years ago and was completely amazed at what it picked up! Im a regular vacumm-er and thought my carpet was clean, but, after seeing what this picked up, I was a believer! I bought his one for my mother. She was using a dyson for years. I brought my Shark over to her house and picked up SEVERAL CANNISTERS of crud! She had to have one after that. Its light and easy to use, it pivots well in tight spaces and can get around awkward areas easily because it twists so well. I love it and will never use another vacuum brand other than Shark again!

Easy to assemble, no bag hassle and not bad to clean, but I dont like how heavy it is to carry and vacuuming stairs.

We had a Dyson Animal vacuum for 15 years that needed to be replaced. We kept up the maintenance on it, but it just didn’t seem to be cleaning as well as it used to. I started researching vacuums and was a little nervous about this one due to some of the negative reviews. I am so glad I took the chance and bought it! I couldn’t believe how much it picked up the first time I used it (wish now I had taken a picture!) that my Dyson had left behind. After using it for almost a month and a half, I can say I love this vacuum! I wish I’d have bought it 2 years ago!

The review further below is one I wrote a few months ago. Additional added: After 10 months I wanted to clean some gunk out of the brush area where the clear plastic view window is located. There are 8 screws you have to remove including some hidden ones, and I discovered they are all T-15 torx security. I am an experienced DYI guy, and have tons of tools, including torx, but had never encountered torx security. They have a small pont inside the screw head that requires a special hollowed out torx security bit - I had to buy a set. I dont know the reason why Shark would do this - maybe to get you to take it into an expensive repair shop. But if you ever have to change a belt, which is common task, or clean out the brush area, you are going to need these special screw removers T-15 torx security. Get long length 3 because at least one screw is deely recessed. Also, you have to pop out the very small plastic rollers at the front to gain accees to two screws that are hidden beneath those tiny rollers. Near the large rear wheels, you will see two screws near each wheel. You do not have to remove the ones that are aligned with the wheels axles, but you do have to remove the ones that are in that area a little deeper set. I have had this for about two months. When it first came I was surprised by how small it was. The cleaning path width is only about 2/3 the width of my old Eureka, so I figured it would take 1/3 longer to vacuum. Well, I dont know about actual time, but after using it almost daily since we got a new dog about 3 weeks ago, I can tell you I really, really like it. I dont miss the extra width at all. This thing is very lite weight (maybe 50% lighter than old Eureka) and maneuvers very easily. The way the main handle unit tilts/pivots from the base allows you to make quick sharp turns with ease. There is no height adjustment, but again, dont miss it. It does well on our medium pile carpets, and berber carpets. The switch has 3 positions - off, on with no brush, on with brush. When using on with brush it literally pulls itself (gently) across the carpet. I use the no brush position to clean bare floors, and also area throw rugs. It is amazing how much unseen dog hair it sucks up from carpet. Really easy to empty canister - just two small snaps and it comes off. Another snap on bottom of canister allows bottom to open up / hang and hair and debris falls right out (I do have to sometimes reach my hand up and along inside walls for compacted dog hair). Close the bottom, put it back on handle base, and it snaps back in using the two snaps. There are a few things i dont like : The cord holder near the top of the handle doesnt work very well, any pressure upward from your hand as you move cord around and the cord pops out of holder. I ended up using a small zip tie to hold cord in place at very top of handle. Like many lite weight vacuums, its tough to use the hose and attachments because if you work any distance from the main unit the main unit tips over due to hose and lite weight of main unit. Also, the two included tools (crevice tool and upholstery brush) can get knocked off pretty easily when bumped while they are on the holder as they dont snap in - just a slight press fit on the bottom one. Overall - really like unit for main purpose - vacuuming carpet.

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!

Vacuum has great suction, no doubt. Im a 57 year old woman but in great shape and pretty strong. I have hardwood floors with low pile rugs that I cannot push or pull this vacuum over. This would not work for an older person, even on position one of the switch which I assume is for hard floors. I dont like the fact that you cannot change the position to different rug or carpet styles. I also dont like the cord coming off the back side of the machine and only six inches from the ground. I am constantly running it over, have to stop, pick up the machine to get the cord out from underneath. Frustrating. The onboard tools do not stay or snap into the handle and will fall out during use. The handle is also awkward when trying to clean things overhead with the 180° radius. In short, the canister clean out is nice and the suction is strong but not thrilled with the rest of it. The picture I attached with the rug is the type I can barely push or pull the vacuum no matter the setting. I ended up giving this vacuum to my boyfriend because he said he needed a new one and had a prior model. I stated earlier that I could not push or pull the vacuum on low-pile rugs, especially on humid days. He showed me there is a way to adjust the suction up near the handle. That made all the difference in the world.

Nice and lightweight, love it overall, only thing is the attachments are kind of loose, so sometimes when I’m vacuuming they fall off their stands. Not the end of the world just kind of annoying.

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.
