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

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.

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.

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

First off, this is a really good vacuum and I would love to have given it 5 stars. The cord length is great. It does stand-up just fine. Pushes nicely over the carpet. Swivels nicely. etc. I had professional floor cleaners come through 4 days ago, and this vacuum still picked up 3 full bins of dog hair and dust. Pros: 1. Great Suction 2. Easy to push around carpet 3. great maneuverability 4. great design the way you can detach the wand and do corners and other hard to reach places quickly and with ease. 5. Long enough cord. 6. If something gets caught in the beater brush, it will turn the brush off automatically, once you pull the shoe lace out, or whatever jammed it, all you have to do is stand the vacuum up fully and then start vacuuming again. 7. It is relatively quiet. 8. Tool holder is pretty handy. 9. Nice hepa filtration. 10. Lift-away technology, so you can easily detach the beater brush and vacuum with just the canister and hose. Though I never really use the much. Its just nice to have :-) Cons: 1. Biggest complaint is the dirt bin. There is a notch that the hair can get caught, which makes it not empty as smoothly as it should. I only had this problem 1 time out of 3 emptys. My old Shark did not have this problem. See picture attached. Circled in red. 2. Its a little heavy for doing stairs (I have a lot of stairs). But its not terribly heavy by any means. 3. Like pretty much every vacuum, managing the cord is a little tricky, you should keep some slack with your pinky or fingers up by the handle, this makes it easier to manage. I also looked at the Bissel Cleanview Swivel. Which is a lot cheaper, and probably about as good, but I have 2 large German Shepherds, and I know what people are complaining about when they says the drive belt starts burning up if something gets stuck in the brush. I have have an older Bissel and had that same exact problems with it. But it still works. I also had an older Bissel that I had to throw out because the belt would fry every time you turned it on. I may get the new Bissel though to keep on a different floor of the house and compare them side-by-side. I also have a Dyson V7 cordless which is good for hardwood floors, tile etc. It does work on stairs and carpet, but nowhere near as good as this Shark (understandably so, the Dyson is just a battery vacuum, and the beater brush spins by air suction, tiny dust bin, totally different type of vacuum). I would recommend the Dyson for quick cleanups though. Take away: This is a great vacuum and has some good features that some of the other vacuums dont. It picks up the hair and dirt very nicely (I have 2 large German Shepherds). Emptying the dirt bin isnt always as smooth and easy as it should be, but I would still recommend it.

Let’s just say I haven’t used another vacuum since purchasing this one. My German shepherd sheds a lot during the change of seasons and this vacuum gets it all up every time without missing. Buy this if you have fur babies! You will not regret it!

This little vacuum is awesome! So lightweight and easy to maneuver. It picks up all the dog hair! So satisfying to see how much it picks up every time!

I love that its probably cleaning deeply. It sucks so hard and doesnt have power steering. Its extremely hard to maneuver even on short pile carpet. I will probably return because of how hard it is to use.

We have older carpet in our apartment and this sucker pulled the nap right up. Incredible! Not to mention the dust and hair it collect. Great value of the money! Vacuuming is actually kind of fun fighting those dust demons!

First of all, I am reviewing the Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright of my own accord, not for any incentives. Just a good old fashioned, honest review. We have had many vacuums over the years, from Bissell, Hoover, Eureka and yes, even the over-priced, over-hyped Dyson (which was a huge disappointment and lasted 2 years before the ball didnt rotate and lost suction). I initially ordered another Eureka, thinking that the vacuum industry has gone downhill, and we are forced to buy the cheap plastic machines that last 2 years then need to buy another. I tried the Eureka and it was absolutely horrid - returned and began another search. I called a friend of mine who recommended the Shark. I bought this one, the NV360. It arrived in 3 days and I tried it immediately. Long story short, my Daughter and I were fighting over who was going to vacuum the next room in the house! LOL!!! The oriental rugs were changing back to their bright colors, the carpet was standing up again, leaving vacuum trails, we had to empty the container 5 times due to the amount of gunk this beautiful machine was collecting that had not been cleaned up from our last vacuum!!! It was a beautiful moment! If you have been in the same situation, thinking there is no more awesome vacuums left in this world, never fear! BUY THIS THING NOW!!!! :) You will thank me later!

I’ve owned kirby’s and dyson’s and this budget saving Shark vacuum has far stronger suction than the expensive counterparts. From this day forward I will stick with shark for my vacuum needs.
