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

I was amazed at how much dirt, dust, and hair this picked up from my carpeting! It has really strong suction, and I was also happy with the job it did on hard floors as well. I did keep the brush rollers going on the hard floors because I wasnt worried about any minor marking or scratching of my floors, and I think this helped pick up everything. PRO: Cleans up dirt very well. CON: Not as good as more expensive models. Feels like a cheap, tipsy, toy.

So my previous vacuum was a tiny dirt devil cordless handheld vacuum. It was bad, very bad. It barely could suck things up that were big or small and it was horrible for spot carpet cleaning. I have seborrheic dermatitis - if you dont know what that is, think dandruff, but its on other parts of your face, and the dandruff thats on your head is 10000x worse. My computer chair is on top of a short pile carpet that is 10+ years old. Normally simple vacuums should be able to grab whatevers in the carpet and suck it up, but if youve ever dealt with flakes from seborrheic dermatitis, they look practically INVISIBLE on certain colored carpets, and even on short pile carpets they sink into the bottom layer of the carpet. This is bad because it makes it very difficult to vacuum it up, and over time those flakes disintergrate into tiny dust particles, and guess what that is food for? You betcha, DUST MITES. I would ritualistically vacuum the area around my computer table but I knew I wasnt quite getting to what was the actual problem. At first I was going to get a cheapo $60 Eureka one that I saw online, but then I thought about it - why not just get something thats a little bit more expensive but not Dyson levels of expensive and is just as powerful? Thats where this came in. Assembly was straightforward, instructions were clear. Plastic felt a bit on the brittle side for everything, but that seems to be the general case for most modern products. Hooked everything together, turned on the vacuum and DANG it was strong. I had a hard time pulling the vacuum off the carpet. Fortunately, unlike some of these other reviewers *I read the instructions*. This happens on short pile rugs and carpets - this can be easily remedied by reducing the suction through the suction ring thats near the handle. Counter clockwise for less suction, clockwise for more. You will hear an air leaking sound - THIS IS NORMAL. This is a pretty cheap and easy way for the vacuum to reduce suction - and you dont have to adjust it too far - I would say a 1/6th turn was enough to reduce the suction so I could move it around comfortably without feeling like Im fighting with the vacuum. After I cleaned the area in question - the dust cup was already HALF FULL with dust. And it wasnt the typical dust youd see from the top layer of the carpet - this thing picked up what looked like extremely fine powdered sandy/colored stuff. It was obvious that it was the flakes that have dropped from my head that got pulled into the bottom layer of the carpet. Now Im sure a standard old school canister vacuum could do the same thing and my lack of experience with vacuums is just overplaying my experience, but as you can see from the other reviews here, people who have used other vacuums before can attest to the fact that this thing is *REALLY STRONG*. Bang for buck high power for its price. Also Amazon has a payment plan thing you can use which makes the bite required to buy this hurt less as well. Another thing the manual will warn you about - the vacuum is not stable upright - lean it against the wall or around items that can support just in case it tips over or find some straps to keep it secured against.

This is a first impression review based on features and a first use to vacuum my whole house. Pros: The suction is absolutely amazing. It almost sticks to the floor when vacuuming a low height area rug. The swivel feature is great for reaching under furniture. Its lightweight but still very powerful.[[ The detach feature and the arm are convenient and lightweight. Cons: The upholstery attachment doesnt have a hard attachment to the suction arm. It just sort of wiggles into place but because the suction of the vacuum is so good, the upholstery attachment pops off easily. I had to hold it into place with my free hand as I was vacuuming my couch. That was rather disappointing since vacuuming my couch was a big reason why I bought this vacuum. It accomplishes that goal but is not as easy as I would have hoped. Maybe in time I will figure out a way to do it easier? No other cons, really...

My professional models hose cracked so I replaced my navigator with this. This new one is not as powerful but it does a pretty good job. I should have spent the extra money and got the same model as before because my carpets always looked good. I could change the suction power for my rugs and this new one I cannot. Learn from my mistakes and go professional if you have animals.

Picks up a lot of dirt.

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.

With vacuum cleaners costing five hundred dollars lately we reviewed on YouTube and found this model in top five. We like that it does not swivel at the head. Swivel heads difficult to maneuver. Goes low enough to get under couches and chairs. Works great on carpet and floors. Good overall vacuum cleaner for well under 200$.

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

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

I needed a good vacuum to pick up pet (cat) hair. I have been using a fairly expensive Simplicity vacuum cleaner but I didnt think it was picking up all the pet fur. After reading reviews, I chose this Shark, I am so surprised how great this works. It really does a great job collecting cat fur in my carpets. I highly recommend
