Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Powerful Suction Vacuum for Hardwood Floor, Carpet, Muti-Surface Spotless Cleaning with Large Dust Cup Capacity, Swivel Steering, Blue (Renewed)

This vacuum is amazing. It has enough suction to catch everything in a single pass. It is a bit heavy, but the light vacs I have tried just didn’t seem to clean well. The Lift-Away feature is very nice. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Parts were missing from the box and it was a bit more beat up then "used, like new". I do very much like the functionality of this vacuum and the seller made it right with a partial refund on the missing parts. I was able to take the money I saved and buy the missing parts at no additional cost to me. In the end it was much less then a brand new vacuum. The suction is very good, and the better bar clears my cat's hair out of the rug much better the the hoover I got specifically for pet hair, go figure. I am very fastidious about keeping the filters clean and dumping the canister and this machine is as good as any in that regard. All the elements are cleanable except the hepa exhaust filter but I have an air compressor so I just blow it out. I have hear that the beater bar motor is separate from the vac motor and there is no belt to replace. That is good and bad. It's good because the beater bar doesn't steal power from the blower. It also makes it possible to turn off for hardwood floors. It's bad because it it burns up it has to be replaced and that is not easy or cheap. If you stay on it and keep it clean and free of tanglers then you may may never need to get it fixed. Still would be nice to service it yourself should the need arise. It is a bit on the heavy side but the versatility of the lift-away feature mitigates that. I have found it makes vacuuming stairs easier for example. Honestly I remember when shark was an infomercial brand and thought of it as below standard. If that was true then I don't know but today I can say I am over my bias. Frankly I wish I had gotten past it sooner. Before I bought the hoover would have been nice. But that's how bias quietly works against you I guess.

Other than being a little on the heavy side, this vacuum is like the Superman of vacuums! I had had a vacuum but it was terrible at vacuuming carpets. My two bedroom apartment is all hardwood floors with the exception of the bathroom being tile and the bedrooms having carpets. I have a huge rug in my living room. I have 3 cats and a long haired chihuahua so I was always on my hands and knees using a hair roller thing to get the animal hair off the living room rug after vacuuming it with my old vacuum and same with the bedrooms. I knew I needed to buy a vacuum that could vacuum all three of my different floorings in my apartment. I spent an entire year researching and finally decided on this Shark. I am not disappointed. It feels a bit heavy to me but I think that is because I’m so used to vacuuming with my other, super light vacuum all this time and I’m just not used to it. I just have to tell you that the first time I vacuumed my place, I did ALL the floors of the entire place, including the living room rug, both bedroom carpets, EVERYTHING and when I tell you, I’m not lying, I was DISGUSTED (and it’s SO embarrassing to admit this) to see that the ENTIRE container that catches everything the vacuum sucks up COMPLETELY FILLED ALL THE WAY UP to the very top!!! In just that ONE, very first vacuum! THATS how much my old vacuum was leaving behind! THIS one gets EVERYTHING! It’s BRILLIANT! I couldn’t believe all that hair and dirt had been on my floors that entire time. 🤢 NEVER AGAIN! I worship this vacuum. It’s so easy to unlatch the container and dump out all the junk into your garbage can. Highly recommended!

My old faithful Kenmore finally died and I am so glad it did. Ordered the Shark. By the price I was not really expecting much but the reviews won me over. First pass on three rugs, (2) 8 X 5, and (1) 10 X 12. 2.5 empties of dust and cat hair! I was so embarrassed. Give it a try, you will be glad your old vacuum died😍

It works really well but I thought it would not be as hard to push as it is. The suction on this thing is crazy good and I think that’s why it is so hard to push through her thick carpet. It sucked 12 cups of dirt for the 3 times I vacuumed! Her house definitely smells clean now . Great value for the money! No it didn’t come with the attachment holder but whatever..Very easy to use the lift away part for her stairs.

I have a Hoover self-propelled upright vac that's bullet proof and built like an Army tank. It does a great job on all kinds of floors, but it's heavy. As my wife and I get older, we find it difficult to carry the Hoover 'heavy weight' up and down stairs. I thought we'd keep the Hoover on one floor and get a second vac for the other. I reviewed information about upright vacs in Consumer Reports and picked out the one that was rated high for both hard floors and carpets. I received the 'reconditioned' Shark Navigator a few days ago and tested it today. There are pros and cons. One part, the 'accessories holder' was missing. We checked and double checked the packing material, but it was not to be found. Assembly instructions were not included. The Warranty sheet for reconditioned products sent me to the 'reconditioned' website. I wanted to print a copy, but one page of the assembly instructions would not print properly. I ran an open search on the internet with the brand and model and found the instructions I needed at the Shark website. The file printed properly with wording big enough to read without a magnifying glass. After assembling the machine without the accessories holder, I plugged it in and turned it on. A big 'plug' of dirt landed in the cannister. It had been in there for a while because the 'plug' was in the shape of the inside of the hose. The person who 'reconditioned' the machine didn't check for dirt plugs in the hose. The machine sucks like crazy! If dirt is loose, it'll be sucked into the machine. It worked great on hard floors and thin or low pile carpeting. We have two rooms with deep pile carpets, and this is where the old Hoover self-propelled really shines. It took lots of effort to push and drag the Shark through deep carpet. I have arthritis in my wrists so that wasn't working. It sucked up dirt just fine, though. The other thing most folks won't like is that the Shark leaves tracks and grooves in thick carpet. It makes carpet look like it was used as a drag strip! Someone had put deodorizer/fragrance in the machine. It was strong and stunk up the entire room with an awful smell. I hate deodorizes. They smell worse than the odors they try to cover up. Couple that with a design that blows exhaust in your face and it's disgusting. The air exhaust is louvered upwards to direct the air flow away from the floor. With the handle angled down in a normal vacuuming position, the air blows into the operator's face! I wonder if the people who designed the machine actually tried using it. I'll try washing the filters to get the odor out. I suggest users take the machine outside before emptying the canister the first time. I accidentally hit the button that opens the trap door as I was pulling the canister free. It dumped the dirt on the machine and floor. I had to use my DeWalt handvac to clean up the mess. Hoover doesn't make a self-propelled vac anymore. Maybe I should have applied the money I spent on the Shark on a used self-propelled unit, instead. Whether I send the Shark back will depend on if I can get that awful odor out of it.

Excellent vacuum. Long cord length Wouldn’t even know it was refurbished

Bought as gift. The motor or whatever controls the suction is so strong it will literally inhale/eat/shred a rug, and can lift carpet !!! So I tried it on my big area rug and it literally sucked the rug up, and tore the rug away from the outer hem that it is sewed to. Needless to say my DIL wants nothing to do with it and bought a Dyson. Also, the two accessories came without the ring that holds them that attaches to the vacuum. I own a similar shark, that's why I bought her one, and mine does not act like a tasmanian devil !!!!. Been busy with life so this review is late I know. (I'm planning on taking it to a vacuum shop to try to rehabilitate it)
