Really good vacuum!
This vacuum works really well! I use it on carpet and on our hard floors. It’s easy to clean afterwards and place back on. It can also detach from the top for hard to reach areas! It is a bit heavy but still easy to move around.

Leaves floor clean
Love this vacuum! The suction is powerful and it picks up dirt and pet hair easily. The Lift-Away feature is super convenient for stairs and furniture, and it’s easy to maneuver around the house. It leaves my floors feeling really clean without being too heavy to use

Works well, but messy canister design
Great suction but not great for pet hair. This is my second Shark upright vacuum. I bough the lift-away since my new house has carpeted stairs. I like the navigation of the vacuum but the canister is messier than my older version. I always end up with dust on me when I empty the canister. And, hair from pets (and me?) gets trapped in the thinner section of the canister...

Response from Staples :
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience. Great suction is definitely a win, but dealing with pet hair that gets trapped in narrow canister areas and ending up with dust on your hands during emptying can take away from the overall experience. Navigating stairs with the lift‑away feature is a big advantage, so it’s understandable that the canister cleanup feels like a step backward by comparison. Your feedback on pet‑hair performance and canister design is incredibly valuable. Insights like yours help highlight where improvements can make a real difference, and this will be shared with the team for review. Kind Regards, Shark Clean US.

Awesome vacuum!
I love this vacuum. It has amazing suction. It is also light enough for me to carry when needed. It comes with attachments to do all the cleaning I need to do. I like that the wand and hose can detach for different cleaning I need to do and places I need to reach. This vaccuum lasts for years!

Hepa filter and attachments are helpful.As long as you clean it the suction should stay strong. Recommend using water in the plastic portion before dumping it out so the dust doesn’t become airborne.

New Owner
I purchased the NV360 because my carpet was beginning to lay flat in the high traffic areas. I was looking for a Vacuum that would lift the carpet up. I also have a Riccar Supra-Lite that I was using and I'd have to go over these areas many times to get the carpet up. The 960 did a much better job and the carpet looks like new again. Two things that you could improve on...

Motor breaks at 2 years & can't be fixed!
They don't last! Purchased 2 Navigator vacuums and the motor in both died at 2 years. Will never buy another Shark.
And they use proprietary parts so can't be fixed!!! Scam!

Gets the job done, but a misery to use. Suppose that’s better than the alternative, but just so.

Why isn't there storage for both provided accessories? Bad design . Older Shark Vacuums have a place for two!

Ok, but could be better
I've had a Navigator NV360 for a few years now. It's a decent product, but there are a few annoying shortcomings:
1. It doesn't come with a simple brush accessory. I think that earlier models had this. Makes upholstery cleaning less effective/efficient than it could be.
2. The accessories often slip off the accessory holder, and they often slip off the tube while I'm us...

Long Lifetime
I really appreciate this vacuum. The one I own is 8 years old and works as well as when I first bought it. I'm trying to find a replacement canister to prevent having to buy a new one. Other than that I have no complaints, and would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great vacuum.
