Terrible Vacuum - Impossible to Push on Carpet
My back pain has gotten worse recently, so I bought this vacuum as a lighter-weight alternative to my Powerdetect DuoClean upright. Boy, was that a mistake! It's impossible to push on area rugs or low pile carpet and the angle and force required to maneuver the vacuum actually exacerbated my lower back problems. I have had several Shark vacuum cleaners over the last 12 ...

Oddly the suction is too hard
Felt very cheap snd plastic. It would not even run through my moderately thick carpet. Couldn’t push it and the roller stopped immediately.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Navigator Lift‑Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum didn’t meet your expectations. The unit should feel sturdy in use, and it should be able to move across moderately thick carpet without the brushroll stopping. What you described isn’t the performance we want for our customers.
We’d like to take a closer look at what’s happening and help find the right solution for you. Please reach out to us through our support page so our team can assist you directly:

It’s just ok vacuum
I emailed shark to find out what vacuum actually can handle sweeping underneath furniture, and it is not this one!!
The suction is strong and this is heavier vacuum.
It is just not what I wanted!!

Surprisingly bad!
Awful. Discarding after vacuuming is filthy. The debris somehow gets everywhere the few times I’ve used it. I truly hate this vacuum. I had the shark ninja for a few years and it worked fine. I don’t know why the navigator works like it’s cursed. The refuse tank is just terrible a bad design maybe. I wish I could return this but I never return things so I don’t keep re...

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Having debris scatter everywhere when emptying your Shark vacuum and feeling frustrated with the design of the refuse tank is understandably disappointing. We know how discouraging it can be, especially since you previously owned a Shark vacuum that worked well. Feeling like this model isn’t performing as expected would be frustrating for anyone, and we’re sorry it has caused this much inconvenience. Please know that we appreciate you sharing this honest feedback, and we’ll make sure it’s passed along to the relevant internal teams for review.
In the meantime, we recommend checking out the self‑help guide below for general maintenance tips that may assist with your vacuum:

A powerful cleaner
I have a Golden Retriever who sheds alot. The Shark Navigator is very powerful and removes dog hair totally, no going over a spot repeatedly. I am very pleased with its performance, ease of use, and ease to clean.

Super powerful suction and great clean
Refreshed my carpets and made them super clean and fluffy soft again. It was disgusting to see how much more it could pull up off of what I was assuming were clean carpets based on having used my previous stick vacuum on them. It’s also very lightweight easy to assemble and stores nicely in a closet like most upright vacuums super easy to use.

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...
