Below is our detailed review of the
Shark navigator lift-away deluxe NV360 upright vacuum.
DesignBuild qualityThe material that makes up most of the
Shark NV360 is hard plastic. The only exception is its metal wand. Therefore, the Shark vacuum doesn%u2019t look very robust, especially the thin clear plastic dirt compartment.
However, it%u2019s easy to disassemble and reassemble the vacuum.
RangeThe range feature is not a strong point of
Shark navigator lift-away NV360. Despite a quite long
power cord (25 ft), its vacuum hose is short (4.07 ft). The hose length can make it difficult for you to clean a car.
User maintenanceThe
Shark navigator lift-away DLX vacuum cleaner doesn%u2019t need regular maintenance. The part that needs the most frequent cleaning is the dirt compartment. Shark recommends you empty this part after each use.
With lukewarm water, you should premotor filters and the
HEPA filter every three months and two years, respectively.
Since it%u2019s hard to access the brush roll, it%u2019s quite tricky to clean this part. After removing the vacuum head from its body, you can use scissors or hands to remove hair or other debris stuck to the brush roll.
Useful Link: Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe NV360 PerformanceBare floorsShark navigator lift-away NV360 performs decently on bare floors such as hardwood, laminate, and tiles. It%u2019s able to easily clean small debris but has some troubles collecting pet hair.The Shark vacuum cleaner also struggles with large debris such as cereal because its head tends to go over them instead of sucking them in.
Carpeted floorsThe
Shark navigator lift-away deluxe NV360 upright vacuum shows excellent performance regarding picking up
pet hair and debris on both high-pile and low-pile carpets.
However, you may need to repeat the movement over the same area a couple of times to clean the mess completely.
ManeuverabilityIt isn%u2019t really
easy to maneuver with the
Shark navigator lift-away deluxe NV360 upright vacuum. Even though the rotating head can facilitate the navigation around the room, the vacuum cleaner%u2019s body is quite large, making it difficult to clean tight areas.
To reach those areas, you can use its handheld configuration, which is inconvenient. However, this configuration works well to clean your furniture.
Our verdictShark NV360 review shows that the
upright vacuum cleaner is worth buying, especially if you have carpeted floors.
Despite its bulky design, you can easily assemble the vacuum and clean almost all big messes with its quite large dirt compartment. In addition, the handheld configuration allows the
Shark navigator NV360 to reach tighter spaces.
Also, as long as you maintain certain parts like the dirt compartment, the premotor filters, and the
HEPA filter regularly, there will be no recurring costs. So, it will save you a lot of money in the long run.
