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)

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.

I'm very happy with this Hoover Carpet cleaner. It's lightweight, you can carry it easily. It's easy to use, fill up the water reservoir and add the soap to the water, there's a line on the jug so you know how much to use. I used Rocco & Roxie soap since it has a zillion 5 stars reviews. I was surprised how well it worked. I was worried about smell but after an hour, it smelled like a dry cleaned shirt, maybe like starch. The next day, there is zero smell. The carpet cleaner has brushy-gripy rollers that pull out pet hair in the carpet and brings the carpet back to life, the fibers popped back up like new carpet. The machine was easy to clean out. The front clear piece opens up, turn the rollers and a load of pet hair comes right off, kind of like dryer lint but it was wet. I'm very happy with the carpet cleaner and with Rocco & Roxie original stain & odor eliminator. Oh! Best thing ...the carpet isn't crunchy, it's soft!

I agree with some of the reviews about it pushes hard on even my lower barber carpet! I used my old rotating attachment for furniture with it and it fit so I couldn't believe how much dirt I got out of our carpet going up the stairs! It does have great section power. It's a little more primitive than my past shark but I also purchased the refurbished and it was over $100 cheaper. I'm still deciding whether it's worth the money to step up or if I'll return it and get the more expensive one. As far as the vacuum suction goes, it's pretty great but it's been a while since I haven't had a self-propelled vacuum.

this is my first vacuum purchase. my new apartment came with entire carpeted floors which isn't great. BUT! this vacuum is a godsend! wow! suction power is amazing, this pulled so much dust and pet hair from the carpet. so amazing! note, I did try it on a little rug/bathmat type thing and it seemed not great, way too much suction even after adjusting the setting so maybe not ideal for area rugs. but if u have carpet, you will.be very pleased with this purchase! the cord as some have said isn't super long but was more than enough for my apt (under 700 square feet). just plugged it into a different outlet for the bedroom, no biggie. I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with this purchase. also, I did buy refurbished. no issues. less cost. worth it!

I am so glad I got this vacuum instead of one of the other Sharks. I had one similar to this one and I was looking for the same type. I hate having to use bags to hold the dirt. I like to just release a button and it goes into the garbage. I like that it comes apart and is hand to use as a canister or upright. I used it on my car this morning and would not be able to use one of the new fangled ones. I was able to leave the canister on the ground and move the wand easily to get in the crevices. I used the wand to get in the small areas and one of the attachments to make large swaths to get the mess cleaned up. It is great in the house also. Here again I can take it apart and clean any area I want.Granted it comes with a cord, but I know it is always ready to go.One downfall I found is my old one had a light on it. I miss the light.
