Shark NV360 review why is it so popular
The Shark NV360 has been rated as one of the modern vacuum cleaners that have revolutionized the vacuum cleaning industry. With its fair price, small weight and powerful construction, it remained the most popular even years after its first release. We all love our homes clean and spotless, but how clean can it possibly get is the problem. To achieve maximum satisfaction, you need a vacuum cleaner that is not only powerful, but is also delicately designed as to wipe even the hardest-to-reach areas spotless. If you’re curious why the model is so popular, is it worth the money or suitable for you, stay tuned for a concrete breakdown of the functionalities of this little blue shark vacuum.
Deluxe Lift-Away
As the name suggests, the lift-away feature is indeed deluxe. Instead of having to lift the whole machine up and carry it around, simply detach the dust cup and bring it with you. The buttons are on the side of the motor. Simply press them to release the dust cup.
With the cleaning hose attached, you can reach into any areas - under the bed, behind TVs, in little corners between the wall and the closet. This feature is so popular that Shark releases two other models - the Shark NV352 and the Shark 365e Professional - having the same feature to expand the variety for users.

Upright Vacuum
The Shark Navigator NV360 is an upright model. This means that the handle is long and sturdy, allowing you to clean while standing upright. Without a doubt, this comes as a major benefit for people with back problems as they don’t have to bend down for a long time. To be fair, it isn’t a really nice feeling in general bending one’s back for a long time. Small Weight
Being one of the most lightweight models, the Shark NV360 weighs at only 13 pounds in total. If you’re going to use the lift-way feature, the machine will become even lighter - at only 7.5 pounds. Remember that nearly the entirety of the machine is made of plastic, which is light and easy to lift with one hand. The plastic, though light, is solidly constructed so that it doesn’t compromise quality. Yet, one thing that can be considered a minus point for the small weight is that the vacuum easily loses balance and tips over if you pull it somewhat forcefully.
Motor power
The motor power of the shark navigator lift away deluxe nv360 upright vacuum is 1200 watts - quite powerful despite its small weight. With such power, the vacuum can sweep away large and small debris, though it excels at cleaning carpets instead of bare floors. What you need to be mindful of, though, is the motion of the brush, which will be discussed in more detail.
Brush motion
There are two types of cleaning motion on the NV360: Brush Roll and Barefloor. The roll should be turned on while cleaning carpets and rugs. The Shark NV360 is famous for efficiently removing pet hair from carpets, furniture, and other delicate surfaces. This is thanks to the rotation of the brush that picks up these tiny strands of hair. What you need to do, though, is remove the dirt particles, including pet hair, after cleaning. Blockades might hinder the efficiency of the vacuum.
The Barefloor mode is used for, well, bare floors. The difference between the two modes is that the brush does not spin for bare floors, creating a full suction directly from the surface. One thing to remember when cleaning with the NV360 is that it might be hard to push or swivel. This is because the suction could be too powerful that it sticks to the floor and won’t agree to move. To overcome this problem, release the suction power in the collar of the handle. Turn the collar clockwise to open the valve, thereby releasing pressure. Turn the collar counter-clockwise to close the valve, thereby increasing pressure.
Tools
In terms of tools, the shark navigator lift away deluxe bagless upright vacuum comes with two tools - a crevice tool and an upholstery tool. It also comes with a tool holder. Simply stick the tools onto the holder, then stick them on the handle. This way, you can lower the chance of losing them, as these little guys can easily run away from sight.
Power suction
At 1200 watts, the NV360 scores pretty high on tests picking large and small debris on different types of surface. With the exception of the fruit-loop cereals, which are chunkier than usual, the NV360 was able to suck up the particles entirely and completely. For bigger particles, you can always clean without the tools-- simply use the cleaning wand itself. The same is true when testing out the crevice tool, which can almost entirely wipe out the dirt stuck in little crevices.
However, when compared with the NV352 - another lift-away model, the Shark navigator lift away dlx vacuum cleaner scored somewhat lower, if only marginally, because of the lower suction and the lower control over airflow. As a result, compared to its counterpart, Shark 360 is less capable at carrying out carpet deep clean. Yet, this better performance is paid for by a slightly higher price of the NV352, so make sure you’re ready for the trade-off before buying either of the two.
HEPA filter
The Shark NV360 receives many praises for the advanced post-motor filter, or HEPA filter. The filter has the capacity to block harmful particles in the dust from being released into the air. This is especially beneficial for people with allergies and have weak lungs, but it protects our health in general by preventing us from inhaling harmful particles. For many vacuum cleaner experts, the fact that a machine at such a fair price having this kind of filter is rather surprising, because you’ll only find such features in higher ends. Indeed, the Shark 360 does seem to have revolutionized the vacuum world by altering users’ standards and expectations.
To preserve the quality of the HEPA filter, Shark recommends cleaning it every two year or as needed. Simply run the filter under water until it is free of all dirt, or until the water is clear, then let them out for air dry. It is best to clean by hand as placing them in dishwashers might damage their exterior design.

Dust cup capacity
The dust cup of this machine is 12 dry quarts. Like the filter, the dust cup also needs regular maintenance for the sake of the vacuum cleaner itself. Empty the dust cup after every use. If the dust cup is full, this might stop the machine from turning on.
Warranty
The Shark NV360 comes with an impressive 5-year warranty. As users around the world have shared, they’ve had amazing experiences with Shark’s pleasing customer service. Whenever you need a replacement for one of the parts for reasons of losses or brokerage, simply ring them up, report the problem, and - depending on your location - replacements should be shipped (or mailed) to you at your front door.
