Shark Ninja NV352 Lift-Away Canister Vacuum with HEPA Filter for Allergy Sufferers

Emily E. Weisenburger: I have a dirty house. I have 3 dogs and a yard that I tend to. I have chickens, so I wear outdoor shoes and try to kick them off when I come in, though sometimes I don't if I am just heading for the garage. I ordered the Shark NV352 after reading some reviews online.
First of all, it was easy to assemble. It is indeed light weight and should work well enough on my stairs with the handheld component. It may be able to be disassembled to be even lighter for stair work. I do not have hardwood floors, but I do have some linoleum and this machine will move easily from bare floor to carpet.
Second, the suction at this point is great. I did purchase some extra filters because letting filters dry always throws me off my game. I want to get the job done, but like I said, I have a dirty house and sometimes there is just too much dirt to be able to work properly. The other side of excellent suction is the fact that this baby is not self propelled, so it requires a bit more arm strength to push it along the floor. My carpet is cleaner and I got an arm work out.
The head is smaller, so it requires more passes. This is not a big deal to me, but it is worth noting. It pivots easily, so...

D. AllenD. Allen: I am an inventor with many patents. Quite impressed with this design. The screen never gets clogged, they creating a centrifuge that throws even lint away from the screen in center (intake/suction) and it drops it to bottom. First vacuum have ever seen that does not clog. Simple and brilliant, no moving parts.

I asked question about wand not being long enough, the reason was the curtain cleaner works well on wood floors but is angled such that I at 6'-1" have to bend over to get it flat. I then came up with what is in the pic, took old bagged Oreck attachments, 3 wraps of duct tape to shim it up to right diameter, then used angle grinder to notch it for "catcher" hook like the Shark uses and inserted it. Works like a charm as the Oreck swivels so vacuum head can be flat at any angle. BTW the Shark system on snapping various parts of wand, hose , etc together is very nice and solid.

Best vac have ever used. Compared to Hoover Wind Tunnel no comparison, lighter, quieter, more suction and does not clog.

And on the cord being low and tripping people as mentioned here a lot. Easy solution. As you see in photo have a simple loop in cord that matches the top cord...

Amazon Customer: My vacuum arrived today and I am pretty happy with it. It was certified refurbished and it appears to have all the parts and instructions. It wasn't in an original box and it had a couple of scratches on the lower section but otherwise in nearly new shape. I tried it with the roller on carpet and with the hose on bare floor. It has nice strong suction either way. In fact, the instructions tell you to adjust it for lower suction for use with the hose and attachments, which I did.

The biggest pros are the power and suction for the size and price, and that is isn't too loud for its size and power (I've had 2 Bissels that were louder and didn't clean as well). The suction was almost as good as my old Kenmore canister vacuum that was 3 times the price. There are a few minor downsides. The place where the hose detaches from the body of the vacuum is a little awkward and mine slipped apart a couple of times when I was using it as an upright until I made sure it was firmly connected; then it was fine. The on/off switch is not is the most convenient place. The old Kenmore had the switch right in the handle and that was very convenient. A few other uprights I have used had the switch...
