Shark Ninja NV352 Navigator Lift-Away HEPA Canister Vacuum - Powerful Cleaning for All Types of Floors

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Bought the refurbished version, as our older vacuum also was refurbished and lasted us for 8 years. Truth be told, it started to fall apart and we should have replaced sooner.
1st Pic) Packaging arrived busted but unit inside was in mint condition.
2nd pic) the grossness of a quick pass after I had just vacuumed 2 days prior.

These are awesome units and excited to use the "lift off" feature that our older model did not have.

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...

An avid reader: Who knew amazon refurbished products could be so perfect? We love this vacuum and it works like new. It creates brand new looking carpet despite traffic from our family of 7, and is light weight enough for a 4 year old to use. The hand tools are amazing, though I miss the long attachment from the shark navigator model (the hardwood floor hero attachment). The included one here is just as effective but only about 5 inches long instead of 8 or 9. We all love the lift away feature, it’s so much better than the permanently anchored dust collector. Finally the hepa filter is amazing, and we love that you can wash and reuse the dirt filter which is huge. Wonderful vacuum, we use it daily!

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...

Carol: I chose this vacuum (model nv352 ) after reading consumer reports yearly review for vacuums. It was rated very good/excellent for carpet cleaning and was one of the less expensive priced ones, which is what I needed. It is lightweight and easy to assemble. I put the totally disassembled vacuum together in about 3 minutes without bothering to look at the manual. Everything clicked or went in place intuitively and easily except the plastic piece over the hepa filter. I did manage to get it in place. The vacuum immediately picked up deep dirt from the carpet and on the carpet setting and was easy to push around. It’s great that you can see the dirt being picked up as you vacuum. So far it’s perfect, especially for the sale price.
