I never knew that listening about something of a vacuum cleaner that is 10 years old could be that interesting
Same
Ya, we're they life of the party
Y en inglés estoy bien entretenida y soy y estoy en mexico
I remember my mother-in-law got me this vacuum after the one I had (and hated with a passion) wasn't cutting it anymore. I couldn't believe how light it was. And when I turned it on it was so quiet! I loved it right away and looked forward to vacuuming every day. Even my kids loved vacuuming with this vacuum. All these years later, my oldest daughter still has it in her house and it's running strong.
I never thought I would be so entertained by vacuum reviews. I have two shark products now because of your positive reviews. Thank you for providing quality content to those who do their research!
Get rid of them a Bissell is better
EvanJS2005 Oh really? Can you back up your opinion in any way, either by using proof from a test you’ve performed and/or reviewed, or by having any side-to-side comparisons of one model from each brand? By the way, which particular model of Bissell brand vacuum cleaner are you referring to when you make this claim, seeing as how there are currently over 52 models of Bissell vacuums/washers in production?
@@UnregisteredSkeptic I like Dyson vacuums better (I have the v11 outsize) and it works great! The main reason why I like it so much is because of all the technology (dls for switching from carpet to hard floor) and the LCD screen that displays that different power modes and how much battery time you have left, and it changes whether you are on carpet/hardfloor, boost, eco, auto, and what attachment your using.
Polaverse any vacuum is better cause at least they have a decent cyclone shark claims that they cleaned better than Dyson and iRobot and they got sued for faking test don’t believe everything you see on a ad let’s not be stupid
Sorry to be so late- but I'm glad to have helped. Thank you for watching.
I had to return simply to let you know this: After watching this video and a couple other of your videos I DID go out and buy one of these vacuums and I absolutely LOVE it. We bought the Navigator Lift Away NV352. Not only does it have incredible suction (floor and carpet) but it really is nicely maneuverable, and great value for money spent. My last two vacuums were Dyson. This Sharp Navigator is hands-down far better with suction compared to the Dyson. The first use, I began in the bedroom -- after only a few minutes on the carpet, we could hardly believe the enormous amount of dust, dirt, dog danger that filled in the canister! That shows how much the Dyson had been missing. Anyway, we've been using it regularly since the first use and love so much about it that I actually enjoy vacuuming. Had I not seen your videos, I would have gone a different direction. I'm so relieved I watched your videos.
That is great to hear! Thank you!
I bought this vacuum about a week ago after diving deep into the internet looking for the best budget vacuum. I was going to go for something cheaper but your video about the importance of a good filtration system convinced me to spend a little more money (I'm pretty frugal so this is my first non hand-me down vacuum) Honestly it's the best vacuum I've ever used, mine or otherwise. and my sister used to have a fancy dyson. Plus idk, the purple is pretty cool, right? I like it.
you just described my story too.
I was 15 when this came out and my parents got one. I thought it was so cool how it felt and sounded different than the older vacuums, more like an electronic than a mechanical noise and how the brush engaged and disengaged. 11 years later I bought my first vacuum and it is this one. It is great.
this comment convinced me to get one lol
I have that shark Navigator lift away, Still runs perfectly, I bought it like 9 years ago.
Jose Olalde it’s going to die soon
@@EvanJS2005 Not really, still strong. If you clean the filter and replace the Hepa filter you will be fine. This shark lasted more than My old Bissell Lift off
@@EvanJS2005 touch wood, when u love ur vacuums, they become part of ur family :p
@@EvanJS2005 why would it?
Alex R because they don’t last you may think they do you may get a lucky one but they are made to be thrown out unlike a Miele Dyson sebo Riccar it’s basically a Bissell but worse
That's my vacuum! Your review matches my experience.
This is our cleaning company’s vacuum and it is FANTASTIC. It’s a few years old and we have clients who are blown away by the way this vacuum performs. Very very easy to clean and not cross contaminate a house and I have yet to find a better vacuum to replace this one.
Great to hear!
I just bought this vacuum today and I am so excited to use it. I looked up reviews before buying but this video and the comments about how good it is have made me feel even better about my purchase. I got it for 30 dollars less than it usually goes for which is another plus. Anyway thanks for the great video!
I think that we have this machine at our house. We’ve had it for, I think, around 7-9 years. Something like that. I don’t remember exactly when we got it, but let’s just say it was a long time ago. There’s tape on the bottom of the powerhead because the cover won’t stay on otherwise, the lower cord hook broke off earlier this year, and the cord got absolutely chewed up by the brush roll, but we put electrical tape on it. The thing still works.
YES THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VID. I'VE BEEN WAITING
I haven’t
Have been watching your videos since 2018. They are amazing.
This is one of the most helpful reviews for any product I've ever come across. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. Many years ago I bought a Shark vacuum and it was so bad we left it on the curb within the week. All this time I equated Shark with complete JUNK. But this month I found myself in the market for a small upright and this video caught my eye. (I was already a subscriber.) I wish I could say I bought this vacuum through your affiliate link, but I was in a hurry so bought it in a Manhattan home goods store and WOW! I am SO impressed. My only complaint would be its shorter hose and tendency to tip over, but it is a small price to pay for the small footprint. I love it. Thank you again for the work that you do.
After watching this video, I bought the lavender NV352. It really is as wonderful as you say. My three other vacs are now gathering dust in the garage.
I'm so glad you are happy with it!
well your vacuums are working as intended if they are gathering dust.
Thank god for this video. After endless video watching and model comparisons, my search is now over. Thanks for pointing out being able to turn off the roller brush.
I still have my professional lift away and it’s been 9 years I think now. I love the hard floor head that has the microfiber dust catch pad. It is heaven. I also have a corded shark stick that I love but I find I love the lift away for vacuuming corners and using rotator head for furniture. I also have a fusion v7 cordless I use daily and my moms 80s rainbow for monster vacuuming. Yes I have 4 vacuums. And I continually go back to the lift away for weekly deep cleans.
I have had my shark navigator professional for over 10 years. It has always worked great. I took it over to my dad's to use on his old dusty house and it stopped working. I didn't take the time to troubleshoot and set it aside. Meanwhile, I bought a new vacuum for my house...the quantum x. Well that brand sux and not in a good way. 😕. Anyhoo...I needed to do some deep cleaning at my dad's and decided to wash the filters in the shark. Lo and behold the old shark worked better than ever! Like new! I ran it for three hours straight. It performed like a Rock star. In 10 plus years, my shark has handled fur, fine dirt, traffic, two houses, banged around, transport...now there's some duct tape holding one part in place but I'm lazy when it comes to fixing things...it's the best investment I've ever made. Now...let's talk about the Quantum X. What I liked...water filtration in an upright. What I don't like: it's heavy, dirt turns to mud/sludge buildup that you have to clean out and may take hours, an odor will build up if you don't. It doesn't pick up dirt like you think it does. I avoid my stairs. PERIOD! I bought the qx and ran it in my house from Oct 2020 to April 2020. Had my carpet professionally cleaned in April. I vacuumed my carpet the night before...the guy showed up with his shark and filled up his container. I was embarrassed and irritated. I wrote a review on their website, they replied by insulting me. Saying it was years of dirt build up in my house rather than taking responsibility for a cruddy product. So there it is. I don't work for shark. I just buy a lot of vacuums. I've had three sharks. The power head, stick and the navigator. All worked great. I burned out the power head and the stick in 5 years. I've had hoovers, great but loud and I didn't get 5 years out of them.
Nice work! You guys crush these reviews, love the scientific approach. I bought this shark 6yrs ago because I heard it was good, I had no idea! Haha
I can confirm my Navigator is bullet proof. I have cleaned my house and my commercial building that has lots of foot traffic daily for 10 years with this vacuum and it's still running like knew. There was one instance when my navigator 9 years in was making a hissing noise from the side ports just below the canister and I thought that the vacuum is now shot. Turns out that the hose had a huge clog halfway in the middle and once I cleaned the clog it worked like new. Amazing Machine. FYI me cleaning the filter and brush roll was the only really maintenance I did to this vacuum and it ran like a horse.
Your videos always make me want vacuums I never cared about! 🤣
Ik right
Thanks for helping us make our final decision on what vacuum to buy! We'll be ordering this model.
Happy to help!
Just ordered this thank you for your hard work!!
Been agonizing over which new vacuum to get, but you've just convinced me with all this great data and experience. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Been watching all the shark reviews and what I appreciate the most is the allergy system they have. As someone who has 3 pets in their home that built in feature is so crucial and important to me and something I will from now on consider a MUST when it comes to vacuums. Been on the fence of getting this one or biting the bullet and get the vertex but whichever one I choose, coming from a. Dirt devil user I think for my first shark vacuum won’t leave me disappointed.
Vertex is a little worse at deep cleaning but is better than about evry vacuum without duo clean and it dose well on crevis pickup testing and you know about the navagater now so your choice.
They’re also quiet!! Most uprights at this price point if not all except the sharks are so ear piercingly loud!
you've done it again, algorithm
I just recently bought 1. It doesn't disappoint.
Thank you for the informative video.
great review . thank you!
I just bought this vacuum and found this video very helpful.
I've had 2 NV355c's for 8yrs now and love them. The hose on one finally broke a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe that I could get a brand new hose directly from Shark for $30cdn and shipped from a Canadian warehouse. Fyi it's $30usd as well so Canadians are getting a bargain.
I love this vacuum. My first one the bottom hose eventually cracked due to bending the vacuum to reach under areas hence on my second shark navagator. Still well worth it this baby literally picks up all the hair, dust, and evey spec on can imagine of whatever thats on the floor. Also mine came with a sticker of a puppy ( showing that it does well picking up doggy fur too) hehe...on the canister and I refuse to peel it off its very cute AND still on there after going through many hand washes with soap! Should one of its limbs gets damaged or broken again, i will most likely buy another one and another one for as long as this baby is available. Thank you Shark Navagator for lifting away all my dust!!!
Thanks. I'm buying.
Hope you enjoy it!
the best Vacuum reviews on this channel bar none.
Thank you!
Ive had this vacuum cleaner for a couple of years. I aint gonna lie, for whatever reason I dont like vacuuming, so sometimes I let it go longer than I should. My Shark makes me happy. It sucks all that dust in the carpet right up without any problem, and its easy to push around and dang, it just does a real good job.
That’s good to hear. Thanks for sharing.
Have had the Pro for 6ish years and it's a beast.
May have missed it, but dog hair wrap? Does it prevent that from happening or do you manually remove after each use?
I still have mine.
It's still works.
I've had my Shark Navigator Lift Away NV351C for around 7 years. Still works like new; absolutely no problems! All filters are completely washable. The only thing I wish, is if it had an option to plug in a Li-Ion battery pack to take it outside & vacuum my car. The Shark Navigator Lift Away NV351C only needs a battery pack to make it portable; it does not need any other design changes!!!
I bought this vacuum cleaner, the nv352, from Bed, Bath and Beyond when it was on sale and also used their 20% off coupon which reduced my price to $119.99 before tax. I received free shipping too because the amount was over the minimum dollar amount to ship free. I love this vacuum cleaner. I bought it for my son’s apartment and tried it out. It worked great on the carpets and floors. It did well on the stairs too. I used both the full vacuum cleaner on them and also too the bottom off and used the wide brush that didn’t spin. It was a little difficult to used the whole vacuum cleaner in one piece on the steps. But, I don’t think it was meant for steps anyway. I think that I will buy my son the spinning pet brush attachment at some point for him so it can beat the dirt out the same as the regular spinning brush does on the carpets. I did have to empty the dirt quite a few times, but my son hadn’t vacuumed his apartment since moved in four months ago. He didn’t have a vacuum cleaner before this one. I am thinking about buying one for us too even though we have a Miele vacuum cleaner. It’s annoying using those attachments on that vacuum cleaner and was a lot more expensive.
Love mine!!!!
That is great to hear! Thanks!
I bought this vacuum last week after watching this video because one of its versions was on sale at Walmart. It is my first “real” vacuum. It sucks and it sucks and it sucks. I love it.
Wow, that’s a lot to like!
I remember seeing the infomercial for the thing, so nostalgic 😅
this one? czcams.com/video/rISYdwuV_3U/video.html
I knoww right 😂
@@mochabean99 Exactly
i laughed so hard at 0:32 “it’s a very rare quality for vacuums to have…” *INTENSE DUST STORM*
i use it on my carpet and tineco a11 on my hardwood. they both are great so far
amazing work man!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!
@@VacuumWars You're so welcome! I love your channel! I actually just returned my Bissell Cleanview Green 2252, because of you, and bought this vacuum instead! Thanks! The air pollution was unacceptable, so thanks for the HEPA tips!!!!
Everyone that I know that has this vacuum or a similar variant (which is ALOT of people) they abuse the hell out of them yet still get 5-10+ years out of em and many still going strong to this day!
Please answer, what’s the best vacuum for suction, like the BEST one. #1. Better than Dyson. I need one for my family because my house is really dirty and my s9, i7 does not work well. So can you tell me the best suction vacuum? I have 3 cats. Not a pet vacuum though.
Here it is July of 2022 and I just found your videos for vac's. Do you have a review for a vac that can do tile floors really well without debri shooting out the back? My 4 room house is ALL porcelain tile.
Hi I was curious is the chance you will be able to the Deenkee Robot vaccum cleaner dk600 and do a review please. Love your reviews on the robot vacuums. Thanks
I have this same navigator. Got it in 2014
This is my fav especially for elderly to manage
i have one of these, thing works 100% still
Nice!
I tested my shark cordless stick vacuum in its lift away mode with pickup on Legos and it survived gotta be that mesh screen in the bin lol
Why this was recommended, I don’t know. But, I like it 😆
I have an older model shark stick vacuum and I love it I do want a lift away though because the stick vacuum is heavy when I clean my steps
New to this channel... have you done best vacuum for drywall dust?
My bissell pet vacuum just broke yesterday after 8 years. I’m looking into this one for the sealed heap system.
I got mine from Walmart for 75$ and I love It!
THANK YOU !!!-- Incredible information -- I was actually looking at paying $400 for a dyson but I guess my "gut" was telling me to keep looking -- cause yeah, I did not want to pay that price and find out it was not worth it.. I had NOT even considered a Shark (even though I have a Shark Navigator)- I just "assumed" there was something better on the market -- Looks like I will be buying another Shark Navigator--
Literally no reason to buy another vacuum. 9/10 you just have sucked up some something clogging the vacuum causing it to lose suction.... People like you are the reason their is so much E-waste....
2020 and still using it 😊✌️
Can you test the filtration for and/or on robot vacuums?
What the best carpet/upholstery cleaner this year?
dude i hate to be that guy who reviews the review but i went out of my way to use your referral link because of this upload, great job
Thank you!
are these good for very plush carpet? Our Bissell's brushroll won't even move due to the seal it has on it :/
How well does it pick up cat litter?
This is what we dropped our HYLA EST for.
Id love to see a review on the HYLA EST.
I have a model under the NV65x series (x is some number), I think the main pros are the well thought out modular design and the fact if you don't misuse it and keep the two pre-filters to the motor clean it'll keep going. (Better to just look at the filters to see if it's saturated after cleaning, rather than just go by some schedule.) It also seems of sturdier construction than more expensive vacuums. Family had a Dyson for a while before returning that and trying the less expensive Shark, but the plastics on the Dyson were too thin and really creaky from flexing. The Shark even though it's still light is solid everywhere, and the main wand seems to be aluminum which also helps with the sturdy feel. I think a lot of vacuums in the higher range use the same exact LG motor/impeller assembly the Shark has, so there's that too.
Generally I've seen some comments elsewhere that aren't fond of the Shark. But those people don't empty the canister before it backs up into the cyclone (a big no-no with these), and they tend to severely neglect the filters. I think they're stuck on a bag-vac mindset, and don't use a bagless properly. They often don't have the sense to only empty it outside as well, which is a bit of a face-palm.
Shark costumer service is awesome, too.
Did anyone try this out on high pile carpets or rugs?
My family used to have one of those! This is so nostalgic! Unfortunately I broke ours. The plastic handle shattered while I was vacuuming the stairs
I hope you had some good years with it before it broke!
I have an Nv22l that I bought 8 years ago and it still runs. It needs some replacement parts but the nv352 fixed all the problems with the Nv22l. I have been collecting for 8 years and the most common question I get is, “ what is the best vacuum for the money?” And I always say the nv352 or for a bit more money the newer one with zero m or the nv771
Now I know which one to get :)
How often should the HEPA filter be changed?
What about the Miele Scout RX2? Is it a good product?
Can you do a video testing makita’s new shop vac model number XCV11Z . Also then put it against the other battery operated shop vac’s from the other test you did awhile ago?
Have been waiting for a Roborock S6 MaxV review by Vacuum Wars!! Is it coming anytime soon?
I just got the pro version of this. It's REALLY GOOD!! It makes it pretty pointless to go buy the stratosphere or the vertex for like $400 unless you need the soft roller. I found with my apex I barely used it on hard floors because I was mainly using it for carpet. And it bit the dust after just 5 years. Idk but I was hoping I could get more time out of it than 5 years with the amount of money I spent on it. You'll do perfectly fine if you have one of these.
Damn, that vacuum is older than most of jake Paul’s fan base.
Can I use this vaccum on a low-pile carpets ?
best i ever owned. wish i still had one
the difference is the size of the hose from base to chamber. the new ones have toooo long hose
got one for sale? i will but it
It’s pretty lightweight never lose suction he even lift away handy dandy and also easy to clean upstairs
I still love my central vacuum
Electrolux lad I think those are more popular in Canada than they are in the U.S. I know someone in Toronto area who retrofitted her 1850 house with a central vac and she loves it.
You should review the quantum x vacuum since it looks very interesting compared to other vacuum cleaners.
Have you ever tested the kenmore crossover 31220 or du2017 models? I was looking at those compared to the shark.
I have one of the new Shark Uplights, but I have kept the Navigator NV352 too. I still miss that I can't turn off the brush roll on the new one and the swivel turn on the lift away is far better than the uplight. I got the uplight because I was tired of the brush roll on the Navigator being wrapped up with hair every time I vacuumed. I have really long hair...haha
What’s the difference between the nv352 and the nv70 other than the lift away
I used to have the original Navigator Lift-Away that came with the turbo brush and not the dinky upholstery tool that it comes with today, mine wore down over the years and I got rid of it in 2017 because everything was worn down except for the meh condition motor, wand and dust cup, but through and through it was an amazing tank of a vacuum but I don't like the new ones because they feel and look like they are cheaper quality. *Can you also review the Shark Navigator Deluxe NV70 when you get the chance? I feel like it has more airflow than the Apex or even the Vertex because of a demo I saw and because I have the vacuum already lol.*
What modern shark vacuum do you recommend that scores 100% in the carpet test and that is a sealed system because I need a vacuum that is affordable but that is good for lots of hardwood floors and some carpet. Thanks 😊
Get a cordless shark duo clean. Look into it
I have this one!
You can find manufacturer date on plug in prong!
When will we see the review of the Bissell at 4:28. I know its going to be bad, but we own it so I'm curious how bad
Does it hv a light?
Have you use the standard navigator before
FYI, the nv356e link takes you to the nv352 vacuum
His garage must be like a supermarket bank just filled a bunch of vacuums unused but every so often he pulls one off the shelf
I'm interested in how the OG Dyson dc9 non-ball kind
