SharkNinja Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum (NV352)

So far, we love everything about this vacuum. I'm blown away by the power/suction it has. Not only does it pick up everything off of a rug, but also wood and linoleum floors (which is what we have mostly) but we use those vacuum-seal bags to store off-season clothes and linens and it sucks so much more air out sooo quickly! Our old vacuum was so lame compared to this one. But we have a big rug and a runner, and probably getting more rugs later. I like the fact that you can take the small canister off and use the extension wand to clean corners and up above on the ceiling (we have fairly high ceilings). It's also very lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of space. It fits in a cupboard we bought to store it, that is 16"x16"x 6'. We've only had it for a month, but our son and his girlfriend bought the vacuum and I went to look at it before we ordered it and they've had it for a few months and have no complaints about it. I'm really happy we spent a little extra to get this one. We haven't used it a lot, so haven't had to empty the canister yet, but my son showed me how to do it and it looks like a breeze. The other thing, is that it does pull easier than push and we're vacuuming a .5" pile carpet. Of course on the wood/linoleum floors, no problems. The one thing I was not happy about is that I tried to call the Customer Service number 15 min. before their posted closing time and they were closed and when I sent them an email it bounced. I've not yet pursued that, but I will. My son said they had no problems with them when they discovered they were missing one of the brushes and it was sent to them.. We also didn't get the pet brush that was supposed to come with it, but we don't have any pets, so not an issue for us. Overall, I'd say that this is a great product and with the short time we've had it, we like it.

Why would you ship an American Hoover to the UK knowing its not compatible. Waste of time and now I'm expected to pay the return costs. Not Happy

I never knew vacuums could actually suck everything up until I got this wonderful piece of technology. I have pretty low standards for vacuums since my childhood as my family is super keen on buying the most budget friendly options: all we were really getting was a plastic body on wheels that made loud noises when plugged in. The last vacuum I owned was a $30 piece of **cat poop** (Dirt Devil brand I think) that made more of a mess than sucking anything up. I have two cats, and two cats means lots and lots of cat hair as well as cat litter. When I moved out of my old apartment into my new one which has carpet, I decided it was time to invest in a better vacuum. Cue the google search for the "best pet vacuum" and this miracle solution popped up. As a poor college student, this vacuum was in a price range that was relatively comfortable for me. I'm not willing to shell out $500+ for a decent vacuum! But oh my god, the moment I turned this thing on (after I fixed a little problem *see note below*), I just knew that this would be the answer to all of my prayers. It sucked up everything no problem. There was no longer a case of cat litter pelting my ankles, and cat hair has finally met its match. I was able to clean a cat condo tower and make it look almost BRAND SPANKIN NEW. My boyfriend even asked me if I had gotten a new one! I ran it over the carpet in my bedroom (I had just moved in, so they should have been cleaned already) and this thing sucked up a whole container of dust/dirt! A WHOLE CONTAINER!! Of a supposedly clean carpet!! I just can't. I really cannot believe the joy this vacuum has brought into my life. It is so cost friendly, so efficient, so AMAZING I just wonder where has this thing been all of my life (*flashback to a time when I actually thought it was acceptable/the usual thing to do to lint roll after vacuuming to pickup the crumbs left over* smh). I'm not a person to really brag about anything, much less a vacuum, but I have been raving about this to all of my friends, especially the ones with pets who shed a lot. I still can't believe the suction power on this thing. Shark... you are amazing. **On a side note, if anyone's vacuum isn't having much suction power, you may have done what I accidentally did when I first put it together and that was to hook up the lower tube wrong. It's been a while so I've forgotten exactly what happened, but I think the lowest tube that connects the "mouth" and the "body" of the vacuum wasn't connected right, or not connected at all so when I first started to vacuum with it, it wasn't really impressing me. But when I noticed the tube looked weird and plugged it in right, boy did that make a WORLD of a difference. So make sure everything is connected properly people! This thing is seriously amazing. I just can't say it enough.

Shark NV352 Navigator Lift Away Upright Vacuum with Wide Upholstery and Crevice Tools, Lavender Don't know why I was asked for a vacuum my parents already have one really good, very powerful but a little heavy. turns out, it was too heavy for them to carry between floors, so, they wanted one for the main floor, something small light and easy to use. I got this. now they only use this one for the whole house, they carry it to every floor. Hey! If they are happy I'm happy. P.S.: The only part they had trouble with was trying to figure out how to use the extended reach on the pod module. you have to remove the pod from the vacuum. THE END.

It could not be used as it issued sparks and a smell of burning
