Shark Navigator Professional Lift-Away NV356E vs Riccar SupraLite

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away is a bagless upright vacuum. Its 'Lift-Away' design allows you to pick up and carry its canister while vacuuming with its wand. It delivers superb performance on bare floors and does an excellent overall job cleaning various kinds of debris on low and high-pile carpet. It also cleans pet hair without any issue, regardless of surface type, and has an onboard allergen-trapping HEPA filter

It's the best filtration that you can purchase. And um, this is how you slide your bag back in. You're going to do this side in there and then you're ...

Despite that, this is still our top recommendation for those on a tighter budget. It stands up well against other models that cost substantially more and delivers an above-average performance overall.

The Hoover Onepwr Hepa+ $299 is the best value right now, it comes with 2 batteries and you can often find a bundle deal that includes a cordless hand held vacuum.

Then just to be even more fabulous it wipes the dust from the floors leaving behind a fresh, clean & cared for looking floor. If you've ever had wood floors, especially real wood floors but laminate as well, you know sometimes they can look just a little faded or just sort of lack the luster associated with the look wood floors. Rubbing across it with this cloth the floors a soft shine that just somehow adds think the overall good look of the floors. They look really nice afterwards and I know they are also really clean because I watched it suck up all of the dirt even right up net to the baseboards

I've used this bag ever since I've owned my Riccar vacuum. I'm very well satisfied and will continue to place orders as needed.

The fact that not all of the attachments physically attach to the vacuum is disappointing and lead to losing one piece during a move last year. I don't want to have to carry things while I clean, I also don't want to fetch things from a different room when I need them. EASE OF USE Buttons are conveniently located and it's simple to switch the brush on and off as I go from rugs, to wood, and then to carpet. HARD SURFACE vs CARPET There are two on settings, one without activating the roller that is intended for hard wood or tile, the second that initiates the roller and should be used for carpet or rugs

I find the best ways to handle hairwrap is a brushroll that’s easy to remove and clean or one that you can cut the hair on 2 sides of the brushroll and then turn it on again to suck it off.

I would recommend buying extra filters because, as you can see in my third photo, it traps a lot of dust. That thing was pristine white when I started (testament to the suction power and filtering system of this vacuum). I do believe you can wash these things out, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. Just keep a couple of extras handy

Most Americans and Canadians prefer uprights but if you don't get tripped up by canisters, the Zero G is a good vacuum that can do it all.

5. Hepa filter has a good seal and is washable. Dust does not recirculate into the air.

It has a hepa filter and a hose and combo tool. It's not a BIFL machine but it's filtration is decent and it should last 3-5 years with normal maintenance. Just make sure she's comfortable with the swivel steering, some people don't like it. My personal choice would be a light weight Oreck with a hepa bag or a Riccar Supralite but your Mom deserves to use whatever she likes :)
