Shark Vertex vs Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352

But the vertex appears to have a newly designed anti-hair wrap system which is even better than the previous ones. But i can't tell you exactly how it...

I'd say the suction is about 75% of what the Dyson does based on my experience. The Dyson is more ergonomically friendly and that's what the Shark is lacking. Bottom line, I'd recommend this vacuum cleaner but if you've got a bigger budget, go with something better.

Our Shark Vertex is broken (I think it's the bearings in the roller) and I will not spend $100 to replace a head that will likely do the same thing in another year. I will be purchasing a Miele or Sebo from a local vacuum/sewing store.

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

The final pro before we move on to the cons is the way that it handles. It was very smooth on hard floors and carpet and very easy to maneuver, especi...

With each of these steps, more dust billows up into your face and onto your clothes. Be SURE you empty it outdoors. Never indoors! Thank goodness I live where it's never freezing and snowy.

This vacuum sucks up everything!! Even cords you're trying to vacuum around. But once you know it's fine, it just takes a little extra work to pick them up before destroying them. The battery life is very good. On the 2nd setting it easily lasts well over 30 minutes of hard floor and carpet vacuuming

I have a lab and a border collie mix, and the [Shark Navigator Lift Away 2XL capacity]([URL REMOVED] handles hair, dirt, and everything else they track through the house like a champ, and comes apart so easily if the brush roller needs cleaned. It has a hard floor setting and a carpet setting, and you can adjust the suction level on it too if you need to vacuum a rug without it getting sucked in.

The dust bin is simple to remove and clean out and no vacuum bag is needed. This vacuum is definitely doing a great job of keeping my home clean and tidy.

This vacuum replaced a 12-year old Dyson, which has frustrated me for 12 years. It finally broke, and I ordered this one through Prime. The assembly is simple, as everything goes logically into place and snaps in without effort. The cord is ample length

It's likely not a popular one with enthusiasts, but you might read some reviews on the Shark Apex DuoClean or the Shark Vertex DuoClean- the corded models with the keyword being the DuoClean head design. Right around your price range and I have seen some good reviews with tests for the situation you are describing. I believe all Sharks have a 5yr warranty too. They also have cordless models, but I have not read anything on them

The vacuum comes with four attachments and space to store only 2 of them on the vacuum itself. This is infuriating and lazy design. You can store the vacuum upright and take it out of storage with a single hand. But then you'll have to go crawling around looking for the two attachments that don't stay on the vacuum

Upon unboxing and initial inspection you can tell it had been previously owned but was well cleaned. Everything worked perfect. The round foam filter was clean but stained/discolored and the HEPA filter was not there. I would still recommend but maybe have back up filters too

I have owned a lot of different brand vacuum cleaners, Shark is definitely one of my top favorites. The suctioning power lasts with this brand. The key is to clean your filters regularly. Especially if you live where you get a lot of dust in your home or if you have pets

It’s constantly getting clogged or I have to constantly clean the brush roller. Right now, I’m looking at the cordless Shark Vertex.

It's tiny and they recommend washing it, which makes it lose its integrity as a hepa filter. The real filtering is farther inside and consists of a couple of sponges that immediately fill up with dirt and need to be washed (and dried) often. Cord: It has a very short cord - this problem is easily solved with an extension cord of course. It is also poorly placed, so you have to put it up over your shoulder to keep from stepping on it, which makes the cord even shorter

My only complaints are that I wish the hose was longer and there was a greater variety in available attachments. I would like a full bristled upholstery attachment. Those two things and this vacuum would be perfect, but even without it's really, really excellent!

the cord is very short. I have to switch outlets often. Also the hose is so short and is attached to an awkward plastic handle that makes its nearly impossible to use with the tools (see pic). When using the extension piece with the tools you have to completely unwind and remove the cord to use and the piece is heavy and awkward to use
