Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum Purple Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum Purple

Pros: Picks up Husky fur, Cat fur, lint and anything that is in the carpets or possibly under. We have been able to see and smell the difference since we have been using this Vacuum. After one year of use, and still working, it is by far one of the best sweepers I've used and my wife even over fills the canister when she uses. I keep the foam pad clean under the bin and have not seen any clogging issues at all.

Cons: The canister does fill up quickly so it requires monitoring and constant emptying. We have several empty dog food bags that I use to fill with the dust and dander.

Other Thoughts: Although the canister does require a lot of emptying, it has kept the house cleaner than many of the other upright units that I have ever had. It also didn't coast 500 or 700 dollars like I have seen a similar product advertized for. It is well worth the investment. If you keep up with it and keep it clean, you will not have any issues and it will clean your floors well.

Pros: Can't tell because an essential part of the vacuum was defective

Cons: I received my with a defective part. Typical of Chinese junk. No manual was included ( I suppose 170 bucks doesn't warrant a manual these days) so I don't know the exact name of the defective part. Its the elbow type connector that attaches to the rear of the canister and connects the flexible hose to the handle. I can see there are tabs in the canister end to hold the elbow in place but the elbow itself has is smooth and has nothing in there to hold it to the base. Something seems to be missing on mine.

Its going to cost almost 36 bucks to return the thing to New Egg for a replacement. More money down the tubes. Wonder if the next one will work.

Last time I try a (Chinese) Shark. I regret not spending a little more money and getting an American-made Riccar.

Lesson learned, stay away from cheap Chinese products

Other Thoughts: Should have spend the extra money for a nice, well-built made in America Riccar

Pros: Suction works

Cons: Motor does not work.

Other Thoughts: Bad enough the unit was DOA. Should not have to pay shipping on a unit defective right out of the box.

Pros: Great vaccuum. Very light and easy to use. Very versitile.

Cons: Not sure the price was that great. Just after i bought Walmart had the upgraded professional version on sale for just a few dollars more. Oh well

Other Thoughts: Overall i am very pleased with this product. My wife is very petite and this vaccuum works awesome for her.

Pros: This monster sucks everything as powerful as seem on the TV ad!
it could even vacuum my car's seats, super clear!

Cons: none so far!

Other Thoughts: good price comparing to the similar products with other brands!

Pros: Great at lifting dust and debris from rug.

Light and easy to handle.

Easy to remove dust chamber for cleaning

Cons: Cheaply constructed, Dust chamber too small, Cord ridiculously short. Dust chamber cleaning a messy affair. Expensive for level of build quality, accessories are junk.

Other Thoughts: Should have stuck with a name brand and spent a bit more, don't think this one will last very long.

Pros: - Great Suction Power
- Very lightweight
- Small footprint

Cons: - Tray fills up quickly due to the great suction power

Pros: I love this vacuum... First day it was shipped, I have used it. Once I vacuumed my carpet, you can see the dirt pick up immediately. If I had enough to spend for my whole family, I would. First bag-less vacuum I ever have owned and I don't regret it.

Cons: None

Pros: Testing 3 different vacuums in the past week (Craftsman canister, Dyson upright and Shark NV352) there's no comparison. The Shark NV352 is a far superior vacuum, with a cost less than half that of the Dyson.

Comparing the Shark to the Dyson vacuum, we found that the Shark NV352 outmaneuvered the Dyson, especially if you need to vacuum under beds or furniture. More importantly, the suction and carpet cleaning ability of the Shark was spectacular (and a little embarrassing).

As a matter of fact, we were both amazed with the amount of dirt & pet hair picked up by the Shark NV352 unit, just 3 days after vacuuming the very same room that we had with the Dyson model. Note that this room hadn't been used between vacuum tests....

As for the Craftsman Canister model, there isn't a good place to start. The Shark outperformed the Craftsman in absolutely every category, with the exception of the Craftsman having a retractable cord.

Cons: Initially, the vacuum head appeared to be on the small side (Small Head...). However, when turning the NV352 on, the concern disappeared. Seeing just how much dirt/hair/crud was being sucked up, I was both impressed and a little embarrassed that I thought the carpet was clean.

Other Thoughts: Based on the cost of the Shark NV352, the maneuverability, the suction and the overall excellent carpet cleaning ability, I would recommend this unit to anyone who has a desire to vacuum their home. It's not a professional vacuum cleaning unit but then again, most folks don't need one for their home

Pros: - Amazing suction power.
- Sucks up allergens, dust, dirt, and stuff like a pro.
- Lightweight (although I workout regularly, so it isn't a problem for me)
- Compact
- Easy to assemble.

Cons: A little top-heavy when the canister is off. Chances are when you remove the canister to empty it, the vacuum will fall over, so make sure you aren't at the top of the stairs when you empty it, or just make sure you have the vacuum lying against a wall.

Other Thoughts: I just got this and put it together today. Put it to work in some areas I've allowed dirt and stuff to accumulate in my room. Took it for a spin and cleaned that area PERFECTLY! I went to empty the canister and it was filled with dust and some weird dirt fibers... it was amazing! This vacuum is the real deal, BUY IT IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A VACUUM!
