Initially I really liked this vacuum. Until I realized there's no way to clean corners. It doesn't have attachments, doesn't sell attachments, and after market attachments don't work. I can not believe they sold this saying 'lift away' capacity. Sure it 'lifts away' and has no ability to be used that way. That's as much as you get to clean corners. I will never buy Shark again.

Target and Amazon are giving additional 30$ gift card for the same price of 119$. Unfortunately Best Buy couldn’t match it.

I recently purchased the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright from Best Buy, and it’s been a total game-changer for my home! First off, I got an amazing deal, which made this purchase even more satisfying.
The suction power is incredible—it picks up dirt, pet hair, and debris effortlessly, even from thick carpets. The lift-away feature is so convenient for cleaning furniture, and those hard-to-reach spots. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, making it easy to maneuver around the house especially for my young sons.
I also love how simple it is to empty the dust cup, and the filters are easy to clean. Plus, it works great on both carpets and hardwood floors without losing efficiency.
If you’re looking for a powerful, versatile vacuum that doesn’t break the bank, the Shark Navigator is the way to go. I’m beyond thrilled with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a reliable vacuum!

Finally Found a Vacuum I Don’t Regret Buying

I’ve been using the Shark Navigator Lift‑Away Deluxe NV360 for a few months now, and honestly—it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for keeping the house in check. If you’re thinking of getting a reliable, powerful vacuum without spending a fortune, this is a very solid choice. Here’s what I love about it:
What I Really Like
1. Awesome suction and real cleaning power
From day one I noticed how much dirt and pet hair this thing pulls up—especially from carpets. I have a medium‑pile rug and two cats, and the Shark doesn’t just skim the top; it digs in. One pass usually does a job that other vacuums needed two for.

2. The Lift‑Away feature is a game changer
Being able to detach the canister and hose makes cleaning stairs, couches, and tight spots so much easier. I don’t dread vacuuming under furniture anymore.

3. Anti‑allergen filter and sealed system
My allergies are real, and this vacuum helps. The HEPA filter and the sealed system do a good job of keeping dust/dander from escaping back into the air. I’ve noticed fewer sneezes when I’m cleaning.

4. Good attachments and usability
It comes with useful tools—crevice tool, upholstery tool, etc.—so I can clean more than just floors. And emptying the dust cup is quick; plus, Sharks tend to make parts fairly accessible for cleaning.

5. Value for money
For the price I paid, I feel like I got way more than I expected. There are higher‑priced vacuums out there, but this one holds its own. Especially with deals—when it’s on sale, it feels like a no‑brainer.

What’s Not Perfect (But Totally Forgivable)
No product is perfect, so here are a few things I wish were just a little better:
The cord could be longer. In large rooms I find myself plugging in, unplugging, and moving around a bit more than I’d like.
Best Buy
+1
On very plush or shag rugs, it takes more effort to push, and sometimes the brush roll gets tangled with hair. A minor annoyance, but something to be aware of.

+1
When fully assembled and loaded, it’s a bit heavier. Moving it around stairs or lifting the Lift‑Away pod sometimes feels like more work than ideal. But again, that’s balanced by how well it cleans.
Influenster
+1
Overall
If you ask me: this vacuum really delivers. It handles daily messes, pet hair, and allergens like a champ. The Lift‑Away flexibility makes a difference, and the price vs performance ratio is excellent. It’s not perfect, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons for my use case.
Would I recommend it? Yes, without hesitation—especially if you have pets, allergy concerns, or need something versatile for different surfaces. If I had to do it all over, I’d pick it again.

Versatile Cleaning with Sealed HEPA Filtration

Design & Build
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe presents a sleek blue exterior paired with sturdy plastic construction. Weighing in at around 12 pounds, it balances portability with stability. The Lift-Away feature lets you detach the canister to convert the unit into a compact, portable vacuum—ideal for stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach spots.
Suction & Cleaning Performance
Powered by a 1200-watt motor, this Navigator delivers strong suction across multiple floor types. Carpets feel refreshed as the brushroll agitates embedded dirt, while the direct-drive nozzle makes quick work of low-pile rugs. On hard floors, suction remains consistent even with the brushroll off, picking up fine dust and larger debris alike.
Features
Lift-Away Technology: Easily switch from upright to handheld for above-floor cleaning without losing suction power.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal: Sealed system plus HEPA filter traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum.
Brushroll Shutoff: Toggle between carpet and bare-floor modes to protect delicate surfaces.
Swivel Steering: Effortlessly navigate around furniture legs and tight corners.
Additional Tools: Includes a crevice tool and dusting brush that stow onboard.
Filtration & Maintenance
The sealed HEPA system and AeroClean® technology ensure captured particles stay locked in. Washable filters and a 2-cup dust cup simplify upkeep—just rinse and let air-dry before reinstalling. There’s no bag to replace, and emptying the cup is a one-hand operation via the bottom-release lever.
Maneuverability & Storage
Swivel steering gives the Shark excellent agility, even in cramped spaces. Its 30-foot power cord and three-position height adjustment extend reach without constant plugging or manual bracket adjustments. The on-board cord wrap and compact upright posture make it easy to tuck into a closet.
Noise & Energy
Operating noise is moderate—quieter than many uprights in its class—making it more pleasant for longer cleaning sessions. At roughly 12 amps, it’s energy-efficient without sacrificing deep-clean capability.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
Strong, consistent suction on carpets and hard floors
Lift-Away converts to a powerful handheld vacuum
Sealed HEPA system for allergy sufferers
Easy maintenance with washable filters and bagless design
Cons:
Slightly heavy when used in Lift-Away mode for extended periods
Dust cup capacity may require frequent emptying in large homes
Hose can feel a bit stiff when fully extended
Bottom Line
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe is a highly versatile upright vacuum that excels in both whole-home and spot-clean tasks. Its anti-allergen seal and HEPA filtration make it a smart choice for allergy sufferers, while Lift-Away portability tackles stairs and upholstery with ease. If you’re looking for one vacuum to handle every surface without breaking the bank, this model delivers reliable performance and convenient features.

Really love this vacuum! It's easy to use, and pretty easy to figure out in terms of converting it to the "pod" version (Gondor has no manuals, Gondor needs no manuals). I love how much gunk it was able to pull out of my carpet. And it was really easy to empty it when it got full (I love the fact it opens from the top and bottom!). I will say that the amount of suction makes this vacuum not so good at smaller pick-ups, like if I want to just vacuum some crumbs off my bed sheets this isn't great at that because it just keeps trying to pull the sheets in. It works on my couch since there is less fabric for it to pull in. And that suction does mean that sometimes it takes more effort to use it. Overall I am super happy with it, and it takes care of 90% of my vacuum needs. I have a smaller wireless vacuum for the other 10%.

I am extremely impressed with the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe! From the very first use, it proved to be powerful, efficient, and incredibly easy to handle. The suction power is outstanding, effortlessly picking up dirt, dust, and pet hair from both carpets and hard floors. The Lift-Away feature is a game changer — being able to detach the canister makes cleaning stairs, furniture, and hard-to-reach areas simple and convenient. I also love the complete anti-allergen seal, which noticeably improves the air quality in my home. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the lightweight design makes it easy to move around without straining. Overall, this vacuum is worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch cleaning performance and versatility.

The best vacuum I have ever used!! I love that the handle is removable to easily get cracks and corners or small messes. Very light weight and moves around smoothly. Easy to clean with the top and bottom of canister opening. Great vacuum and well worth the money. I will never own another vacuum that is not shark brand.

I had 2 Dyson vacs and i lost them both when my home burned. After rebuilding and moving back in i decided it was time for another vacuum. I had over $1000 tied up in my Dysons and was reluctant to spend that much on another vacuum so i purchased another brand’s higher end unit and it stopped working completely 2 months and 2 days after purchase. I have hardwoods throughout the house - no carpet anywhere and i have cats, which track cat litter around and i dont like walking on that. The other brand did ok - until it quit working. I knew Dyson was more expensive but you get what you pay for. Dyson is just a better vacuum cleaner. Better made, more powerful and certainly more reliable. I can tell a huge difference in my floors in comparing the other brand to the Dyson. The floor still felt a little gritty after vacuuming with the other brand but it feels so smooth and clean with the Dyson. Its heavier but thats what you get when you have a well made, solid machine.
