I've seen the following as the best ones:
Yes! It comes with a crevice tool, an upholstery brush, and a small flat head for cleaning upholstery. This vacuum cleaner is fantastic!
There is no way to adjust the suction on this one. It does have a switch that allows you to switch from bare floors to having it on so the beater bar can turn.
It is possible to clean a regular foam filter. It is possible that the hepa filter can be washed. My Shark NV350 came with a charcoal foam hepa filter and a white prefilter pad when I first got it. When I ordered a replacement, I expected it to be the same as the original, but it wasn't. Worse, despite being ID's for this model, the replacements I purchased did not stay on the machine. In the end, I didn't throw out the original, but instead washed the foam and made a new pre-made one. making a pad out of similar materials using the original white pad as a template and cutting 2- To fit, use three layers of swiffer duster sheets. The material of the duster sheets is nearly identical. And, just like the original white pad, when it turns dark, the machine warns you that it's time to replace the pad because of poor performance. I only wash the actual hepa filter once or twice a year, but I change the pre-filter every few months. filter pad on a regular basis And almost every time I use the machine or use enough to fill the dust canister, I wash the foam with its felt pad. Despite the fact that the new hepa filters appeared to fit, the plastic grill door would not latch, so I had to throw them away. They may have improved since then, but they are no longer foam. They don't have the prerequisites. Before you should replace the filter pad and the accordion-like paper material, vacuum it or blow it clean with an air compressor a few times. I simply adore the original thick black charcoal-encrusted washable foam filter. It hasn't worn out in ten years or more, owing to the fact that I replace the home-made prefilter pad on a regular basis. (My original machine still stinks; the motor appears to be in working order, but the brush roller isn't moving; this could be a switch or a motor malfunction.) I couldn't tell which was which. When I couldn't find this one, I bought a different Shark, which isn't nearly as nice as this one. This machine fits my house and me better than any other standup machine I've ever had. (I, on the other hand, despised Dyson's first vacuum cleaner.) In a year or less, it lost its suction. It didn't matter how many times you washed or replaced the filters; they all ended up in the trash. ) I'll keep my old machine to use as a source of parts for this one. Because the house is three stories with a 12-foot deep basement and a stand-up attic, I am purchasing two. This super suction machine's light weight makes it perfect for travel. I've determined that I can get two nearly new ones for the price of one brand new one. And make sure you have enough spare parts to keep one running for at least another ten years. As I approach 70, the other shark, which is only four months old, is too heavy for me to carry up and down the stairs. Because of the threads, I still use a good canister machine in the sewing room to avoid having to clean the uprights' wheels so frequently. I hope this information is useful to other buyers.
Selected User Reviews For Shark Ninja NV352 Navigator Lift Away HEPA Canister Vacuum Cleaner Purple (Renewed)
vacuum of a certain size My vacuum cleaner arrived today, and I'm quite pleased with it. It was certified refurbished, and all of the parts and instructions appear to be present. It wasn't in its original box, and there were a few scratches on the lower section, but it was otherwise in excellent condition. On carpet, I used the roller, and on bare floors, I used the hose. In either case, it has a nice strong suction. In fact, the instructions state that you should lower the suction for use with the hose and attachments, which is exactly what I did. The biggest advantages are the power and suction for the size and price, as well as the fact that it isn't too loud for its size and power (I've had two Bissels that were louder but didn't clean as well). There were a few minor drawbacks, but the suction was nearly as good as my old Kenmore canister vacuum, which cost three times as much. The point where the hose detaches from the vacuum's body is a little awkward, and mine slipped apart a couple of times while I was using it as an upright until I double-checked that it was securely connected. The on/off switch isn't in the most convenient location, but it worked fine after that. The old Kenmore had the switch built right into the handle, which was very handy. A switch near the bottom of a few other uprights I've used allowed you to turn it on and off with your foot. This one has a switch about halfway down the body that you must reach down to turn on or off. This is, however, a minor issue. Other vacuums I looked at had other, less appealing design features. When not in use, the model's hose is kept off the floor and untethered. The attachments are supposed to all store on the vacuum, but I haven't quite figured out how to put the last two on correctly. However, the ones I tried worked fine. br>br>On how long this machine will last, only time will tell. (A two-year warranty was included in my purchase price. ) However, I am hopeful because I have previously owned Shark vacuums that have performed admirably. After two years, I still have a small cordless Shark in the style of a dustbuster that works perfectly. I enjoyed it so much that I bought one for my mother, who also enjoys it.
My house is filthy. I have three dogs and a yard to look after. Because I have chickens, I wear outdoor shoes and try to kick them off when I enter the house, though I don't always do so if I'm just going to the garage. After reading some online reviews, I decided to order the Shark NV352. br>First and foremost, it was simple to put together. It is light in weight, and the handheld component should suffice for my stairwell. It might be possible to disassemble it and make it even lighter for stair work. I don't have hardwood floors, but I do have linoleum, and this machine can go from bare floor to carpet with ease. Second, there is a lot of suction here. I did buy some extra filters because allowing them to dry always throws me off. I want to finish the job, but, as I previously stated, I live in a filthy house, and there is sometimes just too much dirt to work properly. The downside of good suction is that this baby isn't self-propelled, so pushing it along the floor requires a little more arm strength. My carpet is cleaner, and I got a good workout for my arms. br>Due to the smaller head, more passes are required. This isn't a major issue for me, but it's worth noting. It pivots easily, making it very maneuverable. Because the head is also short in stature, it fits nicely under the armoire's edge. br>I tried to grab the cobwebs, but it didn't work out. I suppose I could lift the entire canister and reach, but it didn't have enough tubing to reach my 8' ceiling even with the extended arm. If your ceilings are higher than that, you might want to rethink your cobweb-clearing strategy. br>The dust canister is small, and removing it necessitates the removal of two buckles. Not a major issue, but worth noting, particularly if you have a large home and value dirt capacity. br>Because of the dogs, I have to steam clean my carpets on a regular basis, and I believe this little powerhouse will do a better job of precleaning than my hoover, which I constantly overheat. br>This is most definitely a first impression review. I haven't yet clogged it and had to disassemble it, so if that turns out to be significant, I'll revisit it.
For a mid-term project, I watched numerous YouTube videos. This Shark model was frequently mentioned as a top-tier vacuum, a good value, and so on. I was a little nervous about purchasing refurbished (refurbished) items, but as you can see from the photos, I had no issues. The vacuum has a lot of suction (see the last photo - that's the first vacuum I ever made). It's a little heavier than I expected, but I didn't expect it to be so light. The filters appeared to be brand new, and there were three attachments included. We've had it for four months and are very pleased with it.
This is the second time I've bought a "refurbished" vacuum cleaner. My first Shark arrived in good condition, with only a few minor blemishes. Aside from that, it was spotless and functioned flawlessly, just like a brand new vacuum. Unfortunately, it appears that THIS vacuum has not been serviced in a long time. By a long shot, no. It's completely broken, filthy in every crack and crevice, smells foul, is caked with hair, and came without filters. This isn't something I'd pay $2 for at a yard sale. To make matters worse, I bought it for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding anniversary. When it was opened, he was completely embarrassed by the law. It was the worst nightmare I'd ever had. Amazon, you should be ashamed for sending me this disgusting, broken piece of garbage. For everything you've put me through, I was given a full refund AND a replacement.
The only issue I discovered was that the crevice cleaner was scratched and that the filters were old. I'm not going to use it to see how well it works until I've replaced all of the filters. When the filters say new, it's obviously not new, and I bought a new one rather than a refurbished one, which you'd think would have at least new filters.
It would have been nice if the filters had been replaced since it was reconditioned.
