Shark
Shark Navigator Swivel Pro Upright Vacuum, HEPA, Pet Hair, Navy, NV151
Best for
This is our pick for everyday mixed floors in an apartment or modest home when you want stairs and ceiling dusting from the hose without carrying a lift-away; skip it if you have a lot of deep shag, or if you already own a smaller Shark and want a clear step up in rug power.
What buyers say
The trade-off is a simple machine that trips its brush roll on deep shag (the reset is the body switch) and does not out-clean a smaller Shark on rugs.
Loved by buyers
- •The long hose and a handle that lifts off let you do stairs and high spots without hauling a lift-away canister from room to room.
- •A control on the handle changes suction so you can go from a throw rug to wood in the same pass, which is faster than walking back to the machine.
Buyer concerns
- •On deep shag the brush roll cuts out if you push forward, and the only reset is the power switch on the body, not on the handle.
- •Rug pickup is not a clear step up from a smaller Shark, and a few machines have quit inside a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it light enough to carry between rooms?+
It is lighter to live with than a lift-away you have to hoist, because the hose does the upstairs work. It is still an upright you notice after a long session, not a stick you forget you are holding.
Does it have HEPA filtration?+
The listing includes a sealed HEPA system, rated under ASTM F1977 to trap 99.9 percent of dust and allergens 0.3 microns or larger. This review set does not describe allergy results in real homes, so we are not treating that lab number as something we have tested.
How do you empty the bin, and is it messy?+
The bin releases and dumps without reaching inside, and it is large enough that emptying is infrequent.
Can I rinse the filters instead of buying replacements?+
Yes. The foam and felt filters rinse in the sink. A spare pair keeps the vacuum in service while the wet set dries.
