The Shark Navigator Lift Away vacuum cleaner by Euro-Pro is quite new and is making waves in the vacuum cleaner industry. It is relatively inexpensive, both an upright and a canister vacuum, allergy friendly, and also carries a lengthy 5 year warranty.
The Shark Navigator Lift Away, or Shark NV350 as it is sometimes called, is powered by a 10 amp motor and uses cyclonic suction. Cyclonic suction spins air at a high velocity stripping the dust and debris out and into the dust canister. It also ensures that much of the dirt is kept away from the filters and therefore suction is not compromised. This technology is often referred to as "no-loss of suction" technology.
A review of consumer comments from across the net indicates a high level of satisfaction with the NV350. Owners like the powerful suction, light weight and lengthy power cord. There are also a number of positive comments related to the washable lifetime filters and how they save time and money. On the downside some people feel that the dust canister is a little small and as such must be emptied frequently. Also, not all of the vacuum attachments can be stored on-board.
The NV350 has a motorized brushbar that can be turned on or off allowing the unit to work effectively both on carpet or bare floors. It also has a swivel nozzle that is very maneuverable. The Lift Away is certified by the British Allergy Foundation and it comes with HEPA filtration and uses a sealed system. HEPA filtration is a high level of filtration that removes 99.97% of all particles with a diameter of 0.3 microns or greater. This typically includes pet dander, dust and other allergens. The sealed system ensures that air sucked into the vacuum doesn't leak out through cracks or bypass the filters. This is a feature not common on vacuums under 0.
Other features include an easy-to-empty dust canister, an 11.25 inch wide power nozzle, and a lengthy 30 foot power cord. Many vacuum cleaner owners complain when a machine has a power cord less than 30 feet. The unit also weighs a very light 12.8 lbs so consumers have no problem pushing the vacuum or carrying it up or down stairs. A number of attachments are included with the Lift Away including a dusting brush, crevice tool, bare floor nozzle and a pet hair turbo brush (good for cleaning stairs and upholstery). There is also an accessory tool holder and a stretch hose.
The vacuum has a detachable canister which is a feature that owners feel is both useful and practical. The canister and handle detach from the body of the vacuum and can be carried around allowing the user to clean stairs, around furniture, overhead, and other hard to reach areas. Dimensions for the Lift Away in inches are (H x W x L) 45.0 x 11.4 x 12.4.
The NV350 is getting extremely good consumer ratings and like its brother the NV22L it is becoming a top seller on retail sites like Amazon. Its popularity is due to the wide range of features, the strong suction and the reasonable price. It can usually be found for less than 0 and it carries a respectably long 5 year warranty. Like many other Euro-Pro Shark products, the Navigator Lift Away vacuum comes only in lavender.
