The Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV356E is a do-it-all upright built for mixed homes with carpets, hard floors, and pets. Its detachable pod cleans stairs and upholstery without dragging the whole unit, while swivel steering and a manageable 13.7-lb frame make tight turns around furniture easy. An anti-allergen sealed body paired with a HEPA filter traps fine particles, and the included crevice tool and dusting brush help detail everything from baseboards to ceiling vents.
Key Features
Lift-Away Versatility
Detach the pod to clean above-floor zones—stairs, shelves, upholstery—without losing suction; reattach for full upright power on floors. The 14.96″D × 11.4″W × 45.5″H footprint stays closet-friendly for storage.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal + HEPA
A sealed system works with a HEPA filter to capture 99.9% of dust and allergens 0.3 microns or larger, helping keep fine particles in the vacuum—not the air—when you empty the bin.
Multi-Surface Control with Brushroll Shutoff
Toggle the brushroll: on for deeper agitation in carpets, off for a gentle glide on hard floors to reduce scatter and protect finishes. One vacuum, smooth transitions across rooms.
Swivel Steering, Lightweight Handling
Low-effort turns weave around chair legs and under side tables, while the 13.7-lb body keeps lifts manageable when carrying between levels or out to the car.
Extra-Large Dust Cup & Onboard Tools
A 0.87-quart dust cup supports longer sessions between trips to the trash; pop it off to empty in seconds. The included crevice tool reaches corners and baseboards, and the dusting brush lifts fine debris from blinds, vents, and shelves. Pet owners will appreciate strong pickup on hair and dander across soft and hard surfaces.
Additional Tips
- Use brushroll “on” for rugs and deeper carpets and “off” on hard floors to minimize debris scatter.
- Detach the pod for stairs and upholstery to keep weight off your wrist.
- Run the crevice tool along edges and under toe-kicks where dust collects.
- Empty the dust cup after each session to maintain airflow.
- Follow the manual for filter care—rinse washable filters as directed and replace the HEPA filter on the recommended schedule.
- Store with cord loosely coiled and tools attached so everything’s ready for quick touch-ups.
Conclusion
For homes juggling carpets, hard floors, and pet hair, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV356E delivers versatile cleaning, sealed HEPA filtration, and easy maneuverability at a value-forward price. With on-demand Lift-Away portability, brushroll control, and practical tools, it’s a reliable everyday upright that makes whole-home cleanup feel simpler and faster.
