Score: 65/100Rankings
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV356E is an upright vacuum with strong suction and a large 0.55-gal sealed bin, complemented by HEPA filtration and Lift-Away versatility. Its top-heavy design, non-retractable cord, and occasional bin leaks are notable trade-offs. Ideal for pet owners and allergy-sensitive households seeking deep cleaning.
The Bissell CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum 3508 is a lightweight, bagless upright designed for small spaces, featuring a long 23-ft cord and easy-empty 1-liter dirt cup. Its trade-offs include a small dust capacity, lack of HEPA filtration, and no swivel steering, which may limit performance on larger homes or for allergy sufferers. Best suited for apartment dwellers and quick everyday cleanups.

Professional reviewers commend the NV356E for its strong suction, large sealed bin, and HEPA filtration, noting it delivers consistent cleaning on carpets, hard floors, and pet hair. They also praise the Lift-Away versatility and Dust-Away attachment, while calling out the top-heavy canister, non-retractable cord, and the ergonomics of the brush-roll pedal as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the vacuum's large easy-to-dump bin, powerful pet-hair pickup, and maneuverability thanks to the 30-ft cord and swivel steering. Common complaints focus on the canister's top-heavy feel, occasional bin leaks, and the stiff brush-roll pedal, with some noting the unit feels heavier than expected.

Professional editors highlight the Bissell 3508's ultra-lightweight design, long 23-ft cord, and easy-empty dirt cup as strong points for quick, everyday cleaning in compact homes. However, they note several shortcomings such as the missing brush-on/off switch, lack of HEPA filtration, no cord rewind, and limited suction control, which reduce its appeal for allergy sufferers or users needing more versatile floor-type adjustments.
Everyday users love the vacuum's portability, strong suction, and scatter-free performance on hard floors, especially for pet hair. Common frustrations revolve around the small 1-liter dust bin that requires frequent emptying, the need for regular filter maintenance to keep suction strong, and the absence of a brush-off switch that can cause debris to scatter on rugs.
