Shark NV360 Blue
Score: 78/100
Bissell CleanView Swivel
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe offers a 1200 W motor, HEPA filtration and a detachable Lift-Away pod, delivering strong suction and versatility for pet-hair and allergy concerns. Its short hose, single speed, and overall heft can make extended handheld use tiring. Best for pet owners who need portable above-floor cleaning and appreciate HEPA filtration at a reasonable price.
The Bissell CleanView Swivel 3836 is a bagless upright with strong suction, swivel steering and a Triple Action Brush Roll, making it effective for pet hair on multiple floor types. It lacks edge-sweep brushes, a brush-on/off switch, and automatic cord rewind, limiting convenience. Ideal for pet owners who value performance and maneuverability at a budget-friendly price.

Professional reviewers commend the NV360 for its powerful 1200 W motor, strong pet-hair pickup, and effective HEPA filtration, while noting its generous 0.9 qt dust cup and convenient Lift-Away pod. However, they point out drawbacks such as the floorhead's tendency to trap larger debris, the limited 5-ft hose length, and the lack of adjustable suction or brushroll height.
Everyday users love the vacuum's astonishing suction power, lightweight maneuverability, and large dust cup, especially for pet-hair removal and allergy concerns. Common complaints focus on the short hose, occasional debris scatter on hard floors, and the unit feeling heavy when fully loaded.
