At the end of testing, some hair had gathered in the roller brush (we found this to be a very common occurrence), but it was relatively easy to remove. The crevice tool and upholstery brush both work well on various debris, too. We found the vacuum easily moved around and under furniture, and was equally adept at transitioning from floor to carpet. Maneuverability in general was excellent. We were surprised that we didn’t always need to break out attachments to reach tighter corners. Although we found the vacuum slightly harder to push on high-pile carpet and a little slower-moving on medium-pile, it still effectively cleaned debris and hair off those surfaces.ĭuring cleaning tests, the Shark NV360 Navigator wowed us with its ability to maneuver around edges, including stairs.
Many of the other vacuums we tested had one or two “weaker” surfaces, with some debris left behind, making the Shark NV360 Navigator’s performance exceptional.
The vacuum cleaned debris and hair from all surfaces in under a minute. The Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum was one of just four models to receive the highest scores for effectiveness, meaning they were top-performing in their ability to pick up debris and hair from grout tile, hardwood, medium-pile carpet, and high-pile carpet. It’s one of the loudest models on our list, with some settings making conversation difficult. During testing, we used a predetermined methodology to evaluate each vacuum’s noise level, effectiveness, maneuverability, and ease of emptying. To find the best upright vacuums that effectively keep floors spotless and are also intuitive and comfortable to use, our testers tried 15 of the most popular models at our lab in Des Moines, Iowa. “They often have larger cleaning paths and more powerful motors, allowing for quicker and more thorough cleaning.” “Upright vacuums are generally designed to handle a wide range of cleaning tasks, from carpets to bare floors and upholstery,” says Marla Mock, president of Molly Maid cleaning services. For heavy-duty cleaning sessions, upright vacuums remain a home appliance worth investing in, especially if you have lots of carpeted floors. And while stick vacuums can certainly be easier to store, their battery life can be limited.
That extra weight generates added pressure, Petrino explains, which makes it easier for an upright vacuum’s beater brush to get into the carpet pile and remove dust and dirt. “The one-piece design makes them easy to move around and store, and the extra weight over the brush head makes the cleaning performance superior for rugs and carpets.” “Upright vacuums are a fantastic and economical choice for many buyers,” says Jessica Petrino, a home appliances expert and editorial director at AJMadison. But while these newer, high-tech models can indeed offer benefits, an upright vacuum still delivers the most powerful cleaning performance. You may have noticed that robot vacuums and stick vacuums have become increasingly popular in recent years.
