Great vacuum cleaner – I've received NV500 as warranty replacement for NV350 back in 2015. After 8 years, I'm looking to replace the broken hose. Yes, it is little bit heavy, but I'm not caring it anywhere. Easy access to filters and it very easy to empty the container. Still performs great and I always get surprised how much 'invisible' dust Shark picks up. Show details

Excellent features poor after sales – Excellent ergodynamic design, excellent suction, carpet roller and filter systems. Sadly not well-designed for balance so tips easily. so many good features and a cheap, tangling cord. Needed to buy a second hose and now roller has stopped working. Is that Okay after 5 years on a top priced product. No spares available. Offer to buy a new product… Read more

at 10% discount but live in an area why I can physically touch, see or try product out, so I gues I switch brands

Fantastic and very reliable – So this was the replacement of my purple lift away vacuum and have had this for 10 years now and the only thing that has just started breaking is the vacuum pipe to the handle has never let me down and has been used just about everyday, perfect for carpets however not so great on wooden floors or tiles only because you either have to carry it or… Read more

put it on the caddy which is not the most stable going room to room as you have to use the non powered head as the powered head just flicks the debris everywhere now as I'm older I find it difficult to drag around and will be replacing it with something more conventional which is a shame but being honest, fantastically reliable otherwise

Love my vacuum and the service from Mann & Noble – I love my Shark Vac. With a bad back is so easy to push around without putting effort in to it. It does all the work and basically pulls itself along. IT is extremely versatile and has too many attachments to mention. After almost 5 years of getting a workout most days, the head died. I fought tooth and nail to get the warranty info from the TV… Read more

Shop who sold it to me.. they had my name and had debited my account for 6 month but couldn't find the details. MAnn & Noble have taken over sales and service and quickly honored the warranty. New Head sent next day 6 months after, the main motor stopped. Again TV shop were appalling.. But Mann & Noble were sensible enough to take the purchase information and again honour warranty. New machine next day. Best machine !! And as long as Shark is back by MAnn and Noble it will be my vacuum of choice,

Love it! – When I first used this vacuum.. I could not believe how much it pulled out of the carpet! It's sooo versatile, and with all the attachments it's also great for the car. Not a fan on wooden flooring..it blows stuff about a bit... but I don't know what any other vac is like on them so cannot compare. Show details

Amazing product – Best vacuum I have ever owned. Use it every day as I have 2 large dogs whom like to play and sleep inside. Perfect on all surfaces. I have wood throughout the living areas and carpet in the bedrooms. The shark dosent miss a beat. Would highly recommend Shark vacuums.  Show details

Great initially but doesn't last – I have only had this vacuum for under 5 years, and this was a replacement for the original shark navigator vacuum (a different model) I purchased, which got recalled! I love how it comes with so many different attachments which was effective in cleaning floor boards, tiles, rugs/carpets, curtains, ceiling fans, everything. However, considering… Read more

that I'm having to hunt down and purchase a second replacement part (which won't happen because this product is now discontinued), I feel their products are substandard and I will not be purchasing their products again.

Good Vacuum – Best vacuum ever. The trick is that I taped up the "Suction Control" completely with a packing tape so no suction is lost. Also, every week I clean the Foam, Felt, and Hepa filter. You have to keep doing this habit so the vacuum itself operates as if it just came out of the box. Hope this helps.  Show details

Great Vacuum - Exceptional Power! – Compare to my old Dyson vacumn cleaner, this is a great vacuum with very strong suction power. It’s a little heavy but you can use it easy to maneuver and swivels smoothly also xceanning is also easy as well. If you have a pet, this product could be a good option.  Show details

Worst money ever spent – I wished I had written this review when I first bought it. It has no suction at all on hard surfaces, it is so heavy that I am exhausted by the time I finish vacuuming. I thought for the money I spent it would be a dream, instead it is a nightmare every time i use it. I can see why it has been discontinued.  Show details

Outstanding value – This vacuum is a dream, easy to meneuver and empty. Suction better quality then my sisters $1200 vaccuum. Obviously need some degree of maintenance with the filters but more than happy to do so once in a while. I loved my shark navigator lift away and upgraded to this model.  Show details

not worth the money – The vacuum is ok but not worth the amount I paid. The hose is that tight that when you use it the vacuum just tìps over. Suction loss after a few months and now the power head doesnt work. 150 for a replacement head! When the power head stopped working the vacuum made a loud bang and smelt burnt, assumed it was the rubber band but it wasnt. Also after little use the smaller brush doesnt spin now either.  Show details

Its ok! Post sales Customer service is really bad – I bought this 3-4 years back & have been having issues in suction. Have youtube'd & cleaned as much as I could but a slight band on the base & the suction is lost. I've to switch off & on to use & the cycle continues every time I use it. I tried reaching the customer service for this issue & even after buying a product worth $500 odd they want me… Read more

to pay P&H. This is so unacceptable. I understand to pay for the part which is damaged in use by me but this is really crazy. People choose to buy these expensive products to get value & peace of mind of post-sales service in return. Really disappointed.

Great device, Certainly worth the price – I initially purchased a shark rocket which was recalled by the company and was issued with the NV 500. I am very happy with the performance. I believe the appliance although not so light is easy to maneuver. I use it on carpets and tiles . A 2 bedroom 2 bathroom living room balcony 99sq meters. I have only use a few of the attachments. It also has a car detailing kit. Good Buy!  Show details

Overall great vacuum cleaner – Great vacuum cleaner. Easy to maneuver, easy to pull apart to use various functions. Contrary to it's claims though, mine does lose suction when the canister is full. Also make sure you regularly clean the filters and rollers underneath. Nice and light and easy to use, overall I'm very pleased  Show details

Perfect for my OCD!! – Had the shark lift away and couldn't fault it so gave it to mum to then get myself this one and still living it. Being a bit of a tight butt at the time, I didn't splash out and get the Dyson stick vac as i had originally planned, but I can't get enough of that turbo feature that gets the high speed rollers going for the carpet. It's easy to push… Read more

and not too grippy even when the rollers are working.

The attachments that it comes with are great too with all those pieces I particularly use for cleaning the car's nooks and crannies.

Yet to go back to any weak feeling vac! This had been a brilliant purchase.

This item is good – Doesnt pick up like hair well. Better on wood then it is carpet. Its heavy however it gets in hard to reach spots really well. The house is pretty big. However we just like to sweep everything up and vacuum up the piles so we don't lug the vacuum all around the house. It is quieter then most.  Show details

OK vacuum but NO warranty – This vacuum is OK, super heavy so don't buy if you don't like a work out or have any issues with working up a sweat when you vacuum. The biggest problem is that Shark Lift away has a VERY LIMITED WARRANTY, we purchased this vacuum and three months later the motorised head stopped working, contacted the company who offered to sell us another… Read more

one as they felt that a head breaking after 3 months was normal wear & tear, no replacement, no repair and they couldn't care less about Australian Consumer Law as they are based in NZ.

In fact the ONLY THING that has 12 months warranty is the motor - it's a complete breach of the Australian Consumer Law but these guys don't seem to care. So essentially if anything breaks after 3 months they don't take responsibility, so BUYER BEWARE if anything breaks after 3 months you will need to buy a new piece so pretty useless as a vacuum - I will be going back to a Dyson in the next few months when all the components of this vacuum wear out.

Best I've owned – In 30 years of 'adulting', this has been the best vacuum I've used! It have great suction, easy to clean and maintain, quick and easy to use. Picks up the dog hair and cat fur and sucks all the fine dust and dirt from the carpet. Manoeuvrable and versatile. Takes up little room. Excellent vacuum!!  Show details

Perfect vacuum cleaner cannot fault it – Extremely happy with this purchase. Very good vacuum cleaner purchased from the TVSN. It's not very light however it is very easy to manoeuvre as it just drives itself. The headlights makes it easier to pick up dust from easy to miss areas.comes with many parts which is useful. Love the carpet brush which is so good at picking up dust from the carpets.  Show details

What a great all-round vacuum cleaner! – Having been unimpressed with our last vacuum cleaner (a Dyson) we went looking at options that would be good in terms of weight (for stairs), suction (pet hair) and good on both hard timber flooring and carpet. We found it and more! The Shark Rotator has 3 options in usage - as an upright, a pull-along or a hand-held. It comes with an incredible… Read more

amount of attachments so any task is covered and it has some great attributes we didn't even know to look for. E.g. It seems to virtually drive itself, it has headlights and a good storage capacity. The only thing missing is a retractable lead but all up we are extremely happy. Highly recommended.

Better then dyson – Can not be happier with my vacuume cleaner, I used the dyson first then used the shark over the same area, the shark still picked up dust etc. It can be used on carpet, tiles and floor boards no problem, it has multiple attachments, I use most if them, and find them all really handy! Easy to maneuver, not super quiet, but not many are. Very happy!  Show details

Shocking only had for 1 day – I run a business and this machine is the worst choice I made. Falls over when cleaning couches , have to go over the same spot on carpet to make sure all is picked up. Even worse on floors had out the wand even it won't pick up properly I have a dyson dc14 carpet and it's the best no issues fills up quickly strong 1600watts and no need to worry… Read more

about leaving dust/dirt behind. On another note they say SEAL technology . SHOCKING, started sneezing after use.

Worst decision I have made – Purchased Shark NV750 in May 2016.. I have had nothing but trouble with it , I have sent it back twice because of strange noises and burning smells in it , I am now waiting for it to be returned to me again...This company do not return phone calls or when I ring them they say they don't know anything.. They are very unprofessional...I have now had… Read more

to buy a backup vacuum cleaner as its obvious this brand and the company are not reliable .I have been left without a vacuum for 6 weeks now for the second time , I have a 4 bedroom house with carpet in every room..Do not believe anyone who says this vacuum is light ,its heavy to lift and tiresome to push around, and very loud , The suction isn't as great as they say...I will never buy a vacuum from companies like TV Shop ...Or this brand...

Love this vacuum!!! – The suction is amazing! Not quiet by any means but for its effectiveness I don't really care! Wouldn't say it's the easiest to maneuver in its upright form but it's flexible in it's modes of use so that u can find a way to get it to do almost anything you need it to! Excellent on all surfaces! My fave vacuum I've ever had!  Show details

the carpets and floors and with the flat attachment is superb at getting under my fridge, Freezer etc, The colour Scheme is also Pleasant. And to "press a button for easy lift away" is excellent thinking. Well done to everyone involved.
