Shark Navigator Lift Away Deluxe NV360: Best Tips & Tricks

Though it may not have the most beautiful design or the strongest performance in-class, the shark navigator lift away deluxe NV360 remains one of the most popular vacuum cleaners by far. It is affordable, so it naturally attracts far more users than expensive, premium models like Dyson stick vacuums. And for the price, the performance and feature set aren’t half bad.

Now that you got your vacuum, though, here are a few tips and tricks that you can use to improve your cleaning efficiency and get the job done quicker!

Take Full Advantage Of the NV360’s Lift Away Mode

The Lift-Away canister of the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe professional bagless vacuum NV360 is one of the biggest reasons why it’s become a best-seller.

With the Lift Away mode, you can detach the vacuum’s core canister from the rest of its body. In essence, you can convert the NV360 from an upright vacuum cleaner to a canister vacuum.

This mode makes the NV360 significantly easier to clean with, so take full advantage of it whenever you can. Detach the canister when you have to clean your carpeted stairs and the car. Use it to take out built-up cobwebs on the ceiling and for cleaning up dust on your bookshelves. There are many different cases for the Lift-Away canister.

But here’s the thing, though. Because the Lift-Away canister contains all of the vacuum’s most essential functions like the motor, dust cup, and filtering, the performance you get with using the canister versus the whole vacuum is similar. So, if you feel a little bit tired using the whole bulky vacuum, just use the detached canister to clean up the floors!

What to Do If The Vacuum Adopted A Bad Smell

Vacuum cleaners have to deal with a lot of stinky things, so it’s not uncommon for them to develop bad odors after some time. Knowing how to freshen up your vacuum is a good skill to have in order to keep your vacuum in its tip-top shape.

As expected, there are many different ways for your vacuum to get strange smells.

Dirty Filters

The first (and most common) way is because of dirty filters. Because the filtering system captures all of the particles— smelly or otherwise— and prevents them from getting back out into the environment, they can get stinky quick.

In this case, the fix is simple: clean them. According to Shark’s user manual, the pre-motor filters should be cleaned once every three months. Meanwhile, the HEPA filter can be used continuously for up to two years before needing to be cleaned out.

Of course, that is in the ideal scenario. If your vacuum smells bad, just clean out the filters no matter how long it’s been since the last clean-up.

Remove all of the filters from the vacuum and wash them all using lukewarm water. After that, let them dry for about 24 hours before placing them back into the machine. Do not attempt to use them before they’re completely dry.

Filled Dust Cup

The dust cup stores all of the dirt and debris so naturally, it can get smelly in there if you sucked up something foul. Thus, if you see that your dust cup is full, empty it immediately.

A word of advice: even though the vacuum is capable of storing several days worth of debris, you shouldn’t wait until the cup is filled up. Instead, make an effort to empty the cup after every cleaning session. It won’t just reduce the chances of the vacuum catching bad odors, it will also reduce clogs, among other issues, too.

Conclusion

Hope these small tips and tricks in this Shark navigator NV360 review has given you a better understanding of your new vacuum!

Until next time!
