Question 1

What is the difference between the Shark NV356E and the Shark 360?

Accepted Answer

Hi Madeline. I did a brief review of the nv356e at the Amazon site, compared to the 360 (which I own). The 356e claims to have a 9.5" vacuum path, while the 360 is 11". The 360 is 15 or so lbs, the 356e is 14 lbs. It appears the technology and mechanical functioning of the models are nearly identical. Attachments are also similar. I own two of the 360s, which I bought from Target. I'm very happy with them.

Question 2

We have only had our vacuum for a few weeks, and it smells like dog when we turn it on. What can we do??

Accepted Answer

I have two dogs and two Shark vacs (one vac is for indoor carpet and the other is several yrs old used for the gross screened, muddy porch room). My vac recs: I remove and wash the filters after every vacuum; (agreeing with other posters re: baking soda, which absorbs odors) I sprinkle baking soda on my carpets pre-vac every two weeks; I also immediately empty the dust bin after each use. Maintenance:  I wipe down the dust bin with vinegar & water (spray on a towel, wipe it out, then wipe again with water-only damp towel) and the gasket seals with water/alcohol (same process as H2O/vinegar) once every month or two then pop in a bit (approx 2TBSP) of baking soda when dry; I dump that baking soda after a day or so. That sounds time consuming, but I can do both in 5 minutes while watching t.v. As for the filters, if you crack open your vac and take a peek, I bet you'll be surprised at how dirty the filter is after a single use...and, like a car, anything with a motor should not run with a clogged filter. Either way, I'm not rich, and I intend these to last without stinking, so I put in a clean filter after each time I vacuum.
So, I have spare filters galore, amazing suction on my old "outdoor" Shark, and neither ever smells like old dirty dog even when my dogs are old and dirty.

Question 3

is the shark navigator lift-away delux self propelled?

Accepted Answer

ANY vacuum with a beater brush can be adjusted to be easier to use on the carpet. Start with the cleaner on the carpet you want to clean, with the head raised as high as it will go. Turn it on and start to lower the brush head slowly, one click at a time. You will hear the tone change when the brush makes contact with the carpet. Drop it one or two more clicks until you hear the tone of the brush head get noticeably lower as it pushes hard against the carpet. Then take it back up one click. That will be an optimal height for cleaning and the brush head will actually help propel the unit as you clean; more of an assist vs. self propelled.

Question 4

Does the pet hair power brush actually spin when it comes in contact with upholstery?  Others just stop spinning when they touch resistance.

This vacuum in 2019 does NOT come with the pet attachment. It just has a flat upholstery attachment that doesn't rotate.
