Verdict
Now, it’s time to declare which is the best Shark Navigator.
Well, our Shark vacuums are worthy purchases considering the raw cleaning power, usability, and convenience. However, they are meant for different buyers.
Buy the Shark NV352 if you are on a budget. It tags along with the same cleaning performance the NV360 pack has. If you have hard floors, carpets, and pets, the Wide Pet Upholstery Tool and the extra 24-inch Crevice Tool will be a great boost in vacuuming pet hair.
The Shark NV360 is also a great purchase for those on a tight budget. It’s quite similar to the NV352 save for the new brushroll.
When it comes to the attachments, you’d want to buy this vacuum if you want to vacuum under and around appliances courtesy of the Under Appliance Wand. Besides, there is a Pet Hair Power Brush for picking up pet hair also. Just like the NV352, you can also rely on the NV360 to clean bare floors, and even carpets.

Thank you for the review! Vacuums look so massive. How do they clean tight places?
Richard Harrison
Thank you very much for your question! These Sharks have 11.5 in rollers. This is quite a miniature head for an upright vacuum and you can use it between pieces of furniture, cupboards, in corners and under the chairs. And both Shark NV360 and Shark NV352 feature Swivel Steering technology and can easily maneuver in tight spaces.

How do the brush rollers cope with long hair? Do they tangle?

Thank you very much for your question! If hair is common pollution for your home, you can choose any of these models. Shark NV352 and NV360 do not tangle short pet hair and long human hair. Rollers are easy to remove and clean.
