Bissell force bagged. 60$ Hoover complete performance. 130$ Kenmore intuition. 175$ Kenmore 400 canister. 220$ You don't need a sale for a decent cheap vacuum. Just get HEPA bags for it. Bagless blows. Get a Kenmore if it's in your budget. Just don't get a bagless as a main vacuum!

My family has been using this exact model since 2019. We have two young children, three cats, and a German Shepherd, and we live out in the country where there's lots of dirt and dust from surrounding farmland. I love that it's bagless. Emptying it takes ~15sec, so I empty it regularly. Because I empty it regularly, performance is pretty much always peak. The inline HEPA filter performs well according to an air quality assessment we had professionally done in our home last year. With our previous vacuum that used bags, I found myself waiting until they were full because they cost money and I didn't want to waste them. So performance was always suffering.

I also like that this vacuum is easy to take almost completely apart and clean. Because it's easy to do, I actually do it (a couple times a year), and because I actually do it, it still performs as well as I remember it performing new. That's something I haven't experienced with previous vacuums.

We also have a handheld Shark cordless and a Dyson V7 cordless, but I never use them as the NV360 is in a different league in overall performance. Just my 2¢.

Imo because bagless doesn't compress the dust like a bagged vacuum. You will spend a lot of time emptying the canister vs once every 2-3 months with bagged

Also these sharks are known to micro warp eventually and leaking dust back into your home

thanks, will keep an eye out for the bagged version when it comes on sale

Need something with a wider foot(wider brush?) to cover large area quicker. This is on the small side

As a cat dad of three, it's the best vacuum I've ever owned. Had a refurbished one in my Amazon cart at $124.99 and almost pulled the trigger last week. Buying a second one now for our carpeted basement.

Think they meant to write "cat dad", but I did just google "cad dad" and apparently that's actually a thing, because, of course it is...

I have had this vacuum for a few years. It works great on pet hair. It performs much better on carpet than hard floors.

That's what reviews say. Who doesn't have hard floors these days? I'll pass.

Its bc the long hair gets tangled around the roller. You got to use scissors every few times and cut it. Bit icky pulling it out but otherwise straightforward.

This is without self cleaning brush roll. its cheap for a reason.

What does self cleaning do? unclog the beater bar itself?

basically theres metal spikes that break hair as the bar spins so it never gets clogged with hair.

Do you have a lot of carpet in your home?

I have a $400 shark and hate it. I used to have a Dyson and going to replace it this black Friday. Shark air filtration is the worst. Filters are junk and need to be washed every week and replaced often.

So you're going back to Dyson? Which model?
