Pros

Cons

How to use a vertical vacuum cleaner

These appliances specializing in cleaning floors, furniture, curtains and carpets of homes, offices, and shops are also called “broom vacuum cleaners” as they have supplanted with remarkable efficiency the traditional brooms in the process of removal of dirt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the sliding force regulation?

The automatic sliding force regulation allows the Shark nv360 hand vacuum cleaner to be guided more easily with the same pleasant sliding force.

Can the Shark nv360 handheld vacuum cleaner also absorb water?

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Damp spots or larger puddles should be picked up manually before vacuuming.

What is the automatic start/stop system?

Similar to cars, the shark nv360 vacuum cleaner turns off when it is put in the park position, for example, to move chairs.

How to vacuum carpets

Vertical vacuum cleaners are particularly effective in cleaning carpets, rugs, and carpets (including welcome mats). They suck up the micro-particles of dust and other dirt residues (attached to the footwear, for example) removing them from the textile strands of the different carpets, using the wider head that exerts direct pressure on the fabric: for this, you will have to choose the maximum suction power offered by the model you have, drawing successive straight lines, just as if you were mowing the lawn of your garden, although, this time, indoors.

Start from top to bottom

A very useful advice on the use of these vertical appliances is to vacuum the room from top to bottom; that is, you start the cleaning process in the highest places (corners of the roof, lamps, fans, curtains) and go moving towards the upholstery of the furniture until, finally, dedicate yourself to the floor and carpets, which is precisely where most dust and environmental dirt.

The functionality of the removal hand-held vacuum cleaner

Particularly convenient are those models that come with a built-in removable handheld vacuum cleaner that allows you to access high-end places such as lamps, ceiling fans or corners of shelves or libraries and, with similar efficiency, to the cracks of your upholstery, furniture. This extractable hand vacuum cleaner has the peculiarity of containing the motor of the equipment, which gives it a wonderful suction capacity that gives you an enormous productivity in a minimum time of use.

The advantage of the long handle of the vacuum cleaner

Obviously, the suction power decreases once you return to integrate this removable part to the body of the equipment, although, on the other hand, significantly increases the comfort of the user, who is no longer forced to bend in any way to clean the floor, thanks to the diagonality during the operation that concentrates the effort in the head and not in the handle that manipulates who aspires at the moment.

The invention of the electric vacuum cleaner

Contrary to what is said, it was not the American industrialist William Hoover who invented this appliance, but the ingenious porter of a farm who sold the patent to the businessman for a scant handful of dollars at the beginning of the 20th century. What the clever Hoover did was to market that original portable electric vacuum cleaner on a planetary scale, developing it to the product you enjoy today in your home, making your life easier.

My final Shark NV360 vacuum review

Some reminders that will help you improve the effectiveness of your vertical vacuum cleaner: use this household equipment on a weekly basis, avoiding the accumulation of dust and other dirt residues. Remove and clean the filter and the heads immediately after finishing the aspiration process; in this way you preserve the suction capacity and the useful life of the equipment.
