Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150 Review
Thank you for checking out my review of the Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150 Vacuum Cleaner. We bought this to replace our last Shark vacuum cleaner and I wanted to share my thoughts.
I will add this disclaimer before we start. I am a huge fan of the Shark Ninja family of products, so I do have a little bias. But that is mainly because of the quality and efficiency of the Shark Ninja products that I own.
When looking for a vacuum cleaner I have always looked for 2 things. First is the quality of the vacuum cleaner. And second is the cost. I, like so many others, don’t have unlimited funds so I don’t need to have to replace my vacuum every few months.

With that said, I do own pets so I need something that will pick up the pet hair rather well. That is one of the biggest reasons I stick to the Shark brand.
This is my third Shark Navigator in 15 years. And I have to say that none of them have ever quit working for me, just every once in a while I like to get an updated model.
That is where the value really means something to me. If I can spend less than $200 on a vacuum cleaner every 5 to 10 years, I believe I have got my money’s worth.
I mentioned quality as one of the factors of choosing a vacuum cleaner. The Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150 doesn’t disappoint.
It is light weight, but sturdy. So moving it up and down a flight of stairs isn’t like hauling a small car around. And it is durable enough that I don’t have to worry about it breaking.
Now comes the biggest question. Does the Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150 work very well? The answer to that is an astounding yes.

As I have said, we own pets. 5 cats to be exact. So there is plenty of cat hair that can gather around our house.
The next thing is our house has 3 floors and only the top floor is carpeted. So why would I need a really good vacuum cleaner then? Well the Shark not only works on carpeted floors, but also on bare wood floors.
We generally vacuum our house twice a week. And each time we empty the canister on the vacuum a minimum of twice. That is not because it is so small, it is because it picks up so much dirt and hair.
And why don’t we just sweep the bare floors? That is a good question. We have actually tested to see which works better, sweeping or vacuuming our bare floors. And hands down, vacuuming is much more efficient.
It not only picks up more cat hair than a broom will. But it also puts a lot less dust in the air. And with the crevasse and furniture tools, we get places that the broom cannot.
I would be lying to say that there are no cons to this vacuum. And there are 2 main things that I would like to be different.
First, unlike a lot of the Shark family. You are not able to remove the main body from the vacuum. So having the lift-away feature would be nice.
And second, there is no headlight. So if you wanted to go cruising through town at night, you may actually get pulled over.
What are people saying about it? Well I purchased my vacuum at Walmart, and according to their site the Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150 has 4.6 stars out of 5.
There is also another really good review at Best Vacuum Guide detailing there reasons to purchase this unit.
If you are looking for a really good vacuum I would recommend the Shark Navigator Swivel Pro NV150. With the Shark technology it is hard to go wrong. This is a very good vacuum cleaner at a very reasonable price.
