The NV151 Navigator Swivel Pro is a mid-range upright that balances maneuverability with a high-torque 1200-watt motor. The chassis is built from ABS and polycarbonate, offering impact resistance for daily household use. This model features a fully sealed system with HEPA filtration, which is designed to trap 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum rather than releasing them back into the room.
Specifications indicate an 11-inch cleaning path and a swivel neck that allows for a 25-degree lateral tilt. This articulation helps the vacuum navigate around furniture legs with minimal effort. While the unit is powerful on carpets, it does not have a self-cleaning brushroll; therefore, manual maintenance is required to cut away hair wrap to keep the agitation effective.
- The included Pet Power Brush is turbine-driven and uses the vacuum's airflow to spin a small brushroll for cleaning upholstery.
- A 12-foot total reach with the hose and wand helps with cleaning ceilings and stairs.
- The large-capacity dust cup is designed for easy bottom-emptying to minimize contact with debris.
When using the hose on stairs, it is recommended to keep the vacuum base on a stable step to prevent the unit from toppling. For those who want the same brand but need a self-cleaning brushroll to manage heavy pet shedding, the Shark ZU503AMZ provides an upgraded floor head.
Comprehensive home cleaning is supported by the varied features found in the upright and canister vacuums category.
