Shark CU500 vs NV360 are products that may not be the most perfect but are suitable for the majority of consumers. They both have features that ensure both efficiency and convenience. Thanks to that, many people have a clean house without spending much time cleaning. Many customers have also commented very positively and highly appreciated on the platforms. I think everyone should take the time to understand how they work, whether it is true as others say or not.
What do people think about them?
Shark CU500 is gradually gaining sympathy from consumers because of its superior features that are suitable for many people. It is a product that works effectively on carpets and hard floors with many useful tools included. Each of its working sessions lasts quite a long time because the dust cup has a relatively large capacity. You can easily clean the dust cup and leave it ready for the next working session. In addition, the filter that I evaluated after testing is completely effective in preventing allergies for users, which I really like. The house is always shiny and clean, who wouldn’t like it?
Shark NV360 is one of the products I have experienced and feel really satisfied. It can sweep away dirt with brushroll shutoff to ensure that dirt cannot stick to the floor. Moreover, the dedicated HEPA filter continues to block allergens and does its job perfectly. In addition, this product has a relatively large dust cup and cleaning is not as complicated and difficult as I imagined. In particular, it is attached with four wheels to make moving much faster and more convenient.
Can you find common ground between these two machines?
These two products have been proven by many to have excellent features that everyone wants to own. First, these products both have HEPA filters to prevent irritants from escaping and causing adverse effects on the user’s health. Many customers with allergies also feel more comfortable when using them to work. Moreover, they both have convenient touch control methods along with push button controller type. In particular, according to my observation, both apply swivel steering to upgrade their responsiveness and completely satisfy users. I have used them and felt that they are completely light compared to their size and weight. In addition, they are heavyweight competitors in cleaning on carpets and hard floors, which I fully appreciate.
How to distinguish them?
After using both products, I still maintain the opinion that these are really worth the money. Why? Shark CU500 produces quite a low noise, only about 70 dB. Moreover, I tested and found that it uses Foam as the main filter despite the addition of a HEPA filter. Thus, it has enhanced its filtering ability with two useful filters. Meanwhile, Shark NV360 is measured to have a noise level of about 80dB, which is a little higher than the other product.
Regarding the brush roll, I also want to point out that they use different types that people need to pay attention to. Shark CU500 uses a self-cleaning brush roll to thoroughly handle hair or fur without wrapping like many other brush rolls. Meanwhile, Shark NV360 comes with a brush-roll shutoff to switch the working mode from carpet to bare floor. It is also similar to the fingertip control of the Shark CU500, but this product is mainly for hard floors instead of bare floors.
In particular, the Shark CU500 is orange, looks quite eye-catching, and has a fairly large dust cup, according to my test, it reaches 3.3 dry quarts. It explains why I feel like it works for a long time without having to stop to wash. The Shark NV360 has a 0.9-quart dust cup, also belonging to the type of machine with a large dust cup capacity that everyone should not ignore. This blue machine also has 4 more wheels for more convenient movement compared to its weight of 15.96 pounds.
What cannot be ignored is their included components, although not many but very necessary. Shark CU500 comes with a crevice tool, pet multi-tool, two tools for working in narrow areas and good hair collection that after using I found the corners of my house completely clean. Meanwhile, Shark NV360 also uses a crevice tool but has an additional upholstery tool to remove dust stuck around stairs and furniture. Each type is equipped quite carefully and fully so I am satisfied with the experience of these products.
Are they expensive to buy when they work so well?
In my opinion, these products are not as expensive as I initially imagined. For $149, you can get a super convenient Shark NV360. The Shark CU500 is also affordable for what it can do. I also received a 5-year limited warranty after purchase and if there is any problem, I can contact the hotline for advice and instructions on repair and return if necessary.
Conclusion
Honestly, I have had great experiences with these products. Low price, and outstanding features are the factors that I appreciate. Moreover, Shark CU500 got 5 stars even though it is a rookie. Shark NV360 is only about 4.4 stars but many people have bought it. So, choosing according to your needs is your task, and how to make it most suitable for your home.
