I have a Kirby Sentria 2, Rainbow E3 Black, Dyson D14 or D07? and a Shark Navigator lift away M# nv351-31.

The rainbow is by far the best on I have as my deep cleaner... or so I thought. I have this Shark that came from my grandma so it was free. I figured I'd give it a try and have been using it over the last few months. Is it just me or are these cleaners really as good as this one seems??

They're alright performers, but their anti-repair stance is shocking, and should frankly be illegal.

I didnt know anything about there anti repair stance. I dont find anything difficult to repair though.

What would be the best vacuum thats bagless... the ONLY reason I keep a bagless around is right now we have pets.

2 best bagless are shark and dyson.
If you clean filters empty collection bins and cleaning brush roll you will be fine.

Filters

It might also be helpful to have extra filters on hand so you’re ever waiting for a clean filter to dry.

I don't personally use bagless vacuums but if I had to use one today, these would be my options:

For upright, I'd use a ClearTrak.

For canister, I'd use a Kenmore 22614.

For cordless, I'd use a Dyson V8.

For central vac, I'd use a Vacuflo 760.

For wet dry vac, I'd use a Ridgid Smart Pulse 14 gallon.

Anyways with that being said. I'd say that while I'm not a fan of Sharks, they do work for what they are. Your model I'd say is actually one of their more decent models. If I had to use a Shark for my home, it'd be one of those. But overall, I've simply used better before. Though there are some situations where I'd only use a Shark or something that I wouldn't personally care about. My grandparents have a old mobile home at their ranch that's since been abandoned but still use it to store some stuff inside. It's always got rodent feces, dead flies, and things that I'd rather not want to know about all over the carpet. I know I wouldn't want to use any of my machines that I really like in there so I'd be perfectly fine with using a Shark for inside.

I find that Shark vacuums do clean fairly well. And the tools provided are not bad, not good but not as bad as some of the competition.

For me, keeping all those filters clean is a chore. If they would make a vacuum with good HEPA bags they would have a decent vacuum.

I hear many say they are not fixable, yet I have always managed to find parts for ones I have fixed for people. Now, motor and main pieces I have not tried to replace.

So much of our appliances today are throw away...and we wonder why climate change is such an issue.

aren't the Kenmore intuitions basically a HEPA bagged Shark?
