I've owned this NV501 for over 6 years. Recently a peice broke off (where the hose meets this L bracket) where without a 3d printer I could not replace. So glad there are "renewed" versions. Mind you I did buy a brand new Duo Clean M series shark and the NV501 performs way better for my situation. I have equal flooring with carpets and hardwood. My original NV501 had a wide floor attachment that made quick work of getting the hardwoods clean (must faster than sweeping). The suction power is just plain awesome. So i just replaced what was once broken and everything is good and easy to clean again! Keep in mind this renewed version DOESNT come with the attachment I am referring to so dont expect it but you can always buy it seperatly. These do come with some dings and scrapes as they are refurb but since you cant get these new anylonger this is the next best thing. Spent $500 on the newest and lastest from shark(Apex Duo Clean M), its great on the carpets, it is TERRIBLE on the hardwoods. I can feel debris on my feet after a clean vs this NV501. So the price is definitely right and performance as an all rounder vacuum is bar none the best! Read more
Love this vacuum! My grandma has one, and I liked hers so much I had to get one too! It works so much better than the cheapo Walmart one I have that sucks because it doesn't suck 😂. The attachments that come with this one are perfect for what I need it for in my apartment. The wand release is nice, and the reach is acceptional and I'm just under 5'3". I have cats, so it's very important that the suction is more than decent. The controls are super easy. The brush roll feature works great for what little carpet I do have, my door mats, and other rugs. Takes the cat hair right off! For my bedroom shag rugs I turn the suction down a bit with the brush roll, works great! I use this vacuum on all my floors though, without the brushroll feature on for laminate hard floors and tile. The brushroll seems to fling small amounts of debris on hard floors, but not enough to even complain if you choose to use brushroll on those style floors too. No funky smells coming from mine like in other reviews. We're all here on this one to save some money instead of buying brand new. Worth it!! It arrived quickly, was easy to put together, and I no longer dread vacuuming! I did find out the hard way that the brush roll feature is too rough for very soft foam gym tiles. It left a couple marks before I quickly turned that feature off. My bad. So don't do that. The lift away feature is convenient for stairs. Just watch which way the face is pointed when using attachments, have it face behind you. Otherwise it'll blow the hair and dirt around that you're trying to suck up. Sometimes I accidently move the suction dial while moving along and wonder where all the power went. User error 😅. It's fairly easy to clean the compartments and filters. Only thing that seemed sketchy was where the handle attaches to the wand. That part of the design could have been a little more solid, but despite my one concern while putting it together, it is holding up just fine. My grandma has had the same model for years, and hers is holding up great to regular use as well. I really can't say anything bad about this model, which is exactly why I bought it! ☺ 100% would recommend if you're considering it! Read more
Very nice to use, light Read more
Received without any of the attachments so I cannot say how well they work. Tracking says attachments due at my address on 10/17, took all of Oct. to resolve but the seller was responsive and polite. The vacuum on the other hand works great, it does have a strange squeak when I push it, hoping that doesn't turn into anything major. Like most vacs, things get caught around to "beater" so you have to check & clean that pretty often. I do not get the hard to push, it glides easily unless it's being used on thick loose carpet. Overall I'm happy with it, I like it 100% more than the Dyson I just purchased that won't hold a charge for over 3 minutes. No more battery powered vacs for me. Read more
It sucks! No it really does have a ton of suction. And it’s very functional if you need to remove a want to vacuum high shelving and trim. Works amazingly well pulling pet hair out of carpet and furniture. I do worry it won’t last long. It’s all plastic. We handle it very carefully, but so far so good. Read more
As good as new at a more affordable price! Read more
