Buy on AmazonAbout the Shark Navigator NV360
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is a corded upright. Its pre-motor filtration is a washable foam + felt filter pair under the dust cup — the filters that do the heavy lifting and need the most frequent care. A separate HEPA handles post-motor air.
On the NV360 the foam and felt filters stack beneath the dust cup and are fully washable. Replace them only when the foam crumbles or the felt tears. Don't confuse them with the post-motor HEPA behind the exhaust — different part, different schedule.
✓ Buying Advice
The foam/felt pre-filters are generic across Shark Navigator models, so aftermarket multipacks are excellent value and equal to the Shark part — confirm the listing names NV360. Keep a spare set for while one dries.
⚠ Common Mistakes
The NV360 mistake is washing the foam and skipping the felt disc under it — the felt is what clogs. The second is refitting either while damp, which strains the motor and smells musty.
