    Shark offers different models for different stores. For example, Lift Away NV352E at Bed Bath & Beyond, but Lift Away NV352 at Amazon. They are the same unit, the difference might be the accessories they come with.

      Shark Navigator Lift Away since my 14 yr old Hoover quit working unexpectedly. This vaccum is amazing! I purchased at Bed bath and Beyond so I was able to also use the 20% off coupon. What a great deal. I didn’t realize how much my Hoover was not picking up until I used this vacuum.

      I brought the NV351 last night at WalMart.
      I am a little disappointed. Didn’t do home work, not the same as ad on TV.
      Can I buy the additional accessories for this model’ also cost and where?

      I bought shark lift away on woot a few months ago. It’s broke already. How would I go about getting it fixed. I think the motor burned up.
