Shark LA300 Navigator Lift-Away ADV Upright Vacuum - Corded, Powerful Cleaning for Your Home

Kristin Price: Thought being so cheap it would make a great 2nd floor machine. It's actually just as powerful as my Shark Pro. Great purchase.

Rah: UPDATE review w/in a few months.
The roller stopped working, slips. Will come on then turn off.
This is the 2nd shark I bought. Loved the first one, this one sucks.
No response from the manufacture. Not happy!

I have to say, the vacuum has great suction. Unfortunately pushing and pulling across a thick carpet is a chore! I have a large area rug and the suction makes it hard to push and pull. It is top heavy so the turning head swivels too far.
Not sure I can return it, I did not keep the box it came in.

C: Shark owner for many years and needed a vac for my downstairs level. I also got tired of hauling my regular Shark up & down the stairs. This renewed model isn't the top-of-the-line but it works great so far and it looks brand new. It handles hard floor to tile areas to fairly thick carpet and throw rugs. I do miss the powered "drive" and some other things I have on my higher-end vac... but the nice deal I received on this unit, it's very good condition & overall performance, balances out what I miss. I also appreciated the secure packaging for transit. The 'back-saver' motivation was achieved in a good way, so a credit to the renewal dept. is happily given in my case.

Glamazon77: My quest for the perfect vacuum has finally reached its end. My standards are insanely high, as I’m a little OCD, and I expect a lot from a vacuum.

This vacuum has GREAT suction, a narrow head (which I really like because it can get into the corners without having to move all of the furniture all the time), excellent maneuverability, is super lightweight, and does stairways better and more easily than any vacuum I’ve ever had. I have a lot of stairs in my condo, so this was important. It’s also actually the lightest Shark that I’ve encountered (and I tested 8) so I was shocked at how thorough its cleaning was. Vacuuming my home has never felt so effortless. It has the lift away feature, which basically turns it into a canister vacuum that you can carry around if desired. Its design is pretty and sleek. Dumb to mention that maybe, but aesthetics matter to me. There’s no reason an appliance can’t be pretty and also high functioning.

Also, I test drove it first, before two other contenders, and the other two vacuums (including a Dyson), picked up hardly anything on their subsequent runs, which means that it didn’t miss much.

A few...

armaraas: My elderly parents needed a new vacuum. Wanted to get them something decent that had HEPA filtration, easy to use, lightweight and not terribly expensive. This fit the bill as an option to get a vacuum at a decent price without having to step down to a lower quality item. I know refurbished can be a bit daunting as you do not always know what you are getting. However, this one turned out to be a win. The only issue we had was when turning it on, there was a slight fragrance. I have family members who are odor sensitive. I am not exactly sure what the fragrance was, but it was a familiar scent I've smelled in department stores before. The sponge filter looked a bit dirty, like the vacuum was used a couple of times/tested with it in. So I went ahead and ordered new filters and just swapped them out, and the smell dissipated.

After testing it out at home, brought to my parents house and showed them how it works. It has more features than they'll probably need, or even remember. For a vacuum, they thought it looked sharp. But it moves easily, and is picking up dirt off the floor way better than their old vacuum. Everyone is happy. Unless they're not, and just...
