Shark Navigator Upright Vacuum with Powered Lift-Away Technology

Willow: I have 2 Aussies (lots of hair everywhere) plus carpeted stairs. I had a used shark professional deluxe for 7 years (still worked perfectly) and loved the performance- suction was good as my tri star canister vacuum but this is better for stairs with the powered lift away. It picks up the hair and dirt and can get under my sofa and China cabinet. I do need to clean out the brush a couple times (1100 sq ft home) as hair wraps , but it is easy to do, no need to pull out roller and do it like with the shark rotator with the pet brush (I sent that back). It pulls off easily. It also has a handheld powered attachment that is good for upholstery and car seats/carpet, though rather small for stairs. The crevice tool is good for picking up hair and dust around things on tables, though my old small brush attachment was better at it getting the dust. All in all a great vacuum that picks up hair with really strong suction (you may need to dial it down) and a very effective power head… that detaches with the canister! Easy to empty and rinse out dust bin. Reliable product.

Soren M. Saggio: My old vacuum just wasn't cutting it any more on bare floors. It was just throwing stuff back at my feet and ankles and I was having to vacuum an area numerously to get the job done.

This Shark Navigator was SUPER highly rated on Consumer Reports and I knew it was time to put the old vacuum out to pasture.

The Navigator is bag-less, first time I've had a vacuum that was bag-less and I love it.
It works GREAT on bare floors and it has a little switch on the handle to go to "Carpet / Bare-floor" putting it on Carpet engages the roller and it does a wonderful job on carpets as well.

I have read some complaints about maneuverability of this vacuum. It has a swivel head... which albeit is a bit odd to use at first, you adjust rather quickly to it.

Any amazing feature of this device is that you can easily pull the storage canister and hose section off to CARY and do your stair without lugging the entire vacuum up with you.

Bottom line, this vacuum SUCKS.... in a good way. It is easy to use, quick to dump sediments you vacuum up, and very versatile. I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum and hope it lasts me for many...

hsokphilly: I was amazed at the amount of dirt and cat hair the Shark picked up on its first use. And the carpets were vacuumed less than a week before. I may come back and give it a 5th star after we've used it a few more times.

Kelly: Firstly : This is not a paid review. So you don’t have to scan for the magic words hidden in so many reviews. I love this thing for real.

I bought this vacuum 6 months ago and waited to see what I really thought. Amazing! I’ve killed 2 different $300 Dysons so I needed a better option & read up on Consumer Reports. Shark has one of the lowest breakage rates. I can see why. It has easy to open connections to clear blockage. The can is large capacity & catches larger objects in a 1st compartment.

Very easy to switch between hose, hard floor, carpet brush on the fly without turning off the unit. I have a huge great room in the country with two Great Danes & a husband who doesn’t take off his boots. I collect enough dirt & fur in a day to pot a plant in. We have wood floors with a few rugs, some stairs and large baseboard ledges. I can use the thumb switch on the handle to go from hardwood to rug without missing a beat. The hose detaches easily to run the baseboards, stairs, around dog beds. Nice feature of the hose is that you can use the extended long tube or the short tube handle - and you can use the short handle...
