  • Strong suction, hard floors and carpet options
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
I've had this vacuum for 6 months now and so far, its good. I purchased a few cordless vacuums but ended up disappointing me. Vacuums with cords are still unbeatable when it comes to power and suction. This is the best vacuum I ever purchased. Can be used on hard floors and carpets. Hair barely gets trapped in the brushes, which is one of the most common causes of vacuum breaking or going bad. My favorite part is how strong the suction is!!! This vacuum literally sucks ALL the dust/dirt on the carpet. I maintain and clean my floors and carpet on a regular basis, but when I tried this vacuum after receiving it, I GOT A LOT MORE dust even after vacuuming with my old vacuum. I love the dust/dirt compartment. Its enough space and super easy to detach and empty. I just love this vacuum. Only thing i wish they have is an attachment so I can effectively vacuum the stairs too. But overall, I 100% recommend. ... show more

  • This vacuum sucks!!! This vacuum sucks!!!
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
I literally threw away all of my old, tired, crappy-looking, filth-spreading brooms after buying this vacuum. It works great on carpets, area rugs, and hard floors, including my 113-year-old hardwood floors (no scratching!). It seriously makes your carpets look like they're brand new again. It is lightweight and easy to push on carpet, even on Maximum Suction power. Photos show the product fully assembled before using (omg, so shiny!!), plus the accessories it came with, then after using on my living room and one area rug in my dining room. The amount of dirt this thing picks up is disturbing, lol. I love the lift-away feature and the hose attachments for getting cracks/crevices and stairs! The filters are easy to access and clean, and replacements are reasonably priced. The upholstery tools work really well for pet hair! For reference, my husband and I both have VERY LONG hair, and we have a cat...so I have included a photo of the brush roll after vacuuming to show that it really works for long hair, too! This is the only vacuum I've ever owned that I didn't have to clean the brush roll after/during every use due to a tangled mess of hair caught in the roll. Seriously, buy this thing. You won't regret it. Just be sure to read and follow all the instructions for maintenence! ... show more

  • A mixed bag after a couple weeks of use
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
The suction is very good. Vacuumed just one room and it picked up as much hair, dust and dirt as the old LG model did in 3 rooms. Speaking of LG, all mine needed was a simple roller brush, only to find out they discontinued making it. Maybe a blessing in disguise, as the Shark self-cleaning roller brush is a great feature. Back to the Shark model: The self-cleaning roller really worked - inside the dust bin, the dust and dirt went into one chamber, and all the hair collected separately on the center cone and slid right off when I went to empty. The cord is too short, and it's placed too low on the machine, so it's a pain to move around, change directions, etc. It was constantly getting in the way. The swivel head is helpful and the lower profile gets further under some furniture than our previous LG unit could. Tried the Lift-Away on a few carpeted stairs, but will need the full power of the roller head to properly clean the stairs. The L-A feature is probably better suited for furniture. The hose clip is pretty useless. The hose disengages from the wand after a minute of usage. Not a big deal - as the hose doesn't really go anywhere once it's loose. All the other click-into-place connections seem secure. The unit is definitely lightweight - time will tell if it also proves durable? This was a sold & shipped by Amazon purchase. They lowered the "Limited Time Deal" by $20 right after I bought it. Hopefully Jeff Bezos will read this review and issue a $20 credit... ... show more

  • Hair free and carefree!
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
Absolutely the best vacuum I have ever owned. Pet hair and human hair have eventually destroyed every vacuum I’ve had in the past but the roller on this one really does stay hair free. I don’t know how it works but it does, so I’m extremely happy.

  • Better than the Dyson I returned
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
This vacuum is excellent. I accidentally ruined my other shark navigator vacuum that I had previously bought at Costco a few years ago. Decided to try the Dyson animal 3.0 and the suction was too strong to the point it didn’t clean as well as my shark vacuum and it hurt my back. Returned it for a shark vacuum they have currently at Costco but the suction was bad. Returned it and ordered this one because it seemed the closest to the model I had before. This one works better than my older one! Only complaint is the cord seems shorter but it’s fine. ... show more

  • Lightweight and Easy to Use
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
This is my second Shark vacuum. My first one lasted 20 years! Overall, it does a great job picking up dirt, and I like the ease of maneuverability and its ability to go over small rugs without grabbing the edges. It is lightweight, which is a nice feature for a senior adult. My last Shark was a Rotator, and it had more amenities--the features I will miss include lights in front and on the wand as well as a longer cord. (The cord length isn't too bad, just not as long as what I had.) Probably if I had bought one of the more expensive Shark vacuums, I would have had those things too, but I didn't. Anyhow, this one works fine. The suction is adjustable, which is nice for going over thick carpet. My previous vac had two carpet adjustments instead, but this works just as well. My old vacuum had a separate hard floor attachment which I rarely used, so I am glad Shark did away with that! This is more practical. ... show more

  • Great vacuum for animals that shed
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
I don’t think I have ever used a more effective vacuum. We have a German Shepard and three cats so the shedding is intense. This is the only vacuum that actually lifts all the hair out of our carpet. I had long hair and shed as well. Usually our vacuum rolls have to be cleaned after every use and this one, true to its promise, had no hair caught after using. If I could rate this 10/5 stars I would ... show more

  • Fantastic Fantastic
Style: Navigator Lift-Away w/Self-Clean Brush
I had been using an old dyson for many years. I actually broke it and decided to purchase a new vacuum. I was looking at the 300-400 dollar dysons to replace my old one. My wifes friend had mentioned the Shark brand. After reading reviews on various models and checking availability I chose this one. I saw several reviews of people complaining about the hair removal function not working as advertised and was a bit skeptical. I looked at all the pictures, read all the reviews. Saw people complaining about gears melting, hair clogging and in general were just not happy. I simply didn't care about the hair removal function because most of the time these are just gimmicks and are worth even paying attention to. That being said, I have two women in the house with long hair and an Australian Shepperd dog. We do not have a shortage of hair around the house. Bi-weekly we have to vacuum and sweep, vacuum the furniture and dust. We also live out in the country a bit so we deal with a good bit of dirt from the dog and the 4 year old boy plus daily traffic. As a Hardwood floor professional I have over 80% of the house hardwood and just our bedroom is carpet as of right now. It was one week between vacuuming and me "pulling the trigger" on purchasing a new machine and that includes shipping which was very fast (2 days). With all this said I purchased one of the cheaper models at I think 160 bucks. It arrived today and I was an eager beaver to say the least to start cleaning the house and rid us of all the dog hair. This machine is fantastic. I pulled more dirt out of our bedroom then I even knew was in there and am a bit humiliated on the volume that I found in the canaster. I pulled all the dog hair, the wifes hair and did not receive one single issue with clogs, wraps or tangles on the beater. These people that are experiencing these issues in my opinion either have one nasty house or are deliberately trying to make the machine fail. I am incredibly happy with my purchase, incredibly happy with the price of this unit, incredibly happy with the suction power, incredibly happy with the versatility , incredibly happy over all with this unit. I has the option to be a hand held short unit for the sofas and has the option to be very long to reach the corners of my ceiling or even just standing straight up and vacuuming baseboards. Its a quality built machine. If my opinion on this machine mattes at all it is a bargain and I do not regret saving 250 dollars at all. usually you get what you pay for, with this machine, you pay a very reasonable price and get much, much, much more! UPDATE: Still feel the exact same. After several washings on the filter, purchase extra for a change at least once a year. I’ve managed to get 2 years out of the factory filter set but they need replaced with new now. Machine still does a good job. ... show more
