> 3 dayI have it four stars because it is absolutely crazy I cant find manufacturer attachments to this. It comes with two fairly worthless attachments. I went to the official Shark site and they have none for this machine. Really!?! Had to order a generic set with an adaptor that is next to useless. The good part is that it works really well on the rugs. I had to wonder after I vacuumed all my rugs if I had ever vacuumed. Unbelievable what came up. It might be a bit heavy for those on the weak side. The lift away function is fine. The hose is a bit short so that helps. Seems like the cord is on the short side as well, at least compared to my previous vacuumed. Overall, good, except for the attachment aspect. Thats idiotic.

> 3 dayThis is my favorite vacuum ever. My only complaint is the hose is kinda short and doesnt stretch much. It finally killed mine. I guess after 3 years of heavy use, I pulled on the hose too much and it broke. Theres a big hole in it now. Im just going to buy another though!

> 3 daySo my previous vacuum was a tiny dirt devil cordless handheld vacuum. It was bad, very bad. It barely could suck things up that were big or small and it was horrible for spot carpet cleaning. I have seborrheic dermatitis - if you dont know what that is, think dandruff, but its on other parts of your face, and the dandruff thats on your head is 10000x worse. My computer chair is on top of a short pile carpet that is 10+ years old. Normally simple vacuums should be able to grab whatevers in the carpet and suck it up, but if youve ever dealt with flakes from seborrheic dermatitis, they look practically INVISIBLE on certain colored carpets, and even on short pile carpets they sink into the bottom layer of the carpet. This is bad because it makes it very difficult to vacuum it up, and over time those flakes disintergrate into tiny dust particles, and guess what that is food for? You betcha, DUST MITES. I would ritualistically vacuum the area around my computer table but I knew I wasnt quite getting to what was the actual problem. At first I was going to get a cheapo $60 Eureka one that I saw online, but then I thought about it - why not just get something thats a little bit more expensive but not Dyson levels of expensive and is just as powerful? Thats where this came in. Assembly was straightforward, instructions were clear. Plastic felt a bit on the brittle side for everything, but that seems to be the general case for most modern products. Hooked everything together, turned on the vacuum and DANG it was strong. I had a hard time pulling the vacuum off the carpet. Fortunately, unlike some of these other reviewers *I read the instructions*. This happens on short pile rugs and carpets - this can be easily remedied by reducing the suction through the suction ring thats near the handle. Counter clockwise for less suction, clockwise for more. You will hear an air leaking sound - THIS IS NORMAL. This is a pretty cheap and easy way for the vacuum to reduce suction - and you dont have to adjust it too far - I would say a 1/6th turn was enough to reduce the suction so I could move it around comfortably without feeling like Im fighting with the vacuum. After I cleaned the area in question - the dust cup was already HALF FULL with dust. And it wasnt the typical dust youd see from the top layer of the carpet - this thing picked up what looked like extremely fine powdered sandy/colored stuff. It was obvious that it was the flakes that have dropped from my head that got pulled into the bottom layer of the carpet. Now Im sure a standard old school canister vacuum could do the same thing and my lack of experience with vacuums is just overplaying my experience, but as you can see from the other reviews here, people who have used other vacuums before can attest to the fact that this thing is *REALLY STRONG*. Bang for buck high power for its price. Also Amazon has a payment plan thing you can use which makes the bite required to buy this hurt less as well. Another thing the manual will warn you about - the vacuum is not stable upright - lean it against the wall or around items that can support just in case it tips over or find some straps to keep it secured against.

> 3 dayThis vacuum works great! I have a cat and she sheds profusely! I needed a vacuum that would suction all the hair and this is it! It has the detachable stick that I cleaned the spiderwebs from high areas. I love it! 10/10 highly recommend.

> 3 dayMy professional models hose cracked so I replaced my navigator with this. This new one is not as powerful but it does a pretty good job. I should have spent the extra money and got the same model as before because my carpets always looked good. I could change the suction power for my rugs and this new one I cannot. Learn from my mistakes and go professional if you have animals.

> 3 dayThis vacuum is absolutely spectacular! Whoever designed it deserves an engineering medal. PROS: -Clear simple instructions and easy assembly -Suction is INCREDIBLY strong and is adjustable?! (super cool! and works!) -Lift away feature is EVERYTHING. I swapped back and forth multiple times and it was SOOOO convenient. -Washable filters. -Upholstery tool works! We have two high shedding doggos. Took a little elbow grease for some embedded hair but absolutely got the job done. I like that it doesnt have bristles since all that does is trap hair and creates one more thing to clean. -Everything from the canister clips, canister handle, release buttons, to the power button, are well placed, well shaped, and work! Even the clicks of pieces being connected is clear and slick. CONS (barely) -Weighs a little more than you might expect, wouldnt recommend for elderly folks (although putting it on a rolling cart could solve that) -Wouldnt reach vaulted ceilings from the floor. Perfect for regular ceiling height (Although if youre super short you may still need a boost). -Accessory attachment hindered from getting the wand as far under some furniture as I would have liked and couldnt seem to wriggle the holder off once it was secured on the wand. Super minor and you could choose to not put it on. This thing really blows me away. It just...WORKS! LOVE LOVE LOVE AND LOVE SOME MORE. ❤️

> 3 dayI just purchased my second shark vacuum. Theres no other vacuum I will use. A friend gave me a Bissell and I havent even put it together. This vacuum will pick up dirt, leaves and stickers better tracked in to the house as well as hair and cat fur. Its by far the best vacuum I have ever used and wont use any other.

> 3 dayI have been looking for a heavy duty vacuum cleaner for a while and I have found it. This vacuum cleaner is awesome. I have two dogs and my house gets pretty dusty with dog hair. I used this vacuum cleaner as soon as it was delivered and it picked up one years worth of dust from the carpet that was not picked up by my previous lame vacuum cleaner. Carpets smell so clean after using this vacuum cleaner, I am very happy with the purchase

> 3 dayI bought a shark vacuum a few years ago and was completely amazed at what it picked up! Im a regular vacumm-er and thought my carpet was clean, but, after seeing what this picked up, I was a believer! I bought his one for my mother. She was using a dyson for years. I brought my Shark over to her house and picked up SEVERAL CANNISTERS of crud! She had to have one after that. Its light and easy to use, it pivots well in tight spaces and can get around awkward areas easily because it twists so well. I love it and will never use another vacuum brand other than Shark again!
