I’ve spent several hours of research, this is the Best Bang for the Buck. Do yourself a favor, buy it!!! Read the reviews later. I had not “vaccumed” my stairs in over 3 months as my DYSON DC33 died after several years. I did many hours of research and the Shark brands would be up there with Dyson in most comparisons. I was considering the Dyson Animal but it wouldn’t be less than $500, now Dyson is actual on sale for $350. Prior to writing this review after thorough research and also comparing the Shark Apex Duo Clean, I ended up with this one for $229, I was about to buy it for $279 and it won’t on sale next week. Anyhow just see how much dirt it picked up from the stair case. I only did about 7 of them and my dust-bin is super filthy. Although it might not me a fair comparison with the Dyson DC33 (that died) I’m certain it never sucked like this. This is the most powerful vaccum I have ever experienced. Now let’s talk about build quality, the accessories definitely feel inferior in contrast to a Dyson, so I don’t know about the longevity of this. I also did notice lot of reviewers complained about the pole or the main handle that goes behind the vaccum, that also is hollow and feels like it won’t last too long, but it works great I couldn’t be happier. In all honesty you do not need to spend $400-500. Some reviews say the Apex Duo Clean with 2 roller brushes doesn’t pick up as well as this. I’ve only tried the stairs, I will edit my review if needed. I will have to try on tiles/ hard floor.

Fairly good suction and lighter then most just needs a longer cord if you have larger spaces.

I purchase this product few years ago and still working great this item is great especially if you have pets. I love this vacuum cleaner. I’ll recommend this to people that has pets

Had a bissell that was horrible No suction, difficult to clean per hairs with! This Navigator shark pet vacuum is amazing! Great suction, easy set up, light, extended cord and accessories. Perfect price! Glad I purchased Shark! Does not disappoint if you have dogs!

I'm loving this vacuum it's the best one I had in a long time I would tell anyone to get this vacuum

I've had 4 Sharks vacuums over the years. The new remodeling of the hose and the hold downs are perfect. The release of the hose is also very good. The larger capacity of the removable tank is excellent. But I hate the wheels! the vacuum is so hard to push. The body drags on the carpet and I have berber carpet. The wheels make vacuuming difficult especially if the carpet has any kind of nap. I have had hip and knee surgery this last two years and it takes two hands to push the vacuum, and much effort. If you are handicapped in anyway this vacuum is not for you !

Both of my old Shark vacuums died within a couple months of each other. No complaints there, they served me well!!! So now I have 2 new Sharks. One thing I really appreciate about the new models is that there has been some thoughtful design change to reinforce where the hose connects to the pod. Thank You! My only complaint is that when I am vacuuming large area rugs with the Power/Surface switch set to “carpet” the machine gets an annoying hot smell. Doesn’t happen with the “hard floor” setting, no matter what the suction control is set to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum. I have 3 cats and a dog. So there is alot of hair to pick up. I was surprised that the suction is really good. I highly recommend this vacuum to pet owners who are Friend's and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Personally I love this vacuum so much. We have a couple of Maltese dogs, and with that comes lots of shedding! Most vacuums are unable to pick up the hair from these dogs, but this Shark is exceptional in gathering my dogs’ pesky hairs! Really! It is also easily maneuverable, and I found that it is not too loud, which is great, since my wife is remote teaching at present. Don’t hesitate to make your life easier with this awesome machine!
