Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this Shark to replace my Dyson which I had for years (and put through some heavy duty cleaning -- I still have it as a backup). The Shark is powerful and cleans very well. It's strong and pretty lightweight. Converting it from an upright to a carry canister is a cool feature -- but it's a bit heavier than I expected. Emptying the canister and cleaning the filter is pretty effortless. I took off a star for two reasons: the accessory holder (tools fall out during cleaning) and I like the manueverbility and (tool accessibility) of the Dyson a tad bit more.

I finally threw in the towel and gave up on cordless vacuums. I just never could get the proper suction and cleaning power that I was looking for. I went out on a whim and bought this from Best Buy on a deal and it is by far the most powerful vacuum I have ever owned I could almost give it a slight downgrade for having too much suction as it's a little difficult to maneuver it on my thick rug in the living room as far as what I bought it for to remove a pet hair out of my rug and off of the couch. It does a flawless job. It's a little loud, but that's to be expected with the amount of suction this thing has it is definitely a powerful machine.

Omg!!! This Shark vacuum works fantastic! Easy to empty canister, flexible hose for cleaning with the wand end, incredible suction power, quiet and small enough to easily clean under furniture and small areas. Highly recommend. Great bang for the buck!!

A few years ago I bought a Dyson but I end up giving it away once I moved & didn't have carpet any more. When I bought my new home with over 1500sqft of carpet, I spent a couple of months trying to decide between spending so much on another Dyson or risk buying something cheaper and risk getting less quality. After ready over 200 reviews & gettting references from multiple associates, I chose this Shark. This vacuum is very lightweight, has excellent suction, & is very easy to empty & clean.

Great power. I love the fact that the entire agitator brush assembly, including the motor, is a separate unit. The motor directly drives the brushes. No worries about belts anymore. It has quite a bit of suction for its size and cleans carpets and tile very well. I was a bit worried about the smaller vacuum head, thinking it would take longer to vacuum, but the fact that it is so powerful and efficient, it actually cut down the time, plus the head fits into tighter spots.

Overall, this vacuum works well. The suction is good, and it's effective on both carpet and bare floors. It comes with a good set of accessories, including a mini beater bar cleaner and a long, flat bar for cleaning under appliances. The vacuum part detaches from the base to make a light weight handheld portable that's handy for stairs or the car. It's a solid 4 1/4 stars. Here's what keeps if from being 5 stars: (1) it feels kind of flimsy. Nothing has broken yet, but it just doesn't feel really solid. (2) The dirt catcher bin is very small. You have to empty it after every use; in a larger house, you might have to empty it halfway through. (3) The latches on the dirt bin are fiddly; they don't latch as tightly as they should. So far, it's good for the price.

My old Shark finally died after many years of use and this one being a little smaller but with the hose and anti-allergen was what I picked to replace it. It is liter, the attachments are a little smaller and not as many but I never used the other attachments for my older Shark. This one does very well and has plenty of power around the area that I'm using it. I took it out to the garage to vacuum my car and it was nice and not as bulky as the previous model. Hopefully it will hold up and last as many years as the previous model

I like this vaccum so much I bought another one when it finally broke. I have cats and they leave a lot of fur and dander around. This really cleans up the fur nicely and it's light enough and I love that it detaches for higher surfaces. For how much work I put this vacuum through, it was worth every penny!

it has done an amazing job of being versatile and thoroughly cleaning the carpets let alone with suction power! It is lightweight and moves around easily with leads to much less weight for you to pull around and less strain on your spine. It comes with two attachments that are very useful. My only caveat with this machine is that it doesn't come with a fancy feature where when you press on the button, the cord automatically winds up inside the vacuum. But overall it's a great vacuum for my apartment!

I don't personally use the thing, but I can tell you that when my wife is using it I no longer hear the "discouraging words" that came from her precious lips when using our previous vacuum machine (and it was LOUD!). Light-weight, she is able to navigate and clean the staircase with ease. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a down-shedding cockatiel, and our carpets look GREAT lately. Since it is so light and easy to use, my wife uses if more often (no longer a burden to vacuum) and she has actually bragged to me and our neighbors how much she loves this machine.

Great workhorse of an appliance. Very easy to maneuver not heavy and moves very smooth and easy, especially on carpet. The cleaning quality is also fantastic I can see a noticeable difference on vacuumed areas of carpet and areas of carpet that have not been vacuumed. Suction quality is strong, so I don’t find myself having to pick up or feed the vacuum trash. It’s usually one pass, instead of going over the same spot many times. Because of its size and weight it doesn’t take up a lot of storage space. It was easy to assemble and was ready for use in no time. Pricing was great and budget friendly. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone wanting a good, reliable, easy to use appliance.

This lightweight vacuum does a great job for general cleaning, even stairways, and has the power to pick up pet hair and paper shreds, the biggest headache at our house. It does a great job on carpet, rugs and bare floors and is a great value.

The advantages of the Shark Navigator are as described in the name of the machine. It is light weight, narrow, bends low, and therefore can be used by a human being in a real world of rooms and stairs with carpets to be vacuumed. The lift away part is very practical where the whole machine need not be hauled up and around to clean objects that need no application of the beater brush. The attachments are small and handy for most purposes. The 'bagless' part is not so pleasant and never is. Why not use a bag and just neatly, cleanly, dump it and its contents? Rather than the dust and junk of emptying all the loose dirt, hair, and grossness out of the canister?

I don’t like vacuuming but not so much with this vacuum. It does a great job on my hardwood and two different types of carpet and is really easy to use. Which is great because, like I said, I hate vacuuming.

This sweeper is lightweight and easy to use. Picks up great. I just wish the hose and extensions were longer, it falls over a lot when I try to use extensions

I just love the suction of it. Directions were easy to follow and put together. You can disconnect it carry it to clean your stairs. The filter easy to clean. Just perfect, purchase one today!

Good looking vac, with lots of power/suction. The lift away part is bulky when trying to vac under furniture. It is versatile with many attachments. This is the second Shark Lift-Away I have bought, and the older one is still being used. Light, quiet, and easy to maneuver around furniture. Filters are easy to keep clean, and reusable. Dirt catcher is easy to remove, empty, and durable. Cheaper made than Dyson, but half the cost. If you take care of the vac, it will last.

Strong suction, cleans both carpets and hard floors very well. The lift-away design is convenient and it offers great value for the price.

This vacuum is light weight, and even swivels, like a Dyson, while you're vacuuming! The hose extends to a decent length, even though I would prefer it to have a little longer reach. It picks up well on bare floors without blowing everything around. It's surprisingly powerful, and sucks up dirt and pet hair with ease. And it is very convenient to see inside the reservoir, and dump it when its full. We primarily use it on the couch and area rug, it suits us just fine!

I have only owned for a month but so far I am impressed with how well this vacuum works for the price. It has really great suction, better than my previous Dyson. It is light weight and the canister is easy to dump. My only complaint, if I had one, would be that it would be nice if it had a little wider path. I would recommend this product for sure. I guess time will tell more.
