Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most importantly this vacuum is light and easy to use. Secondly, it is powerful and does an excellent job.

Great suction! Light and easy to move around. Attachments work great on stairways.

The weight is fine. It is very easy to use. It only has 2 extra attachments. I would've loved an attachment with brushes on it for dusting blinds, curtains, and upholstery. Besides that, I only wish it had a light on the front of it for dark areas. I use it for cleaning properties we prep for renting and commercial carpets after we work in the area.

I love my new Shark Navigator vacuum! It has a ton of suction power and is so easy to use. My favorite part of this vacuum is being able to "lift it away" from the base. It makes it so easy to clean in hard to reach spots. Great accessories, very light, and surprisingly powerful. Overall its an excellent value, highly recommended!

Joking aside with the summary, this is an excellent vacuum cleaner. I knew my old vacuum wasn't that good but the shark literally picked up 3 to 4 pounds of dirt and carpet fresh the first time. After that it deep cleans every time with the strong suction. Great vacuum for the price.

Good suction and easy to empty. Glad there are no bags to mess with.

The vacuum (floor and hose) both have good suction. However the main reason I bought this vacuum was to use the hose to get into hard to reach places, do window blinds, and especially clean the webs dirt and bugs out of my window sills and UNFORTUNATELY the hose doesn’t stretch very far nor will it fit in tight spaces, and the only two accessories that came with it don’t help with windowsills. I needed the one that looks like/has a moustache. I looked online and I can buy a Shark extension piece to make the hose longer and hopefully get into tighter spaces, and can also buy a moustache that may work but its going to cost me another $50+ dollars. I’m disappointed it wasn’t included and feel like I should’ve just bought a different vacuum altogether.

I was originally going to get one of the D brand vacuums but had been hesitant because of the price. Then I saw some reviews of this (search for the wirecutter review) and decided to give it a shot. I am not disappointed! It has great suction - I am a amazed at how much it picks up. That is probably the only minor downside - it is so good at picking up dirt that you will need to empty it just about every room, fortunately it’s easy to do. Haven’t used the lift away feature yet, just regular vacuum and the hose. I can’t see buying the D brand when this is so good, and for the price of the D brand I can get one of these for each floor of the house. Overall very happy with this purchase.

I rarely write reviews but this vacuum deserves praise. I had a Dyson for years so the bar was high. I couldn't afford another Dyson this year so had settled on either a Hoover or Bissell. The store attendant tried to convince me to go Dyson. When he accepted I wouldn't go there he pushed the Shark. I wasn't really interested as I had had a Shark hand held which I despised but the kid said his grandmother had this Shark model for 4 years and loved it. Not sure I believed him but it wasn't much more than the Hoover I had investigated. So glad I took the leap of faith. I would say its suction and cleaning of my immense amount of dog hair is on par (possibly better?) than the Dyson - at about half the cost. I haven't had a chance to try all the attachments but it came with several more than the Dyson which is exciting. The one criticism I have is the collection cup doesn't empty as cleanly as the Dyson's - hardly a big deal but the way it's designed you sometimes debris gets lodged between the wall of the container and an inner piece of plastic. I simply take a pencil and push it free.

Shark is fantastic. If I were to rank the top it would be a tie between Dyson and Shark. The great thing about this unit is how light the unit is and how smooth it gets the job done. Highly recommend anyone with a multi level home especially on vacuuming stairs. Plus you get it for over half the price of a comparable Dyson unit!

The Shark Navigator Lift Away deluxe upright vacuum is an excellent choice, great suction, light weight and easy to empty.

This vacuum is awesome, especially for varied surfaces if you have pets. Great suction as well. I used it in my car which is usually a pain to get all the pet hair off but this vacuum was great. I love that it's light and you can disconnect the unit and carry it around for hard to reach areas. Overall great purchase!

The item arrived quickly and is is exactly what I ordered. It works great and is lightweight and has great suction. This is my 3rd Shark. I feel they are reasonably priced for the quality of the product. You can’t go wrong with a Shark.

Love my Shark Navigator! Amazing suction and equally good on carpet and hard wood floor. The attachments and detachable canister make it each to do steps, small areas, and furniture. It sucks up my dog and cat hair, as well as dust and dirt better than any vacuum I have ever had. Plus it is self propelled, and this makes the job even easier.

This vacuum works great and does everything it’s supposed to. I love it! So light and versatile, easy to use, easy to dump out dust after using, not too loud. I do wish the cord was a little longer and the body maybe a bit wider to get more done at a time. But totally into it!

Easy to put together and take apart for cleaning. Great suction and is lightweight. I like the washable filters which helps save money.

I bought this vacuum a year ago. I use it on carpet and hardwood floors. My house is small (1.2k sq ft) but it works very very well. If you have a larger space you may want something with a larger tank. I usually dump my tank out at the end of every use (honestly it’s kind of satisfying) but it’s very thorough!! I love the filters for dust. I def recommend this product.

Having purchased "the cheapest one they have" for many years, I have gone through many vacuum cleaners. Moving into our house and putting in brand new carpet made me want to invest in a vacuum cleaner that was going to keep it looking new. The Shark Navigator has amazing suction and the swivel head makes it so simple to maneuver. It was simple to assemble and is small enough to tuck into our cleaning supply closet without causing clutter. The bucket is easy to clean out and I love that I can lift the hose suction and carry it with me to clean high up. My main complaint about this vacuum, which is mostly a quality of life complaint, is that it does not have an automatic cord return.

The best vacuum I have ever used!! I love that the handle is removable to easily get cracks and corners or small messes. Very light weight and moves around smoothly. Easy to clean with the top and bottom of canister opening. Great vacuum and well worth the money. I will never own another vacuum that is not shark brand.

I love this vacuum cleaner. It's easy to handle and quitter than others. It's attachments are easily accessible. The see through canister lets you see whenever it needs emptied and then you can unlatch the bottom to allow dirt to escape which is very handy. Best vacuum cleaner I've owned.
