Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great cleaning ability, great price. Perfect for our condo. Smaller head size is perfect for apartments and condos. Great swivel for moving around tight spots. Great for carpet or bare floors with plenty of adjustable suction. I particularly like the bagless canister. My wife always used to be afraid that she picked up needed items. Now she doesn't have to open the bag to see what she picked up. You may want to upgrade to the larger size if you have larger areas to vacuum. I'm still looking to buy attachments they show in the pictures. They don't come with the vacuum.

Works great on carpet and flooring. Nice attachments and easy to use on stairs.

I've been using the Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe for a few weeks now, and overall, I'm really impressed. The suction power is strong, and it easily picks up pet hair, dust, and debris from both carpets and hardwood floors. The Lift-Away feature is a game-changer—it makes cleaning stairs and hard-to-reach areas so much easier. I also appreciate the HEPA filter and sealed system, which help reduce allergens in the air—a big plus for allergy sufferers. It's relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver for an upright vacuum. My only minor complaints are that the cord could be a bit longer, and the vacuum can be a little top-heavy when using attachments. But those are small trade-offs for the overall performance and value. If you're looking for a solid vacuum that balances power, versatility, and affordability, the Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe is a great choice.

Before buying I checked reviews from consumer reports and New York Times. Really great vacuum for the money. It has great suction and can be used anywhere. The minor drawback is it can be harder to use on some carpet. This can be alleviated by reducing the powerful suction, and it still gets great results.

I'm a young adult and have never purchased a vacuum cleaner before. I read several reviews and product specs before purchasing this model. My grandma has the Rocket and swears by it. I considered it, but after looking over the different multi tools and the "Lift Away," as well as the cheaper price, I went with this one. I love it! It's light weight (14 lbs I believe, I can lift with one arm easily) and a little smaller than regular vacuums. It all snaps together and has red tabs where you can separate the pieces, if necessary. It has awesome suction power, just as advertised. It also has a 5 year warranty, so as long as you treat it well, you can replace it or order parts (part numbers conveniently listed at the end of the manual, with pictures) for it. I have high pile carpet and hardwood floors and it works great on both. I tested the dust tool and crevice tool as well, and they both work great. You can adjust the suction on the neck near the handle which helps with these tools and high pile carpet. I kind of wish the crevice tool was a little longer, but there is a separate, longer tool for under appliances that will probably work for what I need it to. It's easy to lift the handheld part of the vacuum away, and to remove the handle for the tools, as well as to snap them back in place. I'm also happy that there are no bags to worry about, and that cleaning the filters is pretty easy. There is one model above this that has little head lights and a couple of different tools I believe, but I wasn't sure if it was worth the $20-40 more (I purchased this vacuum while it was on sale, so I'm not sure the exact price difference). I'm not sure if it matters, but I am using this to clean my one bedroom apartment. The cord is certainly long enough for me to use the same outlet throughout my home.

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.

Hands down! This little better has some strong pickup power. I have had three Dysons in the past decade, and all have failed. I don't want to look at another Dyson. For the price, this thing EXCEEDS all expectations. Now I'm not saying that the Shark brand is phenomenal because I had another shark and it was horrible. But model is excellent!

It picks up everything off my carpet, it's not noisy, lightweight and doesn't lose suction. Attachments are awesome as well. I highly recommend this vacuum!

Cleans all floor types very well. Strong suction and large waste capacity.

So far it works great, it has a lot of power and suction

I've owned the Shark Navigator Lift-Away DLX for 4 weeks now and I love it! I have carpet, area rugs, wood floors, and LTV vinyl flooring. My Hoover had great suction but the HEPA filter warped a little over a year after purchase. I switched to the Shark Navigator and found it to be a wonderful surprise. Overall, I find the good qualities excede the bad. As for the good qualities, I found it to be lighter and easier to maneuver. I have used it on all the surfaces except the LTV vinyl. The suction is wonderful and I can feel it pull as I vacuum. The weight is light which works for me as I am older. Its swivel ability makes maneuvering so much better and no more banging against the walls, furniture, etc. The cord is as long as my Hoover so no change in that area. Because the suction is so much better, I've observed less junk in the canister as I continue to use it. There are some down sides to the Shark. The canister is difficult to clean thoroughly as it is small and has tighter crevices. The filters, though easy to clean, the thinner felt filter is breaking down quickly. Luckily I bought extras from Amazon. The Shark Navigator Lift-Away DLX is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It's good qualities make me happy I switched.

My wife & I have been married a little over 50 years & in that time we’ve owned many vacuum cleaners. Some of them really sucked (not in a good way). This Shark Navigator Lift Away Upright is by far the best of the best! It’s reasonably priced, versatile, light, easily maneuvers around furniture, and it picks up dirt! I use it as a canister vacuum to clean the car, stairs, the tops of furniture. This was a great purchase.

After several bad vacuums, decided to try this sharks, this vacuum is top notch, very happy with this. Very powerful motor, picks up everything, its easy to clean also. All the attachments fit right on board the vacuum. I will definitely be purchasing another soon , not because i need it , just so i can keep one upstairs and one downstairs.

Easy to assemble with no tools! Lightweight. Love the maneuverability into small/tight spaces. Love the bare floor and carpet switch. It really does an excellent job picking up dirt and cat hair. Runs quieter than previous vacuums. I am replacing a six year old cheap Bissell. The only thing I wish it had was a bigger collection bin. I emptied it three times (basically after each section of my apartment).

Great vacuum, light weight and has tons of suction.

Truth be told, I did not have high hopes for a vacuum from Best Buy and it being not one of their "Premier" models, but I have been completely blown away by how good it is. The suction works great for hair on carpets and cleaning up litter or debris. Just make sure to clean it out regularly and this is a good deal if you have a membership!

I rarely do reviews but this vacuum deserves one. I love that it’s lightweight, a good height (I don’t have to bend over using it), powerful (I am appalled at how much it keeps picking up!), quiet (can hold a conversation over it), easy to empty, has a cord holder to keep it up while using, and so manoeverable, even on stairs. And so reasonably priced! I’m hoping it will serve us well in the years to come. We’re in our late 60s and need all the above qualities.

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!

Bought our first one about 2 months ago on the advice of our maid. Love it! Had to get this second one for our other property. It is light weight, quiet, and works very easily on carpets. I love the floor vacuum feature where ONLY the suction functions as you sweep over loose dust, particles. The brushes spinning is the cause for kicking the dust and particles all over the place. Clever. Also easy to use on our stairs and under furniture. Wish this model came with some sort of light on the front, but oh well.

I am absolutely thrilled with my new Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum. The Shark Navigator has exceeded my expectations, The first thing that blew me away was the suction power. It effortlessly picked up embedded hair from my carpets that my old vacuum left behind. The brushroll works wonders, and the vacuum transitions smoothly from carpet to hard floors, which makes cleaning my entire home a breeze. The real star of the show, though, is the "Lift-Away" feature. Being able to detach the pod and carry it with a handle has made cleaning stairs, drapes, and high-up corners incredibly easy. I no longer have to struggle with a heavy, bulky machine. It's so versatile, it feels like I have two vacuums in one. Finally, the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology is a game changer for me. I can visibly tell the difference in the air quality after vacuuming. The sealed system and HEPA filter trap 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, so I’m not just cleaning my floors, I’m cleaning the air I breathe. It's a huge relief and a feature I can't imagine living without now. This vacuum is powerful, versatile, and thoughtfully designed. It has made my life so much easier and my home so much cleaner. It’s an investment in a healthier, cleaner home, and I couldn't recommend it more highly.
