My daughter has an 85 pound part coon, part Lab dog with white fur which sheds horribly. The pet hair drives us all crazy. She's tried other so-called high end vacuums that just didn't cut it. Bought her this Shark bagless model as a gift after researching dozens of vacuum reviews including much higher priced models like Dyson's for pet hair. This vacuum received the best pet hair removal reviews. The first time she used it on carpet she was amazed at how much dirt and pet hair it sucked up and realized her other vacuums had been leaving a lot behind. Not only is this vacuum terrific for pet hair the bagless canister is large compared to most models and goes longer between emptying. It's also very easy to empty and reattach. I visited her a few days ago and tried it out for myself. It truly is great. It has very strong suction without being so powerful that it pulls carpet yarns loose in wall to wall carpeting as I've read some vacuums will do. My only negative comment is that it isn't designed to slide all the way under beds as the dirt collection canister keeps that from happening. However, moving the bed a little or using a dust mop on hardwood floors is the work-around. The attached self-storing hose has plenty of suction power as well. This is not only a great vacuum it's fairly economical too at a mid-range price point. Not having to buy sweeper bags saves money over the long run as well. If you have a shedding dog, BUY THIS VACUUM. Today!

This vacuum had a hill to climb to begin with coz it replaced my Oreck of 20 some years. I loved the light weight and maneuverability of the Oreck but hated to empty and replace the bags. So many people had spoken highly of the Shark and Dyson, but Dyson was out of my budget range. The reviews for the Shark were favorable as well. I wish the cord was longer but that is the only recommendation I have to improve the Shark. The ease of emptying the dust cup is wonderful! The maneuverability is comparable to Oreck. I am a happy Shark user.

I absolutely LOVE this vacuum. It has adjustable suction, which is nice if you are an owner of Smartstrand carpet. The suction is not only adjustable for the floor vacuum, but for the extendable arm as well. Previously, I owned a Shark Lift-Away Pro, and I thought that vacuum did a decent job, but the Navigator DLX is a far better product. I think the liftaway function took a lot of the power away from the vacuum. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PETS! This vacuum picks up a lot more than my liftaway did, and it popped my carpet fibers right up that had been matting down.
