Shark Commercial Navigator Professional Upright Vacuum

I bought this vacuum just over a year ago and it worked great for the first seven - eight months. I was nothing but impressed with it ( I will say it was a little heavy, bringing it over to clients homes). After about the eight month mark it quit going over the carpets as smoothly. It was picking up less on hard floor and wasn't getting the hair out of the upholstery any more. It all just started going down hill from there. Last month it quit completely sucking anything up. Right after the warranty runs out it becomes unusable. I did find out this vacuum is part of United States section of Shark not Euro Shark. This meant that I could only order things from USA and have to wait for customs (which I did as I ordered new filters and everything). I will not be buying this vacuum again and will re-consider a shark vacuum in the future but I will be doing my research in the future making sure its a euro Shark. Lets hop it is just mine that turned out bad and everyone else has good luck with it.

We had a Dyson for years and it finally blew the motor. I never thought there was a better cleaner out there but this is it. Super suction and easy to use. It even swivels like the Dyson ball. Getting it on sale for $150 off was a great decision.

Very happy with this machine. Suction and maneuverability are as good as the more expensive machines that I have previously owned. Do wish it had a cord rewind though. I agree with hockeymom that is very hard to wrap it around the posts. I store it in a closet so I just drape the cord over the handle. Doesn't look as neat but it does work. Bought it on sale at CTC for $199.

tres performant...facile a manoeuvrer..aucun probleme de succion et nous l avons depuis pres d'un an..

I have been using this vacuum for several months now and it is great. It works well on floors and it also has a carpet setting that also works well. It works phenomenally well to remove dog hair from my upholstery. I have had many vacuums, including a Dyson which I currently own, and this, by far is the best ever. I also liked the Shark Lift-Away because it was lighter but the hose wasn't as long. It fits under the kitchen cabinets, where some vacuums are too bulky to fit. You can see by the fine particles in the canister, how much dirt it really does remove. My daughter-in-law vacuumed a carpet downstairs with the Dyson first. Then she went over it again with this Shark and you would not believe the dirt that the Dyson had missed. She loves that vacuum so much that she bought a second-hand carpet the other day and actually brought it over to my house to use the Shark to vacuum it. They are currently in the process of buying one for themselves. It also has a pivoting head which I also find convenient. The only negatives, I would say, is that I still don't find the hose to be as long as I would like and it is a little heavier than I thought it would be.
