Shark Upright Vacuum, Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe w

It SUCKS! Literally
I previously owned Bissell vacuum on the cheaper models so I can’t compare the higher end models to this one. I also owned a Shark cordless stick. All I can say is this gold among copper coins. The way it glides on our carpet and laminated floor alone was like going down a butter slide. The suction is powerful on this. The lowest level picked up this much dirt in our room alone! It’s also quieter than the previous vacuums I’ve owned so that’s a plus since we live in an apartment. I just wish it has lights like the other shark I owned. I do like to see the dirt, dander, and hair that’s being picked up. We have 2 dogs that shed and a toddler who likes to make a mess. I don’t think I’m gonna buy another vacuum for a few years and I don’t think I’ll ever buy cordless or non-Shark brands, ever. I got this on a sale which is a lot cheaper than the cordless I have.To summarize— it is powerful, lightweight, get a bang for your buck, and works a whole lot better than I expected it to! If you’re on the verge of buying like I was, GET IT!

Strong suction, Glides beautifully
I’ve always dreaded the day my Dyson upright older model vacuum cleaner would die because they no longer make them (think pre-Dyson ball). I had already purchased other vacuum cleaners to prepare but always ended up returning them. Why do they make the heads so small now? That’s that many times over you have to push the thing to cover surface area. Anyways, I needed something that would work on both tile and carpet and this does the job. It has a setting for bare floor and another for the brush roll to be on (carpet). There is also a suction adjustment setter. It’s called the suction control collar and it’s on the handle. At first I was having to push it with all my night to vacuum the carpet (clearly didn’t read any instructions) because the suction was so strong. Once I read the booklet and adjusted it I was thrilled because I can even use it on a beautiful high pile area rug I have. You can set it very low and use it on drapes as well. The value for the money is great considering I was paying $500 for my Dyons ten years ago and this was only $150. The quality seems sturdy. It has plenty of power. I would have liked a longer cord like my Dyson had but I have plenty of outlets so it’s just a matter of moving the plug around. This might be an issue for others, but not anythjng an extension cord can’t fix. The container that collects the dust is awkwardly shaped and makes it hard to shake everything out efficiently. I would buy it again and do recommend it.

La mejor aspiradora por mucho., saca cosas que ninguna otra aspiradora jala. Super recomendable. Potencia increíble.

My wife calls this R2D2, lol. I looks a bit like a scifi robot.We’ve only ever bought cheap vacuums, and never thought to ever try something at least a bit more expensive than the rock bottom priced vacuums.Our cheap vacuum’s belt broke and found it was doing such a poor just and it got so disgusting after all this time, that I’d figure, ok, let’s try to see if life can be better.I used Consumer Reports to let me home in something that doesn’t suck from above but sucks good from below :-)It was between a few choices. This particular vacuum has some good reviews, so I decided to choose this one. Apparently there are other models of this brand that look similar but that don’t have as much suction power. Consumer Reports reports some as having mediocre suction power. But this particular one, is sucking on steroids! On thick carpet you basically get a workout moving this thing about. This *could* be a problem for some. Apparently there is a way to let it purposely leak air in, and that might be a great workaround, but in our case, we like the power that comes with it. Our upstairs carpet is a bit thinner, and with that it is much easier to use. No problem in fact. Where it becomes hard to move is on our living plushy carpet.But then something unexpected happened. The canister filled up entirely with tiny dust particles. It became solid gray. It detected that it could no longer suck, and a safety valve kicked in. It’s really fool proof.So it *actually* sucked all that from inside and under the carpet. The previous vacuum wasn’t grabbing this at all! I had to empty the canister many times by the time I vacuumed the whole house! The house was never clean before, I guess.One of the reasons it works so well, aside from its awesome power, is because the bristles are motorized! There is an electric motor in that bottom part! Instead of using slippy belts that draw from the main motor, it uses a geared belt that connects to a separate motor. It detects if it gets stuck and turns off that motor. Brilliant, again, fool proof! That belt will probably not break. But I went on youtube to see if it is possible to fix *IF* it’d ever breaks. No problem! You can find replacement belt / bristle kits and it’s no problem at all!So because the bristles are motorized, you get to choose if you want the bristles to run or not. So on a wooden floor you can roll this thing around super easy. It’s nice and gentle on the floor, with proper wheels.And so many features! You can detach the bottom part with ease. Great for the stairs! You can detach the hose and is comes with this bristle attachment that *actually* works! It gets its spin from the suction power, and you’d think it’d never work well, but it really actually does!This is really very well designed, intelligent product! The designers really did a very good job on this.All the plastic is all made from good solid materials. There is absolutely nothing flimsy about it.My wife calls it R2D2 but to me it’s more like a Tesla vacuum 🙂
