Duo Clean Lift-Away Vacuum with Powered Head NV803

I bought a shark when they first brought out that purple nv model navigator. 5 years in, I upgraded to the nv800 shark rotator ( red and white one) donated the purple to my mother and it's been going strong for about 15 years. She adores it and it cleans the carpet like the day I bought it. The shark rotator I still own , is 10 years old and runs absolutely perfectly. Can not fault these models, built to last. Cleans carpets like no other vacuum IMO

Shark vac I’ve had since 2017 is still going strong. Best vacuum I have ever owned.

I do actually have to corroborate this because I do see people complaining (which is their experience) but in my many warranty requests with shark, they were pretty easy to work with, a the most I did was a little video call with a representative but tbh thts kinds nice because it's a person who's talking to you and affirming you're about to receive xyz products in the mail for free and here are the links to using it installing them. Sure the warranty is 4years maybe on their most premium vac (what's it today y'all?) and they will die eventually afterwards without parts. But hey the company is mostly upfront about their marketing first, wowing upfront performance and shorter life cycles (implicitly) and honor their contracts easily.

Yeah using the apex was a bit of a workout for me on carpet as that thing can GO on carpet. If you can hold it back it does well... But holding it back is a big trouble 😅

A shark apex was the first vacuum I bought myself as an adult. I grew up with a miele canister. After a year ish I immediately bought a miele canister on marketplace and ofc it was much better for slightly cheaper (a miele UniQ!). I cleaned up and gave that shark to my bestie's family who still use it (and know how to maintain it well). I bought my brother and Apex for his housewarming (before I got my uniq) and it's a great vacuum for them too but they're not very meticulous users (and have a German shepherd) so it died in under 4 years. As a vacuum nut who acquires new/user vacuums for fun for my loved ones, sharks best stuff does work better than 90% of the crap that's out there... But knowing what I know now after a decade+ of vacuum nuttery, things like a miele/Sebo noticeably and materially outperform a shark, no contest. The economics of shark ownership are really not there in my experience.... ESPECIALLY compared to a Kenmore... Also being a canister vacuum nuts makes me resent shark a little. Though I got my cousin to buy the shark canister and it's great but they're also not meticulous users so I should've found them a miele 🤷🏾 Sharks aren't bad~ but they're always worse... So why not get the better performer (Germans) or the better value (Kenmore)? This is also ignoring the consumerist plague that is the sharkninja company... Their products always mostly work but are also almost always mostly outlcassed by their peers. Overall, it's a "why bother" from me. But get off the cross buddy, you're not a Dyson owner 😂

we got our shark duo in 2017 and has never had an issue its our sole vacuum for 2 story home, if you've trashed 6 I think it's probably you breaking them somehow? I keep wanting a nicer vacuum but this one won't die.

I like the Shark Duet and have 2 labs

I have a shark duo, similar to the navigator. I find it to be a superior vacuum for its cost. And I like the fact that it has a cord, because I can vacuum my whole dang house without it running out of battery.

I’ve had two of the lift aways both bought at Costco and both had the no tangle roller current one is the performance lift away Duo Clean great vacuum and was $299 on sale. My wife is very OCD about her vacuuming and she loves this one! Absolutely hated the Dyson, refused to even use it I had to just sell it😂
