Shark - Navigator Lift-Away ADV

Consumer Reports says the best price/performance is the Shark Navigator Professional NV360, we have the Shark Navigator Lift-Away LA300, which costs a little more, but we like very much. Good luck! If you want to spend over $1K, Miele is the best brand, by far.

I have a shark with the fluffy floor duster on the bottom and a "hair wrap" inside the machine. The duster on the bottom is fucking ball ache with long hair, I have to cut it with scissors a lot. The inside part is good I guess, but I've not had enough experience with other vacuums to understand if the hair was ever an issue? But I have to put my hand into it and empty the hair out by hand which is a faff. Anyway I don't think it's worth it to get a Dyson, shark is good and has lasted a few years now. I think most vacuums these days are fine, the difference you'd see in one Vs the other is so marginal honestly.

I hope i dont get crucified here but I purchased a Shark ADV Lift away vacuum from Costco for $320. The ADV version is apparently better. I have super super plush carpets and any vacuum I tried always struggled. I took extra carpet to try out miele and even that one got kind of stuck on the carpet. The Shark glides on it even on max suction. I had to empty the canister like 6 or 7 times in a 2400sqft house where I've lived for only a year. Weekly vacuums. Stairs. All of it. It felt gross knowing how bad my carpets were with my last vacuum. The stairs are carpeted and work very well with the power pet attachment I can't speak for longevity. I'll update you in 5 years My goal is a Sebo 4 which is $1300 new. Used is about 1/4 - 1/3 of that price but the warranty makes up for the cost difference

I don’t know the exact model, but we bought a Shark vacuum after going through several other brands which died quickly. The Shark has lasted for years. It’s a convertible (handheld to stick) type vacuum and it works really well!

I have the Shark Performance Lift-away. Best purchase that I ever made. I wish that I would have made the investment much sooner in life. It was gross to see how little my previous vacuum(s) was doing. It took probably 5 separate vacuuming sessions before I got everything up. It was less and less each time, but it was a lot lol.

My shark has lasted 5 years with 3 huskies.

Shark navigator lift away does the job, and will have more power than a stick vacuum to suck up pet hair. I have had two of these vacuums in 20 years, vacuuming dog hair weekly or bi-weekly.

I use the shark navigator lift away as well, I am yet to find a better vacuum

For LVP/tile + area rugs with multiple pets, I’d honestly do a 2-vacuum setup: Robot vacuum daily for crumbs/hair (Roborock / Roomba). This is what made the biggest difference in our house. A real vacuum for deeper cleans: Shark Stratos / Shark Navigator Lift-Away (great value) or Miele C1 if you want “buy it for life”. Also: avoid super cheap stick vacs — they die fast with pet hair. And make sure whatever you get has a HEPA filter + easy-to-clean brush roll. If you only want ONE vacuum, I’d go Shark Stratos + add a cheap robot later.

Shark navigator lift-away for the win. Does great. It’s survived a decade of husky hair. Reasonably priced and currently on sale.
