Shark - Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe

I recently bought [this one](https://a.co/d/eDtaQf7) from Shark and it works great. I can't believe how cheap it is.

I use a shark navigator deluxe. It was $189 :) I have a cleaning business and have zero complaints and ALL my clients have pets. Other ways to manage pet hair: Dry dusting swiffer floor pads (thin and trap fur. You use them dry on a swiffer) Regular dusting from top to bottom before vacuuming Basic I know! :)

I love this Shark. I’ve had it for 5 years. It’s light weight, easy to empty, easy to clean, works on long hair pet fur. https://a.co/d/ixP5aFy I’ve had a more complex Shark, I don’t like those, heavier and harder to empty.

It has great suction, gets up fine dust/grime deep within carpet, check the reviews too, love it! It’s my all time fact vacuum, seriously

I used to love Eureka vacuums when I was younger due to the value. Got a Dyson around age 26 and it wasn't bad, but omg way overpriced plastic! I was so mad I dropped $600 on it. Next up a Bissel Pet vac 5 yrs ago at age 34 worked okay, but I got tired of how bulky it was and the brush never stopped spinning, even while using the attachments. So I went a grabbed a Shark NV360 online and I love how much suction this thing has and it brought up so much dirt. Best of all it has lift away canister I can take around house to clean with attachments. The only negative thing, is the suction is so good it gets stuck a bit on my area rugs. However, it has a suction adjustment on it somewhere I read about. I just haven't tried to adjust it yet. Anyways, I haven't tried a wireless vac either, I guess I'm old school.

I know shark is the devil on here but for $250 and under for a bagless machine either shark (a Costco one so you have kinda pseudo warranty) is imo best bet either that or a kenmore bagless I hear is decent too

I have \*serious\* allergies. I need to have a HEPA air purifier running 24/7. When I've used most vacuums, I end up coughing, sneezing, and wheezing. Even brand new ones cause this. Last year, I got a Shark Navigator Professional NV360, and it's been great. No coughing, sneezing, or wheezing. Consumer Reports rated it as one of the best vacuums for allergy sufferers. It's got a HEPA filter, and unlike other vacuums with HEPA filters, it seals the dust inside the vacuum instead of leaking it back into the room. You can detach the canister and use it like a hand vacuum. And it's the only upright in that Consumer Reports category that's under $200. Here's info from the Shark site. Lots of stores carry it. You may want additional upholstery attachments, however. I have a carpeted bedroom, and tile floors elsewhere.

I have two recommendations for you. If you're ok with a bagged vacuum, I’d go with the Kenmore BU4050 [https://amzn.to/3ULrUBD](https://amzn.to/3ULrUBD) It has great suction on carpet, keeps dust sealed in HEPA bags, and comes with a powered pet tool that works well for hair on stairs and furniture. If you’d rather go bagless, the Shark Navigator [https://amzn.to/4mnnuwA](https://amzn.to/4mnnuwA) is my go to choice for under $200. It’s powerful, has a switch to go between hard floors and carpet, and the lift away canister makes it great for stairs and tight spots. Both work well for pet hair and carpet.

I agree with the elitism. And I'm a huge Shark fan. Have been for 15 years or so. My nv350 went on for 12 years....only died cause I dropped it down the stairs. I got two Sharks from Walmart on clearance, one for $85 (zu561) and one for $65 (nv360). Those two will probably last me the next 20 years. But I also have three cats and wanted to see what the hype was about. I found a two year old Sebo D4 Premium for basically $480. That is way more than I'd ever want to spend on a vacuum. I can afford it by all means but like you I could never justify it. The other side of me loves electronics and wanting the best of the best. And I do have to say.....the Sebo is incredible. Value is subjective so for me I do see a difference in the amount of dust and cat hair left over after a week of vacuuming with each. And the difference on carpet and what it pulls up. But its also a whole different ball game using a canister vacuum vs plugging in a vacuum and just going. Not having to worry about what suction level or head and attachment I'm using. So I do have some respect and awareness of the other side.

I found this comment looking for a replacement for my Shark navigator lift away lol It just died after maybe 4-5 years and it has been terrible at getting hair off our rug for about 2.5 years now. Replaced the roller brush and everything but it never improved. Loved it when we first got it! But now my partner hates it and wants to replace with something else.

https://a.co/d/iVCqVFQ I’ve got this shark one. I like it because I can disconnect the bottom when I vacuum the stairs. It’s bagless so major win since corgi hair is never ending and I can take the filter out and wash it in the sink.
