"Love my shark navigator. ... It got clogged probably 60 times (imagine not picking up hay, bunny poops, and litter, before you vacuum 🙃), which was user error, but it still managed to live a long life. ... Got another one no questions asked."
"I also have a near decade old shark navigator that still works like the day I bought it."
"I can attest to them as I've owned two, and the first one I got second-hand. The only reason I had to get a new Shark was because my springer chewed on the cord one day when he was 2 years old."

"But most sharks or some have anti hair wrap technology on their brush rolls. That's already worth every penny if you've got cats."
"I have two Maine coon cats (the large, hairy ones). I love my Shark Navigator vacuum"

"I only wish the roller was self-cleaning 😄 ... with lots of pets and long-haired humans the roller bar is a daily nightmare"
"The roller is always encased in my hair"
"Lately I think I more prefer the one with the brush roll that doesn't collect as much hair but the regular Navigator is good."

"the vacuum sucks so well on the squishy padded carpet that it will barely move over the carpet. ... It's a big workout to push it ... it feels like it's tugging the carpet at the seams"
"very heavy and cumbersome"
"One of the Sharks had a suction control but that didn't seem to help much. ... just the suction power adjustment which seemed close to useless for our carpet."
