Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E

shark professional. literally cannot recommend it any higher

I liked my Shark until the brush roller broke and I found out that you can't buy a replacement.

The Shark lift away Navigator professional is my favorite vacuum of all time. I bought a refurbished one 10 years ago, and it's still going strong. The clips that hold the dust bin on broke so my hubby put a bungee cord on to hold it down. He bought me the Shark Stratus to replace it, but I'm still using it until it dies. The Stratus is really good, too, but I love the Navigator more. It maneuvers so much better. My husband even uses it as a shop vac when he does drywall work around the house. I'm just really meticulous changing out the filters and cleaning it regularly.

100% would recommend. I have NEVER and I mean NEVER used another vacuum that even comes close to the suction power that dyson has. I got the one linked below two years ago (or very very similar) - yes it was around the same price and I would buy it again and again. The only issue I would say is make sure your rug is firmly stuck to the floor because it WILL suck it up. It's that powerful. I've tried multiple shark professional vacs and rainbow E2. They simply do not compare. When using the wand it will pull everything up to a 1 foot radius around it. Perfect for animal hair and very easy to keep clean with a washable filter.

This is the one I have, I got it several years ago: https://a.co/d/7EkjFue

I have a lot of pets and I really like my Shark Professional.

Shark does as good for way less money.

Be that as it may, I had four long haired beauties and that Shark was super efficient, not only on the carpets but the cat trees as well. And I didn't need a home equity line of credit to get it. LOL

I love my Shark Lift Away Pro! It is 12 years old and still cleaning like a new one! I also run a Roomba daily - it only catches surface dirt, but really helps cut down on the cat fur embedded in the rug.
