Navigator Lift-Away with PowerFins HairPro

When the housecleaners stole my elderly mom's Shark upright vacuum, I bought the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with PowerFins HairPro to replace it. I really liked it and it did a great job with the copious amounts of cat hair it needed to handle. I don't know if the more expensive Shark vacuums perform any better, but I had no complaints with this one.

I have two. A shark corded one for the big clean, has anti-tangle for dealing with the dog (and wife) hair. Then I have a battery powered dyson stick with a little green light that I use for day-to-day messes and dust on the hardwood

I have the Shark Navigator with the self cleaning roller, but not the lift away version. It’s a few years old now and it’s still the best vacuum I’ve ever had and leaves no dog hair behind at all. We have carpet, hardwood, and rugs. There are settings for hard floor vs carpet and you can change the suction amount for things like rugs. And I don’t have to cut all the hair off the roller. Beats my previous Dyson Animal by a million and was nowhere near as expensive. Actually got it on sale pretty cheap! The canister is easy to dump and it’s simple to take apart to clean if needed.

I have a Shark Navigator with Self-Cleaning Brush Roll. I have long hair that gets everywhere. Have had this vacuum for 5+ years, and have never had to clean the brush. It's only about $200.

On a whim last Black Friday I got the Shark lift away pet vacuum at Costco and zero regrets. Vacuuming a rug now’s collects 3x what it used to. I have carpet on the stairs so the lift away portion has made that a breeze.
