tsavorite · ‎03-09-2010

Ok I am confused and I know the Shark navigator is highly recommended by many but which model is it? Looking at Walmart's site they have several....could someone that owns one please help me out with this. My Dyson is broke and I have to vaccum...H tried fixing and it's still not working....so I need to go out and get a new one today.

Thank you for the help....will post a link for the walmart ones I am seeing.

I'm very happy with my Shark Rotator Lift-away Pro (white with red accents). Also the Shark Rocket for smaller jobs.

Its very confusing. Personally I never use the lift away option, so if you can save money with getting one without the lift away, that's what I would do. Both of ours have that option but I just don't use it. They are truly the best vacuums I've ever had and I've had dysons. They always pick up, always. Sometimes we have to cut out some hair from the roller but that's it. And don't forget to rinse out the filter from time to time!

Hi OP! I have the regular Shark Navigator upright - the purple one, and after 3 years, it's still like new. No loss of suction, & it's the best vacuum I've ever owned. I have 2 long haired cats, & it does a great job on all that fur that's shed & left behind.

Thus far, 3 people I'm friendly with have also gone w/ Sharks, & all rave about them. One bought the purple upright Navigator like mine, & the other 2 bought Lift Aways. I'm sure that whichever one you choose will be fine.

Happy vacuuming!

I had the original Navigator Lift-Away (purple one). It worked well, but when we got our dog I thought I needed to upgrade so I got the Navigator Lift-Away Pro (white w/red) and am very happy with it. We still use the purple one for vacuuming out the cars and when I clean the fireplace. If I was in need of a new vacuum now, I'd research the Rotator a little further and it would come down to either the Lift-Away Pro of the Rotator.

Tsavorite, I corrected my response above...the model I have is the Rotator Lift-away Pro, and I like it very much. I also like the Rocket, it's pretty cool.

I have the Shark Nav Pro, the red and white one. LOVE IT!!! Just said to my husband the other day after vacuuming up all the stinking pine needles off my plush carpet how much I loved my vac. WAY better than the dyson before it. Beside having great suction, it also has a really long cord which I love. only have to unplug once to do the whole downstairs. Love that.
