Shark NV586 Powerful Suction Navigator Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum For Floor Cleaning Hardwood Tile Carpet Multi-Surface Pets (Renewed)

Firstly : This is not a paid review. So you don’t have to scan for the magic words hidden in so many reviews. I love this thing for real. I bought this vacuum 6 months ago and waited to see what I really thought. Amazing! I’ve killed 2 different $300 Dysons so I needed a better option & read up on Consumer Reports. Shark has one of the lowest breakage rates. I can see why. It has easy to open connections to clear blockage. The can is large capacity & catches larger objects in a 1st compartment. Very easy to switch between hose, hard floor, carpet brush on the fly without turning off the unit. I have a huge great room in the country with two Great Danes & a husband who doesn’t take off his boots. I collect enough dirt & fur in a day to pot a plant in. We have wood floors with a few rugs, some stairs and large baseboard ledges. I can use the thumb switch on the handle to go from hardwood to rug without missing a beat. The hose detaches easily to run the baseboards, stairs, around dog beds. Nice feature of the hose is that you can use the extended long tube or the short tube handle - and you can use the short handle without having to unwind the power cable. With my old Dyson you could only use the hose if you unwound the power cable completely. Also on the hose is a suction control near the handle - basically opens up to let air in & release some suction. You are probably used to getting stuff stuck on the end of the hose and hearing the motor try to eat itself sucking the blockage. This saves the motor & makes fixing this quick & easy. I also use the vacuum with carpet brush on to go over my large loose canvas covered dog beds. Sucks the hair right off. I wasn’t thrilled with the plastic & purple color - not sure why vaccuums have to be colored like they are superheroes. But I can see how light this thing is & why they use plastic. The swivel head turns really easily. This thing is easy to maneuver. Only notes are that when using the hose the main unit doesn’t roll smoothly on it own & tends to fall over. It doesn’t hurt it but it’s annoying- so you keep one hand on the top handle. Also when using the hard floor (rolling brush off) pet fur can gather on the rollers so I occasionally flip the brush rollers on to get the hair off. I remembered to write this review after being at a party where someone pulled out their Shark to clean up tiny broken glass bits. Oddly enough, we all had Sharks & said how much we loved them. Though I will say a few ladies lived alone & had cheaper, smaller units - loved theirs for their own situation. I’m not sure anything smaller would work for us. Oddly the Comsumer Reports gave this vacuum a lesser rating on pet hair than my old Dyson. I don’t see it. I think it’s great with pet hair & I don’t feel like I’m going to have to replace this anytime soon. Hope this helps! I hate buying vacuums too.

This one only lasted 15 months & the Motorized Floor nozzle Quit working ! would not recommend this !

I have 2 Aussies (lots of hair everywhere) plus carpeted stairs. I had a used shark professional deluxe for 7 years (still worked perfectly) and loved the performance- suction was good as my tri star canister vacuum but this is better for stairs with the powered lift away. It picks up the hair and dirt and can get under my sofa and China cabinet. I do need to clean out the brush a couple times (1100 sq ft home) as hair wraps , but it is easy to do, no need to pull out roller and do it like with the shark rotator with the pet brush (I sent that back). It pulls off easily. It also has a handheld powered attachment that is good for upholstery and car seats/carpet, though rather small for stairs. The crevice tool is good for picking up hair and dust around things on tables, though my old small brush attachment was better at it getting the dust. All in all a great vacuum that picks up hair with really strong suction (you may need to dial it down) and a very effective power head… that detaches with the canister! Easy to empty and rinse out dust bin. Reliable product.

I love the appearance of this beautiful purple vacuum. The ability to lift the bin to vacuum under beds and furniture is awesome as a house cleaning, although when I have to use the hose attachment, it’s way too short and doesn’t stretch far often tipping the vacuum over. It is a bit heavier then a couple other shark vacuums I have. But overall it had great suction and is easy to maneuver and clean.

My old vacuum just wasn't cutting it any more on bare floors. It was just throwing stuff back at my feet and ankles and I was having to vacuum an area numerously to get the job done. This Shark Navigator was SUPER highly rated on Consumer Reports and I knew it was time to put the old vacuum out to pasture. The Navigator is bag-less, first time I've had a vacuum that was bag-less and I love it. It works GREAT on bare floors and it has a little switch on the handle to go to "Carpet / Bare-floor" putting it on Carpet engages the roller and it does a wonderful job on carpets as well. I have read some complaints about maneuverability of this vacuum. It has a swivel head... which albeit is a bit odd to use at first, you adjust rather quickly to it. Any amazing feature of this device is that you can easily pull the storage canister and hose section off to CARY and do your stair without lugging the entire vacuum up with you. Bottom line, this vacuum SUCKS.... in a good way. It is easy to use, quick to dump sediments you vacuum up, and very versatile. I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum and hope it lasts me for many years. December 2021.. this vacuum is still getting it done. I am still very pleased with it, especially after adding to Mini Australian Shepards to my house... Alllll new sources of pet hair and this guy gets the job done.
