I am the owner of 2 Shark Navigator vacuum cleaners and I am a fan for life. I keep the Navigator upstairs and I use my new Rotator downstairs. It's very simple to assemble it together once removed from the box. The suction is very powerful which is the most important feature I look for in a vacuum. Other features that I love about this vacuum are the built-in HEPA filter (great for people with allergies and asthma like myself) the self-cleaning brush roller and the odor neutralizer. During the warm and hot months of the year, our carpet and couches constantly have a wet dog odor so I'm grateful that Shark has new, innovative technology to remove odors while vacuuming! This vacuum is easy to maneuver around objects and corners and it contains a giant dust collector that holds a lot of debris. I am also loving the extra extender as I have back issues and have a hard time bending over to use the hose. I absolutely love it!
