I’ve had the Navigator Pet Pro Plus for 3 mos and can say it’s better than other uprights in this price point. Really easy to clean and switch from bare floor to carpet and reduce suction as needed.  Downside - can’t get under furniture, the hose doesn’t extend w/out the vacuum tipping over.  Extremely irritating as the longer extension hose was a reason for picking this upright.  Just saw that the Lift-Away can be used under furniture which would have been helpful to know at the time of purchasing this Navigator.
