I bought my Navigator after combing the internet for reviews and videos of a vacuum that can handle my long hair Husky. The Navigator was mentioned as number 1 over and over. I am so pleased. After the first time I vacuumed with it it I couldn’t believe how much it pulled up. Also, the self cleaning brush is amazing as I have long hair and have always had to cut hair out of vacuum brushes. I’m so glad I chose the Shark Navigator over the ridiculously expensive vacuums that don’t even really compare.
