I love my Navigator Lift-Away and I am surprised I ever got by without it. My floors are so  much more clean and soft to walk on. I have two young kids who are quite messy so I need a vacuum that can keep up with our family and this is exactly that. Cleaning is an absolute breeze and you can really see, hear, and feel the difference. The lift-away feature in itself is amazing. It is the easiest way to clean your stairs or harder to reach places without having to lug a heavy vacuum up each step. The suction is great and the brush really picks up dirt. There is really nothing I can complain about except the fact that hair seems to really get caught up quickly. I do believe this is because of how powerful the brush really is but, to maintain the full effectiveness you will need to remove hair from the spinner frequently. It is absolutely worth every penny and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
