I have had my new shark for about two months now and use it almost daily! I’m a stay at home mom so a lot of messes are made by my kids. This vacuum makes cleaning a breeze. For years I would just buy the most basic vacuum I could find and it would have outlived it’s life within just a few months. I finally saved and found a really good deal on a Shark Navigator and wished I would have purchased many years ago. The suction (and ease of adjusting) can’t be beat! The swivel head makes cleaning so much easier. I will never buy another brand!
