I am so pleased with this Shark vacuum cleaner! Shark has quickly become my go to for sure. I have had more expensive vacuum cleaners in the past and I have to say that this Shark Navigator works just as well, if not better than the pricey ones! I use this to vacuum my hard floors instead of sweeping, as well as carpeted areas. It works great for both. It's also easy to turn and is lightweight. I am definitely a happy, lifelong customer. :o)
