Shark Navigator

[szymonrules]

Hmmm.... I was just watching a Shark Navigator Lift Away commercial, and I was appaled. They went all crazy with the Billard Balls, comparing to a Hoover Windtunnel air, but they also compared it to a Miele S7 Tango! They said that they're more sealed then the Miele!!! UGHHH

 

[szymonrules]

And

They also promised a 10 year warranty! I mean I don't have anything against it, its not bad, but I mean REALLY?!

 

[sanitairered]

Have you ever owned one? Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to judge the product...

The Mieles were more sealed than the Navigator.

One thing they don't mention in the infomercial is that although the vacuum is a Sealed HEPA vacuum, that it uses a WASHABLE HEPA filter! To me, that's a BAD thing, not a good thing at all! What's the point of saying it's sealed & implying it's got a quality filtration system when you're not using a True HEPA H12 filter, like Miele & Bosch?? Kinda stupid if you ask me!

I demand Euro-Pro go out of business. They make the worst vacuums in the world.

Shark

Ive seen the leftaway is cheaply made . Dont buy it

 

[vacuumfreeeke]

I too think most of their claims are ridiculous. The machines look and feel cheap and the longevity just isn't there.... it seems that the people who write positive reviews of them have only had the machines for a short period of time.

I happen to

own a navagitor and it`s a very well built machine and does a great job at deep cleaning plus powerful suction/airflow .

 

[joshdonnell]

shark

i would have to disagree. ive used it . electorlux is better

 

[eurekaprince]

Don't knock it too much. The build quality may be cheap, but these Navigators have actually performed very well in Consumer Reports testing. I know it's a little shocking, but the Shark/Europro people sometimes (not always!) come up with something that works well. I can't remember the exact details I posted on Vacuumland some time ago, but the Navigator is one of the better bagless machines, believe it or not.....

Josh I never

said it was the BEST vacuum out there all I meant was for the price and all the negativity about the brand I was really supprised at the quality of a machine that I used to think was junk . Brian is right the shark vacuum did very well in consumer reports . I now think that the current shark models are vastly improved . Remember Hyundai ??? now look at that brand . I also own the Shark steam mop and it is the best floor steamer out there . Most every friend and relative own a Shark steam mop. They always ask me what I think about the Shark navigator vacuum and I now can say it is a pretty impressive vacuum that has improved itself just like the Hyundai car brand .

 

[director12]

Well, a Miele was twice the filtration one will ever get. The people at Euro-Pro are idiots who are ugly like their moms. And their claims are diarrhea.

 

[szymonrules]

hmmm

Hope I didn't create a lot of negativity it I did than sorry about that, but what I meant was that that shark makes OK vacuums that don't necessarily last lobut their claims are really over the top! I mean I know they're trying to sell a product, but they try their hardest to negatively impact another brand. Btw I have used one at my friends house a few times and we both thinks its really flimsy but it DOES get the job done and kirbyloverdan, I know what you mean with the Hyundais! Mtuy dad owned a 97 sonata and something broke in it atleast twice a week! Ever since than, he won't even look in Hyundais way! He says the only good thing about them is the engine! He says this even though his cousin just bought a 2012 sonata!

Sadly in my opinion, Shark vacs don't really make vacuums. A lot of them are Morphy Richards made in China models, or from other brands.

Wow!

Let's all slam the small guy! Euro-Pro has made some pure garbage, for sure. However, the Lift Away is FAR from garbage!

I bought my first one over a year ago. Mike's cousin now has that machine, and it's still going strong. She LOVES that machine! How much? Well... her parents & one cousin now own one as well, and they ALL LOVE this machine! My one cousin bought one, and guess what... SHE LOVES IT! Mike & I bought another one and WE LOVE IT!

We did a test in the living room: NEW Dyson DC26 "City" vs. Kirby Ultimate G Diamond vs. Navigator Lift Away... Guess which one was STILL sucking up dirt at the end of the test. Hint: it wasn't the Dyson. Even after the Dyson appeared to do all it could, we still ran the Kirby over the area several passes. The Shark was STILL pulling up dirt.

We got a new Dyson DC28 - $400. We ran it over a spot in the living room, and NOTHING was in the dust bin. So, we pulled out the Lift Away, and ran it over the same area. The SHARK sucked up dirt, that the Dyson, apparently, couldn't get. The Dyson was boxed up and RETURNED immediately. It was a $400 JOKE!

If you want to bash a company for false promises, you need to start looking at Dyson. At $400 each, the DC26 and DC28 are the biggest jokes to hit the market - trying to get a free ride on the Dyson image.

Did I mention the DC28 had to go in for repair the first week we had it for a failed power nozzle? Yeah... 2 weeks later it was fixed. Dyson service isn't exactly great, either.

The proof is in the dust bin, folks. Considering we got our new Lift Away for under $150 (!!), we'll take the Shark ANY DAY for the money!

 

[redgeminipa]

EDIT

We returned the Dyson DC28 after it came back from being repaired, because it STILL wasn't pulling the dirt that the Shark pulled.

 

[sanitairered]

I agree, my Shark is a terrific machine! Notice how the only ones bashing it are the ones who don't own it...

 

[szymonrules]

I owned it and it did'nt do a bang up job. I still have my DC07 and it actually still amazes me yo this day on how good it is, and I really don't like Dyson. Well, like I said before, sorry if I got anyones blood rushing!
