" ... Only owned the machine one day so I can't speak to its durability, but YES it does clean carpets and floors better than any machine I've owned before. ... "
" ... Amazing suction power. ... The setting to adjust the suction to clean more delicate things works great as well! ... "
" ... The suction is so strong it actually pulls the vacuum along (gently). ... On carpet, laminate and linoleum it works awesomely. ... Other than that, picks up everything - even the carpet pile feels more full after vacuuming. ... Dirt bin empties easily too. ... "
" ... I loved how easy it was to use and the suction. ... Good vacuum for about two years. ... "
" ... I love this vacuum! ... It picks up well on my hard floors as well as carpet and gets all the crumbs the little ones smash up! ... "
" ... The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum can clean up just about anything, as long as it's on the interior of your house. ... After some serious yard work, I wanted an easy and effective way to clean up the mess I'd made. ... Turns out, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum should not be used for lawn clippings. ... The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum is very easy to clean and put back together, for indoor use only. ... "
" ... This vacuum really picks up EVERYTHING. ... "
" ... Very pleased with our vacuum. ... "

" ... Because the handle is your hose attachment area there is nothing to hold onto, also the hose is very stiff and whenever you pull it to vacuum corners and such it knocks the vacuum over. ... "
" ... It worked pretty well before that time, but then one day, the bottom half just broke off while vacuuming. ... "
" ... I also have to use a stick to get much out because it jams around the plastic intake area that is inside the container. ... "
" ... today, the cheap plastic button/clip that holds the "extension wand" in place broke. ... "
" ... Only worked for a month or so until a plastic piece on a hinge snapped right off. ... "
" ... The attachments don’t fit securely to the base, so they fly off while I vacuum. ... "
" ... They use a different star screw pattern than the 15 patterns I do own. ... On top of that, one screw is too deep to reach with any detachable screwhead. ... "
" ... The hose won't stay expanded it's way too tight 2 maneuver any distance. ... "

" ... Good value for the money. ... "

" ... Apparently the bottom part (which you need to do the floor) breaks regularly. ... "
" ... today, the cheap plastic button/clip that holds the "extension wand" in place broke. ... something made of less cheap plastic. ... "
" ... Broke on June 29 same year. ... "
" ... On top of that, one screw is too deep to reach with any detachable screwhead. ... "
" ... its very cheaply made and does not come close to o my 5 year old shark which I paid less for . ... "
" ... From the handle to the connection point with the vacuum is a hard plastic tube, rather than flexible tube. ... "
" ... Only worked for a month or so until a plastic piece on a hinge snapped right off. ... "
" ... I am 5'2" tall and it is just awkward to use and to detach the handle to use the attachments. ... "

" ... Short power cord, only 20 feet. ... Power cord placement. ... Must bend over to grab the cord. ... And although there is a clip to hang the cord on, the cord often comes off, plus, about two feet of the short cord is taken up using the hanging clip. ... "
" ... The power cord wraps around a hook that is attached to the “hose,” so if you want to use the hose, you have to completely unravel the cord, even when you don’t need to to reach what you’re cleaning. ... "
" ... Out of the box, cord frayed , missing a prong. ... Amazon will need to reimburse me for cost of replacing cord and my labor also my house if it burns down. ... "
" ... - The plug is in a horrible spot so you’re constantly vacuuming over the cord even if you’re holding it. ... - when you detach to use the hose you have to undo the entire power cord. ... "
" ... :( The cord did not stay plugged into the wall on either unit as well and I have newer outlets so not the cause for that either. ... "
" ... The cord is so short that I had to switch it to different outlets for every room, My Dyson I put in one outlet in a central location and I could do my whole place. ... "
" ... First, you have to undo the entire cord to lift if off. ... "
" ... The cord is also really really short. ... "
