What customers say
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional earns high marks for its impressive cleaning power and excellent value.

Know before you buy
The Lift-Away feature allows you to detach the canister from the floor nozzle with the press of a button. This transforms the vacuum into a portable unit, making it much easier to clean stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas above the floor.
Yes, it is well-suited for pet owners. The powerful suction combined with the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology and HEPA filtration ensures that pet dander and hair are trapped inside the vacuum rather than being released back into your home's air.
Absolutely. The vacuum features a brushroll shutoff switch that allows you to turn off the rotating bristles, preventing them from scattering debris on bare floors while protecting delicate surfaces.
The filters are washable and reusable, which helps reduce long-term maintenance costs. Simply rinse them under cold water and allow them to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.
The vacuum comes with a 30-foot power cord. This generous length allows you to clean multiple rooms or large areas without needing to constantly unplug and move to a different outlet.
The bagless dust cup is designed for quick and mess-free disposal. It detaches easily from the unit, allowing you to empty debris directly into the trash with a simple release mechanism.
