There are several attachments that come with the Shark Navigator vacuum including a power nozzle for carpeted stairs and upholstery,as well as a dusting brush tool and a 24 inch crevice tool which attach to the 12 foot stretch hose.

Shark Navigator Vacuum Reviews We found over 300 reviews of the Shark Navigator Vacuum with the majority of them being positive. 79% of people who own this vacuum rated it 4 or 5 out of 5 stars. They were impressed by the powerful suction and quite noise level. It sucks up lots of dirt and hair that was left behind by other vacuums and steam cleaners. The Shark Navigator vacuum uses cyclonic suction tubes which is the same technology as Dyson but at a much lower cost. The washable filters are well protected from dust so they only require cleaning every couple of months. The shark navigator vacuum is fairly light at only 15lbs so it is maneuverable and isn't too difficult to carry up and down stairs. You can turn the beater brush on and off for switching between carpet and hard surface flooring. The brush is gear powered by a small motor so you don't have to worry about breaking or replacing any belts. The brush will shut off automatically if it gets jammed to protect the motor from burning out. There is also an easily accessible long extension hose for hard to reach places. Reviewers stated how well engineered and durable the Shark Navigator Vacuum is and one owner said "I love to vacuum again. I love it!"

The negative reviews for the Shark Navigator Vacuum focused on the same problems. Several people complained the exhaust from the motor exits on the front of the machine which acts like a leaf blower and blows hair and dirt away from the vacuum on tile floors. One owner actually made a deflector out of a plastic pop bottle to redirect the motor exhaust up to avoid this problem. The front wheels can wear out prematurely because the center of the plastic wheels gets reamed out so they don't turn properly and they eventually break. The problem is you can't just replace the wheels; you have to purchase an entire new power head which can cost up to $100. The 5 year warranty won't help you with this problem as it only covers the main motor. The customer service for the Shark Navigator vacuum is reported as being pretty bad when you try to get some warranty work done on the vacuum. Some other complaints include the small dust container that fills quickly and is messy to empty (common with bagless vacuums) as well as the narrow vacuum head which means it can take you longer to vacuum a large room compared to vacuums most other vacuums with a wider power head.

With the mixed reviews of the Shark Navigator Vacuum cleaner we still think it is a good option if you are considering a Dyson vacuum but don't want to pay the Dyson price. Just be aware of the few problems people have had with this vacuum and don't expect much from the 5 year warranty.
