Q: We purchased the navigator but it is very difficult to manuever on our plush carpet. We have set it to minimum and carpet but I still have difficulty pushing it. Is there something we are doing?

submitted by TLC - 2 years ago

  • A: My Pro is extremely difficult to use on my new plush carpet. I contacted Shark but as much as I like it, I need to buy another vacuum now bc it does not have a height adjustment don't want to ruin it.

    submitted byToughFit - 2 years ago

  • A: Open the air vent on the handle all the way for plush carpet ..it helps reduce suction but still will pick up dirt and hair.

    submitted byTarget treasure hunter - 1 year ago

    Waste of money

    Giving two stars because I loved the vacuum cleaner while it worked. I barely got 3 months of use out of it before it clogged and now has barely any suction. I’ve basically taken it apart to try and fix it and can’t access any area where there is a clog. Total waste of money since it’s past the return window.

    1 reply from SharkNinja Product Expert team - 7 days ago
    Hi Mitsy, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your Shark Navigator Swivel Pro Upright Vacuum started expelling debris while cleaning. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially when you expect the vacuum to securely capture and contain dirt and debris. Reduced airflow, a full dust cup, a blockage, or filters that need maintenance can sometimes affect collection performance, but we recognize that this experience has been upsetting. We would like the opportunity to learn more about your experience and help troubleshoot the concern you've described. You can reach us at 1-877-581-7375. Live agent support is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Kind Regards, SharkNinja

    The vacuum suction is awful and is always getting clogged. It can be so minimal and I have to unclog it. I rarely use the vacuum so I don't understand why it continues to clog so easily. It's going back to the store!
    1 reply from SharkNinja Product Expert team - 7 days ago
    Hi Mariana, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Having a vacuum constantly clog, even with minimal use, can be incredibly frustrating and takes away from the convenience and performance you expect. It’s especially disappointing when something as simple as routine cleaning turns into frequent interruptions to clear blockages. Before returning the vacuum, we'd appreciate the opportunity to review the issue and see if we can help. Please contact our Customer Service team at 1-877-581-7375, available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM ET and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET. Our team would be happy to troubleshoot the vacuum with you and help determine whether there may be an issue affecting its performance. Kind Regards, Sharkninja

    The longest lasting upright vacuum.

    The ultimate pick for a durable vacuum. I’ve owned 3 of these for the last ten years and they are still going strong. They get into tighter corners than other brands, and maintain suction power as long as you perform the maintenance consistently. You can’t beat a shark for an upright vacuum.

    Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your Navigator Swivel Pro arrived with packaging that was damaged to the point that it was not suitable to give as a gift.

While we understand your decision to return the unit, we appreciate you giving Shark a try and hope you'll consider us again in the future and have the opportunity to experience the quality we strive to deliver.

    Long lasting vacuum.

    We got this vacuum as a shower gift 3 years ago and it is still one of our favorite products. It picks up all our dog hair, dirt and grime around the house. The only down fall is that hair gets stuck in the bottom and it has to be cleaned every now and again
