Shark navigator pro... I bought one today

14 years ago

I was so tired of wrangling my heavy wind tunnel, when I had chemo treatments 11 years ago, my friend paid for a cleaning lady, and the cleaning lady broke all of the places that held the extra tubes and attachments. The cord had been run over a few times and the rubber outer shell was chewed up.

I vacuumed last night and then this afternoon I came home, tried the vac out and it DID pick up a lot more dog hair and dirt. I was surprised! lol it seems smaller, I love how it maneuvers. It's not as wide, but boy does it go everywhere! And it's not NEAR as heavy.

I signed DH up on BB and Beyond's email list so I could get

a 20 percent coupon! yea! (I was already signed up)

thanks for doing all the research Raven! lol

FYI...even thought I "think" everyone knows this...BB & B accepts their coupons even after they expire! The only exception is their 20% now / 10% after the specified date, are just that. Their "value" is reduced to 10% after a few weeks or so.

I'm sure you will enjoy it. Well, as much as one can enjoy a vacuum. LOL. A lot of power for a pretty inexpensive machine.

I wouldn't worry if you can't find that violet fertilizer. Though a few people swear by it, I do not recommend it at all. Its 5-50-18 formula has around 30 times more phosphorus than most plants can use, which just unnecessarily increases the mineral concentration in the soil. The goal should be to provide what the plant will use, and nothing more. Any fertilizer with an N:P:K ratio near 3:1:2 would be a good choice. I really like Dyna-Gro's Foliage Pro 9-3-6, but there are plenty of other good choices as well. Miracle Gro's all purpose plant foods (24-8-16 or 12-4-8 depending on solid or liquid) fit the bill. Even a common 10-10-10 formula will work if that's the best you can find. I would just try to avoid extreme formulas like the 5-50-18 mentioned above.

Bought my lyre coffee table today - revisiting layout

Thanks squirrel. That is more of less how I had the sofa before. I agree it does not need to be centered. The rule of thumb I've always followed is to either center or put off center to make it look intentional. I'll try playing with the chairs and drum tables. In that pic they are both on the sofa side, though I've been playing around with a few different arrangements. I'm going to leave in about 1 hour for the painting--hope it looks as good IRL as your photoshopped version. Need to know, though, about the console/demilune table as that lady is having a garage sale (and it's kindof on the way), yey or nay..... Not sure if you saw my other thread about art placement and botancial prints I started yesterday. I could really use some help there--about how to display and group the prints since it looks like I'm going to have to go to some expense to frame, I want to do it right.

Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations
Q
Comments (9)
There's been a few threads started about vacuum cleaners. I bought the Shark navigator lift away pro about 2years ago I guess and still think that it's the best vacuum available. Shark has come out with a few new models which are probably about the same. My cleaning lady has used about every kind of vacuum cleaner made and she tells me every time she comes how much she loves my vacuum. She is saving money to buy one just like it for herself. You can find it at bed bath and beyond and use their 20% coupon, Walmart also has a good price on them but the ones at Walmart have slightly different contents in the box. I got mine at Walmart. It comes with a separate attachment for smooth floors too. We are extremely happy with it and would definitely buy it again and I have highly recommended it to several people. Many of them here and many bought it too.

Sharp Navigator Vacuum
Q
Comments (3)
you must have missed the threads on it here but if you do a search for Shark Navigator lift away Pro on this forum you will find many of them. I have that model and it is with out a doubt the best vacuum I have ever had and I still own a Kirby and a Kenmore but the Shark is pretty amazing. If you want more real reviews there are a lot on amazon Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum the Pro model has a much bigger debris container and this thing will fill it up, it picks up so much more than any of my other ones. you ask about corners this one has the lift off canister so you can use the wand to get corners or high, difficult places. I got mine at walmart for $189 but you can get a Bed Bath and Beyond 20% off coupon and get it there for less. Navigator

You'll be pleased with your purchase. I had a Hoover bagless I hated, mostly because it didn't suck. It was recommended to me by my worst enemy, the dreaded MIL. Replaced with Shark Navigator Liftaway , the purple one. I LOVE IT!!!

Oh good for you!! I know it is so easy to move it around, in the commercial she is dancing around the living room swerving around things, I am not dancing but it does get around!

There is only one PRO version of this particular one, It is the Shark Navigator Lift away PRO, it is a white vacuum the regular model that is not PRO is purple. Shark has many vacuums however so being sure it is this particular one is important. This is it on amazon.(there is not much difference in the purple and white in price or in function but the white pro does have a larger debris container, some places have them both for the same price)

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum - Model NV356

you may see a different number than the NV356 if you are buying at walmart or some other store that has their own specific codes. Mine is from walmart so the number is slightly different. Not sure if BBB has a different number. QVC might since theirs does come with added accessories.

The suction on this vacuum is amazing. I have a large rug in my living room, that thing will suck down onto that rug and you can not move it, my cleaing lady said oh no what now, well there is a collar that you can turn that allows some air into the suction so that it "lightens up" and then you can move it. So if you find you are stuck LOL that is how to use it on rugs and stuff like that.

I have noticed that when I use that sprinkle stuff on my carpets it tends to really get in the foam filter that is where the lift off part connects, I try to remember to clean my filters regularly as they suggest.

I am so glad those of you with it are happy. I know I am.

here is the official page it probably lists the differences between the pro and regular here

Yep.. Mine is the bigger white one, Ruthie. I just checked the box and I don't see a number on it. Thank you Houstonmom. No, I didn't know that about their coupons. I've been to the store only 3 times! lol Now I'm in the loop! lol

I don't know about the Shark Navigator but I just bought the new Shark Rotator and I love it! I got it for at a good price at BBB, using the 20% off coupon. It was expired but they still accepted it. I was also told by an employee that they also discount the brands that are listed as "excluded" and they only list them because the companies insist on it. I hope all the good reviews I read about the Navigator also apply to the Rotator!

msgenie - BBB has been accepting their expired coupons for years. Yesterday I used one from 2014! So hold on to all of them - even when they've expired.

That's great, kacram. It's wonderful to have good tools to do needed work. I don't need a vacuum cleaner, but if/when I do, I'll definitely take a look at the Shark. They sure are popular.

I love my shark vacuum... Every once in a while after you empty the canister take the time to wash it out with soap and water and also wash out the foam filters, it's amazing the dust and dirt particles they capture. I don't care how clean of a person you are after a while vacuum cleaners are known for not smelling good but I don't find the Shark to be that way at all.

I am still loving mine! Yes I do occasionally wash the filter and let it dry thoroughly before using again and I clean the dust container, after I clean it I spray a little lysol on a paper towel and wipe inside the canister. I have never had a problem with any smells or oder in mine either.
