Shark Navigator Lift-Away $98 (Was $149)

My favorite vacuum is on sale today, and I couldn’t wait to share this deal with you.

I picked this one up a few years ago during a holiday sale, and I’ve been so happy with it ever since. When I saw the price drop again today, I knew I had to pass it along.

Kristie with Shark Navigator Lift away dlx

Is the Shark Navigator Lift-Away worth it?

Yes, especially if you want a budget friendly vacuum that still has strong suction and real versatility. It works well on both carpets and hard floors, and the lift-away feature makes it super easy to clean stairs, furniture, and hard to reach spots.

This Shark Navigator Lift-Away is on sale for $98 shipped today!

Regularly priced at $149, you will be saving a lot with this special deal today.

This one is slightly different than the one that I got a few years ago now. But I’m sure it will work just as well as mine still does several years later.

I’ve had my Shark Navigator for several years now, and it’s honestly one of those purchases I’ve never regretted.

It still works just as well as when I first got it, and I love that I can use it on different types of flooring without switching machines. The suction is strong enough to actually pick things up the first time, which saves so much time.

What really makes it stand out for me is the lift away feature. Being able to detach the canister and carry it makes cleaning stairs and furniture so much easier than dragging a full vacuum around.

Here’s why I love it so much:

  • It is super lightweight.
  • You can remove the base which makes it super easy to carry around.
  • Vacuuming stairs is no longer a huge chore for me.
Vacuum on stairs.

It has a setting on it that allows you to use the vacuum with the brush roller turned off.

No more needing to wrestle with the vacuum when I am trying to vacuum an area rug.

Shark Navigator vs More Expensive Vacuums

If you’ve looked at brands like Dyson, you already know vacuums can get expensive fast.

The Shark Navigator is a great alternative because:

  • It costs a fraction of the price
  • Still has strong suction
  • Gets the job done for everyday cleaning

For most homes, it does exactly what you need without overspending.

Is the Shark Navigator good for pet hair?

Yes, it has strong suction and works well for picking up pet hair from both carpets and furniture.

Is it heavy?

It’s considered lightweight compared to many upright vacuums, and the lift-away feature makes it even easier to handle.

Does it work on hardwood floors?

Yes, you can easily switch between carpet and hard floors.

How long does it last?

With normal use, many people (myself included) get several years out of it.

If you’ve been putting off buying a new vacuum because of the cost, this is a great time to grab one without overspending.

It’s one of those practical purchases that actually makes everyday life a little easier.

Attract Pollinators

Using your flower seeds is a great way to help attract pollinators like butterflies and honey bees to your area.

In the past 5 years, bee and butterfly have declined remarkably.

Saving these creatures is imperative to humankind since approximately 75% of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we eat are courtesy of pollinators.

Be sure to scroll down for more info on how to use your free seeds to attract pollinators to your gardens or simply to enjoy the beauty of the flowers.
