Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, Pet Friendly, XL Dust Cup, CU512 Blue

This vacuum cleaner costs $40 more than the last one I bought but it's worth 10 times more. THE ROLLER DOES NOT MOVE UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO!!! It does not sling dirt everywhere when I vacuum the floor. It has a hepa filter that makes a huge difference. I have a 125 pound German Shepherd and he tracks in dust and dirt like crazy and sheds like nobody's business. I am constantly pulling out the vacuum. I am 56 and have arthritis in my hands and bone spurs in my shoulders. This vacuum is lighweight and easy to use. Best purchase of the year so far.

I purchased this on sale for I think $118. I've always bought the cheapest vacuums and I know this isn't the most high end by any means, but it does a great job! The suction is great - I needed something to handle 5 dogs (including a husky that I swear sheds his weight in hair a week). I also love that the canister can detach - very helpful!
