Shark Navigator - a flagrant Dyson copy at 1/3 the price?

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Shark Navigator - a flagrant Dyson copy at 1/3 the price?

Shark is going after the Dyson Ball pretty hard with the Navigator product. It claims no loss of suction and claims its just as easy to maneuver as the Dyson Ball. After acknowledging Dyson as the first to offer no loss of suction, they go for the throat. They do a direct comparison to a Dyson Ball and state that they are equal in all ways (easy to maneuver, no loss of suction, 5 year warranty) but price. For less than $200 you can get a Shark Navigator with a free steam cleaner thrown in to boot.

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Hi Carmine

Happy New Year to you too. I kind of like the "tidier" look of this new model as well as the ten-ear warranty it's sporting. Still won't mind it if the price comes down a just a tad.

Best,

Venson

Hello Venson:

This deal is directly through Shark. The Navigator Liftaway vacuum alone is selling for less at most retailers but comes without the Steam Mop and with only a 5 year warranty. Interestingly the older Shark Navigator upright rates a 90 percent on-line review rating of 4 stars or more at of 5. The newer Liftaway copies the BISSELL with the portable canister that seperates and offers the sealed HEPA with BAF seal and glide and twist maneuverability in upright mode.
