Is the Shark Navigator ADV good for pet hair?

Yes. Its 9.5-inch brush roll and strong suction handle pet hair on carpets well, and the HEPA filter helps trap dander. You may still need to clean the brush roll of wrapped hair periodically.

Does it work on hard floors?

Yes, it cleans hard floors as well as carpets. The brush roll is always on, so on delicate hard floors use gentler passes or a dedicated hard-floor setting if your model has one.

How does it compare with newer Shark uprights?

Newer Sharks add lift-away pods and tangle-free brush rolls, which make stairs and long hair easier. The Navigator ADV keeps the core suction and HEPA filtration but is heavier and lacks those extras.

Is it bagged or bagless?

It is bagless, with a removable dust cup you empty into the trash. The foam and HEPA filters are washable, so there are no bags to buy.

The vacuum, a crevice tool, an upholstery tool and a dusting brush are typically included. Check the listing for the exact attachments bundled with your model.

Is it good for stairs?

The 6 ft hose and tools let you clean stairs, but the 12.35 lb body is heavy to balance on steps. A lift-away model is easier if stairs are a big part of your cleaning.
