I'll start with a disclaimer.....I've used a Kirby for years and felt confident that there was nothing better out there. WRONG! I recently joined a Facebook group called Laundry Love & Science....if you're not a member, you should be....seriously. These people are pure geniuses when it comes to all things cleaning. One item on there that seemed to be discussed repeatedly as of late was a Shark Rotator Liftaway Pro...and a few others in the Shark line. Everyone was enamoured with it's impressive cleaning abilities and so when I heard that my mom was looking for a new cleaner, we decided to try a shark. I ordered this one as opposed to the rotator lift away pro for my mom since she wanted something light weight, easy and cordless to use for spot cleaning (she also has a Kirby). I had it shipped to my house so I could put it together and take it to her....of course I thought I'd test it out, too, while it was here. So, to set the scene for how incredible I felt this vacuum was, you need to know that the night before my 3 yo came running into the kitchen saying he had stepped on something sharp. I asked him to let me see but he informed me he had already pulled it out of his foot and had thrown it back down on the floor (sigh....of course you did). It had made a small blood spot on his foot so clearly he had stepped on something, it's just that at this point, I had no idea what it was. He showed me where he had dropped it in our foyer on the carpet. I pulled out my Kirby and went to work. 45 minutes later, I felt like I had throughly cleaned that area 10 times over and that there was no way whatever had poked him could possibly still be there in the carpet awaiting it's next victim. Fast forward to the next day when I came home to find my Amazon purchase had been delivered. Yay! I immediately opened it and put it together, prepared to suck up nothing considering the extreme vacuuming that had occurred the night before. I was so very wrong. It pulled out a tremendous amount of dust, dirt, sand, carpet funk and just general yuck. I was absolutely dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that this tiny little CORDLESS vacuum had more power than my Kirby. Kirby had failed me. I emptied the canister (another bonus imo because it eliminated the stinky vacuum bag that I had grown accustomed to with Kirby) and proceeded to meticulously vacuum my house room by room. I did have to stop twice to allow the battery to recharge (the downside to cordless). But overall, I have zero negative comments about this vacuum cleaner and plan on buying a corded version for myself in the near future.

This Freestyle Upright Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum. Does the job well for the price? It works really good I recommend it.

We like how well it cleans the floors and rugs. Plus it is light weight.

This is my second Shark Navigator Freestyle!! My last one lasted for over 7 years and finally pooped out. Instead of replacing the battery pack I opted to get a whole new unit and will use my old one for parts if needed.I use this vacuum every day! We have a large home in the country with dogs, cats, and horses. I have tile floors with large rugs in several rooms and the soil here is very sandy. So now you know why I vacuum every day..... everyone tracks in everything from sand, dirt, grass, leaves, bugs etc. and my indoor dog sheds like crazy. This little vacuum is a work horse! It has great suction and picks up everything I need it to.Assembly is a cinch, less than 5 minutes. One screw to attach the handle so you will need a Phillips screwdriver. Mine came fully charged so I ran the vacuum through the living room, entry, hallways, dining and kitchen......full cup of dust and hair and I had just vacuumed the day before. Ran it again today in the same areas, another full cup of dust and hair. I can not be without this vacuum! I can get about 25 minutes of run time with each charge.I have read a lot of reviews saying it won't pick up cheerios or similar. The head is not designed to grab big things through the front but if you pull the vacuum toward you over those big pieces up they go, I have never had a problem with it.This little vacuum is just meant to be a quick sweeper to pick up the every day messes and keep your home clean on the fly. It is not meant to do the job of a $400 or more vacuum and has no on board tools. IMHO this vacuum has plenty of power and suction to pick up the every day dust, leaves, grass, pet hair and keep your home tidy in between vacuuming with the big vacuum which for me is once a week.One more thing, it is not meant to pick up liquid. If you try that you will likely have problems with clogging from sticky residue in the head and tunnel going to the collection cup.There are no bags. The collection cup is large and all the pieces including the filters are washable. If you do have a clog it is easily remedied with the push of one button to release the head.I highly recommend this product! I hope this helps!

really get up the dirt and etc well.

The media could not be loaded.  This is an excellent purchase. Lightweight. not top-heavy like the majority of canister vacuum. Very easy to clean goes from solid floor to carpet on its own. has two power modes. I bought a second battery, which is easily interchangeable, but have yet to need it because it keeps a Charge Long enough to vacuum my 2,500 sqft space. I have 2 children, 2 pit mix dogs, and live in the woods. We drag a lot in. I would definitely buy this vacuum again.
