I went to Target a few days ago and noticed something pretty neat looking that I hadn't seen before. It's called the Shark Navigator Freestyle..... Now as a rule, I don't like Euro-pro products, but much like Kia and Hyundai cars, they seem to be stepping up their game a bit. I just really like the looks of this thing. I haven't used it so I can't speak to how it works, and I can't find a commercial or infomercial about it online.... I can't even find it on their web site, but I think it looks great!

Of cousre they want 139 for it and I think that's a bit much for any Euro Pro product, but if I ever see one on C/L for a few pennies, I might buy it.

I also saw the new Bissell Lift off steam vac (they had it in red) and I was curious about it because I wondered where the switch would be on such a beast.... as I feared, the power switch is on the removable canister part on the top left side... you LITERALLY have to bend over to turn that thing on. Awful! Looks cheap too!

I went to Best Buy too and almost had a heart attack when they had a Hoover Linx stick vac for 49 dollars... I asked the lady to price check it and she said it was 179, somebody had just put that box in the wrong spot on the shelf! I was so disappointed.... I thought I'd actually found a deal! I would have definitely bought it for that price!

Anyway, here's the new Shark thing.... the pedal on the bottom is the power switch and bare floor control. It is cordless.

I saw that at Target yesterday as well. It actually looks like it would do pretty well, I'm not a fan of cordless vacuums though. Target also had a Bissell Lift Off Steam Mop! You could lift the center off and have a portable steamer with a hose. It looked pretty neat, but I believe it was $149...

IDK... It looks like just another gimmicky Shark vacuum with another worthless turbo powered brushroll...

Gimmicky?

I have a Navigator Lift-Away, and it's a great machine at a great price... How long it holds up remains to be seen, but it isn't a "gimmicky Shark" in my opinion. It has put a couple of Dysons to shame... proof is in the dust bin...

I seen a commercial for that Shark a few times, I got my Hoover Linx stick at Target marked down to 45.00 in January. I love it, and Im not much of a cordless fan either. I would have just said I wanted it for that price that was marked on it. I belive that IS what they are supposed to do. Im not a fan of BestBuy. They don't like you touching thier stuff thats on display.They have asked me not to touch the vacuums, and aslo not to open the washers and dryers, I said I wanted to know what it looks like inside if Im going to buy. They said there not toys just pick out what you THINK you want. I said I will at Sears, he said you will pay alot more there. I told him atleast they don't treat me like an ---hole. Nedless to say ive never been back.
