I left this on the rare Shark vacs post but wanted to make a post solely about it, since I found out about it only about 3-4 years ago and saw one of these surprisingly in a Savers around Christmastime. Anyone here ever have this? I like the dark blue of it and it looks like kind of a cool bagged unit, but the reviews on how early Sharks overheated unfortunately made me pass on picking this one up. This was someone else's photo on Vacuumland but it was the only proper photo of it on the internet.

I think the Navigator was their first "hit" on a good design and they just went with it. Everything before that point was them just throwing darts at the wall and making goofy things and seeing what stuck. I think their thought process was "cool and futuristic" but it didn't translate well and they just came off as cheap and tacky. I regret not nabbing Euro Pros more when i saw them on eBay, uprights. I never would have guessed they would vanish completely in such a short time. (When I was a collector in 2017 first starting out I hammered eBay all the time) |

It looks a lot like one of the Spectra uprights.
