Why it's buy-it-for-life
Bought in 2018 as a stopgap for a son moving out, it has since survived seven years of no-regard bachelor use followed by toddler-era abuse, needing only one filter cleaning, and still runs powerful and smooth.

Fast-forward seven years and that thing is STILL going strong... it's still powerful and smooth.
I don't mind our shark navigator. At least 8 years old, and just replaced the motor with one I bought on eBay for 30 bucks.
