Reddit mentions of Shark Navigator Freestyle Upright Stick Cordless Bagless Vacuum for Carpet, Hard Floor and Pet with XL Dust Cup and 2-Speed Brushroll (SV1106), White/Grey

The top comment for the Anker HomeVac mentions the Shark Navigator Freestyle is better. The Shark is also cheaper by about $12, even with the Anker on sale. Also, Fakespot shows the Shark to be better than the Anker.

I like both companies. I own a corded Shark Navigator vacuum, and an Anker portable charger. Both are great at what they do, but when it comes down to it, I'd go with what they specialize in.

1. I have both a standard coat and long haired GSD. My short haired girl actually sheds more, and it is bad, especially when she's blowing her coat, which happens once or twice a year. The reason our coatie doesn't seem to shed as much is because the undercoat shedding gets caught in the top layer. So not as many dropped hairs, but he requires more grooming in general to keep him from getting matts. I have one of these lightweight vacuums and it is truly amazing. We have hardwood floors and a quick once over with this over the floors and couch really keeps the floating hairs to a minimum. But if shedding is a deal breaker, definitely don't look into GSDs.
   
   
2. Dear god, yes, they have energy. I can't wear out my girl. We can hike for 3 miles (our normal route) and she's still bouncing and ready to go again. She's only 2 years old, but I've yet to find her limit. This is definitely a good exercise companion. But at the same time, they can come in and be complete couch potatoes every evening too. Both of mine have a good "off" switch that I've yet to find in other breeds.
   
   
3. We have two cats and two GSDs. My 2 year old who was exposed to cats from puppyhood does very well with them, but she still has a high prey drive. If one takes off running in front of her, she's going to chase it, but only for the thrill of the chase, not to harm it. My older boy, we adopted when he was already 8 years old, and he never had any exposure to cats. He's been a bit of trouble with them. It's been 8 months now and he isn't aggressive anymore, but doesn't really listen when we tell him to back down either. That being said, I keep a baby gate up to our bedroom, so the cats can jump it and have a safe place if the dogs are messing with them too much. I think if you get a puppy, and your cats are already used to large dogs, you shouldn't have a big issue at all.
   
   
4. In my experience with this breed, aggression can come from two places. Poor breeding and poor socialization. Both of those are avoidable. First, look for a reputable breeder who cares about the traits they breed into their dogs, and not just the looks or money. Because aggression is NOT a desirable trait in GSDs, and any dog exhibiting the slightest signs of aggression or unnecessary fear should not be bred. They should be approachable and fearless, but never aggressive. Meet with your breeder, and meet their dogs. Do your research. On the flip side, what you do as an owner during their first couple years of life also has a ton to do with how your dog will turn out. With the proper socialization and training they are wonderful animals! I have two children under the age of three and both my dogs absolutely adore them and fawn over them, even when my toddler pulls on her tail and tries to ride her my GSD has never, not once, shown fear or aggression towards them.
   
   They are wonderful family dogs, and extremely loyal towards their "packs." We've even done some schutzhund training with my girl, and she has never outwardly shown aggression to any stranger, just a calm alertness that I absolutely love. I know from her training what she is capable of physically, but she 100% takes cues from me. If I'm comfortable, she's comfortable, if I'm nervous, she's alert. We've never had issues with new people coming into our home, if my husband or I accept the person, so do the dogs.

We just bought this Shark vacuum and my 13mo loves to turn it on and off. Bonus: it’s rechargeable.

Ok, so for my whole life I wanted a cordless Dyson vacuum. They’re about $500 but amazing because you literally just charge it and it’s good to go for a couple of days of serious vacuuming. But once I got my Dyson, I realized that it can’t pick up a lot of dirt because it has such a small compartment. Also, it gets stuck on long carpet and doesn’t do well if you have pets.

But, around the same time I got my Dyson, my Mom got the Shark cordless vacuum which runs at about $80. She has rheumatoid arthritis, so vacuuming really hurts her hands. This vacuum was perfect for her and I wish I had gone with it instead of my Dyson. The rollers and dirt compartment are so much better than the Dyson, and it rolls easily on all types of carpet. My mother has three cats and never has to unblock the roller. So this is my definite recommendation.

Things you need on your wishlist: for good baths, for a healthy and satisfyingly sweet snack, and for the best game known to man. Trust me, that last game is one of the most creative games I have ever played.

I summon /u/denygfx because they are a dirty bird who needs to be punished!

The household chore I hate the most is doing laundry because it’s really like three chores in one (sorting, timing, and folding).
