The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pet is a satisfactory option for cleaning low-pile carpet. It does a decent job of clearing away most kinds of debris on this surface type, even if another pass might be required to get every last bit. It feels decently well-built, with a body made mainly from thick plastic, and incurs low ownership costs thanks to its bagless design. That said, it has quite a few parts you'll need to clean periodically. Unfortunately, its power cord is a little on the short side.
