eta: I read only the first comment - didn't know how great the Shark love was!
I also have a Shark Navigator that I like a lot, and it is lightweight. Mine is about 7 years old, but I looked quickly on Shark's website and it looks a fair bit like the Navigator NV22. I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond and probably got 20% off - don't remember for sure.
It doesn't have tons of bells and whistles, but enough for me. It has a bare floor switch (no beater brush rotating), regular carpet (beater brush rotates), and lots of attachments, including a 2-part skinny thing that has me vaccuming ceilings and corners I never did before. It stopped working once, and I found a youtube video from a vaccum shop worker that exactly fixed my problem (sock hidden in the joint where hose met base). The only two downsides are minor: it's a little top heavy and tips over a little when using attachments, and the dirt canister is small and needs to be emptied after almost every use. No biggie.
