Our Verdict

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe [NV360, UV440]

BISSELL PowerForce Helix

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe is better than the BISSELL PowerForce Helix. The Shark feels sturdier, is slightly easier to maintain, has a longer range, and is easier to maneuver thanks to its pivoting head. The Shark's 'Lift-Away' design also makes it easier to maneuver, and the onboard HEPA filter results in significantly better allergen-sealing performance. However, the BISSELL weighs less, has a height-adjustable floorhead, and does a better job of handling pet hair on bare floors.
