Our Verdict
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe [NV360, UV440]
Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind
For the most part, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe is better than the Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind. The Shark performs much better on low- and high-pile carpets, it's easier to maneuver, and it can be used in a handheld configuration. However, the Hoover is easier to maintain and has a bigger dirt compartment.
