Our Verdict
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed
Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin is better for most uses than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed. Both vacuums perform similarly on bare floors, but the Dyson has a better performance on carpets. It's also easier to maneuver, comes with more tools and brushes, and has a much better range. However, since you can use the Shark in a handheld configuration, it's better suited for cleaning stairs and cars.
