Our Verdict

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away [NV751, NV752]

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed is better overall than the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away. The Navigator performs much better on bare floors, is more maneuverable, and is lighter to hold. That said, the Rotator has a somewhat better performance on low-pile carpet, a slightly bigger dirt compartment, and a longer range.
