Our Verdict

Shark Performance Plus Lift-Away

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pet

The Shark Performance Plus Lift-Away is a little better than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pet, though the latter is a good option if you don't want to spend as much. The Performance Plus has more tools, a more powerful motor, and a slightly more complex floorhead with an integrated headlight.
