Our Verdict

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away [NV751, NV752]

Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin is better overall than the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away. It has outstanding performance on any surface and a longer range, and it's easier to maintain. You can use the Shark as a handheld vacuum, making it a better choice for cleaning stairs and cars.
