Our Verdict

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away [NV751, NV752]

Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind

The Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away is better to use on carpets, while the Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind is better for bare floors. The Shark cleans most hair and large debris on all surface types. It has better maneuverability and isn't as heavy. The Hoover has a better range, and it's easier to maintain.
