Our Verdict

Miele Classic C1

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe [NV360, UV440]

The Miele Classic C1 is a better overall canister vacuum than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe. The Miele is better built, is easier to maintain, and has a larger dirt compartment. It's also more portable, has better maneuverability, and comes with an extension wand and a soft-bristle brush. Its performance on bare floors is significantly better than the Shark, too. However, the Shark slightly outperforms on low- and high-pile carpets. It also incurs lower recurring costs as a result of its bagless design.
