Our Verdict

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe [NV360, UV440]

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed is better suited for more use cases than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe, though the vacuums are similar in terms of design. The Navigator Lift-Away is a little lighter, comes with a wider assortment of tools, can be maneuvered more easily, and delivers superior performance on all surface types. Meanwhile, the Deluxe has a marginally longer power cord and vacuum hose.
