Our Verdict

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe [NV360, UV440]

Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra

The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra is better than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe. The Dyson has a height-adjustable floorhead, making it easier to maneuver on thick carpeting, a more powerful suction motor, and a longer range. It also incurs lower recurring costs and is easier to maneuver despite its heavier build. That said, the Shark's 'Lift-Away' design does make it a little easier to clean tight spots.
