Our Verdict
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed
Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed is much better than the Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind. The Shark has better performance on all surface types, it comes with a soft bristle brush, and it can also be used in a handheld configuration. However, the Hoover has a longer range and a bigger dustbin.
