Our Verdict
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed
Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed and the Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV have different advantages, and you may prefer one over the other depending on your needs. The cheaper Navigator has a bigger dirt compartment and a lighter construction. That said, the Rotator is better built and has a longer power cord and vacuum hose. It also has a twin-roller head with a soft brushroll for improved debris pickup on hard floors.
