Our Verdict
Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV
Shark Performance Plus Lift-Away UV900
The Shark Performance Plus Lift-Away UV900 is effectively an upgraded version of the Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV. The Performance Plus has a newer iteration of Shark's DuoClean floorhead that's a little more effective in preventing hair wraps as well as collecting debris on carpets, along with an odor-neutralizing cartridge in its floorhead. However, the older Rotator ADV does have a higher-capacity dustbin that won't need to be emptied as often.
