Our Verdict
Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pet ZD201
The Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002 is more full-featured than the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pet ZD201, which isn't surprising given its higher price point. The Stratos has a more powerful motor, a longer power cord, and comes with a mini turbo brush. The Stratos also has a power socket at the base of its hose instead of the base of its motor unit, allowing you to use its floorhead even in its Lift-Away alternative configuration. That said, the Navigator is a lot lighter.
