Shark Navigator Compared To Upright - Tested: HEPA, Swivel… In our hands-on test, the Shark Upright Vacuum, Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe with Large Dust Cup Capacity (NV360) delivered a clean slate with ease. The HEPA filter worked wonders, trapping fine dust and allergens without fail, making it a favorite for allergy sufferers like us. Its swivel steering enabled smooth maneuvering around furniture, while the Lift-Away system added versatility for timely spills. The upholstery and crevice tools felt well-balanced for detailed jobs, though we noted the large dust cup reduced frequent emptying—perfect for busy homes. The blue design was sturdy, and the noise level stayed low under full power. While more robust uprights might outperform on raw suction, our team found the Navigator a reliable, all-in-one choice for most living spaces.
