Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe review

The Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe is the value pick among uprights. For $149.99 on Shark's US store, reduced from $199.99, it brings the same core ideas as the Stratos at a fraction of the price: a pod that lifts off the base for stairs and furniture, swivel steering, and an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with a HEPA filter. Shark lists a 1,200 watt motor, a 25 ft cord, a 5 ft hose and a weight of 14.42 lbs, and it carries the same 5-year limited warranty as Shark's pricier models. The filters are washable, so there are no bags to buy. What you give up is the two-brushroll head, the odor cartridge and the larger cup: the dust cup holds 0.9 qt, and the box includes only a crevice tool and an upholstery tool. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cleaning tests.
