Should You Buy the Shark Navigator?
The Shark Navigator comes with a wide range of included accessories, an XL Dust bin, swivel steering, and the 2-in-1 ability to run as an upright or a handheld canister vacuum.
Want a lower price tag - While the difference is not significant, the Shark Navigator does generally fall at a lower price than the Shark Rotator Pro. While both are affordable, the Navigator Pro will leave a little extra in your pocketbook.
Want a larger dust bin capacity - If you want a larger dust bin, the Shark Navigator Pro is the vacuum to go with, as the dust bin has almost twice the capacity of the Shark Rotator Pro.
Should You Buy the Shark Rotator?
The Shark Rotator Lift-Away Pro is only slightly more expensive than the Shark Navigator. If you prefer the sleeker design and improved usability, and won’t miss the larger dust bin of the Navigator, the Rotator Pro could be a great option for you.
I would recommend the Shark Rotator Lift-Away Pro to people who:
Want a sleeker look - If you’re concerned with aesthetics, the Shark Rotator Pro is a sleeker model. It comes with accessories that match the white style of the body of the vacuum and bright red accents help to highlight special areas and features.
Want more accessories - The Shark Rotator comes with all of the same accessories as the Shark Navigator, but also includes an upholstery brush. Depending on the type of cleaning you do, this could be an important feature for you.

Mine seems to get overheated in the motor and then literally stop working even when I turn the power on. So I keep thinking the vacuum burned out and then 30 minutes later I just happen to try it again and it works brand new again. I feel like sooner or later it's just gonna stay dead completely but have you had that issue? And if you did .. what can I do about it? Thank you 🙏🏼

@ModernCastle Жыл бұрын

@@tonyfuri9693 I've not experienced this issue. If I did, my first action would be clean everything I could in the machine. If it's an overheating issue a good cleaning with a rag + compressed air usually can fix it.

My last 2 Sharks were of the Navigator variety and when you lifted the canister portion away you could still use the base with the rollers as a super low profile mode. I could get under my couch without adding any attachments. All they had at Costco when I went to replace my old one was of the Rotator line and when you lift away the functional part of the vacuum is just sitting there unused. Also not having to push the weight of the canister section is easier on my hands and wrists. Not sure if the Navigator you showed here did this or not but for me this is the main difference of these models. For this reason I totally hate the Rotator that I have. Not being able to use the main vacuum base with the detached canister in your hand is totally stupid.

I have the rotator lift away pet pro model & I can remove the canister portion & use the base with rollers to get under very low furnishings.

@MarkUnique Жыл бұрын

That's a Powered Lift Away model, as opposed to just Lift Away, and not a Navigator vs Rotator thing.

The cleaning scores are the percentage of total debris removed based on our 12 standard cleaning tests. moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaners/ - if you look at any of our tests here you'll see the full data for all vacuums

Where do you push the “lift away” button on the rotator?

@ModernCastle 2 жыл бұрын

It's one of those red buttons in the middle of the vacuum, at the same level as the canister, but on the vacuum frame itself.

@black7jesus 2 жыл бұрын

i have the rotator. I want to use on my hard floors. it’s kind of roll hard on the floor. is that normal? Do i need to adjust the floor base or something?

@ModernCastle 2 жыл бұрын

That's normal. There is a hard floor setting, but there is no adjustment to the floor base. It's not exactly great for hard floors.

@AndreaRaissa 11 ай бұрын

How do you lift away but leave the main cleaning device, to get under beds?

@ModernCastle 11 ай бұрын

The lift away is intended for cleaning with the attachment / hose / wand. So you'd life it off the vacuum and then use one of the smaller attachments to clean under beds.

@thepinkerbelle1 9 ай бұрын

I inherited both and they are 10yrs old. Both are great and both have been through a lot so I had to replace parts. Definitely looking into a new shark if them both die on me.

@ModernCastle 9 ай бұрын

10 years is a miracle lifespan for most modern vacuums. If they died soon it would be 100% normal.

@nataliegalbraith Жыл бұрын

It looked like the hose length significantly varied between the two models yet this was never addressed? When cleaning with the lift away this is an important variable that will make a big difference to ease of use.

@ModernCastle Жыл бұрын

If I remember correctly the hoses are exactly the same length.

Since when are $300 vacuum cleaners considered "budget-friendly"? Especially when you can get a Hoover WindTunnel 3 with just as much suction power for about 120 bucks.

@ModernCastle 2 жыл бұрын

The cost with super cheap vacuums is they basically create a bigger mess than they could ever clean up. Most cheap vacuums don't utilize a sealed system, and therefore fling dust and debris around your home. As a result, we generally have just stopped testing cheap vacuums. But I'm not sure what you're talking about $300....the Navigator is $165 and the Rotator is $279.

@joshuaewalker 2 жыл бұрын

@@ModernCastle So, $279 plus tax doesn't count as $300 to you? And I'd hardly consider the WindTunnel3 Pro Pet Max or whatever it is a "cheap vacuum". I spent $600 on a Dyson and barely liked it. I got the Hoover on sale for a little over a 100 and it's great. You tell me, is it a sealed system?

@ModernCastle 2 жыл бұрын

@@joshuaewalker Wind Tunnel 3 is not sealed. Note this in the product description... "Carbon and HEPA Media - filter made with HEPA Media and odor-absorbing carbon layer" "made with HEPA media..." That is marketing speak for "not actually a HEPA filter". The Wind Tunnel 3 is $140. At what price point would you consider a vacuum to be cheap? If that's not it, I don't know what is.

@joshuaewalker 2 жыл бұрын

@@ModernCastle Did you seriously delete my last comment?! Or did you just turn on comment reviews? How petty either way. Long story short: Hoover WindTunnel 3 High Performance Pet Upright (typically 239.99) bought for 109.99. Sealed system with a true HEPA filter. Value vs. cost compared to the Shark is enormous. Actually capable of being repaired and finding parts, unlike the Shark that will have to be thrown away as soon as one part breaks.

@@joshuaewalker I did not delete your previous comment. Comment moderate has always been enabled on this channel, though I rarely look through that queue. In any case, we can agree to disagree. If the WindTunnel works for you that really is all that matters. In my experience, the Hoover and WindTunnels I've tested have all been pretty bad. It's not a vacuum I would ever recommend.
