As soon as Amazon’s Prime Mega Sale commenced, consumers were swept up by a vacuum cleaner we’ve deemed the “Best Overall” from our 2025 vacuum cleaner evaluations. The Shark Navigator Lift Away Deluxe, which also earned top honors for “Best Upright” and “Best HEPA,” is currently available at $160. But did you realize that there’s a sibling model? It’s on sale for $150 and is called the Shark Navigator Lift Away Upright Vacuum.
This model is almost identical to the one that aced our testing across various categories, excluding a few premium features found in the newer model. Thanks to the substantial discounts during October Prime Day, you can secure this allergen-resistant vacuum for just $150.
This vacuum is also a top seller on Amazon, boasting nearly 83,000 five-star reviews. It’s recognized for its innovative “lift-away” feature—a removable pod that can be employed to access elevated surfaces like ceilings, molding, and fans with the assistance of the dusting brush attachment. Attach the pet power brush to tackle smaller surfaces prone to pet hair accumulation, such as sofas, armchairs, pet beds, and carpeted stairs. For tight spots and corners, use the crevice tool, which is particularly useful for areas under furniture that typically require bending or getting down on hands and knees. The vacuum is also equipped with a user-friendly swivel steering system, making it easy to navigate around furniture and corners without additional tools.
Similar to the Deluxe version, this vacuum features a HEPA filter that captures up to 99.9% of dust and allergens, making it an excellent choice for pet owners dealing with cat and dog dander or individuals susceptible to seasonal allergies or asthma. Like the Deluxe, which topped our list of the best HEPA vacuums, the Lift Away model excels on all types of surfaces, from tile and hardwood to medium- and high-pile carpeting.
One criticism we had of the Deluxe was its weight, weighing nearly 16 pounds. However, the Lift Away model is lighter at 13.7 pounds, and both vacuums have similar dust bin capacities—the Deluxe at 0.9 quarts and the Lift Away at 0.87 quarts. Regardless of which model you choose, you won’t have to frequently empty the dust canister, allowing for longer and more efficient cleaning sessions.
