Shark Navigator vs Rotator vs Rocket vs APEX vs Vertex: Comparison

 

When it comes to vacuums, we are interested in the ones that have the capability to clean up pet hair.

Shark has several ranges of vacuums that fit into this category.

In this guide, we’ve compared the Shark Navigator vs Rotator vs Rocket vs APEX vs Vertex ranges and models.

We’ve listed some of the main features of each vacuum, and considered which one might be better to get.

The information should help you decide whether you want to look further into them or not.

Let’s take a better look at them.

Shark Navigator vs Rotator vs Rocket vs APEX vs Vertex: Main Differences, & Which To Get?

We’ve outlined what each range and model offers in the guides linked to in the ‘Main Features’ section below (click through to those guides for greater detail on each model).

But, as a summary:

 

Navigator

Consists of the Lift Away, Deluxe, Professional, Speed, Pet Pro, Pet Plus, and Freestyle models.

We think the Deluxe and Professional models are two of the best mid tier vacuums on the market. They come with both regular Lift Away capability, and a range of cleaning tools. The Professional model currently comes with a Pet Power Brush tool.

The Pet Pro and Pet Plus models are made to deal with pet hair.

These are all corded vacuums.

The Freestyle model on the other hand is a cordless, battery operated vacuum.

 

Rotator

Consists of the Professional and the TruePet, and both are well rated.

They both have swivel steering, and rotator technology.

The TruePet offers the point of difference of having Powered Lift Away compared to regular Lift Away.

Powered Lift Away allows the brush in the vacuum head to keep spinning whilst the canister/pod is lifted away.

 

Rocket

The above vacuum ranges are mostly upright vacuums.

The Rocket range is mostly stick vacuums, and there’s several models in the Rocket range (Ultra Light, Pet, Pet Pro, Deluxe Pro/Pet Plus, and DuoClean), 

They are mostly corded, but there’s a cordless stick model as well.

They mostly have the ability to detach into a handheld vac from the full length stick vac as well.

The Rocket range of vacs are a great option as more affordable to mid tier stick vacs.

 

APEX

There’s both upright, and stick vacuums in the APEX range.

The APEX DuoClean upright has Powered Lift Away, the DuoClean brush system (with dual drushrolls – a soft brush and a bristle brush), and a Zero M brush roll that is designed to deal with pet hair wrap.

The APEX stick vacs are designed to be more powerful than the Rocket range stick vacs.

 

Vertex

Also has an upright vacuum model, and stick vacuums available.

The upright model has Powered Lift Away, the DuoClean Powerfins brush roll design. Powerfins DuoClean consists of a Powerfins brush for constant and deep cleaning, and a soft roller for fine cleaning and polishing.

The stick vacuums also have the Powerfins system, and are designed to be more powerful than the Rocket stick vacs.

The Vertex range is currently Shark’s most advanced/latest range of vacuums.
