Our take on the Shark Upright Vacuum, Navigator Lift-Away
The Shark Navigator Lift-Away is an upright vacuum whose canister detaches from the floor head so you can carry it up stairs and along shelves. It uses a HEPA-rated filter and a sealed system aimed at trapping dust and allergens, and its brushroll has a self-cleaning design meant to keep hair from wrapping around it. It suits homes with carpet and hard floors that want one machine for both, and it is lighter and more maneuverable than many full-size uprights. Against newer cordless and premium uprights it gives up cordless freedom and some raw suction, but owners tend to rate its pickup and versatility highly for the money.
- Canister lifts off the floor head for stairs and above-floor cleaning
- Sealed system with a HEPA-rated filter
- Self-cleaning brushroll reduces hair wrap
- Swivel steering and a relatively light body

Questions and answers
- Is the Navigator Lift-Away good on both carpet and hard floors?
- Yes. It is built as an upright for carpet and has a mode for bare floors, so one machine covers both. Brushroll settings matter: use the floor setting on hard surfaces to avoid scattering debris.
- What does lift-away mean?
- The canister detaches from the floor head and nozzle, leaving a lighter unit you carry by the handle. You use it with the hose and tools for stairs, upholstery and above-floor spots.
- Does it have a HEPA filter?
- It uses a sealed system with a HEPA-rated filter, which is aimed at trapping dust and allergens. Filters need periodic rinsing and replacement, so check the filter regularly.
- Is it cordless?
- No. It is a corded upright, so you are limited by the cord's reach and will need to move between outlets in larger homes.
- How does it compare with newer Shark uprights?
- Newer models add features like powered lift-away and better filtration, but the Navigator Lift-Away keeps the core formula: strong carpet pickup, a detachable canister and a self-cleaning brushroll. It is a solid pick if you want those basics without extras.
- Does it come with attachments?
- It ships with onboard tools for crevices and upholstery, typically a crevice tool and a dusting or upholstery brush. Check the box contents for the exact set.
