Bagless Vacuum = All Shark Navigator and Rotator vacuums are bagless. Bagless vacuums store dirt and dust in its onboard dust bin which is detachable. You do not need to purchase bags, just take the dust bin to your trash can, to empty it. Most bagless vacs require that you clean the filter from time to time.
Lift-Away Canister = Shark Navigator vacuums have a detachable canister on their uprights, so that you can vacuum stairs, and other hard to reach areas.
DuoClean Brushroll = Shark has a new dual brushroll technology that allows for trapping large particles and fine dust. The DuoClean Brushroll will work on both carpets and hard floors. It is available on the new Apex DuoClean AZ1002 and the DuoClean NV803
Zero-M Technology = The newest Shark vacuums have Zero-M, which actively removes hair and threads so they don’t wrap around the brushroll. Zero-M is available on the new Apex DuoClean AZ1002 Vacuum.
Built-in Headlights = The Shark TruePet NV752, the Rotator NV501, and the Apex DuoClean AZ1002
all have built-in headlights so that you can see dirt and dust as you are vacuuming and to avoid vacuuming objects you don’t want to vacuum up.
Canister Caddy = The Shark Truepet NV752, the NV501, and the NV552 “Rotator” Navigator vacuums have a canister caddy with wheels, making it different from other Shark models. This allows the Lift-away canister to act like a regular canister that follows you on your floors like a traditional canister vacuum on its wheels.
HEPA Filter = A HEPA filter is the best type of dirt filtration on a vacuum. This will remove the smallest particles of dirt, dust, and pet hair so that you don’t breathe in what you are vacuuming. This is especially important for those with allergies.
Fingertip Controls = The Shark Shark NV752 TruePet has built-in Fingertip Controls right on the handle to adjust from thick carpet, low pile carpets and area rugs, and bare hard & hardwood floors. No more bending over to adjust the brushroll.
Complete Seal Technology = Shark vacuums have sealed systems to hold in dust, dirt, pet hair, allergens from escaping the vacuum.
Cyclonic = Shark’s system prevents dirt from clogging the filter, so that you have maximum suction at all times.

Turbo or Motorized Pet Tool? = Many Shark vacuums include a mini air powered turbo tool to vacuum upholstery, car seats, and other areas. This is especially useful for removing pet hair. One vacuum called the Shark NV752 TruePet comes with a better Motorized Pet Tool, which is powered by electricity instead of air, for more power to clean pet hair, dirt and dust.
What is the difference between the Shark Navigator and the Rotator? = The main difference between these models is that the NV501 and NV552 Rotator includes a wheeled caddy to carry the canister around, while the Navigator has a detachable canister that is carried by hand.

The TruePet NV752 has the best features in the rotator series, with a motorized pet tool, and motorized brush with the canister.
