Stratos HZ3002 — Best Overall
Navigator Lift-Away NV360 — Best Budget
Stratos IZ862H — Best Premium
Shark uses the Navigator name on an upright and the Stratos name on sticks. One of these sticks is corded. One is cordless. The cord is the difference you will live with. The three products below are the ones this page will actually discuss, and each one keeps the role that matches its features. Best Overall is Stratos HZ3002. Best Budget is Navigator Lift-Away NV360. Best Premium is Stratos IZ862H. Black Friday is when those three get cropped into one row. Read the model, the size, and the included parts before you read the badge.
The Stratos HZ3002 is the Best Overall pick because of the features on its listing. The corded Stratos HZ3002 adds DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, a self-cleaning brushroll, an odor-neutralizer cartridge, LED headlights, and a hand vacuum stated under 3 lb, with continuous corded suction. That is a feature difference, not a ranking of who is cheapest this week. The other models on this page are Navigator Lift-Away NV360, Stratos IZ862H.
Match Model HZ3002. The family name gets reused. The model or style number is what keeps a nearby version out of the cart. Type on the Stratos HZ3002 is Corded stick. Color is Navy. Match it to the catalog photo. A review photo of another color is not this listing. Nozzle on the Stratos HZ3002 is DuoClean PowerFins HairPro. Hand vacuum on the Stratos HZ3002 is Converts to a handheld under 3 lb. Filtration on the Stratos HZ3002 is HEPA anti-allergen seal. Odor on the Stratos HZ3002 is Odor Neutralizer Technology. Lights on the Stratos HZ3002 is LED headlights. Included, as the listing states: Crevice tool, upholstery tool, odor neutralizer cartridge. If you are buying this for a battery, a cable, a remote, or a second tool, it has to be in that list. The part or style number to match is HZ3002. If the carton or the title shows a different number, you are looking at a different configuration of a related product. The variant on this page is Corded stick. Color, capacity, and kit contents inside that variant are part of the identity, not decorations. This configuration is listed as new. A renewed or used offer that reuses the photo is a different offer.
Choose the Stratos HZ3002 when it is the configuration you will actually use most days, not when it is merely the middle photo. Skip it when a single spec on another listing is the whole point of the search, such as a larger size, a battery the overall kit does not include, or a department this model does not fit. During Black Friday, confirm the model string in the cart after the page has pushed a bundle or a different color.
The Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is the Best Budget pick because of the features on its listing. The Navigator NV360 is a corded upright with Lift-Away, a 0.9-quart dust cup, HEPA filtration, swivel steering, and brushroll shutoff. It does not have the Stratos DuoClean PowerFins nozzle, odor neutralizer, or a cordless battery. That is a feature difference, not a ranking of who is cheapest this week. The other models on this page are Stratos HZ3002, Stratos IZ862H.
Match Model NV360. The family name gets reused. The model or style number is what keeps a nearby version out of the cart. Type on the Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is Corded upright. Color is Navy. Match it to the catalog photo. A review photo of another color is not this listing. Dust cup on the Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is 0.9 quart.

Brushroll on the Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is Shutoff for hard floors. Included, as the listing states: Upholstery tool and crevice tool. If you are buying this for a battery, a cable, a remote, or a second tool, it has to be in that list. The part or style number to match is NV360. If the carton or the title shows a different number, you are looking at a different configuration of a related product. The variant on this page is Upright. Color, capacity, and kit contents inside that variant are part of the identity, not decorations. This configuration is listed as new. A renewed or used offer that reuses the photo is a different offer.
The bullet says a 0.9-quart dust cup. A specifications row also lists capacity as 0.9 liters. Keep that limitation next to the model name when you decide.
Choose the Navigator Lift-Away NV360 when you want the simpler feature set this listing actually names, and you have checked the size, the contents, and the compatibility against your house. Skip it when the missing feature is the one you came for. That feature is on one of the other two listings, not hidden inside this one. Black Friday grids will still place it beside the more equipped models and hope the brand name does the persuading.
The Stratos IZ862H is the Best Premium pick because of the features on its listing. The cordless Stratos IZ862H adds Clean Sense IQ automatic suction boost, an LED display, odor neutralizer, DuoClean PowerFins HairPro, and up to 60 minutes of runtime. Those are electronic features the corded Navigator and corded Stratos do not list. That is a feature difference, not a ranking of who is cheapest this week. The other models on this page are Stratos HZ3002, Navigator Lift-Away NV360.
Match Model IZ862H. The family name gets reused. The model or style number is what keeps a nearby version out of the cart. Type on the Stratos IZ862H is Cordless stick. Color is Ash Purple. Match it to the catalog photo. A review photo of another color is not this listing. Runtime on the Stratos IZ862H is Up to 60 minutes. Sensing on the Stratos IZ862H is Clean Sense IQ. Nozzle on the Stratos IZ862H is DuoClean PowerFins HairPro. Filtration on the Stratos IZ862H is HEPA. Odor on the Stratos IZ862H is Odor Neutralizer. Dust cup on the Stratos IZ862H is 0.72 quarts. Included, as the listing states: Crevice tool and anti-allergen brush. If you are buying this for a battery, a cable, a remote, or a second tool, it has to be in that list. The part or style number to match is IZ862H. If the carton or the title shows a different number, you are looking at a different configuration of a related product. The variant on this page is Cordless stick. Color, capacity, and kit contents inside that variant are part of the identity, not decorations. This configuration is listed as new. A renewed or used offer that reuses the photo is a different offer.
Choose the Stratos IZ862H when you want the extra capability this listing describes and you can use it. Skip it when that capability does not fit the room, the carrier, the battery system, or the person wearing it. Premium here means the fuller feature set on the page. It does not mean a measured winner, and it does not mean the carton contains accessories the title never lists.
Shark Vacuum Black Friday Deals 2026: How to Choose
Start with the job, then the model string. Stratos HZ3002 is the overall configuration. Navigator Lift-Away NV360 is the simpler one. Stratos IZ862H is the fuller one. Write down the one spec you cannot compromise on, whether that is size, carrier, battery, resolution, or fit, and drop any listing that fails it. A shared brand is not a shared product.
Check the box list against the title when it arrives. Black Friday photos add monitors, batteries, bags, and second bottles that the carton does not contain. Keep the packaging until the model number on the product matches the title. A scuffed outer box is not the same problem as the wrong model inside it.
Use the return window for fit and compatibility. A correct model that is the wrong size for the room, the foot, the bed, or the vehicle is still a return, and it is a cleaner return before anything is washed, registered, or worn outside. Do not wait for a later coupon to fix a mismatch you can already see.
None of these three is a price prediction. If a seller adds a percentage off, that number is the seller’s offer for that hour, not a fact this page can freeze. What you can freeze is the identity: Navigator Lift-Away NV360 for the simpler feature set, Stratos HZ3002 for the everyday configuration, and Stratos IZ862H for the fuller one. Match the listing, then decide whether the offer in front of you is worth completing.
