Though both of the Shark Rocket original and Shark Rocket Powerhead are lightweight vacuum, they belong to 2 different types of vacuum cleaners. If you do some research, you will find that they are very different from each other and they meet different cleaning needs. So you’d better learn the main difference between them before placing an order so that you buy the right one.

Design
You can use the Rocket as a stick or a handheld vacuum whereas the Rocket Powerhead is just a compact upright, it cannot transform into a handheld.
The Powerhead is designed for cleaning floors only, it has no attachments, it does not support any attachments.
The Rocket is a more versatile vacuum, it can connect with tools to clean upholstery, curtains, crevice, etc. It has cleaning wand that allows you to vacuum high and low areas.
So, if you want a vacuum to clean everything, anywhere around your house, you definitely would not like to buy the Powerhead.

Power
The Powerhead is more powerful, its technical specifications are 600W, 120V., 60Hz, 5A versus 500W, 120V., 60Hz, 4.2A on the Rocket.

Suction Control
The Rocket has no suction control.
The Powerhead has suction control on the nozzle.

Cleaning Width
They both have low profile head to get under furniture, but Rocket has lighter and narrower head to get into smaller spaces.

Storage
The Rocket is wall mountable whereas the Powerhead does not.

Weight
They are lightweight vacuum cleaner, both weigh less than 9 lbs.
The Rocket has a motor on the handle part, so it is a little too heavy at handle. And this also disable it from standing by itself.
The Powerhead has most the weight on the floor because the motor and dust cup are on the head, you feel almost no weight in the handle.

Hard Floor Cleaning
The Rocket comes with Dust-Away Floor Tool with Microfiber Pad for getting your hard floor dust free.
The Powerhead has a all surface brushroll for cleaning from carpets to hard floors. Some Powerhead models like AH452 also include an interchangeable Gentle Touch hard floor brushroll that is designed specifically for bare floors.

Similarities.
They are corded and bagless, dust bin is small, needs to be emptied often.
They have washable filter, fingertip control, motorized brushroll with 2 speeds, swivel steering.
They have no brush off control nor manual carpet height adjuster.

Ad:

If you need a lightweight vacuum cleaner for quick pick ups, vacuum stairs, under bed, cobwebs, etc., the Rocket is a good choice.
If you want a low profile compact vacuum with more stronger suction for only carpet and hard floors, the Powerhead meets your needs.

Navigator Powered Lift Away vs Rotator Powered Lift Away

Both of the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away and Shark Navigator Powered Lift-Away are Powered Lift Away models.
The “Powered Lift Away” vacuum cleaners not only allow you to lift away the canister pod, but also allow you to use the motorized nozzle in lift away mode to vacuum under those hard to reach areas such as under the low profile furniture.

Here we will discuss some differences between the Rotator Powered Lift Away, such as the TruePet NV752, and Navigator Powered Lift Away, such as the NV583 and NV581.

Power Control
The Rotator Powered Lift Away has the Power Switch on the handle whereas the Navigator Powered Lift Away has the Power Switch on the top of the canister.
So the Rotator fingertip power button provides more convenient control than the Navigator.

Floor Selector and Suction Control
The Navigator has 2 surface options – Hard Floor and Carpet, it also has a Suction Control slider that allows you to adjust the suction power depending on your preference.
Whereas the Rotator has 3 surface options – Hard Floor, Carpet/Low Pile, and Thick Carpet/Area Rug. But it does not offer a Suction Control to let user get variable suction power. The 3 preset floor modes offer different suction level, the Hard Floor generates best suction, and the Thick Carpet/Area Rug produce low suction.

LED Light on Handle
The Rotator has LED light on the handle which the Navigator does not have.

Warranty
According to user manual, the Rotator carries a 7 year limited warranty versus 5 year on the Navigator.

Cord Length
The Rotator has a 30 ft. cord versus 25 ft. on the Navigator.
