We contacted Shark customer support yesterday to ask what is the difference between Shark Lift Around Vacuum model# NP320, NP318, and NP319, here is their answer:

“These are all the same unit, the differences being the accessories included. The accessories will vary with each place of purchase.”

It seems that they all come with the detachable tool caddy, dusting brush, upholstery brush, crevice tool, flexible hose, telescopic tube, and the shoulder strap.

The manuals indicate:
NP318 has all the tools mentioned above.
Except for the above tools, NP319 also has a power brush.
Except for the above tools, NP320 also comes with a power brush, a straight suction floor tool, and a floor kit handle.

The information is just for your reference, please make sure what attachments the unit comes with before buying by asking the seller.

Main features of the Shark Lift Around vacuum:

One of the biggest features is its portability and light weight. It weighs only six pounds, light enough to carry up and down stairs, and carry around for cleaning hard to reach areas the upright vacuum hard to access. And it has shoulder strap that allows you vacuum conveniently and easily.cleaning easy and convenient.

No loss of suction is the feature that Shark emphasized. Shark claim that it can maintain the suction powerful during your vacuum, since it equipped with the advanced cyclonic technology that stops the filters from clogging by separating fine particles before it get to the filters.

It equipped with HEPA filter and the anti allergen complete seal technology which make it able to capture almost all dust, and nothing escape from the filter, so the air smells fresher.

Included several different cleaning tools that makes it a versatile cleaning machine.

Lifetime washable filters and no dust bag make it low cost to maintain. You do not need to keep changing and buying bags and filters.

The both have the lift away pod. So what is the difference between Shark Rotator Professional NV450 and Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away NV500 (501,502,503)?

The NV500 serials support the optional caddy accessory upgrade. Its lift away pod can be placed onto the canister caddy, thus it become a canister vacuum from an upright.
