Try to find some info online to compare Shark NV400 and NV402, but cannot get what I am looking for.
Then I contacted Shark customer support, asked them what’s the the difference between Shark NV400 and NV402. Here is their answer:
“The unit itself is the same, the difference would be what attachments may come with the unit.”
Hope this help those who have the same question as I did.

At this moment, you can find that DC41 price at Dyson.com is $599.99 while NV22L price at sharkclean.com is $149.99. So, as for price, they are not in the same level. If just considering the price, maybe we should not compare these two vacuum cleaners, since it is unfair to require a vacuum cleaner priced at $150 to perform as great as one that costs $550.
Cord Length: DC41 has a longer cord.
DC41 has a 35 ft power cord while the cord length of NV22L is 30 ft.

The Shark Navigator NV22L is one of the best selling upright vacuum cleaners on the market, it receives high rating among users, in addition, considering its much cheaper than DC41 and offers a 5 year limited warranty. We prefer NV22L to DC41. As for the DC41, it is really pricey compared with NV22L. But if you are a Dyson fan, and have the money to buy it, then it is worth the try.
