Yeah, I had an old Shark, but I ran over the cord in a few places. I put electrical tape over, but that really did not help. I ended up buy a newer Shark but a lesser model. I regret it to this day. I really do.. That old Shark was so good at vacuuming. The newer one stinks..Vacuum cleaners. I have a Dyson cordless and a nice Shark upright but when it comes to deep cleaning nothing beats my old Kenmore canister vacuum for suction power and the ability to vacuum crud for an hour or more without having to replace the bag.
My old upright Oreck can clean circles around the Sharks. Too bad it needs so much work, and does not have attachments.. sigh. If I had money, I would get it fixed, but too much: roller, side brushes, connetctions need to be tightened, HEPA filters need to be changed out. A lot of stuff. I would have to take it to a vacuum store to fix it fully. At the repair price, it would,d be cheaper to buy a new vacuum. It is my back up. I am just waiting for the Shark to die... I think I prefer bags rather than bagless.. especially with my allergies and asthma.
