I am glad that you identified the model you used. I had looked at many of the advertisements and commercials and said I wanted one, but already have three vacuums and could not justify buying another one. I don't even do any cleaning except the toilets and bathroom sinks since I had some bad falls followed by other problems. Just recently, my husband picked up the vacuum to use and the hose came apart. I guess I'm closer to a Shark than I realized.
