I've had a shark for a very long time. I gave up the other one because it was constantly clogged. Recently someone told me that you should only use distilled water in it and that will prevent clogging. Fabulous! So I decided to give it another chance and bought this one. I've only used it a few times but it's even better than my old one! I'm so glad I decided to give it another try. Especially with our new tile floors! Works great! The only thing I would change would be to make the cable longer.
