The hose on my original Shark vacuum broke. I was so glad to see that I could buy a replacement part for it instead of buying a brand new vacuum. Replacing the old part with the new one was very easy. I vacuumed successfully for several minutes. Replacing this part makes me feel like I have a new vacuum cleaner again. I have always loved my shark, this situation only adds to why I love her so much. I highly recommend getting parts for your shark if you can and this seller is great. Fast delivery and received in excellent condition.
