I bought a shark as a temporary vacuum this week. Seems pretty good. Will put it on my truck, when I get it back. By the way, it was new.

If it’s not the Powered Lift-Away, you bought the wrong one.

Lift-Away DLX? Even so, it’s not a used Oreck off of Ebay. I didn’t GAS, I just needed a substitute vacuum so I didn’t have to do it!
Should have got used. 
Mine arrived nice and clean. I was a bit disappointed.

Most, if not all of you would use your work vacuum in your own home so leave poor Damon alone, assholes...

Since when does Damon need an advocate?
One thing about my Shark, you know when it's dirty. Since our Irobot Roomba thing and Oreck died, I've had to bring home my shark to get all the German Shepherd hair up. I wash the shark at the shop, pulling out all the filters and dust bin and washing them in the utility sink. It's a pain. I tried bringing my Kirby home but my wife absolutely hates that thing. I don't blame her. It's heavy, hard to push, and the adjustable head height is a pain. I don't even like using it at the rug shop. I normally just pull my Shark off the van.
We've been fighting with Roomba since May to get our robot fixed. Still waiting for a replacement.

It's a trap.

Sure!
Happy wife, happy life.And it’s still an Oreck
Oreck got it right with the 30' cord, I'll give them that. And it does great on the German Shepherd hair.

Let me be the first to commend you on being so health conscience about bringing a non virgin vacuum into your house.
There are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, cigarettes create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are toxic.

Dyson animal without an animal, and two Dyson stick vacs. 4 bedrooms with carpet and the rest, well I told you.
I've had two Dysons' and they both would over heat and shut down for about 20min until the innards reset. Have you ever had that happen? As much as I liked my Dyson I had to stop using it for this reason. It just couldn't make it through large jobs without a 20 minute break.

Cigarette or tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 different chemical compounds which are present in the solid phase, the gas phase or the liquid phase. ... The major gases include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide and the liquid vapours include formaldehyde, methane, benzene, ammonia and acetone

No I haven’t, but that don’t mean anything. All everything are pieces of crap, from vacuums, to cell phones, to vans, to TM’s, scrubbers to buffers.
Don’t think I don’t use eBay, for all of it. But, on Black Friday before Covid, Sams would run specials on Dysons. I like em for my house.
Just my bad luck I guess. Not Damon Proof.

Should I (me) have to do something for someone, my help, I’ll take a Dyson stick vac and a Rubbermaid self contained mop and go to town
But that is rare.

That stupid Kirby that I bought at that yard sale was given to Salvation Army after I put a new brush, bag, and belt on it. I spent $100 to give it away
Well, I think I figured out why the Oreck was for sale on Ebay. I plugged her in and she did not suck up the dog hair very well. Flipped it over and the beater brush was not spinning very fast. Took it apart and replaced the belt. She's running good now. I would bet the last owner sold it because they didn't know how to change the belt.

When we were looking for the temporary replacement, the cord was the big thing for me. I couldn’t have a 15 ft. residential cord in a school
even with an extension cord. Even for one day. Shark won out on that alone.
