We purchased this product to use in our RV.  When we first started using it, we were amazed how well the suction worked.  It pulled all the dog hair out of our carpets.  We couldn't be happier, then after less than 1 year, the motor quit.  Well, so much for that vacuum.  We paid good money for the vacuum, and the motor doesn't even last a year???  I thought shark made a better product than that.
