I’ve always heard that men or anyone else for that matter, should NEVER GIVE a lady a Vacuum Cleaner as a Christmas gift. And I’m here to inform those ppl that they are WRONG! Because when your beloved Shark Vacuum decides to call it quits after 10 long, loyal years three days before Christmas and the shop-vac has to do until I can replace it. I have to say that my New and definitely improved Shark Vacuum has to be my all time FAVORITE gift EVER. And before anyone asks, of course I bought it for myself. Life is so much easier after I was able to out the 40 gal Shop-Vac back in the building where it belongs. My New Shark is the best vacuum I’ve ever owed!
