Very helpful! I got a sock super stuck. I tried all the conventional methods to get it out but ended up needing to take the hose apart. Excellent instructions that got the job done with no lasting damage.

My Shark Vertex looks suspiciously like this unit. Maybe I should return it before I have problems that require me to do all this!

My first Shark lasted almost 20 years without a hitch. It was finally taken down by a plastic part inside the unit that I have been unable to locate. It would be quite an easy repair save the plastic part securing the handled hose to the body.

Yikes!
