Sharks “golden age” was only with 1 machine, and that was the Shark Navigator NV22L/ NV22LE, that came out in 2009, it was the first official Shark vacuum ever made (as it didn’t have the euro pro name wasn’t on it) and it looks just like yours, except it’s lilac and it has a different handle. But its main difference and why it’s so good, is the fact that it has a proper cyclone assembly, like a Dyson. It’s the only shark with that cyclone assembly. That thing was AMAZING!! I have one, it never clogged, filters needed to be washed like once a year, loved it. The problem with yours is that the cyclone inside the bin are.. well.. awful. That metal screen-cone thing offers nowhere near the amount of filtration the cyclone pack model had. You may notice the filters get dirty after the first 2-5 uses. The cyclone clone pack model prevents that. and it’s just better for the air in general. But I prefer bagged vacuums overall, like a Riccar or something like that. Also, this body style came out in 2009, but this specific model came out in around 2015-2016. But I love your videos!! They’re amazing and very detailed, Keep them up!!!
I personally dont really like sharks, the reason is they kind of seem to be high maintenance and im not a fan of that. I had a shark very similar to this several years ago, it was more annoying to me than anything. I like the function of them and how well they handle but the constant feeling like everything has to be cleaned out all the time bothered me. the other thing is that finding parts and actually getting into them is a pain, however these older ones though they are that way they are much better than the over engineerd junk they make now. I ended up giving mine to my best friend who was going off to collage for his dorm and I bought a used KIRBY G series. much easier to maintain for me. I really only prefer bagged machines because they are just easier to keep clean and maintain. I really do enjoy these videos
