Fast shipping and fits great! Great price for replacement part. Hope it will last long!

So glad we could just buy this part and didnt have to replace the whole vacuum cleaner.

I bought this handle and hose to replace my original one. It had torn from use. This handle is exactly the same. Fits perfectly. The only downside is you cannot put the ring on it, that holds the hose to the vacuum. Theres no way to remove and replace that. It doesnt affect anything though.

I was skeptical that it would fit my unit. It looked exactly the same and to our delight it fit perfectly. It will definitely extend the life of our vacuum.

After months of replacing the tape on my vacuums hose, I realized it was time to get a new vacuum. I didn’t want to spend that money so I decided to just check and see if I could find a replacement, and sure enough I did! This came the very next day and fit perfectly onto my vacuum! Works great, and matches perfectly! So glad I didn’t impulse buy a new vacuum!

Thank you so much for carrying this product!! My Shark vacuum that I had had for eight years had gotten several splits in the hose. My husband has been able to repair them as they have been close to the top but this last split was right in the middle so we decided to retire that vacuum and get a newer model of shark, I have never been so disappointed in all my life. The new one has a shorter cord no light too much suction, no matter how much you adjust it and the attachments fall off… when I found that I could just replace the hose I was in heaven, I have my old vacuum back!!!!!I am going to keep it in till the wheels fall off. Thank you so much. !!!

Was easy to install

As others have said this replacement part for the Shark vacuum cleaner is Better than the original because the hose is more flexible, making it easier to reach places that are distant from the vacuum itself. It was easy to move the Shark hose retaining ring from the original (now broken) hose, onto the replacement hose. I followed the steps below, which only took about 10 minutes. 1) cut through the spring steel in original hose with a small hand held grinder - - - do this first 2) slide the original hose retaining ring off of the original hose at the newly cut hose-end 3) using an ultra-thin hack saw blade, slowly cut through the white outside ring and the red internal ring of the original hose retaining ring. 4) drop these parts into a cup of hot (boiled) water so they become slightly pliable; remove and immediately spread the rings just enough to clip each ring over the replacement hose... 5) slide a small thin piece of cardboard between the cut area of the red ring and the new hose under it, to insulate the high (melting) heat of the soldering iron tip from the new hose! 6) using a clean Hot soldering iron tip, carefully mend the red ring by smooshing the melted red edges toward the thin cut, from both sides - do not touch or melt the new hose. Also do not overdo the mend; only melt enough to bring the melted ends together. When cool, remove the cardboard. 7) slide the white (cut) ring over the (now mended) red ring. 8) repeat step 6, again being careful not to touch and melt the new hose. 9) slide the mended ring assembly along the new hose to the optimal position. (You want to have the ring low enough to keep the hose tension off the handle; that is the part of the original hose that eventually tore through from over-flexing, in my case.) 10) click the original hose retaining rings ball into the vacuum cleaners spherical socket. Voila.

Quick return, exactly as advertised

I was very disappointed when my hose tore on my shark vacuum. I have owned the Purple NV501 for 12 years and it is still a fantastic product. I found this replacement and it saved my vacuum. Well worth the price!
