I have a few questions about this one. Was this Shark's version of the Oreck vacs? I haven't seen too many of these. The only time I saw one was in a Marshall's years and years ago. Was this also both a commercial and home use upright? Have any of you ever tried one of these out? Does it sound as loud as an Oreck upright? I always thought these were interesting looking.

Is this a vacuum with a lift off canister?-the "lump" in the center of the handle looks like it could be a lift off canister vacuum. |

That mini upright was not Shark's version of a Oreck upright. Here in Canada, they actually did sell a 8 pound, soft bagged upright that looked EXACTLY like a Oreck. It used HEPA Cloth bags, had a headlight & was dark red in color, same color the Shark Professional/Shark Legacy EP754 powerhead canister that was a Miele copy. It was sold mainly in Canadian Tire, I think for $299, but could have been $249. This was around 2006 to 2009 or so. Very cheaply made, the fans were prone to cracking & breaking with hardly any usage. I have heard they were also sold in the USA, but cannot verify for sure. I tried to find a image on Google, but so far haven't found one.

Judging by the motor design it is direct air correct? Do you have a youtube channel by the way? if you do, do you think you could upload a video of this machine? To me, this strikes me as Sharks rarest machine, seeing as how very little I have seen them. There also is not too many pictures online of these odd shapen but very interesting looking cleaners.

John, my apologies for not replying back to this thread sooner. That upright is VERY elusive & hard to find a picture for!! And a couple of things I forgot....it had swivel steering & a Turbo boost setting.
Here is a picture of it from a online manual I found for it. Linked below is the manual & a Ebay auction for a package of belts. Rob http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Shark-UVC805-UVC8... homeappliance.manualsonline.com/m...
