I went to my local thrift store today and saw this. It's a direct air shark. Never knew that shark made one. They want $20 for it. The base of it is cracked. Dose anyone know anything about these and should I go back for it?

I never seen one before but the name sounds familiar and it a bagged shark so it has to be rare.

I have had one of those for a few years, I think another collector gave it to me. I haven't fired it up for a long time, but remember it being a decent performer similar to an Oreck. I remember trying unsuccessfully to find bags for it, but a Kenmore canister bag 5055 I believe fits it, that's what I used. I'd pick it up just for it's uniqueness but ask them to lower the price due to the cracked base, and no bag availability.

It definitely looks like the overall style (apart from the weird oval shaped bag door) is designed the same way as Orecks. I wish someone put a video up on youtube of one I am curious as to what they sound like. Those are rare shark machines.

It seems like someone here was just recently talking about some rare Shark upright....wonder if it was this one? Something about it being the first vacuum Shark made or something?

Funnily enough I seen the Shark Euro Pro X handheld version of this vac at Goodwill in january, it sat there for 2 months before it was sold, and then funnily enough, a knockoff called the "Orca" took its place. strange times!

Interesting, I though it would. Is it possible you can post a video of it running?

I never seen anything like this before! I’m sure is rare! But I would say it’s around the early 2000’s.

Thanks for the subscribe. I don't normally post videos on it as I don't really have time. I did have a Instagram that I only post vacuum stuff if you are interested. Its evil vac man I post weekly on that.
