The vacuum looks real similar to the Hoover bagless cannister vacuum everyone got last year for dirt cheap.
I think I found a power nozzle that will work. I took pics of it on eBay. |

All I had to do was enter NR96 into Shark's part locator on their website
Like most sharks the brushroll isn't separate you seem to have to buy the entire nozzle you'd be spending around 200 to get a new hose and head I'd suggest a different vacuum. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Blackheart's LINK |

"I actually find myself having a feeling like the existence of this vacuum cleaner was intentionally erased"
It's not a feeling - Shark and Dyson (among every other high end vacuum cleaner company) operate the same way. They sell really expensive vacuums and then provide no parts network for them. You have to get lucky and find salvage units, or sell the vacuum as parts and get another model. I never even knew Shark sold canister vacs in the USA, so this must be a rare model. Now if you really want to keep this vacuum and are dead-set on using it - an option (assuming the hose fits) would be to buy a Riccar Volt cordless central vacuum power nozzle. It's basically a universal power nozzle for anything you can hook up to it. Many collectors have used it with 60-70 year old vacuums. |

Well OP mentioned he wanted to keep the canister and didn't want an upright, so that's why I brought that up. But yeah otherwise just get another Shark upright. If you're tight on money just look on eBay for used ones and clean them up that way you are not paying new money every time. Or just find a brand that you can readily repair and has a parts network.

The bagless Bissell Zing canister is only $60, I'm sure you could pair it with a cheap turbo nozzle for under $100 total if OP wants a brushroll.
