Woah, I never seen or even knew about that. Thanks for that tip!
I just checked online and came across news articles that mention the same location for finding manufacture date for recall notices. I have never come across this information at all before when looking up all the Shark vacs I have and trying to date them from manuals, reviews, etc, how weird. | ||

Since Shark does not supply many parts, vacuum service men like me have to improvise with things like cord changes. Customers are for the most part happy with their Sharks and pay me to fix them. I've replaced hundreds of Shark cords and always noticed the date stamp in the plug.
Glad I was able to provide a little help. | ||

The good thing is that China has gotten ahold of Shark's old tool & die stampings and have been replicating everything from belts to brushrolls to circuit boards to entire hoods and handles. I've been seeing several new brishrolls for Navigators being advertised as well as toothed belts.
OldCrankman, I've found vacuums thrown out from clogs and broken belts or just because they were "old". I have a Bissell Powerfoce awaiting restoration that someone killed from trying to vacuum out their entire dryer line. It's packed solid with dryer lint and there's a big clog in the suction path. They just threw it out. I then found a Dirt Devil in the trash that has a broken belt. It was only 6 months old at the time I found it, and it looks like it was sitting outside for several months. It's got mud splatter all over it and most of the screws are rusted. Then at an old lady's house I found an Eureka The Boss Excalibur that was thrown out with a bag packed solid just because it had a frayed cord sheathing (which these had a recall issued for in 1998) | ||

I own a vacuum shop. We sell new vacs and repair old ones. You should see the stuff people bring me and just give me. "It's you or the ditch' I've heard on many occasions. A customer GAVE me a Kirby Avalir (second edition - red trim) that his mother with dementia bought before she passed. He was so pissed off when he found it (and what she paid) that he brought it all to me and said "It's yours now". The original disposable bag was still in it. The machine now sits in my hall closet and I use it every once in a while.
