Welp. It happened again. I was vacuuming a really bad cat hair infested vacant when my Shark gave out. The beater brush motor stopped working. Off to Best Buy I went for a no questions asked replacement. I love that extended warranty. Thank you. I've lost count at this point but I think this could be number 6 or 7. I'll admit, they aren't built to last, but they do an excellent job.
