I think so as I've heard it. Mentioned in reviews.motor looks the same too. I got the Bissell powerforce helix but replaced it with a shark navigator light. The Bissell still works as i refurbished it . .selling it to my neighbor that wants it. Idont mess with cheap generic crap unless I feel like busting something.. threw a ureka airspeed down some stairs once. That. Was interesting. Another piece of crap.
I swear there's a dirt bike or chainsaw off camera. I got a piece of crap dirt devil scorpion hand vac that's angered me as the suction is poor even with new filters. I wonder what would happen if I lit some jumping Jack's in it lol? Bout all its good for.
I know one vacuum. He prob has not destroyed. And i hate.. those filter queens. Over priced,fancy stupid. Canister vacuums. They dont like sheetrock chunks and dust lol.
