Upgraded Replacement Hose Handle for Shark Rotator Lift-Away Vacuum Models For Series NV355 NV356 NV357 NV358 NV370 UV440 (NV360 Blue UV550 Gray NV391 Red) OEM # 153FFJ

The original handle easily clicked into place. This one does not click unless you push the handle in somewhat hard, but you can fix it! Basically you can take apart the original handle (the purple part with the red locking tab) and reassemble it with the new hose from this product. It takes about 20 minutes - about 2 out of 5 on the difficulty scale. Then you get a brand new hose with the OEM handle, so it clicks into place perfectly. To do this, it looks like you need a special screw driver, but a large flat head jewelers screw driver will remove the screws. You have to pry off the gray cover for the red tab. Then everything slides apart. Theres some wire dangling inside (maybe to ground the tube) but it reassembles and works fine without it. This would definitely be a 5 star product if they would have measured the locking mechanism a little better so you get a good click. As is, Im worried that someone will reinsert the handle and try to pick up the vacuum and it will slide out.

The original hose was wore out. It was a good replacement, fit good as good as the original.

Color different then vacuum, but works perfectly.

I love that I works with my otherwise perfectly good vacuum cleaner. Rather than having to buy a new vacuum when the hose broke I was able to get a new hose that works perfectly and don’t have to go out and buy a whole new vacuum.

Worked great fits my shark vacuum perfect

Used this hose for my 6 year old vac that had holes and was losing suction. Perfect fit and back to new working order.

Very easy to order and install. Very satisfied with my purchase.

My old Shark vac hose finally came apart after years of use and stretched to its limits. I love this replacement handle and hose. Very nice quality handle, and the hose seems to be made well. Time will tell. It does stretch farther than the old one. Also good value for the money.

This product was part of my vacuum cleaner that fit into a pipe. I ordered something that said it would fit into my model vac. It didnt. Once I learned how to return it that problem was solved. I needed a human to assist me reordering what I needed. After many attempts I finally contacted a human and between the two of us we discovered the part that I needed. I now have a working vac thanks to Amazon and my persistent drive to get what I wanted and needed.

Easy to install and works as a great replacement for a broken handle.
