So the handle keeps breaking off after one month of use even though the vacuum itself lasts for several months. Can I just purchase the handle?

They should replace it free of charge if you only had it a month. Of course if you have had it a long time the probably will not. It is worth calling customer service and talking to them. They are nice.

You can order parts for the shark flour and carpet sweeper. That includes the handle.

Jenny the handle should not have broken and the vacuum should last much longer than several months. It should be completly useable for years. I imagine you can return it if it's in that condition after a few months. I love mine and never have a problem with it. I have had it for years and it gets daily use.

I have never had that problem. My Shark is 2 years old and going strong. You could email the company and ask if they have a replacement handle.

RVG Remove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life. I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this. Al

Mine is about 4 years old now, and the plastic of the top handle is just now giving out. I intend to replace it with an exact duplicate of this.

Funny you should ask. When I bought the mop, I also bought two replacement sponge heads. When I recently put one on the replacements onto the handle (no problem), it fell apart the first time I used it. I can only imagine the sponge gets brittle with age, even in its box. Casabella replaced it for me without charge (but didn't send two, even though I'd reported having purchased two replacements). But to get to the point, I don't know whether my mop handle is the "older traditional classic ... Bee" or not. Sorry.

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

If you are wanting a replacement, the best source I know of is EBay. If you mean where on the vacuum is it located, it is on the front of the handle above the floor brush.

Good Luck , they don't have parts for this item , my son found a place in Cleveland to take them for repairs but it will be out of your pocket . Its a shame they don't stand behind there warranty. It is a great vacuum when it is not broken but it seems to have a lot of flaws the handle also breaks very easily. Sorry I couldn't help you

Just buy the whole thing- chances are that the handle is soon to break anyway and you can sell the rest on e-bay if you like. All the best

I too had to buy a new wand for my vacuum at a cost of about $130 (remembering off my head - didn't look up the actual and I bought it about 5 months ago). It came down to deciding whether to throw out an otherwise perfectly good vacuum and paying at least $300 - $500 for one that may or may not be any better a year or two later or spending the 130 and getting at least another year or two out of this one. I chose to buy the part while some others here went for the new vacuum - it's a crap shoot either way it just depends on what you want to do.

I have not seen a way to do it. This vacuum is no way near the quality and durability of the old Electrolux vacuums. If you purchase this, be very careful not to let it tip. It tends to tip backward and the plastic is very brittle. I like the canister (in this model) better than the bag (in the older models) and it vacuums better than lots of models like Dirt Devil. But it won't last like the old E's. I've already had trouble with the beater bar not working and parts cracking that made it difficult to get a good seal on the canister.

I have never had a problem with the mop handle coming off and this is the first that I have heard of it happening. Hopefully they will replace the mop for you or refund your money.

I agree that the handle is below average for use on wear and tear. It breaks easily, although I do not even use my set anymore after the first couple of tries. If memory serves me correctly I thought the warranty covered parts for 1 years..but not completely sure. Sorry you are going through this. In future, I would HIGHLY recommend changing to the blue rubber type cups where you use your hand only to apply. They take some getting use to also, but in the long run they are worth the investment I think. Good luck.

No there is no place to attach the extra tools on the handle or the vacuum itself. You would have to come up with your own creative way of connecting them. Hope this helps. Awesome vacuum by the way!

You should call the company to get one. I broke my handle (by dropping) they sent me a new one right away.

I would also say the handle comes with the broom. If you are wanting a better handle I would try another handle and see if that would work.

The brushes are available on Amazon although hard to find and for just $1.26 more you can replace the whole Vacuum head!

I know this is an old thread, but here is the Customer Support number to call: 800-618-7474 (the American Mower Co.) When the lady answered I told her my mower model and how it had a broken handle, and she knew IMMEDIATELY what I was talking about. Gave my mailing information and received a replacement in a few days. Not just the broken part -- they sent all the necessary parts to replace the ENTIRE handle, from the base up to the foam handle. And it's also a new design which looks a lot more durable.
