Can you recommend a lighter weight cord for this vacuum? Thanks!

The vacuum uses ~4 amps (according to specs). At that rating, literally any 3-prong extension cord will work. I'd suggest going to the hardware or big box store and just compare the cords they have in your desired length for the lightest. Or compare shipping weights on amazon for cords of your desired length and pray.

Yes, it's a great vaccum. I like it because it is light weight and you can carru it wherever you need it. I have one as well as both of my daughters. (Lots of dogs and kids). My only advice is be careful with the automatic cord rewinder. Don't let it rewind fast. Two of us had to have them replaced and it was very costly.

HelloYou will need a cord, it's worth buying though because, it's a good tool and is easy to handle and is light. I hope this helps!

Hello Wendy, I use an standard outdoor extension cord for light duty. I have heavier outside cords but they're not as easy to maneuver when trying to make sure I don't run it over. Home Depot, Lowe's or even Walmart will carry the cord.

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

This is the most compact lightest weight vac I've ever had and the cord is totally retractable, and actually works when you press the button. The only criticism is that any accessories you purchase for this must be stored separately, as they will not store on the unit itself. Hope that helps.

Get the corded unless you can clean with less then 5 mins of vacuum time after 24 hrs of charge.

This is a very lightweight tool at 5.5 lbs. It is electric so you will need to use it with an extension cord. Users of all types can operate this tool.

I bought my cord at a local hardware store, and it was a heavy 12/3 cord. I've used that on my Sun Joe mower and roto-tiller for 3 seasons now with no problems to either motor.

Sorry, Regina. My vacuum is still working and I need my power cord. Did you try a local vacuum repair shop as they often had old parts available. I picked up a clean, but used hose for my vac that I use in my basement. Good Luck!!

I looked up the specs on this hand vac (Shark Pet Perfect II) and it weighs 4.354 lbs. It's a great little vacuum for "pull," however, it has a persistent loud shrill sound when it's "working." Maybe I'll wear earplugs!

This fall we replaced our old vac with a Miele hepa vac. Again German made with high suction and a small canaster. A little pricey but check Amazon. We bought ours from a local dealer. Just look for models that are hepa. Neighbor has had one for 15 yrs and still going strong.

There is no quick release for the cord, but don't let that be a determining factor for this awesome vacuum. It is light and easy to carry. I love the strap on it which allows me to safely use a ladder for high areas. It doesn't take up much room to store. I have a large shop vac, a small shop vac a high quality canister vac and a very heavy upright vac and this little guy is the one I use most of the time. Better get it!

If you're going to spend that much, buy a MIELE brand. I'm looking to replace ours, which is about 10 years old. It's easy to use and lightweight with great suction. I'm looking to see if any other brands are equivalent and cheaper possibly for replacement. I saw your comment and thought I'd comment.

The cord is not retractable. The reason our vacuum became unreliable has been due to a loose connection. If we pulled slightly on the lead or pushed it slightly into the back of the machine it would work. It maybe a simple loose connection but infuriatingly it seems a huge job to remedy the problem. In short if the lead still comes out of the plastic rotating lug that you wind the lead around I would be worried you would eventually have the same problem we experienced. Good luck on your decision.

That's disappointing no cigarette outlet? But still seems like a good power enough vacuum. Looking for something for portable and that can work in a lighter.
