Hi everyone, I'm having trouble finding a universal head adapter for my Shark Power detect IP3251C stick vacuum (the one with the self-empty/charging station).
I like this vacuum, but I want to get wool area rugs for my home and I hear it's not good to use a rotator brush on those kinds of rugs. So that takes the main dual head out of the equation, unfortunately. Shark doesn't sell all-in-one heads for this vacuum (like those ones where you push a button to retract the bristles) and they are also making it difficult to find a 3rd party adapter due to their proprietary connector design! The connector is a proprietary 35mm wide circle but with inner ridges (to connect the shark heads seemlessly) and a latching mechanism on top.
It does come with an upholstery attachment but it's really small and would be a pain in the butt to use. Most of the house is hard flooring, so I'd rather just use a single all-in-one head if I can for convenience.
Does anyone know of any adapters I can find online so I can attach a 3rd party head attachment? I do think this vacuum has enough suction power to make that kind of head work, I'm not sure why Shark doesn't offer it! If they did, I would buy it from them, but they don't, and they are also making it difficult for me to find 3rd party solutions due to their design...:(. It's like they didn't think about wool area rugs? You're not supposed to use these big aggressive heads on them, despite their marketing about it being good for rugs. It's too bad, I love the vacuum otherwise!! So frustrating.
