Best Vac/Worst Model Number

We have strong opinions about model numbers, especially bad ones. But the idea is good. Googling a clear, specific number helps you zero in on the exact product under consideration. At its best, a model number is an indispensable tool for the consumer, retailer, and manufacturer.

At its worst, it’s actively harmful to all parties involved. Today we’ve got one of those.

The Shark people made a very good vacuum here. Read the hundreds of 5-star reviews and you’ll learn it excels at hard floors, carpet, upholstery, curtains, and walls. You’ll learn its easier to maneuver and at least as powerful as a Dyson. You’ll learn that people loved it at double this price. And you’ll learn there’s such a thing as a leather shag rug.

But wait! Those are for the Shark NV751. The thing we have today is officially model NV750REF. What gives?

Well, aside from a couple of very optional accessories, they’re the same vacuum. If you go searching for our model number on Amazon or elsewhere, you’ll find almost no reviews. If you search for the identical NV751, you’ll find plenty, overwhelmingly good.

Like this: “I have a dog, hardwood floors, thick area carpets, and a hard-to-clean leather shag rug… The Shark is easily the best vacuum we’ve ever had.”

And this: “This machine is not only a workhorse but is very well designed down to the smallest details.”

Here’s another one: “This vacuum is the one you have been searching for… You will be GLAD to see it on the floor, you will feel a little giddy when you go to the closet to get this vacuum.”

And another one: “I didn’t know it was possible to fall in love with a vacuum… How have I lived without it for so long?”

And, OK, one more: “I (am) personally in love with this vacuum and have a hard time finding any cons… I brag about it to my friends and family and tell them that they need a Shark in their lives if they don’t have one already. I even offer to let them do a test drive if they want.”

But you’ll never see any of that if you go searching for the official model number for what we’re selling. Consumers lose. We lose. Shark loses - and they’re the ones who made it up in the first place. And for what?

We know it’s important to make clear that this model doesn’t come with a canister caddy and an under-appliance tool. There’s gotta be a way to do it that doesn’t confuse the hell out of everyone.

So even though “NV750REF” meets our criteria for a decent model number - it’s short, it’s simple, it’s Google-unique - that confusion makes it one of the worst model numbers ever. The real tragedy is that it’s attached to one of the best vacuums ever.
