Did anyone see the Shark takeoff of Rainbow?

browsing through ebay ran across this

It is pretty junky, had one in my hands at a thrift store, but a Rainbow it isn't. I suppose it has some collectors value working, I don't think I'd consider it for any other reason. After getting my E Series for $20 I couldn't stomach $30 for a poorly made imitation.

STAY AWAY!!Note the machine does not have a rotating separator as the Rainbow has-The Euro-Pro Shark has a foam shop vacuum style filter-this IS NOT going to do as good a job as Rainbows separator system in keeping water out of the suction fan and motor.

I just thought it was interesting that Shark is trying to rip off Rainbow.

I'm guessing it's like the H2O vac a few years back. No parts available.
